The
Immune System
Your Immune
System
can be likened to an army
that fights off foreign substances (chemical toxins, viruses,
and
bacterias) which invade its space. When your inner
army/immune system is activated, such symptoms as fever,
fatigue, topical outbreaks,... may be exhibited.
The
typical psychological reaction towards these symptoms is to label and
judge them
as a "Crisis" if not a disease... when in actuality,
these are signs that
ones “inner army” is doing its job to
purify and thus promote "Healing" in the body. While
most western
medicine
typically suppresses these symptoms with drugs,
the toxins (most drugs are - toxic) remain to accumulate
within
the tissues. Over
time, these tissues can hold only so much of this
stuff before the body systems become overwhelmed, stagnate,
and
shuts down (i.e. dies). We
also
have something of a spiritual energetic immune
system which helps process and clear such "symptoms" as anger, fear,
depression, sadness,... that are stuck within our mental and
emotional bodies. Yet, if
we accumulate too much of this "stuff", and these conflicts, issues and
emotions are not cleared, over time they may become
suppressed
deeper
and deeper into the subconscious... to be even more stubbornly
lodged within the matrix of our energy fields, chakras, or even
within our central core.
The varied energetic and mental bodies can only hold so much
of this
stuff before
they too are so
overwhelmed, they will eventually stagnate and shut down. Their may not
be a definitive emotional or
mental death (like what occurs to the physical body) but
it
certainly could feel like it to the soul who is experiencing this first
hand.
People
often ask me why they need so much
healing. If we consider that the ego-mind-will
(subject to the soul
consciousness) has been suppressing all of these emotions
and thought patterns, not just for a
few years in this one life, but lifetimes in many different bodily
forms... then you see Spirits
perspective. And when this one life ends (when your body dies) all this
“stuff” created by the soul consciousness and
ego-mind-will, gets dragged over into the next incarnation,
recreated over and over again
(until finally cleared). But you do have a choice - heal it
now or
wait till another lifetime... in either case, it's
not going to
magically clear up all by itself (such
things
cannot be ignored forever).
Facing
the Abyss
“The Dark Night of the Soul”
We
may think (and hope) that by
ignoring or distracting ourselves from unpleasant situations and
feelings, they will just go away... and from our conscious awareness
they
may (for a time) but not from our subconscious nor from our energy
field. At some point, everything that we have stored away into the deep
recesses of our being comes out and must be dealt with - this is our karma.
When the
“Healing Crisis" on these other
levels have been held at bay for waaaay too long, it eventually
devolves into “The Dark Night of the Soul". The phrase
“Dark Night” is the mild description -
it’s more
like the “Dark Season”. Where the
“Healing
Crisis” may last only a few hours or days, the
“Dark
Night of the Soul” may last weeks, months or even years. And
just like the Healing Crisis, this “Dark Night” is
one
way Spirit is trying to help us confront and process out our
“stuff”.
If
the
soul
has been carrying this garbage for eons, there comes a time when the
soul (in the "Bardo" state between lives) says "Enough ! This next life
we are going to process and clear as much of this stuff out as we can".
Such a life time may not be pretty or fun in any sense of the
word - it may actually be a sort of Purgatory (or Hell) on
earth
(where all sorts of mean and nasty things happen) but if the soul hopes
to be free of its baggage, it must go through
this purification.
The
healing work accelerates this
purification by digging into the hidden nooks and crannies of your
subconscious, energy fields, chakras, and central core...
dislodging and bringing up to the surface your ego resistances,
suppressed issues, and negative energies (and whatever else is stuck in
there). You may become
conscious (or possibly re-live) some past life memories and
associated unpleasantries (traumas). When this happens, your ego-mind
will likely interpret and judge these feelings and memories as a BAD
thing, and will try to suppress it yet again (which is how this stuff
got down there in the first place). The energy work will
assist you in this purification process so that you don't hold on to
this junk, but completely let it go.
If you
did not purge this stuff out, it would continue to
(subconsciously) run your life... and continue to eat you up (from the
inside-out). Within the context of the healing work, when you
are sensing these unpleasant feelings, thoughts, or memories, it's a
sure sign they are on their way up and out of you
(verse remaining stuck, hidden inside). When this purification process
is occurring, do not listen in fear to the ego-mind and give up on the
healing work
(in fact, this may be a good time to do even more). It
is often at the very pinnacle of a major breakthrough that the most
negative stuff appears. If you allow your stuff to stop you from
continuing the healing - it wins, you lose.
As human
beings, there are so many things we
have a hard time doing – working
through our stuff is one of them. This is why
Spirit has brought you this healing work. As long as you are willing,
we will help you move through this stuff as fast and easy as
possible – but it is your choice to do so or not.
