For those that have felt the shadows depth they Know, for certain, that spiritual warfare is a real thing. Those who haven’t will probably shake their heads and suggest one needs to check the wrapping on their tinfoil turban and possibly get some meds. Here is why there is such a division:
Not everyone is invited to play in the shadows.
Each Soul has a mission when they step in. This is ordained by your Higher Self hence the “Starring, written and directed by me” mindset. Basically it is akin to initiation that bears a lot of resonance with the fabled test of graduation that real Ninjas underwent, back when:
You would be taught the darkest arts and fully trained to play your part. This was not a simple “one and done” kind of deal as you reincarnated into the same tribes again and again whilst honing your skills. The missing link that most don’t click is that of Shugendō. It is to Ninjitsu as Bonn is to Buddhism in the sense that the former was already a living Shamanistic tradition but didn’t gain its structure and overall mission until the latter stepped in. A clearer way of seeing this is the distinction between letter and spirit or theory and execution. The deeper meaning is there was a way, a change then synthesis. Shamans long ago learned the secrets of the three realms and thus the concept of creating what death couldn’t end in order to beget a living tradition as an immortal was lock and key for the other bit as there is no point having spiritual power, immense, then looking on at a world that was a mess. Obviously not all Ninjas were versed in this aspect as they were selected for certain roles they then chose to excel in. From this the master may pick an adept for further initiation and then this went up the chain depending on his acumen.
Now, one thing that was common was the Godan Test in which the adept, before graduating, had to develop the ability to sense intent and threats with eyes closed and from behind him. Some sources state there were no written records of this until it gained a latter day resurgence and that is primarily because it was a mouth to ear tradition in which there was way more than this as the intent was to develop blindsight or, as Chinese parallel, Wei Qi which is guardian energy. The idea is that before anything can manifest in the physical realm there is a swing in the subtle planes which the adept must sense as this becomes the guidance that means the difference between life and death. In the Godan Test it was literal as the adept sat, kneeling, with a blindfold on his head whilst his master slowly crept up behind him with sword in grip and intent to behead. As you can probably guess there were no second chances in this as it was either a pass or death. I’m sure the astute reader sees where reincarnation steps in and why the training would commence from the moment they stepped in to the skin again via things as obtuse as sensory deprivation down to the more practical like noting terrain and estimating distance. Most of this was presented as play for that is the childs forte and forms a solid bridge to the non-phys via way of imagination which, as any practical magickian will tell, is the key to everything. Now thats out of the way lets bring something ancient to modern times with:
Just because we developed tech and electric to extend the senses doesn’t mean the old methods are dead. If anything they are more intense because there are less tapped in ergo the bandwidth is immense. So is the potential for madness which explains, really well, what schizophrenia truly is and why so many modern masters flipped their lids via either Chi deviation or straight up possession. Shades of Star Wars, yes? What if I said those events in the flick were based not on the imagination of Hollywoods spells but on the real life events on another continent, way back when? If you screeched for evidence and peer reviewed credence all I can say is read the Vedic scripts and draw you own parallels as the links are obvious… This land, to this day, is filled with people who can do some pretty strange things like asking a stranger to dip their hands in a bowl of rice from which the reader tells them everything about where they’ve been and what comes next. I mean, have you ever considered why the modern world thinks India’s contribution overall is a big fat nothing when it comes to all of this? Because its true. They invented zero as a concept. Ponder the depth of the sketch and then look into the true origins of chess and you’ll see a common military thread and cross pollination as Ninjas used mudras (hand seals) and spirituality as a weapon as per Naga Sadhus as well. The entire concept of spiritual wars is documented in texts such as the Arthashastra and Atharvaveda as well as the more practical elements that strongly suggest that, at present, the wars of the heavens now rage in the hearts and minds of men aka the Kali Yuga effect. All of that said:
Seeing spiritual warfare as an initiation process is supremely empowering and it matches exactly with what I’ve lived as I don’t merely speak these lyrics but bear witness to the events. Above all of this, then and now, there is the Higher Self or OverSoul. It can be looked at (and seen) as a octopus type thing of intense illumination from which drip the tendrils of each incarnation. This is what the Shaman mastered and its linked to pretty much every single native tradition ranging from the Indian Lokas to Aborigine Songlines as well as the Land of Souls as per Ho-Chunk mythos. In each the initiate risked death and the process turned boys to men with events akin to taking the tainted cloth of childhood with its past life karmas and trauma imprints then steam cleaning them before a swift press so they’re totally fresh and ready for what lies ahead. Net result? A populace that was spiritually linked in, aware of their gifts, heritage and, crucially, mission in this realm ergo much less conflict. Not that it wasn’t needed but you did what you were equipped and the Ninja spent lifetimes going around the wheel doing his dharma until time for liberation.
