The Marriage of Light and Dark
The sovereign is the "causal origin point" to the
precipitation and perception of their life and experience. Thus if we are
engaging in what appears to be outside negativity or something or someone is
triggering us, then the first step to realizing our causal nature is to ask
what lessons are we investing our time in this experience for. As children we
have less perspective, skills and capacity to deal with negative circumstances,
but as we develop we evolve to the point of total responsibility for the
optimization of our experience. If we cannot course correct and shift a
situation towards that which is at least palatable to us (and others) then
exiting the scenario is preferable than being poisoned by intractable conditions.
That is, we stay with stressors only for as long as they challenge us to grow
through inquiry, insight and strategy. Challenges give us an opportunity to
grow stronger and as our strength grows, we can take on bigger challenges. Thus
the darkside, shadow, negativity, difficulty and triggers must evolve over the
course of our lives, or else it is obvious that we are in stasis and are just
coasting through life without any peripheral or focal vision of where or who we
are.
How we CAUSE our self-world can be readily observed in how
we do NOT CAUSE our self-world...giving us the illusion of the world living us,
instead of us living the world. We fail to get past stuffy recycling,
composting, and rebounding effects until we actually put the loaded paint brush
to the canvas and paint. That is our life is not doing us, we are doing our
life, even if we have chosen or abdicated to not be an active participant.
CHOOSING to be an active participant is the first baby step beyond being a
victim of circumstance and asleep at wheel. Individuation is simply becoming
who you ARE rather than a commodified resource unit for yourself and others to
exploit. Thrival is not achieved through becoming a cog in a machine. True
abundance is achieved by the development and expression of our genius and
taking up our soul profession. Our real growth and influence is measured by our
treatment of our Self. Our only real growth comes from Self-will-power.
The creative process involves questioning, insight, thought,
prioritization, action, execution, and creating with intention and purpose. If
we have not taken up the conscious cause of our own existence and realized that
we are the CAUSE our self-world then we are still living in the hindbrain in
conscious or unconscious fear. And in fear we are always a slave to
happenstance rather than the master of our own destiny. If your spaceship is
vulnerable to the forces of chaos, inertia, decay, delirium, delinquency and
attack—then you need to up your shields, boot your core, clean your windows,
raise your sails, find your coordinates and commit to your course.
Competition, whether one is top dog or bottom dog is still
slave psychosis for it is a fight/flight with other for one's survival. The
hindbrain has limited choices associated with animal programming hence it is
reactive not creative. It lacks the frontal cortex’s ability to control
behavior, plan, reason, conduct higher-level thinking and connect what we know
about the world to how we behave. The ability to transcend or disembed from the
hindbrain is achieved through the equanimity of gratitude. Thus appreciation, apprehension
(understanding), and the capacity to be cellularly grateful for the play of
light and dark allows us to develop the neurological aptitude for Fair
Witnessing.
If we fall into reactive attraction and aversion we are
slave to the phenomenal world and our knee-jerk responses to others. However as
we build up the Presence in the Uraeus we develop the dexterity to deal with
dualities and paradoxes, ambiguities, manage polarities and hold multiple
perspectives without breaking down under the strain of disindentification. By
focusing the mind’s eye at the Uraeus (2-3 inches in front of the hairline on
the forehead) in meditation we amplify the ability to progressively process
more abstract knowledge.
The frontal cortex is organized in a front-to-back systems
hierarchy, with abstract decisions about action taking place in the front of
the frontal lobe, while the back portion controls the capacity for concrete
decisions. Damage or latency to the front area of the frontal lobe affects the proficiency for more
abstract decisions of higher (decision-making) but left intact the competency for more
concrete decisions and lower functions. Thus the kind of creative decision
making that is aligned with higher purpose and one’s authentic nature is
transcendent of the lower automatic push-pull nature of the enslaved mind, the
Hindbrain or the Borg.
If the higher mind is not utilized, exercised and
experienced then we automatically default to the more concrete old-brain
consciousness and mechanisms, leaving vast dimensions of ourselves untapped.
The noble, royal, sovereign being of self-dominion is FREEDOM…the physical
embodiment of freedom, and with that comes all the positive qualities of our
higher humanity, such as empathy, care, compassion, intuition, genius, vision,
foresight, psi, enthusiasum, courage, flexibility, expansiveness, faith,
good-will, optimism, responsibility, self-reliance, independence etc…

Freedom is required for initiation and growth into the
anterior part of the frontal cortex thus our social and cultural environment
necessitates a certain amount of human liberation in order to utilize the
hardware and software for our deepest spiritual HUman capacities. Since we cannot
rely on the outside world to provide us with the ideal conditions for our own
evolution, we must actively engage in the practices, circumstances and
experiences that open the gates to our higher multidimensional being. The world
IS ever new, but the more we hang back in the old concrete formal operations
areas of our brain, the more stuffy, tired and familiar our decision making and
experience is. Thus boredom and “island fever,” if nothing else, forces us to
grow.
