Energy Vampires

I came across this interesting video yesterday, entitled Energy Vampires Part 1. It makes one wonder if it is possible to see things clearly in a close relationship, or if we can ever know what others really think of us...?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWPBHgoRG1I

Meditated on the message, and I saw how this kind of energy pervades our world, that we all wander in some kind of darkness that is outside of what we can see. We are all reflecting some part of our psyche onto others selectively, i.e., we are all components in a larger psyche or Psyche, the Soul of the World, a greater Being in whom we live and move and have our being.

In my conceptions I usually think of the First Emanations as some kind of pure Mother substance, a Prima Materia they call it, whether the Vacuum, Void, etc., and then from out of that our world emanates, as we are sort of expelled like Adam & Eve from a Garden of Wholeness into a time-space continuum of Separation and Wandering, such that we have to go on a Journey to find our way back.

NOW it looked like each of us is like a light bulb, a self contained unit of Radiance, but each of us has a unique set of gunas and therefore "filters." And we are right now, at this moment, and have always been immersed in Mother Substance, which is pure darkness. We swim in it, we are cradled in it. And like Vitvan’s tale of the chela going up the dark mountain with a lantern, all we can see is a few feet in front of us, seeing through the eyes and lens of our persona and its filters, seeing by the Light that we cast off.

You zoom out and you see all these little lights moving through a vast Sea of Pure Darkness. The Units of Light are what Vitvan calls the Positive Force, it is the (so-called) Male force that Feel-Knows the Female’s body of substance. Something like the animal-male penetrates the female, this quality of the point of Light to illumine the Mother substance is actually the act of Knowing what that Unit is made of, Who It is.

In other words, God emanates all possibility, all gunas are threading and swimming in that Dark Ocean, and the URGE to know ITSELF is expressed as these emergent points of Light which illumine the area around them so they can see-feel-know the gunas swimming like schools of unconscious fish. 

Each of us sends back a unique field report to Headquarters of how it looks to us.

And now back to Energy Vampires... Who is responsible then for what they do not see? Or for what their own Light cannot illuminate, and for which filters they came into this incarnation with, thanks to the Mutation Machine that spins out new re-vamped (pun intended) models of flesh every few micro-seconds according to some astrological clock wheel?

I also got a glimpse that this is a communication from the “devil of darkness,” the type that inhabits Illuminati circles and feeds off the energy of others, like in the movie Eyes Wide Shut.

The devil himself is a wounded entity, part of a long chain, who enslaved himself and he too needs to be freed. So I did a little inner work on accepting, forgiving and it was dicey -- I could feel this taffy like lure in my gut, that he, just like the scorpion who stings the frog and says he can’t change his nature, is like the devil. If I open up too far in compassion he will take advantage, and so I gingerly hold him at arm’s length, but ask all the helpers “above” me to lift him up, and lift me up from this vision of my entanglement and Unknowing.

On a bigger level, I saw that we each serve on one team or another, on some side that we will always take when driven to the wall by fear for our survival.

Ultimately, we each have to take responsibility for the darkness inside of us and recognize that it is also in others, but also from the viewpoint that no one is to blame, since the Darkness is that Mother Substance we know not of, and there are fish out there also created by God’s hand, who may feed off of us.

I guess the only “solution” is for each to find that Unit of Light within with which they Know, and see that That is what they have in common with all others, and lift themselves above identifying exclusively with their own little circle of substance.

Anyway I feel like this was part of a purge in me, and in the race psyche. I hope for all of us that the "devil" within each heart is coming out and that he then acknowledges that he has been there all this time, and the force of the Frequency Change is liberating him too, like a genii released from his millennium-long imprisonment.

At the temples of Angkor Wat they have the famous depiction of the Churning of the Milky Ocean, i.e., the birth of Kosmos by two forces who have a tug of war with each other. Graham Hancock in his Search for Lost High Civilization points out there are 54 Nagas of Light and 54 Nagas of Dark. These perfectly balanced forces of Light/Dark weave the threads of all the resonant gunas in the Mother Sea. 54 is harmonic of the 432 cycle, as well as a precessional number. All is number and frequency.

No Light without the Dark. What they usually leave out is the story of how this cosmic serpent spit forth a "great poison" which Shiva or Vishnu then drank, and it was the first entheogen. You could read it that it was the “poison” that killed the ego-mind of duality, but then revealed the God-Mind-Level in us and we saw that there is really no side to take, as Light and Dark in their tug-of-war creates this Kosmos...

