yes on the sending of psychic energy:

It brings to mind all kind of associations with witchcraft, sorcery, shamanism, and black magic. You can understand why i am interested in possession, entities, mind control and other psi related phenomena because of the strong correlation between my experiences and what i have researched.

The information out there, up till now has not been fully satisfactory to me and it is a somewhat shady subject matter, not scientifically provable or properly documented; the shadow realms. The new age handles this phenomena rather superficially, I have yet to meet someone who can relate properly to the ethics involved.
I do have a basic understanding of how the energy mechanics work, how energy is transfered, it seems this ability comes rather naturally to me.??

For example; it is possible for me to impress certain thoughts and vibrations onto someone without their consent and plant certain thoughts into their consciousness and even have them act a certain way, and even if they don't like it, they cannot block this, it stops when I stop. In other words I am overriding the free will of another. ?
What are the consequences? Every action has a re-action.

Is this some form of parasitic behavior? Will I experience a negative boomerang effect? like psychic issues later, how well protected am I energetically? It really makes me stop dead in my tracks sometimes when I realise what i am capable of. !!! fear comes up and always some sort of conscience.

Almost always the subject/reciever is enjoying the attention and for the first time aware of the uncanny, otherwordly for me normal, happenings.

Then this phenomena also brings to mind associations with prison planet, mass mind control, secret governement, tv, advertising etc, nwo, it seems most people are energetically not protected, unwillingly giving their power away, open to psychic control (spiritual control).
Where does free will come in? Was darwin right after all: survival of the fittest??? :( Thought police indeed.

You said in the e:

i was also inspired to resurrect an idea i had toyed with a few years ago, about each person having their own domain, or empire, and that imposing one's ideas upon another, upon the world, was a kind of imperialism albeit born of personal desires, not that of the state. (what is the state version of it other than the collection of individual wills?)

This makes sense!

There is sphere of influence, aura, of powerful minds. the more conscious one is, the more power one has? and the more power one has, the more responsible one must become.
Integrity then comes into play (free will) because one may use the power to further ones personal empire born from personal desires or further ones empire born from heart space/compassion based, to further mankind, alleviate suffering etc.

The secret force and energetic interaction 2

My aura can become enlarged and I can mostly control it. I can send energy through space, I can send thoughts, it is possible. This is a reality I am used to, perhaps not yet fully adjusted to. The ethics involved still puzzle me, for example whether or not it is ok to send someone x or y (thought) energy?

I know that energetic rape exists but also energetic healing, I know it's possible to remove a blokkage or entity from someones field just with the snap of the fingers or a simple thought. My presence alone may be uplifting and I must trust in life orchestrating all humans somehow, so that my presence does not effect something without the other wanting it or allowing it or enjoying it.

What are the karmic processes that are set in motion when I send someone energy?

Be it my physical energy or thought energy, images, words and all the rest, general day to day interaction is always happening but if you manipulate someone psychically; is that 'bad'?

The answer lies in the word; manipulate (handle or control (a tool, mechanism, etc.), typically in a skillful manner: "he manipulated the dials"). My feeling is that any kind of manipulation that is detrimental to the life force of another is 'not done'.

Does sending energy to someone interfere with their free-will?

This whole phenomenon raises a lot of questions about the nature of free will and whether or not on some level there is consent from both parties in order for it to take place. Sometimes I don't feel that I am free to think certain thoughts, sometimes I feel I need to censor my thoughts just in case the person I am thinking about knows what I'm thinking about them or feeling for them or about them. Sometimes there seems to be no psychic privacy, I am not schizofrenic, sometimes I am overtly paranoid.

Who decides though what is bad or good for another and what about the reasoning of doing something just because you can, because it is possible for you to do so?

The secret force is there for those who are honorable. It is available to those who can integrate it fully. Just like learning to ride a bike or drive a car; it takes practise, it takes experience to learn to use the secret force properly without causing injury to self or others. There must be some heart space for it to rest in. It is very powerful. There doesn't seem to be much info on this subject as of yet; the mind-power thing and it's correlating energetic manifestations, it certainly is unknown terrain for most of us at this time.