Then when faced with an unfamiliar problem, or a situation
seen through the fresh eyes of higher consciousness, activity in an anterior
part of the frontal cortex leads to the discovery of abstract relationships
between context and action that involve multiple levels of abstraction simultaneously.
This multidimensional capability could underlie the ability to adapt behaviors
based on the generalization of separate, past learning.
Whatever “spot” one finds oneself in, it is always the right
spot according to one’s efforts, or one would be in a different spot. Our
state, environment and conditions reflect our currently accepted limitations
vs. excellence. We have arrived at this “spot” due to a series of effects and
reactions, and we could map out this trail of happenstance with emotive state
words like a mind map. Then it is easier for us to observe a metanarrative.
Metanarrative means a "big story," sometimes referred-to as a
"high level theory," or a narrative about narratives. The comprehension to “see”
where we are in our life journey is a skill of sublime objectivity achieved
only by the anterior frontal lobe and its talent for multidimensional
abstraction. If we don’t turn on our fog lights, so to speak, we won’t be able
to see where we are going, and so we might decide to sit under a tree like Rumpelstiltskin
in quiet complacency, until life itself prompts or prods us onward. But by
actively cultivating the neuro-development of the Uraeus we regain our
enthusiasum for novelty and so seek out growth experiences.
The slave has conditioned themselves through learned
helplessness to be afraid of or numb to freedom. The uninitiated flatlander has
boxed themselves into a static spot with restrictions of perspective, ideology,
excuses and all the great "isms." Thus the narrative of the
slave goes around and around in small circles, since the grand quest of the
great unknown is left unknown. The meta-narrative of HUmanization is that
enlightenment is an inside job of emancipation, egalitarianism and progressive
liberation from the gravity of our lower world of competition for power and
economic dominance.
The emergent principle of legitimation in society is the
time to pay attention to new information. But it is not “time” persay that is
the crucial factor, but time spent focusing on the clear identification of what
in this ocean of information is worthy of our attention. Knowledge and
decision-making is for the most part no longer based on abstract principles,
but on how effective it is at achieving desired outcomes. Without the ability
to hune our world to our deepest desires and passions we are forced to submit
to pathological power programs of the existing status quo, which slow our
neurological development to the self-initiated creative Self. Thus temporal
focus must be brought to bare on the causal and transcendent fork in the road,
rather than retracing over old worn out paths that lead nowhere.
The strength of sovereign community rests to a large extent
in the continued striving of individuals to arrive at new views, without the
need for uniformity and the totalization of opinion associated with herdmind.
Sovereign legitimation must emphasize diversity and the fertile search for new
answers to old questions through intellectual inventiveness thereby increasing
the performativity of the overall community system. The grail of legitimization
or authenticity is actively achieved through imaginatively seeking out
instabilities, problems and anomalies in current ideologies to create a new
playing field for the unknown. The high art of sovereignty is the
metanarrative...that is the resourcefulness to edit one's narrative to arrive
at a "better" spot than the previous ones through whole-Self
awareness.
The freedom to be whole is achieved through gratitude, which
allows the cellular forgiveness necessary to form new and novel building blocks,
data bases, pathways, networks and programs designed to develop new
technologies for HUman experience.
FREEDOM MEDITATION
When lying in bed, on the grass or in seated posture…feel
your head to be a martini glass. When you do this your ears will pick up and
you will become very cognizant of your temporal lobes. Now from the base of
your pelvis pull your energy up through the body and out the crown chakra in a
fountain. Keep the martini glass and fountain sensation going while slow belly
breathing and feeling unconditional freedom in every cell and fiber of your
being. Sovereignty is freedom. The freedom to BE. Sovereignty is the temple of
Being in the Heart. Sovereignty is synonymous with coming alive!
A HUman is a nonBorg human. That is one that has ignited and
is utilizing their anterior frontal lobes and has access to the full spectrum
of the light hues available to the Homo sapiens species at this present time.
Thereby accessing spiritual traits and capacities that enable a vastly higher
achievement and personal growth beyond mere socialized expectations and values.
To get to that degree of purity, harmony and excellence requires that we overcome
the negative traits that arise from the poverty of spiritual development.
Spirituality encompasses the ecological, physical, vital, mental, emotional and
social accomplishments and conditions. One aid to assisting the development of
the HUman is to tone HUUUUUU. This resonates in the sinuses, clears out the
brain steam, rebounds in the crystal chamber, cleans the brain and enlivens the
frontal lobes. Hear it here...www.eckankar.org/hu.html
