Addiction in depth-

We live in an age where drug addiction and addiction in general, have become an absolute epidemic… and because of this, it is crucially important for us to understand what addiction is on a deeper level, perhaps now more than ever…

Here at old soul philosophy, we take a very different approach to addiction… like everything else, we address it at all levels of manifestation… Spiritually, psychologically and physically. No matter what kind of addiction, whether it be to drugs, money, power, eating, cigarettes or any other kind… by addressing it at the source, internally, we have the greatest potential for growth… also for overall perspective as far as addiction and its different degrees of manifestation go. When an individual comes to comprehend how addiction manifests at the spiritual and psychological levels, they can then apply that fundamental understanding to most any addiction they come across, both personally and in others… Substituting different variables based on the type of addiction of course.

In this article we will begin with drug addiction specifically, which starts with a basic understanding of how these different substances effect our nature… again, at all levels of our existence.

Every “drug” contains within its essence a very particular resonance… When we consume this substance and take it into our being, our energy field begins to reflect this resonance… Causing some kind of internal state or condition dependent upon the drug at hand… These different internal states or conditions act as “preferable environments” for multitudes of entities which are of like nature to its energy… entities both internal (bringing aspects of our unconscious to the surface) and “external” (Attracting beings who resonate with the substance ingested).

It is also important to understand that when our internal resonance changes, be it due to drugs or any other reason, so do the emotions (energies) and thought entities coming into our “heads” … which is the factor that determines the nature of our actions and behavior at any given moment. If one remains self-observant even while under the influence, they will notice this happen through a shift in their thought process... whatever energy is active within us in that state, will start manifesting as associated thoughts via thought entities. Different moods (internal conditions) and or drug induced states, allow that part of ourselves which resonates with them, to enter the “driver seat” of our vessel … whether “beneficial” or “unbeneficial” to our situation.

Any and all drugs, once ingested, do indeed tap the individual into spiritual energies of which they do not normally experience to such an obvious degree… However, substances of a more “serious nature” hold much more potential for susceptibility towards unbeneficial entities/energies which manifest in many negative ways.

For example, psychedelics in general can be an incredibly helpful tool in one’s spiritual awakening in terms of developing clairvoyance and opening one up to receive channeled information… For the most part these kinds of substances tap one into a very natural, “playful” and knowledge-based kind of energy… or even “bad trips” which more than often result in some kind of internal growth and or a gaining of perspective towards one’s internal nature.

Whereas hard stimulants like Crack, coke and amphetamines… If not taken in moderation and with proper precautions, create a very uneasy and “hard to manage” internal environment within the individual… Which makes them susceptible to things like violence, paranoia and extreme unjustified sexual desires… Depending upon the individual’s internal nature, will power and the drug at hand…

That concludes part one of “Addiction in depth” …

Those familiar with my work will often see me mention various “Crucial Factors” pertaining to the efficiency and productivity of an Individuals Process of Awakening and Self-Initiation into life’s many mysteries… With that said, here I will describe and present yet another one of these highly essential factors…. I call this one “Attitude Towards the Experience” (A. T .T .E).

This is one aspect of the process, which has a direct and very significant effect upon the Overall quality of an Individuals experience… as well as upon their ability to get the most out of any given situation, no matter how seemingly fruitless or mundane the circumstance may be…

Navigating the current system that is in play, can very easily become discouraging in many ways if one does not make the necessary adjustments within their everyday lives… perhaps even especially for the Awakening Individual who can begin to see just how far the endless suppression and control of knowledge and life in general, has truly gone.

Though, with this ever-growing Awareness and In-depth perspective on such incredibly rare areas of life, comes a very real responsibility, you might even say a Necessity, for the Individual at hand to Apply and Integrate these rare insights into the different areas of their lives and conduct, in a healthy and beneficial way… as opposed to letting them drive one to any variety of unstable and unbeneficial mental states/Conditions (Depression, Anxiety, Fear, Paranoia etc.)… which is something I have seen all too often.

After one’s idea of “Reality” is shattered, which is an absolute must on the path of Awakening… it is then Important to Assimilate this deepened Perspective… One must begin to rebuild and reprogram their daily conduct, Attention and decision making, in accordance with these various degrees of Insight… and do so in a manner which reflects a Passionate and Inspired Outlook towards the process… even within all the darkness and chaos which surrounds the present age… in the sense that “we have now identified the issue and can begin to transmute this into growth, through proper Thought and Action.”

