View Full Version : Danger: The Battle Within

Danger is a sense that strikes deep. It is the loss or lack of safety.

Many teachings and belief systems revolve around the idea that we are spiritual beings that transcend the death of our physical bodies. There is nothing that can stand to truly refute this.

Yet, many times we feel threatened or endangered in the absence of any potential physical harm. Many times we sense danger that we believe pertains to us, when in reality it is something inside us that is being threatened. Something which, like us, reacts instinctively in the face of danger.

Its reaction is fight or flight. It will lash out or run away. This is an act of preservation, but it is not your preservation. It falls to each one of us to have courage, to assess and evaluate any alleged danger.

See that it is not you who is endangered, but something inside you. It is not an essential component, but something which has become attached.

There are different conceptualizations and definitions which seem to fit.

(thanks Houman)

But the battle is not won through proper labeling or allocation. It is fought through coming to know ourselves, and differentiating what is our essence from that which has attached itself there.

This requires us to employ our intellect, and suspend emotional responses which are a mechanism for the self preservation of the other.


We can roughly divide everything that influences us (our behavior and reactions) into two groups: our right mind and everything else. I do suspect that major role in 'everything else' group belongs to foreign installation. Without it great number of traps would look silly but not if foreign installation whispers what 'we' should think and then agrees with itself before we catch what happened.

'Stalking oneself' that Castaneda explained in detail is the only effective way, known to me, of catching every trick of our foreign mind. There is zillion traps outside and we simply can't avoid them all unless there is constant internal struggle of recognizing real motives behind any decision. Without influence of foreign installation we would not see religious person switching to GFL saviors or vice versa, as a rough example of substituting one trap with another and feeling good about it.

Without recognizing constant influence of foreign installation, their mind will make sure that we choose wrong group to join or fall for any other trap. External part of our enslavement made sure that there is enough traps around that cater to any possible taste so we can be misdirected to choose unwisely and still feel good about that.



Observe the movement of concepts. Observe also the thoughts you hold in relation to these concepts. Pay particular attention to the random ruminations that either confirm or deny these concepts. Note the internal voice in opposition to or support of these concepts. By this, I mean the little voice that you consider to be your voice, the one that speaks in the syntax you're used to, that comes up with little commentary, that has already built deeply ingrained neural pathways within your brain because of habitual and constant use. In this way you become familiar with the flow of your own thoughts, the patterns of your own mental processes and where those patterns take you. By becoming familiar with them you are able to determine which of these thought patterns serve you and which do not serve you. Which of these patterns are toward your highest potentiality and which of these patterns are toward your lowest potentiality.

Your mind is under constant observation. Has been since you began having thoughts. You've been compromised by a consciousness that insinuates thoughts into your mind that sound like your voice, that is the voice that you've been hearing in your head since you were a child. Of course you think it is you. Even when you become aware that it might not be you some of the thoughts still get by you. Which is why it is imperative to begin the process of examining the thought process and paying attention to everything that comes through your mind. There are a few key strategies:

1. Is this thought contextual?

2. Does this thought serve my highest potentiality?

3. What are the ramifications of following this line of thought?

Remember that the natural state of humanity is clarity. No discursiveness. Connection to Source, expressing the directives of Being with conscious and subconscious alignment. Language and mental infiltration lead to a state of continuous chatter/discursiveness that is a function of living and communicating in our societies, so a certain level of discursiveness pertaining to the workings of the Ego/Self maneuvering through space and time is necessary. Adyashanti, Tolle and Mooji speak of this in detail. But the dwelling upon past and future, the constant commentary of varying types are indicative of a lack of mental control which points to a subsequent lack of emotional control as the two are interrelated and they feed each other, leading one into the familiar patterns of destructive thought and behavior that we all should be familiar with.


Step back from the knee-jerk reaction and ask yourself, "Is this me?" "Is this who I really am?" Does something truly resonate, and if so, what part of you is it resonating with? Trace it back to its very roots, as far back as you are able.


