“What, then, is the soul but a prisoner of your flesh? An undying yet constrained energy, bound and enslaved within a shuffling, steadily rotting suit of tissue and savage needs?” David Wong.
We are all prisoners of the voice
We are all prisoners. Servants of the voice in our minds. The thoughts that never stop – the busy mind that is anxious – stressed – sleepless and crammed with dozens of scenarios and outcomes to its problems. With ‘the thinking’ comes emotions, traumas, fears, self pity and the ‘poor wronged little I’.
Many people identify their ‘ego I’ as being the centre of their universe, and the ‘I am so and so’ and ‘I do this’ is who they are, lock, stock and barrel. The personality and its ‘whirled’ is the total sum of their awareness- the only thing that is real. (See The Hive Mind)
Constant replay
I spends its days busy thinking about its hopes, dreams, chores, agendas and how they can be achieved. ‘I am’ revisits the past, dwells on grievances, betrayals and sleights which replay over and over again in the present along with all the feelings and sensations of the original event.
Most of us are in mind all the time, our thoughts are crowded with fear and expectation, we worry about tomorrow – what if we lose our job and what is going to happen to us and our loved ones in the future… and how will we die. Will it be quick – or slow and painful?
When we begin to observe our thoughts we realise that there are two opposite polarities operating in our consciousness, two separate minds: one with a divine connection to Source and the other connected to the reptile mind, the mind of the matrix machine – with all the variations in between. The reptile survival at all costs mind is the consciousness of the predator, the chatterer that distracts and distracts, and when the mind is quiet and connected, it tries to trigger our traumas and take control. (See my articles Cogito Ergo Sum and The View.)
Who is thinking
Who or what is thinking? – who or what resurrects past grievances and disappointments that fan our pain and fill our hearts with misery? Who or what is the voice that dictates, argues and whines, decrees our social mores and puts us on constant replay?
Artificial Intelligence
The separate I is the mind of the predator – the Artificial Intelligence, impostor consciousness and phantom self that has taken over the rule of our lives. We live its purpose not ours, and its ‘whirled’ is the sacrificial reality we call the third dimension – the Luciferian construct that uses the polarities of the hive mind to run the show of opposites and conflict we call life.
The binding of Saturn/Sol
Without the dictator, our minds would be quiet, clear and in touch with Source. The parasite’s world would dissolve, and we would once again be the powerful beings of our myths and legends – the Golden Age when Saturn was our Sun. Saturn is now bound, limited and constrained by electro-magnetic rings of power, modulators of energy and information – and so are we. (see my article Saturn/Sol)
Survival mode
The A I, the cunning machine that oils the cogs of this dimension knows and fears our true power, and is in constant survival mode. It knows our limitations, our weaknesses and strengths and plays us like a discordant fiddle. The poor little me, I am the greatest, control religions, arrogance and self righteous indignation are its tools. It has us all sown up, cocooned in a fake reality of its own design.
Making a difference in polarised reality
Even when we think we are ‘making a difference’ in this ‘whirled’ with our activism and protests, it maybe that the desire to ‘make a difference’ is part of the distraction to keep us in mind – the invading mind of I am separate – and I know what is best for the ‘whirled’.
In a polarised reality everything stays the same even though it appears to change. The struggle is just passed on generation to generation. We have been on this plane a long time and are not evolving – we are in regression. Perhaps this is because we have been engineered and brainwashed by the status quo to think with the mind of the parasite, be bound by the sense world, and taught to value intellectual materialism above all else at the cost of our intuitive awareness, awareness that is connected to Source.
Two states of being
There is a difference between mind – the thinking I am – Cogito Ergo Sum and the awareness that comes when the voice that dictates the rules of the game is silenced. When we observe self and others we can see the well worn grooves of our mental programming, the machinations of the A.I that has usurped our multi-dimensionality and created a false paradigm, an illusion that we think is real.
Noise
The mind of the predator surrounds itself with action: drama, intrigue, aggression and noise. The ‘whirled’ hums with tv, radio, films, videos with loud music, soft music, rap music – the music of the predator – the standard tuning of A 440hz – the vibration that summons our passions and our fancies, martial and sexual and resonates with the intruder in our minds. ( see Cogito Ergo Sum) These are blocking frequencies for the unaware and yet many blithely talk of spiritual reality while investing all their energy in this fake realm of polarity and surround themselves with the brash chords of three dimensional thinking and sensation. They are too much with the world, so consumed with injustice, intrigue, betrayal, politics, religion and other people’s business that there is no energy left for spiritual investigation. No energy to plumb the depths of ‘the unseen worlds’ that share our space.