This is not a drug induced phenomenon although it is very much alike to some of those experiences.
There is absolutely an altered state/reality here but it's more like the 'freakish' reality is the predominant one. The reality in which these things do not exist is unreal to me and more like an altered state of consciousness when I experience it. Sometimes I think I tampered with my brain a little but the force continues to grow stronger, previous posts on this blog confirm this and my psychoactive substance use on the other hand gets less and less.

Reiki has been a huge factor these last years. There is a link, it's all unraveling; any control I believed I had but didn't want.

I think I am a little scared of this power because I know it is so easily abused, I  have been down that road before, the one where violation is involved and it scares me, unconsciously and consciously, ok semi consciously. I may be trying to avoid situations in which I could be seduced into using this ability for my own selfish (percieved) gain. It's not something I can switch on or off! If my life force is weak or ungrounded then the force is less available and also weak for use.

I am puzzled about consequences. I seem to have no choice in the matter, this integrity is practically forced upon me by this ability.

duality discussions 2

Feeling like a fool, leaning towards the light, knowing that what I write will come into manifestation. Now I know that, well it's time to write about what I want from this life, and yes I have very high standards.
Something that has been approaching for ages has finally arrived: the confrontation with my beliefs about the duality.
My confusion is about the middle road again, the discussion is about my beliefs; are they valid?
Are my desires false? What about my intent? Is wanting to eliminate suffering from my life a fallacy of huge proportions? Are evil acts justified? Are my expectations naive and based around cognitive dissonance?
Fear, fear, fear. Done, done, done. Exhausted.
There are no true rewards for any behavior. It's like everyone knows this already except me, life can be fucked up but that's the fun part. Most people are having a total blast! It's fun out there!
craving=suffering
Me back on the cognitive grindstone and just all jaded about ethics.

Truth and falsity

Spinoza's notions of truth and falsity have to do with the relation between ideas and their objects. He thinks that:

Every idea that in us is absolute, or adequate and perfect, is true.

Falsity consists in the privation of knowledge which inadequate, or mutilated and confused, ideas involve.

"Good" and "Evil"

Spinoza gives the following definitions of "Good", and "Evil":

By good I shall understand what we certainly know to be useful to us.

By evil, however, I shall understand what we certainly know prevents us from being masters of some good.

Don't look back in anger

They have tried hard to control me, keep me down, and keep me miserable in negation. Fear was the ultimate weapon they used against me. They played out their games of judgment, guilt and shame.

This is exactly how these forces work but the light these days is so bright and so discerning, it has never been as sharp as these last months.

Now that they cannot escape it they cling onto anything that justifies their way of being. They know that something isn’t right, they see the lies, centuries of lies surfacing, dissolving, illumination surrounds me, I shine in the brilliance of ethics.

In the old energy they find their last comfort before they have to face the dawn, in the energy of domination, corruption and discrimination they wait. I showed them a new way, I gave them a new consciousness, for just a little while they were free to choose.

Their pride and dogma would not allow it and they persecuted me. They tried to keep me down, they tried to keep me on their level, and they kept me in fear. For a while I went back to playing their game, trapped in the density of their thoughts. I have been the victim.

I am fierce in my new understanding and yet gentle, I am out of control in my acceptance, yet with morals, I am breaking every law and yet still responsible.

Women, The Conscience of Humanity

When the ancient civilization of Atlantis reached the same point of evolution as ours today, there was little difference between men and women, except for the obvious physical ones. At that stage in their evolution, Atlanteans discovered that sound, like our laser beam technology today could be used for many wonderful healing applications. But on the diabolical side, the so-called Sons of Belial in Atlantis wanted to use this invention for warfare. Like a bullet, sound could be aimed at a man's heart and cause it to explode. Masses could be exterminated at once.

On this issue, a great rift developed between the men and women of the Atlantean scientific community. Curiously, on one side there were a lot of women while on the other, a majority of men with some exceptions. The women maintained that, "Just because we can do something is no reason to say we should do it. Wherein are we, therefore, beholding to ethics or morals of any kind? Wherein is conscience to be found?"

The opposing side, comprised mostly of men, argued that women were getting soft in the head. They were letting sentimentality get in the way of scientific skill. The men than launched a campaign against the women to discredit, belittle and humiliate them. They won their campaign and unfortunately also destroyed their fairly advanced civilization.

