A journey through collective shadows
I did a source code session last night, designed to facilitate a release from "negative influences" such as the collective unconscious. It was very powerful as it happened, and even now, with a very strong sense of alive intelligent presence and luminosity around and in me.
As I was about to fall asleep, a very vivid journey started on its own...
There is a parade of dark and evil figures from all cultures and times, one after another. I experience each of them from the inside, living and breathing their life, and I see how there is the One "I" in everyone and everything, how they all are Big Mind... (and how they appear as dark and evil because they represent things that are disowned.) There is an incredible sense of depth, grittiness and fullness there, and also a deep sense of peace, of God already being it all (and nothing other than God), so just peace, rest.
It is all very beautiful and peaceful, even in the midst of the most horrifying creatures and images.. Just beauty. And freedom from it all, since they do not appear as an Other anymore, and since they are all already God.
Throughout this, the alive luminous intelligent loving presence is very strongly around and in my body, working in and on the body, especially in the kidneys (!).
This was clearly a journey through the collective shadows of humanity, from any culture and time... very vivid, real, living and breathing the life of all of these creatures from the inside, and realizing that there is only the one "I" in all of it, the one Eye, Spirit, Big Mind... as the inside seeing and subjective "I" experience of each creature, the form of creatures themselves, and the seeing of the creatures as Other. They came one after another, as a parade, human like, animal like, huge, tiny, one and many. All cast in the role of the villain. All representing things we rather would not see as ourselves as individuals, and also often don't recognize as the I of the One I.
And in the living of their life from the inside, and seeing that the "I" of each of them, the inside experience of each of them, is the One "I" of everyone and everything, there is a release from all of this. They are no longer Other, at an individual or Spirit level, so a release from them. Just rest, peace.
I am not sure what the activity in the kidneys was about, although I know they are associated with fear in Chinese medicine, and throughout this journey there was a deep absence of fear... Where there is no Other, on individual (projection) and Spirit (Big Mind) levels, there is an absence of fear.
