Cleaning House 1: Your Subconscious is a Portal for Evil
“THE DARK THOUGHT, THE SHAME, THE MALICE, MEET THEM AT THE DOOR LAUGHING, AND INVITE THEM IN. BE GRATEFUL FOR WHOEVER COMES, BECAUSE EACH HAS BEEN SENT AS A GUIDE FROM BEYOND.” – “THE GUEST HOUSE” BY RUMI
Doing the “work” which helps us arrive at our true wholeness is similar to cleaning out an abandoned house. Most people in the world have been living in this abandoned house—though only in one or two rooms. Attempting to keep these few rooms “clean” from clutter is incredibly difficult in a world where we have much stress, expectation, rules, and distractions.
While we are living in this mansion, we are cleaning, going to work outside the home, and resting. The rest of the rooms of this house are darkened, cluttered to the roof with junk we have acquired throughout our lives. They are dusty, unkept, and have been locked to avoid ever having to remember just how much “work” we have yet to do before our house is cleaned.
We are all abandoned houses. We have all cluttered up our subconscious mind with decades of clutter, false truths, unhealthy spiritual concepts, dualistic systems, desires, resentment, lack of forgiveness, and pieces of our past lives which we have yet to recognize. In the “basement” are various boxes from every other life we have lived before this one.
In order to even get to this basement, we have to clear away all of the clutter in the rest of the rooms to find the key. When we do, we may be quite surprised at the things we find. In a few of those boxes are lives we have lived which reflect the very abusers we have endured in this single life. If we are unable to forgive them in any way, we may never be able to reestablish our “home” under independent ownership.
“AND IN THIS BASEMENT I STAND ALONE WHERE DARK AND DEMONS CALL THEIR HOME. AS I LOOK AROUND FOR MY GOODNIGHT. WILL YOU BE THERE WHEN I FIND MY LIGHT?” – “THE WEATHER BETWEEN” BY JD STAHL
If any of these rooms in our house go long enough without being cleaned or maintained, the entire hose will fall apart. So, in order to ensure that this doesn't happen, we have chosen to outsource the maintenance to religious institutions, businesses, political ideologies, beliefs, or other sources of trust and faith. Unfortunately, after so many years of changing leadership, these structures have since lost their purity and many of them are currently using pieces of our homes to hide certain energies/lives/consciousness.
While we may not realize what is happening—or what they are hiding—we are experiencing the magnetic energies of karma which have little to nothing to do with us. If/when these energies get strong enough, they often have the power to override our unconscious minds and cause us to act out of our normal composure.
To silence these energies, we stumble through the darkened rooms of our house in the middle of the night to locate an alarm before returning back to bed. While we lose our composure or consciousness, something may creep into our beds with us and claim us while we fall back into our schedules (waking sleep). Therefore, it is essential that we are able to discern which energies are our own and which ones are foreign.
When we are unwilling to acknowledge these darker areas of our shadow, any belief system in which we place our faith may use it as their personal portal to funnel karmic energy through. As a result, we experience pain, suffering, or other negative energies. When we cannot identify the source of these foreign energies, we become erratically reactive, confused, depressed, and experience self-rejection.
The Divine Relocation
JD Stahl (11/18/2020)
I’ve swept clean your new room.
A temple, a new land, holy for you.
Empty of personal affect.
Out of reach by process.
Multi-level upper room to be renamed,
As you wish. The canal you travel to arrive.
No more wandering only in the night.
Universal mind, returned sovereign sight.
And when I leave, travel to the rising light.
The sisters will wash you.
As water drips, the dust will collect,
From your feet, through the caves,
The demiurge remains, and time contained.
For your hand shall hold the rings,
Ungoverned from division. Given wings.
Features of nature, united and risen.
In the sea, from the stars.
The divine mind, no longer imprisoned.
You have been raised to be forgiven.