In the modern age all of this has been waylaid as tales, primitive, but I can offer you a simple test that may just change everything:
Go into a forest, dense, and walk through till you find a tree that is quite thick. You should be able to press your torso into its trunk then hold it with your arms and legs so you’re totally suspended. Keep doing this on the reg and then something very interesting will happen. I recollect, from a past spin, when my guide asked me, as a curious jit, to place my mind into one tree then another. I detailed those things in this text and thus you’ll see what I mean and why I type like this as you can do the same thing with your seeds to question how they access info from beyond this realm – aka the true Innernet – and how school severs this link for the square watermelon effect. Now, some people are totally oblivious to all of this and that is because their energetics are, shall we say, materially oriented. There are others who are more attuned but they also run the risk of depression or being highly sensitive as well as the good old fashioned schiz. A lot of people who becomes singers or have immense talents are of this ilk and may, unconsciously, weave their gnosis into what they present. Van Gogh was a perfect example as his Moon in Scorpio links mind with the 8th house which is a portal to beyond this realm hence why the whirls and swirls he draw were recently confirmed as existing underneath the visual bandwidth reality presents. That is guardian energy or seeing the unseen but used in a different way.
Astrology is the key to decoding reality but not in the modern airy fairy way it was, back when, the biggest secret of initiates and can be seen, at present, with the common fascination with celebs which attempts to elevate mere humans to the level of a cosmic process but even this follows a rhythm hence the axiom of “As above, so below” in full effect. Knowing this and decoding your own blueprint generates immense strength as you meet your weaknesses, see shadow aspects and clear karmas as well. This is what the ancient cultures knew well as they had a living tradition in which the Shaman decided who got married and when (in case of energetic balance) as well as doling out herbs and solutions as this team was his terrain and he would navigate by leading the way from subtle to gross elements. As you can tell all of that is missing but recollect how people followed their GPS off a cliff and you’ll see the design is still etched within and its also used, really well, as the basis of Fascism. A quick quip is how, in your flesh, there are fasical networks of tension that hold within all you have suppressed and repressed to create the (false) self with its voice in head effect that keeps hid, really well, that you aren’t the one jabbering but that which listens. This is the luminous extension from the numinous octopus and the victim of spiritual warfare, on realization, flips the script to victor instead as the start is identical but ends quite different.
This development is arrested in the modern age as adepts are waylaid from their true links and with it their Soul purpose as well which can be seen, really well, in celebs who get everything but feel empty as hell along with regular folk who walk away from everything and do something fresh because they hear the call and listen. When this intention of tension first came to this realm the ancients were well aware of its all encompassing presence and thus created all types of rituals to strengthen their links as well as the immense stone edifices that are dotted around the planet with curiously celestial links. The more you Know, eh? Anyway, the meta I use is that of coal to diamond. If no one else has felt the pressure or shift its easy to see how they may think you’re off you’re head as they see the world through a lens that is black, dense and soft as hell. Thing is it has common resonance and mass acceptance ergo that which is still within but clear, hard and presents a jagged edge of higher consciousness is totally invisible to them and they cannot sync in. The Shaman would refine this stone to strip away the excess and this may or may not be an immensely oblique yet direct ref to the Diamond Body of immortals that is reffed in Buddhists texts as the goal to attain above all. Like I said, nothing changed but a once global tradition fragmented into many elements that were either co-opted, diluted or brutally suppressed. The Wests material ascent with plenty of gunpowder on deck was instrumental in this but its equally telling how the ones on the thrones, in private, used said methods. Just look into the original secret agent to spot the overlap.
