Crystalline Crown of Thorns

At this level in the game when we know that we are the creators, this power brings a responsibility. This information is not widely pervasive on the planet because the nature of our creative force in this world is only revealed to those who have an innerstanding of how to direct their creative force. Most people have an untrained mind that throws their creative energy into all kinds of negative forces, so in order for the universe to maintain balance, the power of people who don't have a trained mind is lessened. This is the natural order of things. With focus comes power to change yourself and the world around you. 

Inside of a human brain we have billions of magnetite crystals. Crystals are sentient living beings. They grow, replicate, think, communicate and create their own energy. We have been disconnected from the emotion and understanding of the crystals we each have. In ancient times they were tapped into their crystalline nature and did have psychic powers, telepathy, and healing powers. The crystals help to encapsulate your sprit in the avatar body with two other mechanisms. First, is your neural correlates of consciousness, which are three giant nerves that wrap around the inside of the skull that look like a crown of thorns. We all know Yeshuwa in the bible who had to put on the crown of thorns. This is a typification of what really is going on inside of our minds. We are all walking around with a crown of thorns that is responsible for receiving higher levels of consciousness. Jesus never said he was coming back, he said the Christ will return. Second, we have the neocortex. Neo like in the Matrix movie. (That movies is truth. Keanu is a choosen one.) The neocortex is the part of the brain where higher cognitive functioning originates. The combination of the crystals, neural correlates and neocortex help to encapsulate, temporarily in time, your spirit consciousness that is animating the avatar body. How are our crown of thorns in such disfunction?

Trauma. It feels so simple. The trauma is stored in the body and deregulates our nervous systems, and thus our crown of thorns. Unfortunately, the trauma researchers are mainly men who had the space in society to regulate their bodies and so they went on to write things like "The Body Keeps Score". High on weed and other substances so they could cope with the physiological arousal system without shame. Not the pregnant or nursing mothers. It was only when shame got introduced, and the War on Drugs, that it became apparent that only certain people are allowed to have access to the substances that help them regulate their nervous system so they function fine. Basically, only white cis men had access.

Now, it is mothers who are having to solve this problem for people. The ones who never got to be kids as children because we were the high achievers who now have kids we have to cope with. It couldn't be the men that could turn around and look back and offer a hand to all the high achieving women who got trapped in motherhood and had mental breakdowns because this system didn't work for us. The trauma researches did not take the time to figure out how this looked in women, and figure out that girls are more likely to push through this as children. "Wow, women just have all these autoimmune disorders. It's just crazy. I wonder why?" It is undiagnosed neurodivergence, trauma and nervous system disorders. Having kids triggers some trauma, because our bodies cannot handle these physiological demands without proper physical support. Making and raising humans makes physically taking care of ourselves so difficult. 

I have told Charly and Deven that mental health was not even talked about in the 80's and 90's. Then when it was talked about pharmaceuticals were pushed. Not plant medicine from the earth, but chemicals from large corporations. Throw on that the religious and societal rules regarding plant medicine, liquor stores on every corner, and opioids 120 per perscription and the women started to add trauma like a layer cake you have not seen. Our bodies are sacrificed on the alter of capitalism, then we go on to traumatize our children because our nerves are so shot. My stoner friends had more truth than any institution. "I believe in nature's laws. I just want to be free." Everything is one, if you know what I mean.

The 7 levels of spirituality in my path are as follows:

1. Mundane Level: This is the where spirituality is idle, waiting for the right chance to show its power. Most people spend their lives on this level wondering if there is life after death, if angels exist, or if ghosts are real. Like my friend who is the HSBC Global CIO who said upon the passing of his mom, "There is nothing after death. This is it."

2. Neophyte Level: This a crucial level of spirituality and portrayed in the Tarot deck, as the Fool. It is this amazing moment where we actually get a glimpse of real magic for the first time. This happened for me very young when I saw shadow people and had dreams that came true. 

3. Adept Level: This is the Magician in the Tarot. Although doubt may still be present, your awakening has made you realize the importance of nature, life, emotions and your passions. You start to care more about others, nature and your empathy grows. Most religious people get stuck here. Doing good by baptizing the dead but fundamentally missing the mark.

4. Apprentice Level: Here, we realize that what others think plays no role in what is true for us. This is the High Priestess card. The guilt, shame and fear dissipate as they are seen as manipulation tools to keep us in the first three levels of spirituality. This is the amazing time you learn to fall in love with your true self.

5. Seeker Level: Knowing the truth about the world makes you understand how little you actually know. This pushes you to get new books, new life tools and embark on your amazing journey to unlock your personal power. This is the time of awe and wonder at ancient civilizations, psychic abilities, and the ideas around other life outside of this planet. As my cousin Jason said, "God is an Alien." I could not believe that came out of that man's mouth, but he has spent years clandestinely studying Sumerian culture.

6. Master Level: Bridging the gaps in the material world with the help of your new powers. You start healing yourself, cleansing your karma, and helping others who seek your assistance. You are owning your powers and are guided by the divine on how to use those powers. This is where I started this post. We don't get these powers until we know how to use them correctly. Until we activate our personal crown of thorns, we are not a master Empress or Emperor.

7. Phoenix Level: This, my family, is an amazingly fulfilling state of awareness. You know you are part of the material world, but you somehow feel you don't belong on Earth. The magic of each day is astounding and you do question timeline jumping, dimensions and reality. 

When I say you get to live the magic of each day I mean in this Phoenix level. Gratitude is tricky state of living in, for there is a fine line between gratitude and imbecile ignorance. No matter how many times I was told in my ennui with life by others to just be grateful for what I had, I knew something was wrong. Something was missing. I could not live in level 3 type thinking and talk myself into well being via mantras of gratitude. Well, if you are so grateful and satisfied with the status quo there is a lack of curiosity. Hence a lack of growth. You are fine with your crystalline nature not being activated? Ok. I was not. My core knew there was so much more than what I had been taught to endure. There is so much more, and it is one of my most grateful things to have access to this now for myself and my family.