Those same masculine-influenced souls have come to occupy earth over the centuries, carrying with them the same antagonism they had left off with in Atlantis. This has created a "macho" civilization where men dominate business, politics and power. This unbalanced masculine dominating ray is primarily associated with the so-called white races on earth and has a tendency to take and dominate matters by force. These souls promote the "might makes right" syndrome. The result is, that the earth again stands at the same threshold as the Atlanteans did before their destruction, on the brink of war.

Code of Ethics for Spiritual Guides

People have long sought to enrich their lives and to awaken to their full natures through spiritual practices including prayer, meditation, mind-body disciplines, service, ritual, community liturgy, holy-day and seasonal observances, and rites of passage. "Primary religious practices" are those intended, or especially likely, to bring about exceptional states of consciousness such as the direct experience of the divine, of cosmic unity, or of boundless awareness.

In any community, there are some who feel called to assist others along spiritual paths, and who are known as ministers, rabbis, pastors, curanderas, shamans, priests, or other titles. We call such people 'guides': those experienced in some practice, familiar with the terrain, and who act to facilitate the spiritual practices of others. A guide need not claim exclusive or definitive knowledge of the terrain.

Spiritual practices, and especially primary religious practices, carry risks. Therefore, when an individual chooses to practice with the assistance of a guide, both take on special responsibilities. The Council on Spiritual Practices proposes the following Code of Ethics for those who serve as spiritual guides.

1. [Intention] Spiritual guides are to practice and serve in ways that cultivate awareness, empathy, and wisdom.
2. [Serving Society] Spiritual practices are to be designed and conducted in ways that respect the common good, with due regard for public safety, health, and order. Because the increased awareness gained from spiritual practices can catalyze desire for personal and social change, guides shall use special care to help direct the energies of those they serve, as well as their own, in responsible ways that reflect a loving regard for all life.
3. [Serving Individuals] Spiritual guides shall respect and seek to preserve the autonomy and dignity of each person. Participation in any primary religious practice must be voluntary and based on prior disclosure and consent given individually by each participant while in an ordinary state of consciousness. Disclosure shall include, at a minimum, discussion of any elements of the practice that could reasonably be seen as presenting physical or psychological risks. In particular, participants must be warned that primary religious experience can be difficult and dramatically transformative.Guides shall make reasonable preparations to protect each participant's health and safety during spiritual practices and in the periods of vulnerability that may follow. Limits on the behaviors of participants and facilitators are to be made clear and agreed upon in advance of any session. Appropriate customs of confidentiality are to be established and honored.
4. [Competence] Spiritual guides shall assist with only those practices for which they are qualified by personal experience and by training or education.
5. [Integrity] Spiritual guides shall strive to be aware of how their own belief systems, values, needs, and limitations affect their work. During primary religious practices, participants may be especially open to suggestion, manipulation, and exploitation; therefore, guides pledge to protect participants and not to allow anyone to use that vulnerability in ways that harm participants or others.
6. [Quiet Presence] To help safeguard against the harmful consequences of personal and organizational ambition, spiritual communities are usually better allowed to grow through attraction rather than active promotion.
7. [Not for Profit] Spiritual practices are to be conducted in the spirit of service. Spiritual guides shall strive to accommodate participants without regard to their ability to pay or make donations.
8. [Tolerance] Spiritual guides shall practice openness and respect towards people whose beliefs are in apparent contradiction to their own.
9. [Peer Review] Each guide shall seek the counsel of other guides to help ensure the wholesomeness of his or her practices and shall offer counsel when there is need.

doing what everybody could do but doesn't

Gandhi was a strong individual, and his strength lay in the richness of his personality, not in the multitude of his possessions. His goal was To be, not To have. Happiness came to him through self-realization. Fearing nothing, he could live the truth. Having nothing, he could pay for his principles.

Mahatma Gandhi is the symbol of personal morality and public action. When conscience dwells at home but not in the workshop, office, classroom and marketplace, the road is wide open to corruption and cruelty and dictatorship.

Gandhi enriched politics with ethics. He faced each morning's issues in the light of eternal and universal values. He always distilled a permanent element out of the ephemeral. Gandhi thus broke through the framework of usual assumptions which cramp a man's action. he discovered a new dimension of action. Unconfined by considerations of personal success or comfort, he spilt the social atom and found a new source of energy. It gave him weapons of attack against which there was no defence. His greatness lay in doing what everybody could do but doesn't.

