Losing
the Human Form |
by
Kris Raphael |
"You
must lose your human form. . . A warrior
must drop the human form
in order to change, to really change. Otherwise
there is only talk about change. One cannot
change one iota as long as one holds on
to the human form. . . Warriors, must be
IMPECCABLE in their effort to change, in
order to scare the human form and shake
it away. After years of impeccability a
moment will come when the form cannot stand
it any longer and it leaves."--don
Juan talking to Carlos
To
grow, evolve and ascend we know we must drop
the human form. But what is the human form?
The
human form is often misunderstood. Some misinterpret
the human form as that which makes us human.
This is far from the case. The human form actually
prevents the Authentic Self, that which is our
pure humanness as it comes from energy into form,
from being actualized.
In
simple terms, the human form is the body of pretension.
It pretends to be WHO we are. It is the false
personality. It is the false masks and faces
we show people when we are actually feeling very
different inside. In some Schools of Direct Knowledge,
the human form is called the ego. The ego exists
as an energy in all of humanity, and is thoroughly
enmeshed in it. We see the human form, or ego
in operation in government, in schools, in churches,
in families, and of course in each of us individually.
Whenever there is a lie, or a pretending that
something does or does not exist, or a pretending
that something is different than it is with the
intent of deception or pretension, the human
form or ego is in full force.
The
human form begins to grab hold of us from a very
young age. If we are a young child and are hungry
and cry; and our mother or father tells us to
be quiet, and we do in order to please them,
we have just changed ourselves in an attempt
to avoid, change or hide how we really feel,
i.e. tummy hurts because we are hungry.
A
young child is constantly changing self (pretension)
in order to appease and please their primary
caregivers, teachers, siblings, peers and so
on. It isn't long before the human form or ego
has become the norm.
When
our center is in the human form, we are disconnected
from the Authentic Self – that part of us that
is an extension of the Dreamer. The Dreamer cannot
connect with the human form as it is not real.
When we are under the spell of the human form
(and 100% of humans are in this timeframe until
they have done considerable spiritual work, we
simply cannot experience the Nagual as it is.
While in ego, we cannot connect and live from
the Essential Self. Instead we live in a state
of identification with the many `I's of the false
personality.
So
how do we free ourselves from the human form?
The answer to this is really quite simple, but
it is not easy. Most spiritual truths are simple,
however they are not easy. Don Juan gives Carlos
a clue in the quote at the beginning of this
dissertation. It has to do with impeccability.
What
does impeccable mean? It literally means to be
without sin. Or to be without transgressions,
in this case transgression against the Essential
Self, which embodies the Intent or our purpose
for coming into body.
To
live without transgression against the Essential
Self requires us to think, feel, and act in complete
alignment to it. If we are in ego or under the
human form we are in falseness and cannot be
aligned to the Self. We must be integral. Our
thoughts, feelings and acts must be in alignment,
i.e. one with the Self.
For
most, until they have done sufficient work on
the path, they are not consciously connected
to the Self. They have not sufficiently increased
the depth of their awareness. Between their awareness
and the Essential Self lies the subconscious
with all of its wounding and places we have hidden
from self.

So
what is the way out? The way out is through
integrity. To be integral we must have integrity.
In other words we must live in brutal honesty.
The ego or human form cannot exist in the
light of honesty as honesty breaks pretension.
When one is honest, one cannot pretend to
be something they are not, or to show they
are feeling one way when in fact under the
surface they are feeling entirely different.
When
we are completely honest we allow for the possibility
to progress in the first Toltec Mastery – The
Mastery of Awareness. When we are aware of something
in self, but do not like what we see and attempt
to hide, avoid, or deny it, we have killed our
awareness and instead fed the human form.
When,
instead we have the courage to face our demons
head on, to become aware of where we are at,
not where we want to be, we have a chance to
break free of the human form.