Armonic Field

Written on morning of my birthday Jan 7 2011.

 

The underlying root reality is the Harmonic Field.

·                     Picture of the planet making depression in the gravitic grid.
 

 

 

·                     This is really the underlying Harmonic Field (HF) birthing the particle.

·                     This is Light Mother birthing the child.

·                     This is dark night sky sweating out stars.
 

·                     We focus on the stars or particles and overlook the underlying (udder-lying) Harmonic Field

·                     The Harmonic Field is the web of vibrational mathematical relationships. It is the collagen that connects all the cells.

·                     By resonance are different nodes entrained. To the eye that sees only particles there appears to be no connectedness but only “empty” space and distance between the resonating particles, or data points.

·                     Each conscious being has a “reality tunnel” or limiting lens that auto-constructs reality by only resonating those chords in its software. This causes the Harmonic Field to activate those data points that “prove” the “truth” of the viewpoint of that reality tunnel. Selective observation.

·                     13,000 years ago in the Golden Age perception of the HF predominated over perception of the particles.

·                     The Harmonic Field is a Self-referential web. This Self organizing Intelligence is Christ Mind. When we say, “Let that Mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus our Lord,” we mean, let your little mind of particulars be entrained by the Mind of the Harmonic Field.

·                     Thus 13,000 years ago in the Gold Age, little minds were absorbed in the Harmonic Field, and the placement of temples, buildings, Rennes le Chateau, etc., was done without resorting to math on paper, for the beings who “walked with God” were clear channels to the HF, and they sited the structures as an expression of the mathematical harmonics of the Harmonic Field.

·                     We call the Harmonic Field the AEtheric, or Etheric. It is the source of our vitality.

·                     The Harmonic Field is the Field of Be-ingness, the Undifferentiated Mother that supports all the “children” or particles.

·                     The Harmonic Field is the Armonic Field (AF), or the Rotational Fire that animates all particles. We symbolize the AF by the pentagram, the Self-referential Phi figure. The swastika with its 4 arms and center point also symbolizes the Rota power.

·                     A cubic inch of the Void is said to contain enormous power.

·                     Thus in “making” or ‘bringing to earth” or manifesting the One as ST-One, Stone, we only need a pinch of the Armonic Field.

·                     Add the pinch to the Green Lion which will thirstily drink up this Rota Fire

 

• Now wet the dried earth called our scaly black dragon, which is a massa confusa, a pomegranate of fertility

• Things must be brought to a liquid state for the Spirit (Rota) to move and transform.



Phee Phi Pho Phum I smell the blood of an Angel's Plum

·                     Under external heat the mixt is softened and liquefied. The Rota moves and loosens the bonds in the pomegranate. The pomegranate lattice-work is the containment chamber or Klein bottle that will contain the moving Plasmic Spirit.

 

·                     Thus, very little Armonic Salt, dissolved in a greater proportion of Green Lion, wetting a larger yet portion of Earth. 

 

·                     How much salt should the Green Lion drink? Depends on the potency of the Fire, which will vary with the time and place of its fixation (when the HF is crystallized and fixed when the UR is reduced to earth). One must make up a mixt and heat it. If the flask explodes you had too much AE. Use less. IF the mixt evolves slowly add more next time. A sensitive could get an answer.

 

·                     It is possible that if the Green Lion is swirled after the AE is added, that an etheric Star will be seen on the surface in the right glinting light, perhaps at dawn. Perhaps swirling should be done at dawn and twilight when the 19.7 force has opened the Crack. That is the time to open the Green Lion by vertical swirling. 

 

·                     When the Star is seen (if at dawn this would explain the symbol of the Morning Star as Venus, or Lucifer the Light that can fall and be captured).

 

·                     Once the Star is seen, Delos has been born.

 

·                     Better yet, add pinch of salt, then swirl at dawn. If no star, then add another pinch. As long as the Green Lion will drink of the salt, there is no harm. 

 

·                     The salt opens the Green Lion by vertical swirling. The Green Lion drinks in the Rota that leaks thru the crack at dawn. When this is imprinted sufficiently on the Green Lion, then the womb of the Green Lion has been fertilized. 