For the freshly awakening Individual, who is in the midst of their first in-depth assessments of the “state of the world”, it is quite easy to feel overwhelmed by this energy of suppression and deceit which governs so efficiently a society, which at first glance, screams “Lost Cause” …

However, it is important for one to realize that despite the Mass Ignorance and Lack of Awareness… despite the unbelievable depth of the Corruption and Deceit… those Individuals who are capable of coming to these In-depth realizations, hold the potential to play a hugely significant role… you could even say a “Divinely Significant” role towards ushering in the New Age and bringing the Collective into a much more Efficient and Spiritually Aware state of Existence…

One who finds themselves in this rare position, will soon realize the Intimate and fascinating relationship between their Internal Nature, and the World around them… As Above, So Below… As Within, so Without… Ones Experience is a direct product of their own Internal Conditions (Spiritual and Psychological) whether they be perspectives, attitudes, emotions, habits, addictions, depression, anxiety, pessimism or any other of a wide range of Internal phenomena… therefor when an Individual begins to embody this deepened perspective and Increased co-creative potential, they will begin to see more and more of that which they regularly give their energy and attention to, expressed outward in their daily experience… the Internal, reflected outwards, in an Intimate and precise fashion.

Attention and Effort towards any particular Emotion, Internal Condition, Thought, perspective etc**., attracts and yields direct experiences which are of like resonance…** The Individual who is susceptible to depression, actively feeds, encourages and brings forth like-phenomena into their lives when they give in to it… and the same goes for all different manner of Influence and energetic resonance, at both ends of the spectrum… One with a natural (spiritual and mental) resilience to outside influence has a great advantage in this area.

It is Important for one to not spend time dwelling upon “in the wrong light”, the endless nonsense which surrounds them… no matter how downright flabbergasting it might be at times… it is important to not “Take offence” to this deepened perspective into the majority of the worlds Ignorant state of being… but to instead carefully observe, analyze and Integrate the many present Insights pertaining to how and why this lack of awareness has come about, its wide variety of manifestations within everyday life and how one can begin to participate in the deceptive tactics as little as possible within their own behavior... less and less each day.

The degree of an Individuals “Presence of Mind” within any given moment, greatly determines their amount self-control and Awareness of their own Conduct… as well as their ability to extract Knowledge and Insight from within any given Experience/Circumstance. Therefor the Individual who embodies an unsavory attitude and deminer towards their daily lives, and who is highly susceptible in nature to outside Influence, misses out on endless Insight and opportunity… simply because they do not believe or even consider, that it could possibly be present within such a mundane existence… and is thus living a much less in-depth and lower quality of life, as compared to the Awakening Individual who is constantly looking for opportunities towards growth and development within every situation… even within mundane social Interactions and the chaotic work flow… keeping an optimistic outlook towards the experience as a whole, hardships and ALL…

Every Sentient being… especially One who finds themselves on a dedicated path of awakening, should view their overall experience of life, as if it were the absolute most Intimate and Important Relationship which they will ever take part in… and indeed it should be**... this relationship should take priority**, for it is the source and cause behind all else that they will perceive in this life.

Bond with this Experience… with its darkness and its light… show it Love, Compassion, Patience and Genuine Effort, and this will Indeed make its way into being reciprocated within ones life… However, treat it with dread, doubt and neglect… then this too will be reciprocated.

Much Love

-A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE...

When we are born into this world, upon our arrival we find ourselves within a system that has long been in play... a system that near the entire populace has assumed as their very identity seemingly without question. You grow up within this system adapting to its ways, blending in and inevitably becoming another insignificant piece in someone else’s twisted game of life.

Much more than often this is the way people’s lives will carry on until their last breath, and the reason that the majority of an entire populace could go centuries upon centuries living these seemingly meaningless lives, is due to the absence and suppression of Life’s most fundamental knowledge, which is mankind’s connection to its own inner nature and the world surrounding... ‘

This system that we find ourselves within has very intentionally bred this self-knowledge out of the perceived reality… mentally, physically, genetically… this being the reason why more than often the modern Individual can never awaken to their true potential, which would enable them to manifest and Experience a much higher quality of life… one where the innumerable unseen and unacknowledged Influences would not have complete sway over them, because they would no longer be in the dark and oblivious to their existence.