One
of the favorite abodes of the human form is the
mental body. Why? Because the mental body can
justify anything. It is very easy for the mental
body to pretend and lie. On the other hand, it
is much more difficult for the emotional body
to lie. It is much
more difficult to hide how we feel than what
we are thinking.
The
human form convinces us that if we understand
something, we have grown or evolved. This is
one of its biggest lies. We can read a book and
`understand' how to drive a car, for example,
but until we actually get in a car and drive
it we will never come to `know' how to drive
a car.
Too
many read this book or that. They are full of
dead knowledge and inventory. The human form
convinces them that if they can only learn a
little more they will have grown and evolved.
Just the opposite is true. Toltecs emphasize
eliminating our inventory for a reason. Inventory
only makes it easier for the human form to fool
us into self-importance and believing we are
some place we are not in our growth. This is
further made worse by our society domestication.
We are taught that the more knowledge we have
the better and more intelligent we are.
Being
brutally honest is simple, but difficult. The
human form will try to trick you at every turn. However,
if you are diligent, with impeccable Intent,
you have the possibility to break free of the
human form and experience what is Real in Self
and a conscious connection with the Dreamer.
Breaking free of the human form is the first
step to true
|
freedom.

and Light,

Question:
I need help starting my business, I need a name, and a
business structure that will be profitable. Help! I
keep planning and planning, but I need to manifest
this. -Jed
Hi
Jed
It
is always important to tap into the energy of what
you are working with, as energy always is and provides
a blueprint for everything. The most important thing
to do is to find the energetic sensation of what you
desire your business to be. For example, if you desire
to be successful and create abundance with your business,
then you will want to tap into these energies. From
here, see if the energy suggests a name for you. Otherwise
you can look for a name that you feel resonates with
the energetic sensation of that success and abundance.
Love & Light,
Kalyn
To
learn more about abundance and to help you bring abundance
into your life, the Manifesting Abundance Workbook and CD Process
can help you learn to access the energy of abundance
and help you learn abundant habits, bringing abundance
into your life. Visit http://spiritspiritspirit.com/abundance/abundanceseries.htm
Dear Kris
I'm here because I know that great patience is one of
the virtues of people who found true love. I'd like you
to comment the following.
You said that
it doesn't matter if flyers exist or not and that in
either case one must work hard to grow, evolve,
raise frequency. But, who is to grow, evolve and raise
frequency? Certainly not the Dreamer. And if we discard
the flyer, who is left? A 3rd kind of self? I think not.
The so called ego or lower-self is anything else but
the flyer's mind, the foreign installation. "Our" daily
mind talks to herself, "we need work hard" and
herself answer, "yes"; she is tricky! I feel
that the work to expels it is up to the Dreamer; the
Dreamer is the real player and it's HE that must vanquish
the flyer and come back to the house HE once rented to
the predator. If so, self-presence would be a natural
and permanent thing, as well as knowingness and seeingness.
I certainly don't know all this, but have a kind of feeling
about it.
Love,
Roberto
Hello Roberto,
Thank you for your question. Yes, you are correct, The
ego self, or human form is tricky. It consists of everything
we know. This is why we must drop what we know, and why
Toltecs put so much emphasis on detaching form our inventory.
As for your question, WHO is to grow and evolve - the
who is Self. We can find a clue in what don Juan says
to Carlos in The Eagle's Gift,
" Losing the human form brings the freedom to remember
your Self."
The Toltec path of three Masteries is exactly this work
- the work of remembering our Self. The first two Masteries
deal specifically with the false personality, human form
or ego self. We must first become aware of what it is
through the Mastery of Awareness. Then, in the Mastery
of Transformation we go about the process of dismantling
it. As we dismantle the ego self we begin to uncover
the Self - that which we truly are. When we speak of
us being the dream, dreamed by the Dreamer we are speaking
of the essential Self. The Dreamer is many times larger
and more powerful than we are. In our particular lifetime
the Dreamer, like a hologram, extends a piece of itself
into the tonal. This piece is what we are in this lifetime.
