Nighttime on the Emperor’s Road – Part 1/2

(Before It's News)

Self-Inquiry: Cha’an China

When we think of leaving all traces of Third Dimensionality behind, we find that three aspects of ourselves naturally act as a contrarium to the spiritual awakening we seek.

A contrarium is something that opposes or prevents something else.

This contrarium consists of our carbon-based body, its thoughts and its feelings. Please let me elaborate if you would.

The Carbon Body

The carbon-based body is a contrarium insofar as it’s a non-conductor of the finer sentiments in life, that would uplift us and guide us. The carbon body is like India rubber compared to the etheric body, which is like the down of a feather.

Rather than passing our more delicate feelings along, it slows them down and gives them mass. To feel a higher sentiment in the body is like walking through molasses.

Such is the body’s density that simply by virtue of entering it, we lose access to the greatest part of the knowledge we have within us.

Added to that, we make our bodies denser by unworkable ways of living, thinking and feeling that create muscular tension in the body. These bands of tension restrict our awareness and memory.

As tension goes up, awareness goes down. The more tension we hold in our bodies, the more our awareness decreases.

You’d think, in light of this, we’d make relaxation a necessity, a valued commodity, rather than a luxury in our society. Yet our society doesn’t emphasize it.

Self-Inquiry: Contemporary Enlightenment Intensive, White Rock, B.C.

The body makes any attempt at staying silent and still difficult at best. It demands that we eat, sleep, and see to its comfort. It keeps us focused on it at some level a good part of the day.

The body’s fears are held at cellular level as tension, a kind of living rigor mortis.

Chief among its fears is the fear that it won’t survive. Viewed through lower-dimensional lenses, the kind we’re leaving behind, the body’s survival is usually a concern. We spend much of our time planning and carrying out actions bent on ensuring its survival, a hapless task.

Meanwhile our survival as the being inside the body was never at issue.

So much of that fear is not situationally-related (the tiger is right there in front of you), but memory-related (a tiger passed through our village, oh, in 1960. I actually saw it).

Little of what we fear is right out there in front of us. If anything, the clearing we’re doing is a healing of the mind, an exorcizing of ghosts, and a general calming down.

Nonetheless, those memory-related or remembered fears have the power to undo our courage and confidence and make us “play it safe.”

Our body’s resistance to the free flow of thought and emotion makes our learning in the physical body small and slow. I once heard a discussion of how much karmic progress we make in a normal lifetime (not this one) and it was unimpressive.

We need to learn how to work with a body that can present such an obstacle to spiritual awakening if we want to emerge from its contrary impact.

Our Thoughts

Inside that body is a mind. Or is it the reverse?

The body acts on the mind and the mind acts on the body

The mind operates on the basis of the truth as it believes it to be. In actual terms, it acts on its beliefs, not on certain knowledge, often not even on experiential knowledge. Most often it works on intellectual knowledge, which we commonly call “beliefs.”

Most of what we believe to be true, as Archangel Michael told Kathleen, is illusion:

“The human collective, the people of old Earth, have built up many, many false illusions, many paradigms that became so strong in their belief systems that they formulated into structures and institutions, practices and societies around them.

“These illusions are familiar to you, such as lack, limitation, death, destruction, disease, greed, lust, control, and power.” (1)

This body is created on the basis of those illusory beliefs, run on them, and transmuted by them, erroneous or not.

I find it very powerful to get that something invisible, something without weight, something that cannot be proven, and something that can be wrong can have the power to do almost anything to this body – have it starve itself in the name of service, run it into the ground, or spur it on to the Valley of the shadow of death.

Has anyone ever seen a belief? Heard one? Touched one? Does it have weight? Is it here now?

And yet something as intangible as that decides the fate of something as tangible as this body. When I really get that, my beliefs become real to me.

Our beliefs are part of the contrarium that opposes our spiritual awakening. No belief, on the very face of things, can be so wide as to take in the nature and essence of life. Its real nature and essence exists outside the mind, prior to it, uncreated by it, etc.
