Aspects

Being that it is holographic by design, the soul, subjected to certain traumas, has the potential to split off, separate or fracture into many parts, each part being called an "aspect". Each of these separate aspects are composed of their own unique energy field, personality, self determinant will and ego identity, and as more and more time goes by (separate from the whole), they eventually begin to identify themselves as independent beings. All of these aspects also carry with them the memory of all that transpired (be it light or dark, pleasant or traumatic, positive or negative) from the origin point of their creation. In the work known as "soul retrieval", these separate parts are returned to ones current physical incarnation to be processed and integrated... bringing the soul into a more condensed, deepened and expanded sense of wholeness, light, love and power. Considering that each one of these soul aspects (possibly counting into the hundreds or thousands) need individual healing attention, then it should make sense that many healing sessions would be required.

The core essence of all individualized souls is "consciousness".. and the countless souls who originate from that same consciousness (ie essence) are part of a collective consciousness, otherwise known as a "Universe" (of which there are billions). From its particular universe of origin, the soul may choose to expand its awareness to other universes, or it may choose to take on form by descending into the more material dimensions of creation. In order to function and survive within the density of these dimensions, the soul cloaks around itself (like the rings of a tree) the energetic "matter" (vibrations) of those dimensions. Until shed, these coverings remain with the soul as part of its energetic bodily wardrobe. Each of these energetic layers add to the unique identity or personality of these "Aspects". As there are countless dimensions, the permutations are virtually endless. In some dimensions, nothing but geometric, numeric or crystalline aspects exist. Some aspects have the slightest of human resemblance, so alien in appearance as to look insect or reptilian like. Some aspects appear in "mythic" garb as fairies, elves, goblins, hobbits, unicorns or even dragons. And on those dimensions where the energies are so dark and heavy, one may create aspects that resemble demons and other assorted nightmarish creatures. But no matter what kind of aspects youchoose to take on, you are karmically responsible for all that they do.

 "And though I... understand all mysteries and all knowledge... but have not love, I am nothing...." (Paul of Tarsus). Though you may have or gain the psychic ability to see into these other dimensions... and though such insight may open up your mind to the possibility that such greater realities do exist, psychic abilities and esoteric knowledge are not the end all be all of the spiritual path. When ones energy gets clearer and clearer of personal karma, such abilities or knowledge may be received as Gifts of Spirit, but it is important to put them into perspective: Love and One-ness with your entire self, with Creator and with His Creation... is the ultimate goal here in this work.

The Shadow Selves
Considering that our soul has been around for eternity, it may possibly create (for whatever reasons) countless aspects. Some of these aspects may remain close within or on the periphery of our energy field,
but most are wandering around in the multi-dimensional universe following their own hidden agendas(agendas that you may have no clue of whatsoever). The farther these aspects stray from the Divine Light of Source, the darker they become, even to the point of becoming shadows of their former self, at the extreme becoming demonic. Because these dark or demonic aspects (our "inner demons") are a part of us, they can easily (through our subconsciously) influence our mind, emotions, impulses and will. Many think that an outer demon tempts, torments or possesses a person, and in some cases that may be true, but in many instances, such a demon may simply be an aspect of our own creation coming home to roost. Yes, on some plane of existence, demons do exist.. as an extension (aspect) of an individual soul or as a collection of aspects that have amassed into one body ("Legion").

All these aspects (sub-selves) that are a part of you also “resonate” (have an affinity) with all those dimensions you at one time traveled through (and perhaps at one time called home). Having a resonance with those dimensions, this also includes a resonance with the beings that currently inhabit them. The implication is this: If these other dimensions are dark, and the beings there are malevolent (i.e. demonic), and you have a demonic aspect(s), this would be a disturbing influence in your life (certainly affecting your subconscious/dreams, desires/will and energy fields). However, if you have made peace with your inner demons (meaning, that you have healed, transmuted, purified, integrated and processed them), those outer demons would have no power over you, nor have any influence into you (since the energies and consciousness that held the connection are no more).