But for those old souls who find themselves unlocking the Esoteric secrets of life and embodying an awareness which rises above the blind submission that is all around them… an entirely new experience is possible and at your fingertips… the life that we all deserve to live, One could accurately call it a second chance at life.

Of course, this message will only be received of by those who are meant to see it... friends and acquaintances that have synchronized their way to these words, which in essence are missed by the masses in one form of the other all around the world… but to you I say, never take for granted the absolute privilege and responsibility of possessing the awareness necessary to begin perceiving and Interacting with the many areas of our existence which have been so thoroughly hidden… this knowledge holds the key to any kind of hopeful future. The Power is in our hands, Individually and Collectively… we did not come to this point for no reason.

It is our responsibility to carefully,lovingly and with good intent, embody this knowledge and keep it alive… Constantly applying it to the conduct of our everyday lives… aiding those who we come across that are seeking this connection that is in whatever way required, to help seize that spark of Divinity within them and live the highest quality of life possible. Only when we mentally and spiritually rise above the system we found ourselves within, can we begin to see it for what it Truly is and begin to shape this reality into something beautiful.

-Conduism-

Here I would like to explain in further detail the main goals, purpose and structure of the Practice/Understanding of “Conduism”, and its “Curriculum” if you will…

You could say that the “First Aspect” of Conduism begins with the study, practice and comparison of various religions, philosophies, yogic and spiritual practices etc. This lets one begin to develop fundamental, ground level understandings. During this period, one will gather knowledge from a wide range of spiritual/esoteric perspectives, comparing the different understandings from all around the globe and throughout history., connecting the dots and finding that the same core divine knowledge lies at the heart of all these various beliefs…

If one remains “present in the moment” while taking in this knowledge, it soon yields the discovery that we as humans are vessels or Conduits of Divinity, who embody a wide range of spiritual forces (Entities, Energies, Archetypal currents), and that our every Thought, Action, Emotion etc… is the physical and or psychological Effect/Product of a preexisting spiritual cause, which inhabits our body and animates the entirety of our behavior.

This realization inevitably leads one to begin getting in touch with the hidden spiritual essence that lies behind every moment in life… coming to find that everything we perceive on the physical plane, Animate and Inanimate, has an active, intelligent and communicable spiritual essence that preexists any physical manifestation.

This realization leads to a gradual awakening and tapping into of one’s spiritual gifts that lie dormant in their DNA, such as various forms of clairvoyance and extra sensory perception, this will be incredibly useful for further development. This period lets one **gain an intimate relationship with spirit and the “Unseen” factors of life (Spiritual, Psychological and Physical).**This “first level” never truly ends as one never stops learning and shaping their understandings.

The “second Aspect” of Conduism would be applying to the different area of their lives, the perspective that one has gained through the process stated above… For example, Students of Conduism are encouraged to apply their understanding of the spiritual nature behind all perceivable phenomena, to the many relationships in their lives. One begins to realize that the relationships which they find themselves engaged within throughout life, are reflective of their own internal spiritual nature/Conditions, and that by resolving and or better understanding these various relationships, they can in turn resolve and better understand the corresponding spiritual essence within themselves… this is the process of Spiritual Alchemy/Alchemical Transmutation. (All forms of relationships… Family, Friends, Lovers, Brief Interactions etc…)

Through the active cultivation of one’s ever-growing awareness, they will begin to live an overall higher quality of life through a more in-depth understanding of oneself and of the world around them..., as all is self. During this period, one will eventually gain the ability to read every circumstance in life with a much more thorough analysis than ever before, ones heightened awareness will grant them personalized insights into every moment of life so they may take as much as possible from any given situation they find themselves within.

Techniques learned in this level will also make one more efficient at manifesting their desires and aspirations, unlocking further control of the mechanism that is their mind. All throughout one’s practice they are also encouraged to express their divinity through various forms of art, for the student of knowledge having a creative outlet makes a big difference. This level as well never ends, as one is constantly learning new ways to apply this knowledge to life’s many challenges.

The “Third Aspect” of Conduism is the realization of one’s “spiritual responsibility”. Understanding that being an individual who is awakening to life’s many hidden secrets is an incredibly rare thing in today’s world. This is when one realizes that preservation and application of this divine knowledge is the only way to take the collective conscious into a state of self-knowing, which will in turn reflect a more “mutually efficient” and growth nurturing environment.

