The challenge of our time is to be aware , to stay open, real, to question the self constantly and to discover your own shadows and unconscious behaviours in everything. It is not asking us to stay positive, it is not asking us to ignore .. but to be aware and in an inner process of what is happening . This time like all destructive times in history is asking us to be present , it is asking us TO CHANGE, this is the common message that we do not seem to be getting in this .. this whole collective process is asking something from all of us. So it really is time to ask :
‘What is this time asking of me ?
What do I need to change?
What am I not seeing about myself?’
I am more that 100 % percent sure that you are being shown right now, maybe you are aware of that or perhaps you are yet to hit it. When we keep avoiding we are often hit with problems in our life, difficult situations , physical issues or even health issues. They are all trying to show us something… but what? This time in our history is trying to show us ALL something.
The more my spiritual and psychological work collide , I really am understanding more certain behaviours in my own self that are reflected back at me , I do at times try to remain positive in hard times, I do at times try to ignore the situation, you see whatever you see is always trying to show you where you do it…that’s how the unconscious works. We all like to believe in the spiritual or even not in the spiritual world that we are conscious, but that’s far from the truth , embarking on my yearlong Jung individuation psychological process and working one to one weekly with an analyst has allowed me to see how little is actually conscious. Its psychological fact that we have actually very little conscious awareness, we are mostly operating from the unconscious mind.
I was completely triggered this week seeing posts from people who are saying ‘Stay positive’ and of course this really was a indication to do some deeper work inside my own self… I pondered on my own positiveness and found that this survival technique comes from being in a very privileged place. It would be pretty hard to be positive if for example I had a loved one who died from the Rona, had vaccine injuries or worse died from it. If life was destitute because I had been financially broke by the current times, or say if I lived in the Yemen right now! Speaking of such things always comes from a view point and its discovering these view points in others that I understand why they would write or proclaim such things and then I am able to look for that within myself. So why are others positive ? because they are avoiding/bypassing the truth? Because they are privilege and their life allows that? Because they want to sell their spiritual programmes? I get to see where it comes from and then I can also identify it within myself, this really is the deeper work when you are ready to look at yourself rather than others.
I know that when the holocaust was happening that there was a probably people who were not Jewish being ‘positive’ about the situation, also the same with slavery , those who were not slaves were probably able to stay ‘positive’! I am not speaking of human spirit here that keeps people alive and makes them survive in horrific circumstances, I am speaking of a privilege persons view point who is ‘outside’ of the turmoil or in avoidance of it. This time is really, really asking us to look into our view point:
Where is it coming from, why do I hold this?
What position do I hold to be able to say that, would it be different if I was in different shoes?
What are my shadow aspects in this viewpoint?
How do I react if someone disagrees with it? What do I defend and why?
This is what this time is asking us to do. I see the danger of doing work on yourself with no outside agency poking your beliefs or questioning your rhetoric , because the ego can have a great big party ! the unconscious mind from where most of you springs goes un noticed, uncensored and creates a whole lot of wounded beliefs and you believe your own projections!
I know , this is the painful pointing out , poking process ive been undergoing and boy is it making me see differently. Be wary of those who spout out from wounds and don’t question their own beliefs, who get super defensive or angry when challenged…. It’s a sign of the ego, the shadow, the unchartered journey they haven’t taken into themselves, yet are asking you to belive it.
The challenge of our time is to like I have said before QUESTION EVERYTHING … but MOSTLY YOURSELF!