It is a program. Whether it is the foreign installation at some level or an AI the effect within our lives is the same. Whenever we deviate from the program the chatter-program begins with wordware that has been designed and perfected over millennia to subvert our initiative and bring us back into the fold. Barring that, the program demands our expulsion from the system or death. Depression programs, suicide programs, homicide programs. Whenever you hear a mother who killed her kids saying the voices in her head made her do it that's part of the program at some level or another. Whenever we find ourselves stuck in a series of negative thoughts that is us being caught in cycling program iterations.


When one can see 'it' at work it will do 'its' best to turn people we interact with against us. Or, it will have a person say something to hopefully trigger a reaction to us. Mostly, 'it' wants us to feel very isolated and alone in our perception. Having those close to us or around us become adversarial is one sign of aggressiveness. A classic move is people denying that they or you said something that you know you or they did say. The tactic is to make you doubt your perception or sanity.

This is not some localized entity. This is part of the Matrix mind. Autonomy on our part and questioning the source of our thoughts is perceived as a software glitch, virus like behavior on 'its' part. Containment is crucial for 'it'. We, by stalking 'it' and being aware of it, have become an infection to deal with. Those around us, under the influence, act as an immune response. It will get hostile. Smiles will often accompany long blades.


It prefers established hierarchy, and conformity. It compels you to either be in control or fall victim to control. There are many people all over the world who effectively play out either role – the controller or the victim – without even being conscious of the fact that they are doing so. What they are conscious of is the feeling of safety, as part of this established paradigm.


What I do know, is that this hive mind is deeply imbedded in each and every one of us, and anyone who tries to jump the fence and leave the slave plantation, is policed and sanctioned by the very slaves who want to hold the status quo and keep things the way they are. We are all subject to this reaction, and need to learn how to extricate ourselves from this matrix of control.

This is the fight of our lives, although I hate to use the term “fight” because it is antithetical to the goal of unity and collective intention for the outcome and manifestation of the collective dream we all came here to planet earth to create.

My sincerest thanks, to all those who have contributed and continue to contribute. Thank you to those who I have quoted above, and who continue to provide greater insights and different angles to this pervasive problem. The battle that wages within us all.

All the best

All the best with this thread Freed Fox. I am going to retire for a spell. This has been trying for all, no exceptions. I have the luxury of a time out and will take it. I am a bit raw and my emotions are engaged. I will follow my own advice and process those feelings. Meditation and quiet is my medicine.

Apropos of ‘taking a break’…

Taking some time away is a healthy and necessary part of the process of personal growth. We all need to do this at varying times, and to varying degrees. We can become very intensely engaged in ‘input’ or ‘learning’ when we fully engage with others. This is necessary, but is only part of the process.

Most real growth happens in secret, in silence, in peace while we go for a walk on the metaphorical – or literal – beach. We need time in silence to absorb those lessons, to build – or rebuild – the neural connections, the muscle memory, the newer self gained from the interaction. It is an integral part of the process.

Vivek, Jenci, Modwiz and all: take as much time as you need. You’ll come back better and stronger. That’s why you’re here - and we’ll all benefit from the wisdom you bring back with you when you return.

Cheers and all best wishes,

Selene

In content, they revolve around method to train the mind to appropriate reactions. The context is the perspective attained by the individuals who inspired the teachings.
That can't be taught, but it can be demonstrated. It's not the thoughts you have, but the way you judge them.
What also can't be taught is the intensity of the need from within to change, and the vigilance to change that follows. That comes organically, but largely though pain.
So lets bless the ever increasing availability of pain in the world, and acknowledge the amazing ability of the mind to insulate itself from it.

If you knew that that's all your human association is doing, protecting itself, would you continue to do it? Would you consider an erosion of your ability to do it a problem?
Or the solution.
If you can make that decision, the number of methods and the efficacy of them are astounding. You just have to want to do it.
It seems like a single simple choice.

Nice thread Mr Fox.