During this period, one often gains the urge to offer their assistance wherever it may be needed throughout their daily life. Possessing a more in-depth perspective towards the mechanics of life, allows an Individual the ability of tending to the various circumstances that they regularly come across, in a manner which most cannot... as the student of Conduism can thoroughly address them directly at the Spiritual, psychological and physical levels… This taps one into the importance of the bigger picture, understanding that we as individuals, and as a collective of Individuals, hold the tools necessary for shaping the future of our world.

I hope this was a helpful insight into the essence of “Conduism” …

Much Love

Calling something a “Myth” as a replacement for the word Lie/False, is a prime example of not only psychological programming, but also of Intentional Spiritual suppression… These words are not at all synonymous, and I will explain why.

Mythology, in its essence is actually quite the opposite of something that is false or a lie… though the modern usage and association would lead one to think otherwise. In all “reality”, you could say that Mythology, which in many ways lays the foundation for all Religions and Spiritual Practices, is the closest thing we have to an “Absolute Truth” … if there ever was one.

Mythology does not attempt to lay out any “Physical Facts” through which it can convey its message more “accurately”… but rather, like the deepest and most intimate parts of our Internal Nature, it uses Symbolism and Imagery to communicate… not because it wishes to be vague or fanciful, but because it is providing rare and deep Insight into the near Incomprehensible Nature of our Existence… one which no amount of physical evidence, Science or Psychology could even come close to truly grasping…

Mythology is a glimpse into the beautiful and chaotic abyss of symbolism which has and continues to make way for all that we know in this life… in fact, with the proper Discernment… you might say that it is synonymous with Spiritual/Divine Knowledge…

The Divine cannot be measured, forced into definitions or have its complexity explained away by any series of “facts” … and this is exactly the essence of Mythology as well… Symbolic, Complex and Divine Answers to Symbolic, Complex and Divine Questions…

When it comes to traumatic circumstances, relationships and experiences in general… There is a very real essence that remains within those involved, even after the physical manifestations of these occurrences have passed. Traumatic experiences have a way of leaving a kind of “imprint” on our spiritual and psychological nature…

Although the physical situation is no longer present in our lives, we still embody the energies, complexes and internal conditions that were acquired through these traumatic experiences… which of course applies to past and present incarnations. This is one of those concepts that may seem “obvious” to some… but there is a big difference between hearing this concept once and truly coming to comprehend the “actuality” of it.

The internal conditions that we acquire through these traumatic experiences, whether it be depression, anxiety, self-doubt or fear of all kinds… No matter what it might be, it exists at the spiritual and psychological level as an entity which inhabits us… One which was brought into existence, by us, during this traumatic event or period… We create them unknowingly with intentions, emotions and “mind power” … and to a degree this is unavoidable, it is just how we function.

In order to “move forward” from these lingering conditions in a healthy and beneficial manner, we must address them on an internal basis (spiritual and psychological). For one to heal these “damaged” parts of themselves, they must make a dedicated effort towards understanding these conditions on a more intimate level… But the very first step in this process is acknowledging that these aspects of ourselves exist in the first place, from this point growth can truly begin.

Two of our greatest tools which will aid us in overcoming and transmuting these conditions, are self-observation and self-reflection… One should regularly observe their own behavior as if from an outside perspective, when alone and when interacting with others. Being self-observant of how we interact with those around us can shed much light on how these internal conditions are manifesting through us in our daily lives… All too often have I seen people treat others terribly due to their own inner darkness (Depression, self-hatred, self-doubt etc.) and not even notice it… Also have I seen people let others treat them terribly for the same reasons, not realizing that this kind of behavior is stemming from one of these internal conditions… but as we become more self-observant, we start to “catch ourselves in the act” so to speak.

It is also important to be aware of the thoughts coming into our heads at any given time, as well as to be aware of what is taking place within our physical surroundings… all the while keeping watch to see if any of these factors are acting as a trigger for these “negative” internal conditions. Often times, an individual might all the sudden find themselves “overcome” by this internal darkness and have not the slightest idea why… Self-observation helps us become more vigilant of when thoughts or external influences could be triggering these different internal conditions. Upon identifying a trigger, it is important not to simply eliminate it… but to first intimately ponder why this factor was a trigger in the first place, even beyond the obvious reasons. Simply removing or eliminating the factors which bring our inner darkness to the surface, only pushes us farther from understanding and healing it.