What can (and does) occur with any of your aspects - no matter if they are good or bad, light or dark - is that they cannot help but eventually bleed through into your current incarnational experience. Even at the most in-opportune times, these aspects may manifest as any sort of personality changes - from the most subtle altercations in mood, to the most extreme even paranoid schizophrenic behaviors. Since these multi-dimensional aspects individually and collectively make up who you are as a soul, no matter your efforts - not even the taking of the most powerful anti-psychotic drugs or mood enhancers - will eliminate their influences. Because you are karmically bound to each other, you can never really escape from those aspects of yourself you do not like. The best you can do is to receive the work that would assist you to heal these aspects to a higher level of energy/vibration, one that could then be re-integrated (re-merged) into the heart of the Creator (which in this case would be into your heart).

Speaking of mood enhancers – i.e. drugs and alcohol... (I believe) this is a major reason why the taking of these substances are such a problem in our society – as a whole, we are not really addressing the deeper issue that needs to be healed, and that is these gosh darn “aspects” (just a thought).

Astral Self
Below our Higher Etheric Self or Spirit Body, at the levels of the lower and higher astral planes, there are (or can be) multiple astral bodies, astral selves, or "sub-personalities" that make up our psyche. The "Astral Self" was created as an extension or projection from off the Higher Self as a way to experience itself in another density. There is nothing wrong with having such an astral self (and its attached personality)... we need them in order to interact with the world (at least as it is in this current "Yuga" or cosmic cycle). However, there are aspects of these astral selves/personalities that are also (partly) constructed from the ego-mind. When the ego-mind elaborates or expands on these astral selves/personalities... when it grows unfettered and disconnected from the whole... then we get in trouble - then certain aspects of the personality (generated by the ego-mind) need to be tweaked or "pruned" - just like a neglected tree or an overgrown garden. When our "soul garden" is thus trimmed, then we can distinguish the individualized plants - then we can see "the forest from the trees" (so to speak). In other words, when all these weeds, undergrowth, or "stuff" is cleared out of our spiritual energetic space, then we can discover our own Soul amidst the confusion that is our life.

As these Astral Selves or sub-personalities have their own separate egos, minds and will, they are often at odds one against the other, keeping you in conflict, inner turmoil and separation. The most difficult problem (besides trimming down these separate selves) is to unify all these conflicting wills towards a single goal, eventually integrating all separate selves into one being. This is thee greatest struggle we will ever face on our spiritual path. One who has aligned and integrated all these wills into one is considered a Great Master.

Until that day comes, it will be these various aspects of our being... those sub-personalities or consciousness that are isolated, separated and in conflict with each other and from the totality of God - that will need this healing work.

Inner Child
On its own (disconnected from the Higher Self) the Astral Self could be likened to a wild child whose limited material perspective (or view) on all things and beings revolves around his constant, immediate, and selfish wants, wishes, needs and desires. He is guided by sporadic impulses and feelings, not having any sense of consequences or higher purposes.

Your "Higher Self" or Spiritual “Parent” (existing on the higher dimensions) wishes only good for this lower Self or “Child” (that part of you that is incarnated on this level). However, the parent (spiritual or otherwise) is (nearly) powerless to help if the child will not or can not listen to the promptings of spirit (that "still small voice" within). Your spiritual parent (High Self) tries to guide you down a sure and safe path, but if the child is so enraptured with the drama of this world - following their own passions and worldly agendas - they will not be able to hear the important messages coming to them.
The enlightened Higher Self says things like: "Don 't do 'that' because it will hurt you...instead try this." And the child may say: "I want 'that' no matter what ... I don't care if it's bad for me or not! I don't want to do what you say... I want to go my own way." Through repetition of this sort of behavior, the child self energetically blocks out the spiritual (parental) messages and just hears what it wants to hear - itself. Over time, the lower self digs a hole deeper and deeper into trouble, turmoil and suffering, creating more and more negative karma.

At some point, even if the lower self changes its mind and wants to hear what spirit is saying and receive its help, it may not be possible - the energetic blocks may be so strong - this vast space of “disconnect” may be so deep... that neither high or low self can get through to the other. This kind of relationship with Spirit is just like when you make a phone call - if there is a lot of interference in the line (or the distance between you and the person you are talking to is very great) you may not be able to hear each other very well. Unfortunately, re-bridging most of these connections is not something either you or your High Self can do alone.