Cosmic Journey

Some 9 years ago I sealed myself up in absolute darkness for 10 days. This is an yogic practice used all over the ancient world (sealing in caves, etc) which increases psychoactive chemicals in the brain (amritas) and the mind fills with light. After 4 days I began hearing a voice I could dialogue with. I asked a question; it answered. It informed me it was my future self, and that my future was flowing to me from the center of the galaxy, in packets of my consciousness in a Timeline, much as in Michael Hoffman's "frozen block" model (vide egodeath.com). The galaxy is the GWW, Galaxy Wide Web.

It showed me that the galaxy with its radiating spiral arms is a vast network of consciousness with a black hole at its center, which reaches into the supernal spiritual dimensions. Each galaxy is like a god, and we are cells that live and have our being within the body of this Great Logos. All of our life and consciousness flows to us down the arms of this great galactic Tree of Life. 

In fact if we are looking for a non-abstract referent for "Tree of Life" this would be it, or should I emphasize IT?  This is the body of OUR Logos.

This led me into a study of galaxies, etc, and the galactic alignment which is occurring now after 13,000 years. I was aware of the manvantaras and the Great Year; and that even Yogananda's teacher Yukteswar spoke of the "navel of Vishnu" which was the center of the stars. But in his day they did not know where this was anymore; galaxies had not yet been re-discovered. Today we know exactly.

Each galaxy is like a lotus floating in the great ocean of dark space. Vishnu is the great ocean that underlies. Brahma is the manifestation of Vishnu locally (from his navel) as a galaxy. Each navel (galactic center) is a black hole, as we now know. Thus Vishnu becomes manifest as Brahma. There are many Brahmas. Now an illustration like this makes more sense:

Brahma is born from the navel of Vishnu

The multi-headed serpent of Time Ananta represents the latent waveform patterns that "sleep" in the dark ocean of what is now called Zero Point energy.

Now knowing the time of alignment with the "navel" we could place the cycle change-over more accurately. I disagree with Yukteswar on the date, and feel that the alignment is the obvious physical marker that would trigger the end of Kali Yuga. After all, our seasons are well known to be triggered by the position of the earth to our local sun. This is a galactic seasonal change.

You can see from the above chart that this would put the beginning of Kali Yug at 400 BC, when we shifted from a shamanic mythos based culture into objectifying and mentalizing, the beginning of "philosophy" based on words rather than the wordless direct shamanic experience of the the inner worlds of soul "cyberspace." There was an outpouring of great souls then, such also as Lao Tze, Confucius, some being the wisdom of the previous Age, such as Lao Tze and Parmenides, some being cross over agents with a foot in both such as Plato.

The ancients knew many things we have forgotten. For instance, they marked out clearly where the galactic center was. They marked it in the zodiac where the arrow of Sagittarius intersects the arrow of the tail of the Scorpion. These are the only two zodiacal signs that have arrows in them:

And this leads me to the realization I had about the galaxy being the body of our local God, not just a collection of dust and star matter. The depiction of the Vedic gods as being multi-armed was thus based upon the actual shape of the body of the god, our galaxy. Here is my rendition:

In shamanic practice it often happens that the shaman "navigator" is dismembered in the inner world Journey, and then put back together. Higher Intelligence will upgrade our understanding but you most likely will have to undergo psychic surgery to get out the cankers and clogging sediment from your world model.

Spacey Mother

The common convention about the workings of X is that it increases the serotonin in the receptors, elevating the mood. The nerve pathway that is predominantly affected by ecstasy is called the serotonin pathway. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is synthesized, stored, and released by specific neurons in this pathway, and it is involved in the regulation of several processes within the brain, including mood, emotions, aggression, sleep, appetite, anxiety, memory, and perceptions. 

But Dr. David E. Nichols*, now retired professor chemist at Purdue University, ( the only man the DEA allowed to manufacture X, psilocybin, acid, etc. for medical studies) states in his interviews that it is far more complex, hitting the serotonergic circuits, dopamine, cholinergic, etc. In fact he tried many times to make an analogue compound which would have the same effect but be chemically different, so they could be legal, but he couldn't do it at all. 

X has a profound opening of the Heart Center effect, and this is why it has been so successful in therapy inasmuch as the person can enter dark chambers of the psyche without fear, and with acceptance. Biologically the Vagus nerve connects the cerebellum to the heart, and then down to the solar plexus and finally the base of spine; esoterically this is said to be the channel for the descent of the Holy Spirit. My inner understanding from working with this information is that it is true, and that it opens the Root Heart, not just the regular heart.The Root Heart is the navel of the pneumatic ovum, the Seed from which polarity expands into the field.

