Incremental shadow healing

 On the psychological term referred to as the shadow

Integration allows the higher self to heal our shadow where it is traumatized. Integration also lifts it up where it has been falsely demonized by religion. Higher and lower nature integration makes a more sacred experience of life rather than a publicly acceptable version and the behind-closed-doors version. Schism is never a good thing. In their current presencing, the Abrahamic faiths have inversed reality. They referenced the erotic, which is just as much God as meditation is, and told us it was the devil. When we believed that (faith is the substance) we turned

...our holy spirit into an evil spirit, in that area of our lives. 

I believe that's how perversion came into the Earth. It's never too late to redeem it, to take this inversed reality and make it right. But it will take time because our brains were hardwired with this fear and superstition.

These things happen via the collective consciousness

In the biblical narrative, the collective consciousness of Israel first manifested king Saul before seeing the dysfunction in what they thought they wanted, and therefore brought forth David.  So it is today that for the extremely dedicated, we have collectively manifested a spiritual transfiguration that allowed us to live above our humanness.  In now seeing the dysfunction It produced in its pinnacle experience, we will now manifest a transfiguration that causes self-actualization, unique to each individual, and the glorious planet Earth will be unified through diversity.

Progress happens in increments

In John 1 we read "there was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He was not that light, but came to bear witness to the light that all men through him might believe."  There is a bearing witness to the age to come both personally and corporately, in our own "John the Baptist" phase. This is done when the light of metaphor turns old Dogma into a road to a new place. Scripture as metaphor is not that light, but comes to bear witness to the light, that we might believe in its initiation stage. To become that light is then the Jesus stage. But more on John the Baptist. John the Baptist does not believe in the very light it pointed to when that light manifests as the new place. John the Baptist introduced Jesus as the Messiah, but when in prison, John doubted him. When we are not dwelling in the new land, we bear witness in our spirit to what's coming but our cup is still so full from the old mindset that if we were to peek into what the new place will look like, we would likely denounce it even on the road there! John the Baptist must be beheaded as we see in the narrative, before the Messiah in us can fully save us from the old age.

In similar fashion, even the road of metaphor cannot be discerned by our previous state in dogma and tradition. Again I will derive meaning from the biblical narrative. John the Baptist's dad was an anointed priest of Judaism, and his mother prophesied by the Holy Spirit.  His dad Zacharias received an angel visitation concerning the great ministry of his son John. As he grew into maturity, instead of inheriting the priesthood to fulfill the promises, bizarrely he leaves the priesthood to become a rogue minister out near the qumran close to the sect known as the Essenes.  His father's closest friends, who probably helped raise him, found him unrecognizable in what he had become. So much so, that when they went to talk to him during his ministry years, they literally asked him "who are you?"

In our John the Baptist personal phase, the road of metaphor where past scriptural standards have become a life reality, our perception of those scriptures is now that of pure spirit, rather than a guide.  We can be unrecognizable to ourselves, and in that disorientation of twilight between two distinct places, feel a little disillusioned. We have to remember that just like it took a long time to bear the fruit of the spirit of dogma, it will take time to bear the fruit of the spirit of grace, and more time to bear the fruit of the spirit of the universality of God and the unity created through diversity. From babe to juvenile to adolescent, it should not be in one form of stiffened maturity in pretense, as we see in John 5:37, but in a different form/shape.  

Another allegory...the scripture says that Moses and those with him on the mountain "saw the God of Israel, and did eat and drink."  Yet the writer of John's gospel said "no man has seen God at any time."  While in the Moses personal phase, we see the god of the sect by becoming the logos of the sect made flesh. As Kathryn Kuhlman said, it takes everything to become this. It takes 100% dedication, but it pays off down the road when the logos or the doctrine and teaching of your sect and the authentic person that you are, find no difference between each other. This is seeing "that God" face to face, yet we have not seen God at all in the phase that's yet to come.  

In the past we were seeing that perception of God with the eyes of the purified heart. The heart had been purified in its new nature via the ways of the Christian denomination (which of course was at odds with the other Christian denominations).  That does not mean it was virtuous in the eyes of the Creator, but it is virtuous at least in the eyes of the leadership of that church. When we leave our Moses phase, thanking our leadership for having given us some kind of structure whether it was healthy or not, so now to be autonomous with the critical mass developed, we can leave the Moses phase for the Jesus phase to eventually see the god of that phase face to face. On and on it goes, spiraling in every direction, incrementally as expanded consciousness.

The national version and comment on Jesus' statement about the cleansing that allows seven demons more wicked to re-enter:

Perceptions are energies, and as the new thing drives out the old, the old identification points, the old perceptions or "forms" will put up a fight first before they are "driven out" (the energy is transformed). 

I don't see them as evil spirits, I see them as identification points that don't want the personal familiarity and reality to change. It can happen for an atheist becoming a Christian or vice versa. It can happen for a Christian becoming a Universalist, where the specific identification points as Jesus energies, are driven out (transformed, upgraded, made whole rather than personal fragmentation by the religion).  From secular to Christianity in some cases is a good thing, same with Christianity to Universalism.

As far as seven spirits more wicked than itself. Seven represents completion or perfection. In the initial deliverance we only see a fragment of the issue. But when we see it in its fullness it looks far worse but not because 7 external demons came into you, but because we see it in its fullness and that's the full deliverance.  Know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. So what Jesus was describing "in part," I don't believe he had the full understanding of, but I think today we can see the next level of that metaphor. John on Patmos saw a beast with a mortal wound and still lived. From MLK to Obama, certain demonic energies were driven out of the USA.  Through Trumpism seven spirits worse than the original came back. Yet here we are rising up for the full perception! With full perception is full transformation.

As far as leaving Christianity for a new religion, instead of going sideways to the selfsame formula which is the spirit over soul geometry, it's better to go forward into the age of Aquarius, the actualization of the whole man. People still in Pisces will think that spirit over soul geometry means that in the age of Aquarius we will operate from a head space without emotion. That interpretation is simply Pisces on steroids, and certainly that will not be the case.  

In the past because of the internal hierarchy, as spiritual practitioners, God was the glory and we were the receivers. But with spirit-soul equality, we experience being that glory realm that comes into the room where spiritual practitioners are absorbing our words. Instead of trusting that the God of the upper worlds helps your friends, you experience your own Spirit and essence interacting with them. Likewise we will also learn and receive from others.

"Everyone carries a shadow," Jung wrote, "and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is."