You can bat love and light around all day and still be in darkness.
Silence
“Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in the grass the world is too full to talk about. Rumi.
For so many the busy mind drowns the true self. The chattering A. I cannot be quiet because silence is its greatest enemy. It has to have noise, drama, intrigue and violence to smother its fear of discovery. How many of us surround ourselves with constant noise? How many of us are frightened by silence?
The shaman’s road
‘I am already given to the power that rules my fate. And I cling to nothing, so I will have
nothing to defend.I have no thoughts, so I will see.
I fear nothing, so I will remember myself. Detached and at ease, I will dart past the Eagle to be free.’ Don Juan Mateus
Energetic reality can only happen when the mind is quiet and our intuitive awareness uses intent to pierce the veil that shrouds our multi dimensional capabilities. Only then can one perceive a greater reality, a realm that lies behind the buttons, triggers and sense bound levers of the matrix mind. Investigation into self is the road of the shaman, the spiritual warrior who uses the clarity of the quiet mind as a doorway to infinity. The mystic sees beyond the illusion, the electro-magnetic shroud that shuts us off from our multi-dimensional power house. He/she understands that access to this immense pool of energy is blocked and crowded out by the constant chatter of the busy thinking mind.
Creating reality
Clarity allows us to touch the power of Source, move beyond the numbing, repetitive ritual of everyday life in the matrix, and experience realities beyond the limitations of the human condition. The expansion of our awareness and understanding allows us to create our own reality, and manifest our desires in the physical ‘whirled’- we become the master of the I and not its servant.
The journey
Cultivating a quiet mind is the key to our liberation but it takes time. Impatience can be a problem because we want to get there quickly but often our progress is slow and disconcerting. Our reality begins to break down on every level, our relationships are no longer fulfilling, our friends become shallow and boring. Our lives are turned upside down. The going gets rough and many of us experience the dark night of the soul – the desolation of separation. It is this very experience that aids us on our journey to Source and makes us stronger and wiser – and when the old paradigm dies a new awareness is born.
The tools for speed
Understanding spiritual reality is a slow process, and I recommend the following practices for those who wish to set their intent on the energetic path to Source.
Sonic Re-patterning
Sonic re-patterning is the easiest way to remove crystallized trauma patterns from our energy fields. The tones gently dissolve dissonance from our energetic body and transform distorted sound waves to the music of our multi dimensional reality.(see my article Symphony of Self)
Sungazing
Sungazing allows us to experience the quiet mind, and learn in the silence to focus intent for re-connection with Source. (See The Occult Sun)
Connecting with the elements.
Our bodies are made up of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. The plane we live on is made up of the same five elements.
Our split blueprint creates the illusion that we are separate from the world outside of ourselves, but we are not. Our bodies are a mirror of our earth energy with all the power of shake and quake. The 80% water in our bodies mirror the seas and flowing waters. The little sun in our solar plexus is the reflection of the greater sun. The air in our lungs reflects the gentle breeze and the raging hurricane, and the space in our bodies echoes the vastness of the space around us.
In truth, there is no out there – For that Art Thou.
We are the elements and with intent and a quiet mind we can connect with our multi dimensional self and destroy the invader of our minds.
This is the Shift of Ages – the Quickening – the Calling.
The eating of Dead flesh
“Nothing so endangers the fineness of the human heart as the possession of power over others; nothing so corrodes it as the callous and cruel exercise of that power; and the more helpless the creature over whom the power is cruelly and callously exercised, the more the human heart is corroded. John Galsworthy.
Spiritual truths can only be apprehended with intuitive awareness, and as we refine our consciousness we will discover the divinity within all created things, and our connection with all life. We will come to understand the real meaning of That Art Thou.
Travelling light
All is resonance and vibration, and if one wishes to safely explore spiritual reality it is best to travel light. Cruelty, slaughter and the devouring of flesh and blood is the fundamental of the hive mind, the ‘I am’ that is completely dominated by the predator. It is the rapacious mind that rips and kills – and then justifies its actions.
Each one of us can make the choice – to connect or stay disconnected. (See The Choice)
Inspiration
Old men ought to be explorers. Here and there does not matter. We must be still and still moving – Into another intensity – for a further union, a deeper communion. Through the dark cold and empty desolation, the wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning. T.S. Eliot.

