GENERATION: WE EITHER WE FREE OURSELVES OR BECOME SLAVES TO THE MONSTERS OF SHADOW

While you can say it's a Generation thing, something drastic is happening to consciousness. Those with 80s consciousness are now generationally removed from those with 00s con- sciousness, especially Gen Z, who have entirely grown up in the matrix.

I grew up making mistakes. If you grew up completely at the height of our current cultural shift, you have never known that experience. We are shifting into a consciousness that must account for the world with little to no recourse for the sovereignty of the individual. Machines are like that. Gen Z and Y kids see themselves almost exclusively through Social Media, a curated mirror.

But I grew up in a world where the individual is the seat of the soul. He or she is the root of the world. There can and never will be a replacement for it like creation; all things come from it and are ripples of its calculations and design.

Through the individual, one sees not his or her place in the totality of life but only touches the divinity of consciousness happening inside them, in the small, hushed moments of dreams, nightmares, and our imaginations. We live in a sanitized world where many will quickly discard these moments, returning to the lives prescribed by upbringing, belief, and political dogma.

Moving through the supreme rapture of all life are manifested fragments of cosmic particles producing carbon and oxygen-rich folia from the tree to the cerebellum, an eternal order. Primitive man and ancient societies created methods of preserving the balance between being an expat to nature and allowing its supreme force to speak to him. Later, mankind would see the allure of exploiting his awareness, the nefarious trade for Luciferian power. When we free ourselves from the grasp of our consciousness and possessions for what they are and what powers they lay upon our imbalanced nature, we can free ourselves from the exhaustion of slavery to the eyes.

In a time of mental slavery. Freedom comes from removing unconscious possession and the power of psychic images over our minds. We are the eyes of our inner being fully, without this obstruction in the substructure of the mind—an individual seeing with their total being free from the circular insatiability of thought and influence. If we can see our world better, we can see the world. This is because integrating our possessions leads us to psychological freedom from the disorientation of the images of our personal illusions and the illusions of society. It delivers ourselves back to us so that we may see and live from our center of being in communion with the supreme rather than dominated by the beast ruling our Shadow mind.

When the Shadow mind rules over you, you are no longer the individual consciousness; you’re participating in eternal darkness some call hell. Every person on the purgatory floor putrefies in the Shadow of another. When you despair, imagine that you may think your decisions are yours, like a tyrant who believes he must crush an enemy who has done him no harm but is the proper carrier for the traits the tyrant wishes to expel and externalize onto the other. If we do not contain our monsters, we will find plenty of them around us.

The mind isn't simply the personal psychological content; for now, the psychological is also the externalized world. This is possession from within. When one creates order unto them, unto others go the benefit and the structure upon which collective consciousness is built. If we can contain our Shadow, a husband or wife need not suffer, the child need not suffer, and human beings need not suffer from epidemics of the Shadow that greet us as famine, stock market crashes, or calling the police on your neighbor's mask usage.

Facing our personal and collective Shadow isn't feel-good New Ageism, void of moral responsibility, focusing on mess-free bliss. Many people who do not understand the duality of consciousness would be surprised to know if the monsters of our unconscious have grown great power over us and that they are the mirror of ourselves in need of healing. This mirror is the doorway into the labyrinth of consciousness.

The mythology of the dragon is helpful because of the danger and fear they represent in the collective imagination. Dragons sleep in caves and often rest in dark lands humans have avoided for generations (an excellent symbol for that which has not been dealt with gets passed down from generation to generation). As people carry the heavy load of unconscious mental noise and fear, they pass on that message to the next generation, who then, in turn, are plagued by the ineffectual limitation of where to go out of that fear. Shakespeare warned, “Come not between the dragon and his wrath," and for good measure. The dragons are within us. The atom bomb is a dragon that has been unleashed.

How will the individual born in 2024 and beyond escape the simulacrum that grows larger than the natural world? How will he or she hear or see themselves in a simulacrum that has been widely efficacious in hijacking and replacing our mind and innate essence and orientation towards the natural world?

Will the dragons take over?
