When tension increases, awareness decreases.

The converse should also be true: When tension decreases, (1) awareness should increase.

And so, in the midst of chaos, my awareness appears to be increasing. Having dropped Constant Comment, weathered the eruption of Humiliation that followed, (pant, pant) I notice that I have reached a place of … well, more clarity than I’ve known so far.

I see brush and obstacles still in the way of emergence, which is my goal. (2) I’ll know when I arrive at my destination. It’ll be unmistakeable; the higher dimensions are.

Today I “caught” a voice go off inside me that had more relationship to Adolf Hitler than it had to … name a saint.

It was my Dad’s voice. I just heard a snippet of it. But I’m familiar with the history of the Second World War and the sound of Adolf Hitler’s voice superimposed itself on the other.

It was like a two-track comparison of their speaking. They had the same range, the same force, the same insistence.

I saw the whole dictatorial routine, number, or act in a flash of recognition. When I speak of intellectual, emotional, and realized knowledge, this was realized knowledge.

Oh my Gawd, that’s who I am at times.

OK, OK, not all that much. Not trying to exaggerate. But I have lost it at times.

Time to switch hats to the ethnographer.

If I don’t experience the feelings arising from it, I’ll perpetuate the act. If I want the act to disappear, I have to allow myself to experience what follows. (3)

The recognition caused re-examination. And reparenting.


I know where this act leads. Everyone on Earth should know where this act leads, unless memories have grown short. I’ll issue a reminder: To total destruction.

To cities laid waste, to millions massacred, to nations destitute, subject to foreign rule. To the use of ever-larger and finally nuclear weapons. Those who lived by the sword died by the sword.

Oh my Gawd, I have the dictator within myself. This is the worst possible virus.

I say that my awareness has deepened because I heard just a snippet internally and immediately recognized the act.

Have I been studying the Second World War just to prepare myself for the recognition of the inner Hitler? I’m willing to bet “yes.”

Each time I flash on that voice and see the picture of my Dad yelling at me, forcing me to obey, I feel revulsion.

But who cares where it came from? He got it from his Dad. And so on. What difference does it make?

The point is I made a video of it, stored it away, watch it endlessly when the vasana erupts, and now play out that role myself – as the only way I know.

Like so many actors, I’ve become a role I detest. How and when did that happen?

Ok, so this is the next stop on this journey, to experience to completion the inner Hitler. (4) And then up will come the next thing. And the next.

Tension should decrease and awareness increase if I (quietly) process this vasana. And the next…. This is my plan for my gradual Ascension.

I assert that every brush cleared, every obstacle overcome restores me more closely to my Natural Self. (5)

(1) Heaven forbid in our world that it should do so lest I be accused of being other-worldly!

(2) Such as the Mother describes here:

“[The gunas, the Trimurthy] is formless, and yet it is form. It is a way of connection, and it is a way of understanding and entering into a higher vibration of being. So it helps the emergence into my energy.

SB: Sort of like stair steps?

DM: That is correct. (“The Divine Mother: Come to Me as I Come to You – Part ½,” Oct. 17, 2012, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2012/10/17/the-divine-mother-come-to-me-as-i-come-to-you-part-12/.) [My emphasis]

I’m seeking to emerge in exactly the sense she’s pointing at there. And I assert it happens in stair steps. Constant Comment, Humiliation, and now the inner Hitler depart, revealing more of my Natural Self, are all steps.

I also assert that this is an effect of the rising energies and hence a trace and indicator of our gradual Ascension.

(3) Matthew Ward put the matter nicely in his latest message:

“Intensifying light during the aforementioned period offers an ideal opportunity to set positive intentions for personal growth. Go into your heart space—as God said, “The heart is the seat of the soul”—and if introspection shows residue of anxiety, self-doubt, judgments or discouragement, letting go of it by breathing calmly, deeply, will give you peace in body, mind and spirit. Please do that for yourselves, dear family, so you can be free of stress and stay in balance.”

(4) Doing so is like letting air out of the balloon of ego whereas getting heated and having self-righteous disagreements only breathes more air into the balloon. I keep trying to offer different metaphors. Here’s another. Going into extreme behavior energizes a vasana (or core issue); calmly experiencing the rejected emotions like humiliation and the inner Hitler robs the vasana of energy.

Gradually we get to emerge from being a vasana-driven stimulus/response machine to being a normal and natural, pure and innocent human being.

