That book of the Rosicrucians, "The Chymical Marriage of Christian Rosencruetz Anno 1459" is dullsville, and sooo boooring. Ohmygoodness! I had read it before and found it retarded even back then. But this time I was reading a book by Arthur Edward Waite published in 1887 called "The Real History of the Rosicrucians"and I liked his writing. In fact I couldn't read that stupid Rosicrucian wedding again, so I skipped over it, and on page 203 of the PDF of Waite's book, I found another interesting book, because on this page a footnote said:
"According to Eliphas Levi, the Astral Light, i.e. the substance diffused through infinity, and
Yea, soon as I read that I felt I had to check out the book, because I already experienced that structure of two different beings after the death of a few different people I knew in my life. I thought it was strange seeing from the same individual I had known, a one low entity that was really animalistic-like or even possessed, and another one who was moving far from, and in some cases already far off this realm into another and were a very beautiful lovely being, and one being was, from the dream that I saw him in, actually golden hued all over, super tall and slender like an angel, whereas in this world his body was short and fat. And in the same dream, right after I saw him leave, smiling and walking up into the air disappearing as he went, I turned to look and there down on the ground was the replica of his physical form, but he was a nasty creep in that corpse shell, towards me. I got away from that thing, is what it seemed to be, and left the dream. About a month later, the being had passed away. They had been bed ridden, and I knew they were leaving but I didn't know when, and I wanted to know ahead of time so I wasn't so shocked. Well it certainly gave me a relief to know he went way up there and was really different from what his body looked like, an angel I think! I don't know, just really beautiful.
So, Mysteries of Magic by Eliphas Levi, is the next book I'm going to check out.

God. Just think about the complexity of a superego trying to make you live up to some type of ideal for your ego, but all of it is false.
Meaning, your true self is shackled and chained inside your body to just monotonously endure, because your superego that came from your brainwashed-mindmanipulated parents and society, is judging you before-hand, pushing prodding expecting. So what you need in a situation like this is to be courageous. Your true self has no laws and limitations to it because it is already perfect. And all it needs to do is to BE, to share, to experience. There is no way of judging something so elusive as the True Being. That is why it is so complex to look at this kind of arrrangement. Derangement would be more like it.
Great work by Michael Tsarion in the Episode 91 podcast, "Great Women." Great man. I tell ya. Check it out.
That is like fucking beautiful. I love this guy. Excerpt at:

"A great inner fight is going on. Man is being split, your first consciousness is born out of a power struggle, both on the boys and the girls and so on. And then there's anxiety and stress and all that identification, all of these different complexes raging within. And, don't you see what we're saying? is that the pseudo self is a compensation for that. It's a mask that one adopts and puts on. Because, to cover up...this, this deep suffering and unrest that's within. Because so many of us do it, we become the society that then endorses the whole process, thereby creating even a further rift, a further divide between the man's True Self and his social persona. Or, in hard Freudian terms; conscience and superego. Superego's in charge. That's very troublesome, problematic. Conscience should be in charge. It's a fight between the two for dominion over the psyche. That conflict, right? Between superego and conscience, parallels the earlier one, between the parents; the power struggle over the psyche of the child....how much of that child's self expression will be allowed and so on."
Wow. That is excellent. I feel like watching a great thriller movie with a brilliant little child who out does their parents in every way, hahaha, without them knowing any of it. Hahaha!
The Casting of a Shadow is...
15:18
"But if you're coming at it from a Jungian point of view, she just said hey, you know, this is real shadow work. Because actually you're getting rid of the shadow. This up-grading, this stepping into your self-esteem, this heroism concept isn't frivolous or trivial, it's essential. Right? it's the whole story about the one against the many. And that's where the many check out, they don't want to know anything about what she's talking about, right? But this is a message to the one, to the individual. But as I said, in Jungian terms it would mean, not just the lowering of stress and self-criticism, but the shadow will be transformed because the shadow is all of the different-- it's just a catch-phrase, it's just a catch-all term that represents all the parts of you that you've been trained not to like. Right? a whole dynamic in which there's an editing and a censoring going on. The superego, that's what that is. The superego is the means. So even if you think of the shadow as a shadow-realm, or an aspect of the personality, it's a shadow, it's being cast by something. Right, see, so it's the superego that's casting into shadow. Think of it more as a realm.
So this upgrading that she's talking about has an enormous psychological implication. To not do it, to remain under the power of the superego, Ayn Rand is aware, even though she doesn't use these psychological terminologies, she's very aware that the un-heroic person, the altruist alright, the collectivist, his psychic dynamics [I just love that term, "psychic dynamics"] is affecting his political ideas. So the leader, and the party, and the system that people vote for, it's all based in this characterological aspect. The way that one values or devalues themselves has enormous social consequences."

When the soul is separated from the body, it necessarily
changes its environment, since it changes its envelope.
The individual falls into his final sleep, and lapses into a
species of dream before awaking on the other side of life.
Each one then beholds, in a sweet vision or in an appalling
nightmare, the paradise or perdition he believed in during
his mortal existence. Those who are subject to nightmare
can form some conception of the horror of the infernal
visions which are the chastisement of an atrocious creed,
and which take hold of the superstitiously credulous and
the ascetically fanatical above all. Imagination has created
its own tormentors, and in the delirium which follows
death these monsters confront the soul with a frightful
reality, surround, attack, and tear it to pieces, seeking to
devour it in every way. The sage, on the contrary, is welcomed
by pleasing visions; he imagines that he beholds
his former friends approaching him and smiling. All this,
however, is but a dream, as we have said, and the soul does
not fail to awake from it. Then it has changed its environment.
It has departed this life clothed only in its astral
form, it ascends of itself above the atmosphere, as the air
rises above the water when it escapes from a broken vial.
The atmospheric air becomes solidified beneath the feet of
its infinitely more ethereal envelope, the weight of which
varies, however, in different persons, and while some cannot
rise above their new earth-plane, others, on the contrary,
ascend and soar at pleasure in space like the eagle.
But as nothing can enter Heaven save that which comes
from Heaven, the divine spirit must ultimately return alone
into the empyrean,* and thus two corpses are left by it in
the earth and in the atmosphere, the one terrestrial and
elementary, the other aerial and sidereal-the one already
inert, the other still animated by the universal movement
of the soul of the world, but destined to die gradually,
being absorbed by the astral energies which produced it.
The terrestrial body is visible, the other is unseen by earthly
eyes in life, and can only be perceived by the application of
the Astral Light to the Translucid, as we have explained
elsewhere.