It is at these times, when the child cries out in such pain and anguish (having reached bottom) that it is now willing to be humble and follow the direction of Spirit. Having heard your heart felt desire and plea, your Spirit Guides and Angels - whom you (hopefully) do not have such a history of resistance against - can now direct you to another being who can act as an agent or intermediary for your High Self. This being - a powerful ally - may help remove these blocks and interference patterns between and within you, so that you may once again reconnect with your own Inner Higher Self or Parent.


Timing
Timing is extremely important in our unfolding. If we remain in our resistances, behind our walls for too long, we will miss out on many good opportunities that were just waiting around the corner. Of course, our lower self is always in choice to follow through with the path our High Self presents, or reject it and go in a different direction. But if we reject the higher path, the greater destiny we planed for (when we were in Spirit/Bardo) may not occur. There are windows of opportunity that are only open at certain times - if we are not awakened to and in sync with our destiny, these opportunities may be lost to us for good. Not only that, but if we are not open to the subtle warnings our spirit gives us, we may (for ex.) miss the "signs" and find ourselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, making a left turn instead of right... being in an auto accident... being shot at... the list goes on and on.


Self-Discovery Practices

Internal Dialogue
Here is a practice (you may do as part of your journaling) that may help you "mentally" discover your inner sub-personalities, inner selves or “aspects”.

Write a list of all the characters of your inner-personal drama. Feel free to let your imagination roam. For example, there is you, the ego, the child, the adolescent, the adult, the parents, the angel, the alien, the space being, the animal, the beast, the demon (and there may be any number of each, not necessarily just one).

Personalize and name each one - feeling free to choose whatever you imagine they would like you to call them.

Next, develop an ongoing conversation or dialogue with each one of these separate selves, having them speak individually to you - whoever the dominant "you" are - and then with each other.

It may help to give each character a different color of ink or even a separate form of handwriting. Do this by holding your pen differently for each character, using your left and right hand and different fingers positions. Once you find a hand position for one character to write with, stay with it - do not change - you want to establish and strengthen the link between that character and your nervous system/body.

Of course, I would highly recommend you receive the healing work I offer – it would at the least make this exercise go much more smoothly. You may find that if you do not first receive the healings, who you find living and lurking within may not be entirely to your liking. (For another way to communicates with your inner self, you may try Dowsing.)

Faces behind the Face
"Aspects" can be seen as "faces behind the face". If one looks just right, the superimposed impression (or shadow) of a face may be seen (it may not always appear human nor be light). Some people can see this quite easily, others not at all. As an experiment, sit opposite a willing partner (or even in a mirror under a soft light), and glance gently and diffusely onto the others face and eyes (perhaps gently focusing around the 3rd eye or brow). There is some subconscious control in what (if any) faces another will allow you to see. If there is trust, openness, and a non-judgmental attitude, the soul faces you are looking for may reveal themselves.


Oija Board, Drugs and Alcohol
I know that many people who have used such things and have had some negative experiences, and that among many circles, its use is more than frowned upon. I don’t advocate the use of the Oija Board, drugs, or alcohol - for I think these are all distractions away from directly doing the healing work (and I truly understand the caution and danger in these things). However, I just want to make a comment on this whole phenomenon in light of the information on “Aspects” I have provided.

As long as people have parts of themselves that remain un-integrated, un-transmuted, or un-purified, they run the risk that these lower and darker “Aspects” of themselves come through at any time. Especially when one uses the Oija Board, certain drugs and alcohol... these things have a tendency to open your being up to such unresolved “issues” and “things” that are in the periphery of your consciousness and energy field. If you have thoroughly healed all aspects of your being (thus greatly strengthening your aura) you have nothing to worry about from the spirit world. I don’t mean to say drug and alcohol use is a good (or necessarily a bad) thing and is not going to harm your physical or mental body (everything in moderation some say). I am just saying that after a certain point on your healing path, your spiritual energetic immune system is fully functioning, and you can step “where Angels fear to tread”, and you will (by and large) not be harmed.