We have been born into a dense timeframe. The dysfunction
of humanity at this time is painful. We are all wounded.
The false personality is formed at an early age as a
defense mechanism against the pain. We also take on the
energy of the human form. As we grow older, the false
personality and human form surround and smother the essential
Self. By the time we are 6 or 7 years old, most of us
have lost touch with our true nature - our essential
Self.
I sometimes say that true spiritual evolution only begins
when we embark on the Mastery of Intent. In the Mastery
of Intent we live with our awareness firmly planted in
the Nagual, and continually align our essential Self
to the essences of the Nagual. The essential Self GROWS
from life experience, and EVOLVES the growth by aligning
to the Intent which flows through the Dreamer. But before
we begin the Mastery of Intent, we must free ourselves
from the ego self and human form. Until we do, all that
we know and perceive is nothing more than the ego self
and human form reflecting back to us. We believe we are
growing, but all we are really doing is strengthening
our ego self, which has all of the resources of the mental
body at its command. We can only get to the Dreamer THROUGH
the essential Self. And we can only get to our essential
Self when we have, at least to a major degree, broken
down and dismantled the ego self and human form.
Love and Light,
Kris
Dear Kris & Kalyn,
Thanx for your reminders to stay ruthless and your suggestions
to become impeccable. to be impeccable is a trully grand
idea. freedom...
- Have you heard of the krishna consciousness movement,
and how do you feel about those teachings. also how
do you compare the Toltec path to the beliefs of religions
such as Buddhism, Taoism, and Islam?
-Stalking Owl
Hello Stalking Owl,
Thank you for your questions. As for the Krishna Consciousness
movement, I know of them. I used to enjoy the meals prepared
at their temple on Venice Boulevard on Sundays when I
lived in Los Angeles.
Whether it
is the Krishna Consciousness Movement or the Schools
of Knowledge and religions you mentioned,
most all have their roots in "direct knowledge." Direct
Knowledge or "knowingness," as I call it, when
applied can cause movement in our personal growth and
evolution. The problem is that Direct knowledge cannot
be accessed when we are full of beliefs and existing
knowledge - what Toltecs call "inventory." Also,
when one takes direct knowledge and turns it into a belief
system or a philosophy it loses its ability to impact
personal growth and evolution. Knowledge and beliefs
bind us and stick our assemblage point, limiting our
perception.
It doesn't
matter what School of Knowledge it is, when the direct
knowledge is turned into a belief system,
or added to our already existing knowledge in our inventory,
its power is lost. This is just as true for Toltec knowledge.
Many, in fact most people, when they hear the Toltec
knowledge they just associate it to their existing inventory.
This is what we are taught to do by society and school.
As soon as we associate "fresh" knowledge to
our existing knowledge, we change it and it loses its
power. Then it becomes no more than a belief system or
a philosophy.
What we want
to do is break what Toltecs refer to as "self-reflection." I
have talked about self-reflection specifically in previous
newsletters. Until we break self-reflection we are unable
to perceive essences of the Nagual, and higher aspects
of Self - our Dreamer. Our flow should always be from
the top down. From essences of the Nagual, down through
the human tonal and into our outer world. What most do
is they take the inventory of the human tonal up to the
Nagual and pervert the essences of the Nagual. They believe
they are experiencing essences of the Nagual, but in
fact are only experiencing their own self-reflection.
The truth
is, when describing personal growth and evolution I
could use many different Schools of Knowledge. The
Schools are only the framework. My non-physical teachers
didn't use the Toltec structure. At this point in time
I use the terms and concepts of the Toltec School. One
reason I use it is because it still has a "freshness" to
it. Buddhism, Taoism and the like have been infused into
mass consciousness for so long that it is difficult to
break them out of the inventory of mass consciousness
that we all carry. Eventually, Toltec knowledge will
also follow the road that other Schools of Knowledge
have. It too will become entrenched in the density of
mass consciousness making it more difficult to break
out of our inventory. There are already those who argue
and debate passages out of Castaneda's books, just like
others do with passages out of the Bible.
