The diligent student must understand that the mind must go through *two* awakenings. One is of the spirit. One is of the mind. One is of darkness. One is of light. ![[IMG_3443.jpeg]] The [[third eye]] is a lens - and it sees differently through the left (feminine) and right (masculine) mirrors. To awaken to the light is to know the beauty and divine source of all creation. It is to understand the oneness of all that arises - and that's simultaneously occurring. To awaken to the dark is to know its machinations, the depths of its betrayal - the means of its deception. It is to know that for one to integrate their darkness - they must first make it conscious. They must *understand* it through acceptance. And see how it serves the soul. Most journeymen and self-proclaimed spiritual practitioners default to this state, where their rejection of their own darkness, their lies, hypocrisies and so on is so great - that they cannot possibly place them within the same illusory world of Light they've worked to form. The unawakened mind cannot comprehend conspiracy, because it is led to believe that lies are shaped by something as simple as men in dark cloaks in circular, dimly lit rooms. Conspiracy is inspired by a simple formula, in truth - when the interests of the powerful few align. No cohesion, direct contact or even a silent word is needed for conspiracy to occur. Mutual and shared interest is the ultimate form of hivemind communication. It cannot be traced, it cannot be judged, it cannot even be conceptualized by most people that are abused by it. Imagining figures of light and rainbows and so on will never serve you - if you have not gone into the belly of the beast. If you have not traversed the underworld of your own psyche - your visions will remain just that - dreams. One must know the extent of the dark they wield. This is why the depth of the roots of the Sacred Tree of Life mirror the height of its power in ascension. There is no going up without first going down. The world is dark because it has something to teach you. It is up to you to decipher what that something is. I appreciate that you are full of love and light. But can you be that in a room full of horrors of your own making? Do think on that.