If the Field we develop in is likened to a circle, then the Root Heart is the dot in the center, which is the portal back into Zero Point or Light Mind Mother undifferentiated. Vitvan would say that is the positive power activating the negative. (How I have come to dislike those terms! So sterile!)
 
Biologically you may know that the heart's field is 5000x more powerful than the brain's. The activation of this Root center entrains us to Mother Light Mind pregnant with baby-Christ-love.
It is as if the space between the particles (positive imprinting and form pattern determination) is increased, OR, we now notice our underlying root in this space of Mother Light ("with all your getting, get to stand-under") and the Light-Mind-Love of It teaches us directly, non-verbally by becoming aware of our immersion and that we are THAT.

THIS is THE Teacher, gnosis, that we are the Light made flesh.

I recommend doing Holosync** with the supplements. When the left brain/right brain hemispheres merge into feel-know-thinking, and this awareness is taken into the Sanctum of the Root Heart, the serpent bites Its own tail as consciousness is nourished by assimilating Itself. Ask a question get an answer. Ask to be shown what needs to be shown, and then see...

After a course of that, the addition of other amplifiers open up a world of knowing oneself as the I AM. So odd to see this, and then return to a small world of fretting over who is right or wrong, what to do, etc, when one just saw directly that Everything is just where It is supposed to be!

Bringing It down and making It stick; building the Bridge. This is where the Real Work begins as I see it. You didn't know the cleanup process could ever keep on going for so long yet what else is there to do but dig in???

* David E. Nichols is an Amercan pharmacologist and medicinal chemist. Previously the Robert C. and Charlotte P. Anderson Distinguished Chair in Pharmacology at Purdue University, Nichols has worked in the field of psychoactive drugs since 1969. While still a graduate student, he patented the method that is used to make the optical isomers of hallucinogenic amphetamines. His contributions include the synthesis and reporting of  escaline and the coining of the term "entactogen." He is the founding president of the Heffter Research Institute, named after German chemist and pharmacologist Arthur Heffter, who first discovered that mescaline was the active component in the peyote cactus. In 2004 he was named the Irwin H. Page Lecturer by the International Serotonin Club, and delivered an address in Portugal titled, "35 Years Studying Psychedelics: What a long strange trip it's been." Among pharmacologists, he is considered to be one of the world's top experts on psychedelics.

Lincoln and Vitvan

Watched the movie Lincoln and it is very good, certainly recommended to fire your spirit, stiffen your resolve that good things can happen, but it is messy and on the edge. Expect an ongoing fight, and little thanks after. But it IS for certain we fight for Principle higher than whatever it is that binds the dinosaur normals in their rigidity. The Light gutters in their penumbrae, and Freedom cowers like a mouse of conformity.

So what we do, we do for the Vitvan in each of us, for the future and those who will come after. The Home Farmers have given up and have nothing to offer that inspires any longer.

The very issues that wrack us today were on the table in Lincoln's day. Two parties, both arguing that their viewpoint was valid. But were they right then, and are they today?

Marj argues that “rebels” threaten the Republic and she must cast them out. But her argument boils down to the Southern one: we have the right to protect our way of life, which translates out in action to “MY Home Farm” as defined by Marj, while she continues to look backwards into the rear view mirror.

In Lincoln’s day the rebels seceded; in ours, we were kicked out of the Republic...

Is it just as simple as two ways of life or two viewpoints in opposition, or is one of a more noble nature than the other? I would say that in “our” vision of Home Farm, we are inclusive; we have room for their “way of life.” Susan is welcome to putter in the garden and have conniption fits over dust bunnies; Jane can continue to polish her collection from the Gingham Bear shop and re-arrange the furniture. Pat can do his minimal amount and then go hide out. Marj can swat commas and persecute capital letters until the cows come home! They do fine work on the lowest level -- preserving the physical infrastructure.

But how about in the more subtle yet most essential levels, that of the Inner School of expanding spiritual growth and providing value to students?

Their version is exclusionary: those whose chosen Path upsets them, or embarrasses them in front of the opinion of their neighbors must be removed from the sterilized euthanized landscape. In defense of preserving their way of life, they do not shrink from attacking the God given rights of others, harming them economically, and breaking up families.