'Perhaps he will not succeed,' Tagore wrote of the living Gandhi. 'Perhaps he will fail as the Buddha failed and as the Christ failed to wean men from their iniquities, but he will always be remembered as one who made his life a lesson for all ages to come,'

Getting caught up in the paradox

The duality of this life just gets more and more intriguing now I choose not to fight it or get too caught up in it. It’s really, really hard to not get caught up and I sometimes feel that it’s better to get caught up in order to maybe change something.

Getting caught up in vicious verbal discussions and heated debates means a descent into the realms of those blinded by illusion and ego struggles, I choose unity.

It’s hard to stay centered in the heart and not move to the mind. All around me the paradoxes and duality flame up. Truth is in the paradox, in the eye of the storm.

There are those close to me that see war as a necessary evil, that think the Bush administration is doing a good thing, that take sides with Israel against Palestine, that have hate and trust issues with minority groups, they justify the use of guns and are racist. They are so close to me that it hurts.

I will not be the one to poke sticks in ant’s nests; I will not feed the fire. Sometimes it’s best to leave people with their cherished illusions; I am someone that stands by his principles. I prefer not to have anything to do with those that base their principles on fear and ignorance but I must. I have to interact with these people, I love them, and they are very close to me. I am in this situation, I am the opposing force, and there must be a reason for this. It is frustrating and sad but I am here, I have put myself in this position and this is my place to shine.

I am just as much part of the paradox and who am I to judge?

This does not mean that I move from my principles or justify the actions of others. Being close to someone does not mean that I have to get all soft and open to their mind state. Peaceful resistance and a non-judgmental heart based foundation are crucial. It starts with the calm and light in me, the inner tends to become the outer. We reach understanding of true love through our negative actions, which is what the duality is there for, we feed it, we nurture it, and it is our school in this age of ethics.

Without darkness there would be no experience of light and so we slowly reach understanding and truth.

Conscious Archetypes

Archetypes are patterns of energy that are easily recognizable and resonant to human beings, and become the unconscious frameworks that determine how/why people think and react. The name comes from Greek archetypos, "original pattern." Archetypes are universally familiar characters or situations that transcend time, place, culture, gender, and age. They represent eternal truths.

We identify and relate to archetypes as primary characters or personalities of the human condition. They are the "givens" in our psychological makeup, the patterns that shape our perceptions of the world—an unlearned tendency to experience things in a certain way. Some archetypes include the Mother, the Father, and the Child. Many archetypes are story characters. Probably best known is the Hero, usually engaged in fighting the "shadow" in the form of dragons and other monsters. Then there is the Witch who controls, manipulates, and casts spells—destroying connection with other people and with oneself. Or there is the Trickster, often represented by a clown or a magician, whose role is to hamper progress and generally make trouble.

To quote Jung:

"All the most powerful ideas in history go back to archetypes. This is particularly true of religious ideas, but the central concepts of science, philosophy, and ethics are no exception to this rule. In their present form they are variants of archetypal ideas, created by consciously applying and adapting these ideas to reality. For it is the function of consciousness not only to recognize and assimilate the external world through the gateway of the senses, but to translate into visible reality the world within us."

—"The Structure of the Psyche" (1927), in Collected Works Vol. 8.

Thus, self-realization (sometimes called individuation) is partly instinctual. When you intersect with an archetype, you connect with an energy that mirrors your own energy. People contact their archetypes without even knowing they have. When we talk about someone "pushing our buttons" or "love at first sight," we enter the realm of archetype. When we hear inner voices, or our friends say, "that isn't like you," we are displaying an archetype. When we are beside ourselves with rage, or when we notice ourselves looking exactly like mom or dad, when we speak words we do not intend to say, or goof ourselves up in any number of ways, we are exhibiting an archetype. Jung says that when you are in the grips of the archetype, you don't have it—it has you. Jung further believed that “archetypes were, and still are, psychic forces that demand to be taken seriously, and they have a strange way of making sure of their effect.”

By exploring the archetypal figures you manifest, you can develop a more complete, whole sense of self. Archetypes are powerful for helping you notice what you are doing with your energy—or even to make your life a bit more exciting or relaxing, once you choose to manifest them consciously.