Now, when you come face to faceless with the numinous in this realm it is akin to being dragged, kicking and screaming, from Platos Cave of comfortable ignorance. From shadows and flame to seeing the searing Sun blazing overhead is one heck of a difference but it was all ordained by ones Higher Self as this reforges the link between present moment incarnation and subtler aspects with their Knowledge within. The forces at the helm, at present, are the origins of the Trickster myth ergo the path they present is crooked as hell and paved with thorns as well but if you can grasp this tenet then you click you are the protagonist and its all happening in ordinance with a larger script. Some may see this as coping mech and, for them, it may be just this but I’ve lived what I share and thus its most accurate as without this gnosis I’d either be outsane or dead before waiting to get back in to the flesh again and do the dance which leads to the ultimate liberation. This is why some lives are hard and babies are scarred before they have even taken a step as the pain glows like a beacon that contains an immense amount of strength wrapped in papers of fear and dread. Claim not and your Opponent will (aka the machine elves) and you’ll be left wandering in the forest of illusion looking for an island filled with lesbians.
These are Soul level lessons and it is akin to what Richard Pryor said about J-Bo getting a triple life sentence which can only manifest as living, meeting death, coming back then being moved from the cradle straight to the pen with a “You know what you did, get your little ass in there!” yell. Truth in jest as he too lived his lyrics with a life most intense. Once again, 8th house in full effect with Mercury, Venus and Mars in Libra which means he was struggling to balance his mind, women and destructive impulses. Once you can read the stars it is akin to seeing the code of the Matrix, my friend. Then things make way more sense about this hologram we project and why I said you’re the only Soul in this realm as you can run, pick up sticks, move to a new town and still end up in the same script with others playing the roles as there is way more to all of this. The vast majority, presently, are not attuned to this but 8% are and they will hear me on FM as, before this, it was akin to being born into the village of blind with a working third eye and thus seeing what others miss.
Hopefully this addresses the reason why so many people with intense spiritual potential find their life is a total mess as its a very empowering mindset that shows you were not born to be a regular coal or square watermelon but are actually a Soul on a mission that is built on skills from old spins hence why they may find they escape the blade with head intact for graduation on this spin and what was once seen as a foe with dread is revealed as a teacher instead that your Higher Self placed into position as a manifestation of its will to fuel your ascent and reconnection with the all of everything of whom you are an aspect wearing flesh but, mostly, invested in an illusion that rewards confusion via collusion in accepting the ridiculous via a strictly limited material aspect which is why your parents sent you off for two decades of legally mandated “Sit still, look ahead” when the ancient methods were way different as life itself was a learning process. For evidence look how disconnected we are from natures thread and tell me what happens when you’ve clung to the tree for a bit and felt its wisdom and resonance permeate your presence because they are the terrestrial counterpoint of the stars I mentioned as they contain the datasets of what kicks on the planet. This, once again, is a very common thread ranging from Shinto traditions to the whole Vedic reference of going to the forests to learn as well ancient Druids, Norse and Africans which, to this day, survives as the Santa myth whose reindeer and sleigh flights came from those long dark nights of the Soul experienced by Shamans who tripped on the shrooms that were sniffed out by animals along with things like psychoactive barks packed with three day length hallucinogens that act as a reset switch for all types of anxiety, stress and addictions via a trip which relinks the present moment to the eternal resonance as its all one thing – itself “no thing” – that is everything ergo the invention of zero was a huge revelation that ties together all of this and offers hints about why Bloods, Crips, boxers and politicians all fight over blue and red whilst spiritual adepts, worldwide, ref a golden circle around head as the living testament of a link beyond this realm…
Much like the Godan Test I mentioned at the head it is a walk into the darkest aspects where only he who successfully faces death realizes its an illusion to transcend but, after this, wood is still chopped and water carried as well for one came to the flesh for what it brings along with the true business of living which is, to me, Self realization. Seeing with the third and first mind (in the gut) can make one seem like a nut with a screw loose in a world whose past, present and future is tense but it also explains, really well, why back pain is a medical mystery and Reich was written out of the official story, expeditiously, as he made the link between inner and outer realms aka the Pane Body effect of a coal that has not yet clicked its diamond bright resonance. To those who have lived and created the Path they make by taking steps:
Each thing you have survived is proof and testament of all I said. Events that would have ended the lesser only revealed your true strength whilst aligning your resonance so know you are protected, hear the Psylense within and it will guide your actions, impeccable. You were born with all the gifts you need to be who you are supposed to manifest in this realm – the hardest level – ergo its all for the win so the war is not between you and anything out there but what dwells within the shadows depth of accepted ignorance. This is the key to trance ending the predator of consciousness.
Till we meet again