There are different levels of self-reflection as it pertains to overcoming these trauma based internal conditions… Firstly, a daily self-reflection upon the events of the day, internal and external… such as thoughts that crossed your mind, interactions you had with others, activities you participated in. When reflecting upon these things ask yourself if any of your behavior that day might have been reflective of these internal conditions. The next level of self-reflection would be to think back to the actual physical circumstances which resulted in these conditions, whether it be a traumatic relationship, situation, series of events or any other factor… Bring these memories to the surface, while in a reflective state of mind, so you may ponder how these conditions gradually developed throughout the course of whatever the traumatic circumstance was… Imagine who you were prior to these experiences, how have you changed? What about your behavior is different since these conditions became active? Retrace the steps which resulted in resulted this darkness, no matter how hard it might be…

Remember to always show compassion to this inner darkness, it is not an “enemy” by any means… it is a part of our very essence and by putting in the effort to heal these conditions, we liberate the attached entity… in turn liberating that part of ourselves. Transmutation at its finest…

Much Love

I was watching a YouTuber today that I have been watching for years. He never in all this time has mentioned something like this before today and it really piqued my curiosity. He mentioned himself having the memory of an elephant and attributed it to the teachings of an ancient scroll written around 80 BC. He further elaborated that it contains instructions on how to activate certain powers and that many would claim it is a hoax. This guy typically doesn’t fool around in his videos, so I’m inclined to believe that he at least considers this to be genuine. Does anyone have any clue what scroll this could be?

Mason = Ma-son = Mother-Son. You can see this archetype in many cultures: Mary-Jesus, Nammu-An, Isis-Horus, Heru-Auset, and more. The word "mother" in English comes from "mater" in Latin, representing the "matter" or "material" that creates human beings.

The mother-son principle indicates the Creator of the Earth is a feminine force. We are not talking about an actual sex (male vs. female), but a feminine principle. This is why we say “Mother Earth” and not “Father Earth.” This is also why Hiram Abiff (or Mason) is called “a Widow’s son” because the widow has no husband. It means our Mother Earth doesn’t need a husband to give birth to us.

The word "women" means "womb-men" - the womb from which men come. No matter what beliefs and religions say, the truth is men are born from women, and Adam comes from Eve. This is natural, not artificial. Without women or "the womb of men", no man can be born!

Your mother or woman is the tree of life because without her, there will be no fruit on this planet. Women are divine because without them, there are no children of God. The Bible does not mention "Daughter of God" because women are Mothers of God.

If you want to see God, you have to treat your mother and woman right. If you mistreat any female on this planet, you will be met with divine retribution. This is an immutable law of the universe.

So I always want it to find my people with a belief that align with me for the day. Jesus will come as child form and in other body or similar to his last? He will be imperfect but overtime he will gain knowledge to grow his spirit?

Hey there - not sure if this is even the right sub to post this on but here goes - it's a long shot...

I read a book 20 years ago.

It absolutely rocked me to my core.

I had borrowed it off someone so after I read it, I returned it to her. I have never been able to stop thinking about this book. I have asked her time and time again what the name of the book or the author was but she doesn't even remember the book at all, or lending it to me, or the story line etc. Which in itself is super weird.

The book was a little smaller than a standard paperback.

Cover was white. Illustration on the cover was very simple - it was a dove.

I cannot remember the title or the author.

The story was essentially staged as fiction: about a group of friends and one of them has discovered the ability to transport himself through time and space by using his thoughts. The others within the group try to learn this from him. Eventually they manage to do it as well. The book basically gives the step by step instruction of how to achieve this. Toward the end of the story, the original main character basically teleports himself out of the material realm altogether.

The copy I had did not seem to be new when I read it which was exactly 20 years ago. So I can be certain this book was not written any time before the year 2000. More likely, based on the way the story was written, I am guessing it was written in about the 1970's - but that is a guess.

Naturally I have googled every possible term I can think of to try and find this book over 2 decades with zero success.

I realise I have not offered much to go on and the chance is slim - but does anyone have any clues or suggestions as to what I might be referring to here?

Thanks in advance.