Lincoln did not have to want to embrace black people and had his reservations, but he was willing to grow and accept; and he never thought they were less than full humans with basic rights to the pursuit of happiness. He believed in fair treatment for all which means the Rule of Law; but life is not so simple. In order to preserve that historical wedge of Freedom and to Hold the Vision that it might come more fully to earth, he had to break the laws of his day. People can argue eternally whether he damaged the developing stream of law in history, but I say his argument was based on a nobler vision: that NO ONE is property subject to another, and any law that protected that insular view was by its nature inferior.

It is clear that Vitvan stands squarely with Lincoln in fighting for the historical movement towards Freedom for all to individuate according to the blueprint laid in each heart by God and Nature. He stood for a Home Farm and SNO “of the people, by the people, and for the people,” not just for a select group who impose their blindered will upon the student body.

It is clear who the real rebels and destroyers of the Union are, who hide behind self-serving rhetoric and justifications, but when the day is over, they are exposed as those who feel that they are "higher" than others. Like plans to ship black people away from America, these fake Vitvanistas like Pat Murray will come to your door and say, “You are a good student; but you must go elsewhere; we do not feel you fit in here [i.e., in “our” Home Farm].”

Even Vitvan admitted he did not like everyone who managed to settle in at Home Farm, but if the Field brought them there, he accepted it, for he believed there was a Union to strive for. Then as now, there are many who wring their hands, sit on the sidelines, and wish we could live in a world of pretense where all is fair, and that it is enough for them to hold this vision in their private worlds, or hang pretty prayer flags out, but who shrink from ever confronting those who would harm others in the presence of the entire community.

History and each one’s Higher Self will be the judge of who stood up for the Rights of All, and those who only gave lip service.

Harness Your Emotions

The idea is that our emotions are like animals, pure in their force.

Say we feel angry. That is a pure force, natural in the cosmos. Or think of it as say, a growling wolf... and why is the wolf growling? Some imaginary reason that should be "risen above?"  I don't think so.

It is simply force, energy. So we make friends with our inner wolf and harness it. We don't deny its energy but make constructive use of it.

Now we become a wonderful menagerie of NATURAL forces within, eagles that hunt with amplified vision, dray horses that work with powerful strength, elephants of endurance, cuddly bunnies, mammas of all kinds that protect their young, fierce devoted fathers that hold the space and territory against attackers, leechers, connivers.

This has the sense of shamans having totems or becoming animal spirits to draw on that strength.

Don't throw away any emotion, but use it, make it a friend, become Lord of the Beasts. If someone pisses in your water or threatens you with their game-playing (pun intended) intimidation:

Growl, show your fangs and always protect your cubs (your child within).

I AM woman! Hear me roar!

Prometheus Unbound

Here is a long LaRouchean article, worthy of the read:

http://larouchepac.com/node/19290

They have developed the thesis that Oligarchy has long been with us, treating humans as cattle, to be wiped out by wars, sexually abused, enslaved.  But growing over time was the ember of the URGE to be FREE and an individual of value to one’s own sake. Seditious and dangerous ideas floated around like that each one is made in the image of God, and thus could not be goyim or cattle. The Platonic school within Christianity kept developing this theme, but generally the old Oligarchs who infested the Church prevailed, keeping mankind dumb and down. Divide and conquer thru endless wars, religious wars, trade wars.

Periodic eruptions occurred: the Renaissance, Leibnitzian science to liberate souls and unleash the creative power (that aspect of being in the image of God) in each person. Bit by bit the movement toward Freedom gained ground, but always attacked by the oligarchs. Spiritual sciences were resisted and corrupted into materialistic sciences.

Music was developed as a strategem to open up passion in humans, energy of the heart and soul, and cultivate it into beauty rather than animal lust. People like Mozart and Beethoven were true Republicans, who used music to uplift humanity, and belonged to underground schools for Freedom, and supported that ember flaming up in America.

http://www.schillerinstitute.org/fid_91-96/fid_924_shavin.html

Central to their efforts was to tune their music to the Natural Order frequencies of unfolding cosmos, based on the 432 tuning for A. The militaristic oligarchs countered by retuning to a higher pitch which interferes with man’s native harmonic, thus squelching the creative URGE and kept man locked down into South Half lusts for sex, food, and territory. They use 444 even 460.