When you operate
from the dimension of the Nagual it is unstructured.
There are no words, thoughts, ideas,
beliefs, philosophies, religions and so on. At this level
the "way" or school doesn't matter. We give
essences of the Nagual structure in the form of thoughts,
language, concepts and so on when we bring the essences
into our first body of structure in the human tonal -
the mental body. For most, their center of awareness
is in mental body, which in most only reflects itself.
As multi-dimensional beings we must free our awareness
so that it can move freely between the structured tonal
and unstructured Nagual.
Love and Light,
Kris and Kalyn
Dear Kris and Kalyn,
I have a question: What would you recommend to others
going through a Kundalini Rising. I know many having
a very difficult time with this process, thanks for you
comments and great newsletter.
Linnea
Hello Linnea,
Thank you for your question. A Kundalini Rising, as
with any energetic process, speeds up and shakes loose
areas we have suppressed and repressed. As we grow up
we repress painful experiences. By the time we are adults
we have a whole lifetime of suppressed experiences that
are below our awareness. Running high energy shakes this
loose and brings it to the surface.
This is one of the reasons why we begin with the Mastery
of Awareness, then move to the Mastery of Transformation
and then progress to the Mastery of Intent. The Mastery
of Intent involves intense energy work of the second
attention. Through the Mastery of Awareness and Transformation
we steadily process through our suppressed wounding.
By the time we embark on the Mastery of Intent we have
processed enough of our shadows through that the effect
of running high energy through our field is not such
a shock to the system.
As for Kundalini
Rising, if it is a true rising it will speed up your
process. But it can cause one's "stuff" to
surface too quickly leading to a loss of reference points.
I have personally experienced a loss of reference points
as has my wife. Losing our reference points is a very
uncomfortable experience as it feels like one is insane.
It is easier, and sometimes less devastating, to take
things in gradients. If we bite off more than we can
chew the experience can be unpleasant.
This isn't meant to discourage you from doing whatever
you feel is best for you. One thing we must always remember
is that there is no one path for everyone. We all need
to find what works best for ourselves. Finding what works
best for ourselves, rather than relying on what another
tells us is best for us, leads to self-empowerment.
Love and Light,
Kris and Kalyn

Corner

Be
Impeccable with your Word
For
any of us who either have children or have been teachers,
we understand that being impeccable with our word is very
important to do. Not only do you have to mean what you
say and say what you mean to children, but you also have
to live what you have said. Children quickly pick up our
mannerisms, behaviors and contradictions. They are a great
mirror for seeing whether or not we are really being impeccable
with our word, and being impeccable with our word is a
whole package; it also includes what we live in life. |

Mastery
of Awareness - AUDIO
COURSE on CDs: An Alternative |
|
For
those who are unable to work directly with a teacher
or who just wish to supplement this work, Kris and
Kalyn have created an alternative, the Mastery of Awareness
Audio Course on CDs. The
CDs include not only lessons, but also energetic, meditative
processes, and also live commentary from Kris and Kalyn.
You can listen to the CDs in your car (not the meditative
processes please) or in the convenience of your home.
TESTIMONIAL: Here
are some testimonials. (Thank you Mel and Matthew!)
"Hi
K2!
I love the Mastery of Awareness CD's! Kris and Kalyn,
your commentaries have really helped. The lessons
on tape put them in a different dimension for me (out of
cyber space and into a voice)...one with more physical
aspects. I love your voices too. Anyway, I
listen to them in the car. . .so that makes me happy to
spend that time in the car this way.
with Love and Light,
Mel"
"The
CDs add a whole extra dimension. I like to learn by
reading, and when I listen to Kris and Kalyn on the
CDs, it takes me out of my pattern - which is what
this is all about. I have also never had much success
with meditation exercises that I read. The guided
exercises are a help to me, because I can release having
to remember what I read and just listen to Kris. Writing
about it makes my left big toe tingle for some reason.  " ~Matthew
