I recently became aware that aspects (past-life personalities) of my Greater-Self or Higher-Self have a long lineage in mysticism that goes all the way to Ancient Egyptian times. Arthur Waite the leader of the Golden Dawn was one of those lives.

Many people mistakenly believe that Higher Powers are the ultimate source of knowledge and goodness. The truth is a person’s Higher Power is learning just we are. Higher Powers only know what they know in the moment. Their guidance for us is based on this limited knowledge. My past-life personalities pursued Illumination to assert power and control over the people in its environment. It was on a quest of power. I have spoken about this in other articles.

A few weeks ago I was confronted by higher beings who informed me of my Greater-Self’s reckless behavior. I was informed that my Greater-Self had experienced very little growth in last three or four thousand years. My past-life personalities had withheld metaphysical knowledge for its own devices. I was told that my behavior and those that I had associated with had slowed the spiritual evolution of the human race. That situation has changed in the last two decades with the release of the universal laws.

This kind of judgment brings about a tremendous sense guilt. Past-life guilt, as well as that in the present must be dealt with before one can move forward with their current life. My situation was complicated by the fact that my past-life personalities had made contracts with a number entities who promised them power. Some of these beings would be considered dark spirits. These malevolent beings will not release you from your contract without a fight.

It should not surprise for anyone to know that dark spirits are common in the world. Thousands of people have come into with evil spirits. I do believe that they have no real power to offer. They are nothing more than deceptive spirits with an agenda.

I was already “awakened” as I saw it since I felt I had strong insight into the meaning of life and the nature of reality. I was sadly mistaken. I discovered that the path to Illumination is very different from the path of enlightenment. The path of enlightenment is the attainment of spiritual growth, a path that had been hidden from me because I was blinded by a desire for the higher truths. The path of Illumination looks for esoteric knowledge found in the higher worlds. Enlightenment is found when a person goes within for the answers.

When a person begins to explore his or her inner world for the first time, it can be mentally exhausting. There are emotional land mines stored within the deep recesses of our memory. These are issues that we hide from ourselves in order to avoid pain. In fact, we may never experience them, unless we are forced to.

Through this transformative process, I learned that I know remarkably little about the universe. My eyes were opened and my consciousness expanded. I realized there is much more going on in the universe than I ever could have imagined. It seems that humans are resolving conflicts and trauma not only in this life, but also in past lives. It also occurs in multiple lives and alternate realities. When we resolve a conflict in this life, we may also be resolving conflicts in many other lives simultaneously. In making this discovery, I realized that the real power is not to be found in the universe but by the work that we do in improving ourselves in this life.

I realize now that I am extremely limited in my ability to explain the nature of the universe in my metaphysical writings. The information I am now receiving and experiencing are beyond my understanding. I attempted to explain my experience as metaphysical theories like “The Shared Supportive Reality Experience. After writing this article, I realized that attempting to explain spiritual phenomena only serves to confuse the issue.

Even in explaining my encounter with the shadow person, I can only accurately describe the event; I cannot explain what it means. Although I will continue to write about metaphysics, I will no longer do so with the intention of solving life’s great mysteries. I realize I was doing this in vain. It is not possible for anyone to achieve the highest level of knowledge since the Collective Consciousness itself is continually learning.

The Age of Consciousness and the Great Awakening

I do see massive changes taking place in the world. I am aware of the paradigm shift or transformation that many people have been talking about. The experience I just described was the transformation hitting me. I was transformed in a positive way. And yes it was painful. It also required a lot of introspection. This transformative process will continue for as long I am alive.

This transformative process is also affecting the Global Consciousness or the Mass Mind.

The Paradigm Shift that is unfolding in the world is intended to bring about personal and spiritual growth. I would call it a Great Awakening. That does not mean a global awakening will occur, nor does it necessarily mean the end of the human race. The outcome of this paradigm shift depends on our response or reaction to its effects.

The world was not meant to prepare for this event. If people had knowledge of it’s coming, the event would not have a beneficial effect on us. My intuitive sense tells me this. I should not have to discuss what is happening in the world. It’s plainly clear by reading the headlines. Most people are aware of what is happening. They are just afraid to acknowledge it.

It’s my opinion that as the transformation unfolds most people will experience the physical manifestation of it first. The reason for this is that people generally choose to focus on the material aspect of reality.

The Paradigm Shift was not sent into the world as a punishment, but rather as a way of bringing attention to our condition. This means that people will be required to examine their inner selves just as I did. It is a global transformative process in that it will open our eyes. It will force us to deal with our issues rather pretending they do not exist. It is symbolic of the alchemical process which was historically concerned with turning lead into gold. This transformation is truly a human alchemical process.

This transformative process is about healing. In order to deal with the problems of the world, we will need to start taking responsibility for what we have created in our own lives.