Many links to follow out:

http://www.schillerinstitute.org/music/rev_fid_list.html

And thus you can begin to see how deep the Vitvanian Stream to uplift, bring Freedom, and unleash creative energies to Beauty and the Good goes back. And the same oligarchs, or their robot minded sheep, continue to run religions and “schools” that oppress, enforce conformity, and throw water on the Fire that wants to blaze up in our hearts.

Come Out From Among Them

Michael Hoffman in his renewed posts on http://www.egodeath.com/
seems mostly focused in looking back over the arc of his life and his elucidation of the ego death maximal entheogen theory of history.

I think this is appropriate for any one who has reached deep self-reflectivity, to examine the history of his/her life and the ROLE played at that stage in the cosmic process. The one who examines is not the role played.

Likewise most of what Vitvan did was to try and reverse engineer what he had gone through, in HOPES his part in the Plan might provide guidance and some working tricks for other persons. He is the cosmic process discussing Itself at his, Vitvan's level. His fruiting was not done for us, but for ITs own purposes. We have to fruit on our own. But we are fed and driven by the same Mother's Light sap arising.

I think too much of what Vitvan ruminates over is not applicable to others at their levels. We must consider his works to be almost autobiographical, not a universal set of steps applicable to each. Here is where The School of the Natural Order (SNO) becomes dogma and an objectified worship of a "man" -- ironically a "man" who said we each have to become a clear channel for the cosmic process IN US.

So we can either abandon SNO saying we don't agree with Vitvan, or, we can follow Vitvan's logic, that each of us IS already the cosmic process, therefore a "vitvan" or "one who knows" is within each of us, and the more correct understanding of his stream is:

a. There was at one time an expression of the cosmic process called "Vitvan."
b. WE are also THAT. So we must each find "vitvan" in ourselves.

Therefore, we must clarify this stream to remove it from the worship of an objectified "Vitvan." In fact, objectification is the "Enemy" and anyone trying to "stop the Tao" and fix the Teachings in some historical mausoleum is violating the Stream, and Its very essence!

This might seem like hubris, heresy, and arrogance. To proclaim that you have found "vitvan" within yourself, and that you are a "vitvan" too, and that THIS finding is the very essence of the Teaching of "VITVAN," actually the collective "cloud" of Blessed Ones in whom we are integrated, and in fact, are leaves and fruit on the palengenetic trees within that same orchard...?

What Makes An SNO Student?

Many individuals affiliated with The School of the Natural Order claim to be "students of Vitvan," but like so many other labels and phrases currently in use by SNO, there is little agreement about what this actually means. So, we have a few questions which we believe will help create a better context and definition:

WHAT exactly is it you do to keep learning?

 

What specifically are you NOW studying? And if you are actually a Board member or Advisor, how can you advise a so-called “school” if you yourself are not in school? 

 

What classes and seminars are you attending, what books are you reading, which practices are you engaged in, what exactly is it you DO on some regular basis to maintain your student status?

 

When people retort that, “Life is my school” this is a cop out. Life delivers more blows than it does elevations. If someone replies, "My study is of myself, I meditate," then we ask: WHAT insights have you gained through this practice? Can you describe these insights or teach what you have learned to others? If not, then they are using meditation medicinally, to relieve stress, which we are not against at all, but they are not using it to further Self-awareness, breakthrough, or to be a student of themselves.

Vitvan once said, “How do you know you are on Mind Level?" Answer: "Because IT tells you so!”  We can relate that this happens all the time under the amplification provided by entheogens, and although it seems heretical to the fundamentalists who cannot believe breaking through to Mind Level can happen without lifetimes of drudgery, it is simply not so. Of course we also have to consider that this may only happen for those who have found the URGE emerging in them.

In fact, we no longer believe we are in charge of making anything happen along our Path. When you examine WHY you decided to do a practice whereas you wouldn’t before, it always comes down to “I just feel like it now” or “what else is there to do?”  And where does that urge come from? From the flowering of the I AM using this personality as a vehicle. When teaching ordinary humans, the teachers explain it to them as if “they,” the ego, could make some decision and thus make it happen. And so they act from within the viewpoint of a persona, saying, "I want to be a better persona, make a better ego." But the ego is an artifact of reflected consciousness within the embryonic egg sac that floats within the Field put forth by the Higher Self.

In time it seems, we become less interested in what egoic plans we had going before and find our attention being drawn into some kind of curiosity about what makes our persona tick, and we finally start out on this Journey of self-development and discovery. There is then no turning back.

This is what defines a true SNO Student.