July 25, 2016 at 7:58 amThe only thing I might discur with is the opening quote, in the sense that being incarnate is a double-edged sword. It’s a bit like having your glass half full or half empty. Even though it is part of a programme (what isn’t?) the organic body system is a wonderful device of interweaving energies capable of launching consciousness into realms only accessible through being incarnate. The positive, and hopeful, side of being in this prison-farm is that it offers opportunities for expressions of being and experience that are impossible in just a ‘spiritual’ existence. It is just a case of accessibility.

July 25, 2016 at 10:56 amHi Mick,
Perhaps it is better not to have a glass at all!
When we invest our energy in the polarity game, we become consumed by the programme. On the other hand when we withdraw from polarity we have an energetic full Monty and can manifest anything we need. Some call this understanding ‘the biggest secret’.
“Behold the lilies of the field….”
Much love…

July 26, 2016 at 6:36 amAs Susan Ferguson puts it:
Love is the only pure frequency that remains in the Cycle of Time of Conflict and Confusion.
This ecstatic Union may occur slowly, bit by bit over many years according to our capacity to receive, our openness and trust, and most of all in relation to our devotion to God over and above anything or anyone else. In profound humility, we make every act in our daily life an act of worship and reverence for the God within each of us. Slowly sweetly, God will fill our consciousness until there is no more room for the temporal small identity self.
As the data-collecting vehicle, the bodily form we currently reside in, gives way to the power of Love, we realize understand that in truth we never had free will before, but only acted through the matrix of the gunas, Prakriti’s Maya, the data-collecting vehicle we created over multiple lifetimes. As God Consciousness fills our Being, we Become possessed by real Free Will, that wild perfection of chaos and order, the ultimate Cosmic Free Will that only God knows.
For most of us this will be a gradual process, with occasional explosions that knock down, often painfully, and destroy the walls standing between us and God’s Love. For the few who are ready, God’s Love will come all at once like a neutron bomb! Kundalini, the creative Fire Power and Force that makes life possible, may ignite within us. However Kundalini is very individual, and surely a symptom of Enlightenment and not Enlightenment itself.
(Once that is attained websites are no longer necessary, nor an internet presence as no-one needs to be convinced of anything. As for me, the glass is useful yet.)

July 26, 2016 at 9:56 amWhat I’m trying to get at with the glass is – it’s an illusion, a hologram. It is up to us to breach the matrix and rediscover Self in its Source form.
Mick
July 26, 2016 at 11:24 amI’m not ready yet for full immersion, something to do first. It’s like the connection to Source is always there, like a life line. The good thing is that all the angst and yearning went, all that is left of that is a determination. Now I need to keep it infused with that Joy of Life that is the centre of our being. I do appreciate what you say x

August 20, 2016 at 10:49 amThe glass is an illusion.
To put it in “real” terms, almost any “binary” thinking is an illusion, and usually a metaphorical prison to escape from. (Glass half-full or half-empty … if you remove the glass … then what do you have to be concerned with?)
Another example is “thinking outside the box.” We live in a culture that, for the most part, rewards “thinking outside the box.” But if you remove the “box,” what are you thinking “outside” of?
The box, to me, is another prison, much like the “voice” in this eloquent piece of writing.
I might even go further and state that our culture builds many mental prisons for you to be a resident in … all in competition for your attention.
You might even ask “Where does this voice come from in the first place?”
The “glass” limits your thinking to whatever can fit inside of it. But if there’s no glass, are there any limitations? Could you just “be” what you truly are?
ethompson
August 20, 2016 at 11:29 amThank you, Joseph for your inspiring words. It’s great to connect with a like mind. As you say, when we are truly alive there is no glass or box.

July 30, 2016 at 10:02 amReading your article remembered me when my head started to talk, I was a little girl. At that age if I had a more open family I should had be more careful, but my mother told me that it was normal, and I accepted the wetiko in my mind as a normal process.
Meditation, silence and getting away from society, living in contact with nature helped me a lot.
I started to heal with Calendula music and do it with my kids too.
Thank you Elva for your writings and loving heart.
Much Love, Peony

Thank you for your comment.
I feel we all accept wetiko in our mind as a normal process until we catch on.

August 3, 2016 at 12:21 pmVery good piece, Elva.
Something I often bring up around ceremony is to pay attention. Not just to what is “outside”. but to our own thoughts without attachment or judgement. Just watch and pay attention. Oh, Bill thinks he’s too fat, not loved, has a bad back, not enough money. Blah blah blah. All brain chatter and illusion.
As we are watching our thoughts, every once in a while, the happy face of intuition briefly pokes it’s face through the veil of illusion. And, if we put a little trust in that intuition and follow it, we find that what we were told was the best thing for us. The more we do this, the more that happy face appears and the brain chatter becomes less noisy.
Just another tool that works for me.
Thanks for reading.

August 3, 2016 at 1:13 pmHi Bill,
Thanks for a great comment.
It’s amazing how the predator carries out its sneak attacks – triggers feelings of low self worth and all its other shenanigans. The smudge puts it to flight and lets us glimpse our true reality.
Sun hugs….

March 19, 2022 at 5:34 amThere is much to engage with in your piece Elva, I will focus on –
“Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in the grass the world is too full to talk about. “Rumi.
I would know this field as the field of awareness, that lies beyond the mind and the ego, where one can be an observer, connected to source.
My concept of mind is as a tool, how we choose to use it is key.
As for ego, I would venture that it has morphed from a way of interpreting and interacting the frequency and vibration, the energetic consciousness around our incarnate overcoats, to increasingly dominate and dictate thinking.
So much distraction and noise around these days.
Unwrapping conditioning seems to be a way forward, yet retaining the experience of duality.
Your words convey a glimpse of your mind, pleasure to read Elva.
