Coming Down to Earth

Coming Down to Earth

After aeons of traveling through space, it isn’t always easy to pack the whole of what you are into a tiny little Earth vessel. Many spiritually advanced souls have difficulties traversing the idiosyncrasies of physical creation because they long to be immersed solely in the freedom of consciousness. The complications of the body and the world do not seem to apply to the heart and the pulsing lotus blossom existence. Somewhere deep within every circumstance is a lesson to extract and assimilate. Misery flees when understanding illuminates awareness in the moment.

Considering the chakras, an old soul can be born with a well-developed heart center and an open third eye. They still have to go through what everyone else does, so often their lower chakras will be messed up with brainwashing, emotional trauma, and sexual misunderstanding. The sensitive spirit will suffer even more than the burgeoning soul because they will feel the pain more poignantly and in many cases there is no one there to explain what is happening. They will then want to disconnect and live only in dreamland instead of here and there simultaneously.

The anguish of the artist/musician/philosopher can be explained in this manner. Aware of and connected to the beautiful things in life amidst a crowd that seems hostile and violent, they feel isolated. Throughout Western Art there is a thorough mixing of beauty and pain. Some even think the pain is necessary to fuel the fires of creation, but it is not so. Creation comes spontaneously from the Joy of being alive and cognizance of the gift of life. Naturally as part of the universe we have our own song to express.

Deprogramming the mind, healing the emotions and cultivating a healthy attitude toward sex will make more room in the vessel for the spirit to come down. Then rather than hovering around the body, it will shine through it. Bad habits will cease and demons will lose their ability to influence because there is no open space in the body to jump into. If the soul is vacant, possession will happen. It is really a quite frequent occurrence. Luckily in most cases it is only for a fleeting sensation, but one should beware because if they allow it, the demon will make your home theirs.

With the help of spirit guides, ancestors, angels, and our own higher self, we can transform the blockages and establish a freely flowing connection to the universal source. Demons, though prevalent are generally very impotent little creatures. They lurk in the shadows and if there are none, they are nowhere to be found. We are very powerful divine beings that have come here to experience the wonders of Earth in a human body. No context can contain us. Let it all go and you will be free. Happiness comes as a byproduct of removing limitation.
