This causes most of the confusion in this density, and as a 3rd density being in subject as well.
I admit I’m coming into the conversation with limited understanding of concepts as pulled from the materials here, so my own understanding is separate than your communal understandings of how you use some of these words and phrases.
This mind/body/spirit complex is not actually a Wanderer. I am of Yahweh. Ra imbued into my spirit in large part to grant me access to a higher spiritual intuition. Trust my gut, follow the threads, find the truth.
I see the similarity in animals and their fight or flight instincts, and draw connections to the spiritual and animal instinct.
Words are a clumsy medium for communication, and the jargon of the Confederation adds to that in some way. But I think we can look past that.
I would say that the topic we are discussing causes far more confusion in terms of spiritual understanding, specifically, the distinctions between personality and spirit. This is why it is so very difficult to open the heart and settle into it. The personality can only get there by allowing a phase shift and relinquishing its primacy, while the spirit personality only has to show up. This makes things very confusing for the poor personality.
It is similar to death. You will be able to move along from there to the extent that your spirit personality has developed its identity and understanding of deeper self. At that point all the BS you want to take with you has no real value. All the slick ways the personality manipulated things in the world to get its way have no value there. It’s the same when one arrives at the heart.
This is to say, animal instincts to survive and get ahead in the world are minimally useful in the context of spiritual being. But, as I said a few times already, it is very difficult for the outward-looking, nervous-system-derived personality to make sense of this.
it is confusing in itself, that there is essentially only ‘one thing’ to talk about, different aspects, not different things, a subtle but meaningful difference in understanding
This is a good point. I’ve read in several works that a lot of what gets people to dismiss and distrust their second density instincts is our inherent confusion about — and in some cases abuse of — our emotions, and the mental / imaginary gymnastics our minds do as an alternative to confronting and balancing them. Because we do not understand ourselves very well, we conflate our imagined fears with our bodily signals. Those who are more balanced can, for example, trust their “spidey sense” as an actual indication of danger because that sense isn’t simply feeding their paranoia and anxiety constantly.
Sadly, this sums up one predicament of the modern human. We have trouble really listening to our bodies, then we use our mental apparatus in a limited manner to make crude associations, all the while we cannot attune to the situation through our heart. All this compounds our general sense of isolation and fecklessness. Next, we’ll turn to AI to explain it all to us, but that will be within the bounds of our own limited understanding because the AI can only tells us what we’ve already said.
The antidote, I would say at this particular moment, is to purify our instrument of consciousness in a disciplined manner. Then our actual relationship with self and environment may become more apparent. So, meditation, cleansing energy work…what else?
Probably bodily exercise, the “meditation of the body”. But I totally agree with you. A lot of what kills intuition is just our insistence on driving the body like it’s a car. But a lot of the working group inquiries into body archetypes seem to indicate that the major function of the body is very shallowly seen as a vehicle, when it’s so much more. It’s not an augmentation of your ability to travel through space/time; it is like a piece of space/time mixed up with your soul. It’s more than a body; it’s being embodied such that you are fixed in the illusion.
At some point you may run across the books of Barbara Ann Brennan from the '80’s and '90’s where she teaches first about the layers of subtle bodies, and then about how spirit descends into matter via what she calls the Hara Line which is the more substantive extension of the “Silver Cord” which seers describe as what we use to travel back whence we came prior to incarnation. Her description gives details as to how spirit anchors to space/time being.