(5) Sahaja = Natural; Sahaja Samadhi = Ascension = moksha, mukti, liberation from the birth and death of the Third Dimension. Sahaja samadhi restores us to our Natural Self.
 
look, the nutcases who made weird occult web 1.0 webpages have found out how to post on the farms
 
This is making me think of the first South Park game and the Nazi Zombies.

You get bit once, and you're infected with the Inner Hitler Virus.
 
Well, he's making more sense than Joe Biden...

Having just seen my inner Hitler, I now get to see another controlling myth of my life, another grand motif.

In his The Knee of Listening, Da Free John talks about how germane the myth of Narcissus is to those who seek enlightenment. He calls Narcissus the primary obstacle to enlightenment.

I wish I had time to translate his whole section on the death of Narcissus.

An Indian holy man used to say that the whole problem was contained in two words: “I want.” Narcissus is the “I,” the ego, the wanting mind.

But Da Free John tells the story in a way I haven’t heard before.

Narcissus was adored by the gods but rejected all relationship, being in love with himself. Therefore the gods condemned him to fall in love with his own reflection.

He could never consummate his relationship with his reflection and so, condemned to separation forever, he died in isolation and desolation.

Da Free John has expanded the self-serving bias from a tag to a Hollywood movie. He’s filled out the character of Narcissus for me.

Behind the myth of Narcissus. Da Free John sees people trying to rework the outside world to fit their own image.

I recognize myself in that. If I look very, very hard at what lies underneath my actions, I see myself trying to rework the world in my own image. Yes, very definitely.

That captures a child’s yearning in me for magical powers so that he can change the world to the way he wants to see it. I feel that in me.

I used to think of Narcissists as people who were extremely self-focused – to the exclusion of others. But Da Free John is using the myth to point at something deeper and more subtle.

I need to add that Da Free John has honed his self-awareness to a very fine degree, as he suggests here:

“I became intensely aware of every movement in consciousness. I perceived every event in the world … with an almost painful absorption. Every creature or environment I perceived became a matter of profound attention.” (1)

This degree of self-awareness I doff my hat to.

Da Free John is looking at the degree of control the Narcissistic desire has over us.

“The more I contemplated [Narcissus] the more profoundly I understood him. I witnessed in awe the primitive control that this self-concept and logic performed in all of my behavior and experience. …

“I knew then that all our suffering and all our deaths are endured only for the concepts, the functions and mentality that are guided by the unconscious logic of Narcissus.” (2)

The results of his remaining aware of the role Narcissus played in his life are a “profound, hidden unfolding, inevitable and sublime.” (3)

“My own thoughts or images … began to arise in a similar pattern to my external experiences. (4)

“A narrative was being constructed of my very life, which was itself a mythic form [Narcissus]. …

“And I knew that my own life was moving toward the very death of Narcissus.” (5)

Andrew Cohen was fond of saying that ego death is the price of enlightenment. (6) Are they pointing at the same thing?

I feel that desire in me to recreate the world like myself. At some level, there’s a resonance to that suggestion. I don’t even know what it means to say I do. Is it good? Bad? None of the above? I’d never thought about it before Da Free John mentioned it.

Cold Mountain taught me: Try it on. Test it out. See if it fits. It fits.

I’m trying to make the world over in my own image. Isn’t that amazing? Impossible task and yet I work away at it. In fact if I really look, I can see that whatever of my actions are intentional, the intent is to to rework the world so that it reflects me in some way.

Awareness is all that’s required. Something raised to awareness and allowed to be loses its grip on us. If that’s the death of Narcissus, bring it on.

(4) This same experience happened to me at a Vipassana meditation retreat. Whatever I thought manifested. That has since been described as a Seventh-Dimensional experience.

Steve Beckow: I had an experience at a meditation workshop in which I felt regal. It was a partial experience [no bliss]. Can you tell me what that part of me was that I accessed.

Archangel Michael: … Your highest Self, your Oversoul is very regal.

SB: So that was an experience of the Oversoul.

AAM: Yes. (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Sept. 13, 2011.)

(6) Da Free John is talking about the death of Narcissus from a realizational point of view, whereas I’m discussing it from the intellectual. Viewed from that much deeper level yields the kind of insights that are so moving to Da Free John.
 
Help guys I was just diagnosed with the Hitler virus. Why is everyone replying to all my comments online with “based”??
 
This is like an manchild know it all adult's way of saying and arguing "everyone is hitler except me". I can't wait for the internet elitists to use this article as TL;DR inspiration for solutions on their arguing on the internet.
 
Was the web page this that this drew from have a cursor that had rainbow pixels trailing after it?
