Introducing myself

[Eden Workshops]

Hello

I am a 64-year-old male mystic, very genuine, I have experienced three powerful extensions of consciousness into the depths of my immortal soul, for I am an immortal, I am pure divine Spirit first of all so to me everything appears to possess the same value; i.e. everything is Spirit, being thus free from the illusion of the physical world I can concentrate my time on what is important to me, which is to do as my spiritual Father does and create beauty.

I used to be desperately lonely, nothing like not being understood to emphasise a feeling of loneliness, now I am less so, I am to all intents and purposes enlightened, though my soul is not yet perfect I am working on it.

I came to my enlightenment through three extensions of consciousness, the first when I was 33 when suddenly a very convincing Creation Diety that I call God was revealed in my imagination, this spiritual illumination was profoundly powerful, matter was transformed into Divine Spirit, I died to the physical world from that day, in fact using the terminology of Yoga I was "free from the illusion of objects" as far as I was concerned the day of judgement happened and in the Spirit I was found to be innocent, Jung called what inspires me the Hero archetype, only an intellectual like Jung could reduce the maker of Heaven and earth into a mental archetype, whatever you call it it is a very convincing God from where I am sitting.

Then inspired by the Hero archetype I descended into the underworld of my unconscious mind and defeated a terrible inner demon that had destroyed my life up to that point, that healing was the most painful event imaginable. It marked what Jung describes as the Marriage of the Psychic opposites, the healing changed my whole personality for the better, I also regained the ability to think, believe it or not up to the age of 42 I could not think at all.

Shortly after this, I declared myself a Saint in Heaven to the abbot of a Catholic monastery.

Once more inspired by Love I freed myself from my shadow once again where there had been supressed guilt and anger, I found deep compassion and spiritual pity, if you want to use Jungian analogy and think of me as being inspired by the Hero archetype, then according to legend after retiurning victorius from the underworld, he bears a deep psychological wound, well so do I, twice I have freed myself from my shadow, twice the light within me has inspired me to free myself from darkness, but some remains, and I am trying my best to deal with it, I am heavily into chakra healing at the moment, I listen to chanted chakra meditations throughout the day

I am in a state of permanent religious ecstasy and hard-won bliss, I have found Christ's Kingdom of Heaven, it is within the unconscious hearts and minds of us all. It is an interior life. The mind is the only organ that can perceive of such spiritual realities as God.

I dream of meeting someone who is enlightened, or a good psychologist, I joined a modern mystics forum but came away having not found someone who was really "aware", I post on the Jungian Creative Work facebook group and have learnt something.

I am still very isolated, but no longer so lonely for various reasons, and now I find myself posting on this forum, it seemed likely to prove more fruitful ground.

In good Spirit

Thank you Nephele that's very clever, because of the way my psyche has unfolded I have the intellect of a child, I would never have thought of it!

Warm Regards
