We can know our enemy only if we know ourselves. There is no other way, because if we don’t know ourselves, we won’t know if someone is introducing false perceptions into our consciousness. If we accept them, we gain a false knowledge of the enemy and may mistake him for a friend. We have to find out who inside us is pushing us the perceptions from which we finally interpret some knowledge, for example about our enemy, about our friend, or about someone whom we consider to be in our favor. We have to find out what those sensations are supposed to tell us and for what purpose. We must verify their credibility and truthfulness.
First, we have to read the perception correctly, then interpret it correctly, and then the perception becomes information. We have to put together the information correctly with other related information. We assemble partial knowledge like a puzzle and then verify it in real life situations, to see if it is confirmed or not and with what result. Then we’ll see where it all leads us.
Information from the spiritual realms must somehow reach the consciousness of a person, the human soul. What are the options? In what way do extrasensory perceptions reach our consciousness? Who or what is giving us the information? There are many questions, but there are also many answers, although perhaps not completely direct, but those that show us the way to get to know someone or something that sends informational sensations to us through various channels in our own interior:
- Thoughts
- Thought feelings
- Feeling thoughts
- Voices in the head
- The voice in the heart chakra
- Feeling voices
- Emotions and emotional feelings on different chakras
- Physical sensations on the body (tearing, prickling, freezing, tingling, vibrating sensations in different parts of the body)
- Mental pictures and movies
- Astral images, projection
- Dreams
- Astral travel
- Lucid dreams
- Spirits of the dead
- Intuitive perceptions
- Words and actions of other people directed at us (sometimes also at others, which we witness); and our extrasensory responses to them
- Life situations that lead us somewhere and maybe teach us something; and our extrasensory responses to them
- Synchronicity, special phenomena, “coincidences” and coincidences; and our extrasensory responses to them
- Various combinations and variations of the above
The perceptions received through these channels come from different levels and from different entities/beings. Sometimes they come directly from the upper levels above the Matrix and sometimes indirectly from the lower ones. It is usually mixed, and therefore the division below serves only as a simplified illustration of the complexity of informational perceptions arriving in human consciousness:
Black Serpent (devil-demon, Lower Self)
The perceptions that lead us to overreact to external situations come from the Lower Self. The Lower Self is the dark (sub)consciousness of pride, lust and hatred, greed, resentment and ill will, jealousy and envy. Many of us identify with this Lower Self, we also call it the Ego, which sits at the threshold of our consciousness. It easily grabs us, grabs our attention and leads us down the path of evil and negativity. Trapped in its power, we struggle in the darkness that is our own shadow, or the curse someone has placed upon us. If we were to divide the Ego into two parts, then a large part of the Ego is a part of the Lower Self and a smaller part is a part of the “false” Higher Self. The false “Higher Self” masquerades as a Spirit, and at the same time it is an Artificial Spirit of the Matrix.
Both the Lower Self and the false “Higher Self” come from the left and the right and manifest themselves in talking voices, thoughts, and other mental sensations. Many of them are fake, and picking out something true from them can be like looking for pieces of silver in a pile of dung.
This part of our Self is expressed in qualities such as selfishness, bad decisions, anger, tendencies toward harmful behavior, etc. The Lower Self is very focused on the material side of life – it is the part of us that is selfish, shallow and contains our “guilty pleasures” or “destructive tendencies”. This side of our psyche is also shaped to a great extent by societal norms, even those that conflict with the true nature of the Higher Self.
But the Spirit also speaks to us from a high level above the Matrix, if it needs to communicate something specific to the soul. The real Higher Self represents the Spirit and it manifests itself through a higher, non-specific intuition, but also communicates a little through the false “Higher Self”. Experience and knowledge are necessary for perception and acceptance. Caution is never enough, and it is best to either accept or not accept the information obtained in this way, let it float freely somewhere in the middle and not anchor it in your consciousness in the form of beliefs.
When planning revenge, the Lower Self guides you when the motive is the joyous feeling of revenge and of the person you want to revenge suffering. (False) Higher Self guides you when there is a learning effect for the person; when you act on the basis of the desire to “give her a taste of her own medicine“. Both are sometimes mixed together, and a righteous element of the Spirit may also be assigned to it. If such a situation occurs to us and we consciously observe our own Self, then through self-reflection we can find out to what extent we feel good when taking revenge on someone or want to teach them a lesson. From this we can find out how much our Lower Self is influencing us.
White Serpent (devil-angel, “false” Higher Self)
It is said that the devil speaks in the left ear and angels speak in the right ear. Perhaps it was once like that, however, in my experience it is mixed up. Talking with a thought or mental voice may be preceded by ringing or whistling in one ear. But the truth is that these entities work together, it is one and the same; at the same time it’s divided, it’s like a game of good cop (white serpent) and bad cop (black serpent). The black serpent is dark, that’s obvious at first glance. The white serpent may outwardly look like a bright angel, but it is still a serpent.
The serpent is sometimes said to be a symbol of wisdom and knowledge. It is not literally so, it is a misleading ambiguity to promote mythological, religious or symbolic serpents. It is similar to when you step on a viper in a grassy meadow and it bites you, and from this experience you gain the knowledge of wisdom to be careful where you tread. The wisdom is also to be even more wary of vipers, that mimic the colors of the terrain, than of holy beings that masquerade as a white serpent. It’s still a serpent, and it’s either a strangler or it’s poisonous, like a black serpent. Maybe it’s even more poisonous because it pretends. Beware of white serpents, there are more than enough such celebrities among us and also in the earthly spiritual pop-culture.
However, the white serpent of the “false” Higher Self has also another meaning. The Spirit sometimes also speaks through him when he needs to communicate something specific and useful to the human soul through one of the channels of informational sensations. These perceptions can give distorted information, or even true information, sometimes given with a questionable intention, some perceptions mediated by the white serpent can be really true. Knowing how it works and verifying it with your own experience and practice will help you discern it.
