Dualism of the Human Condition, Energy and Consumption

The Age of Poor Consumption

All stimuli that we consume imprints itself upon our energetic field therefore it is tethered to us and emanates within us and outwardly. These stimuli include factors of our lives such as our thoughts, the content we consume (social media, music, movies, videos, imagery etc.), the food and drinks we consume, the drugs we consume, the social interactions we have with others and the things we choose to believe.

Despite how good of a person you tell yourself you are, if you are imprisoned by a consistent state of poor consumption you will always radiate to the world as a flawed person, maybe even a hypocrite. This is so, because humans at their core are energetic lifeforms that unconsciously pick up on the energy of others. Your aura as it were will always reflect to the world the true character of the individual it envelopes. The same is true for the wise individual as well or to be more specific to this context, the individual with proper consumption standards. That is to say an individual whose consumption is intuitive with one's purpose and guided by a higher power, a power that rises above the carnal and into the delicate yet all encompassing spiritual blanket that covers the world.

The wise individual understands that everything we open ourselves to becomes a part of us even if it is in the interim unnoticeable or subtle, we gradually are shaped by the things we consume on a consistent basis. This individual understands that this truth is the same truth for the wicked and the wise. The wicked persons poor consumption standards will give them a poor quality of life. The wise person's good consumption standards will give them a rich quality of life. Poor consumption standards mean consuming things that are not intuitive to your purpose and that are not guided by a higher power. Good consumption standards mean consuming things that are intuitive to one's purpose and guided by a higher power.

When we think of the higher power in the context of which I am writing, I am speaking of things that align with the order of good, things that constitute higher principalities, higher faculties and a higher discerning awareness. I may very well be speaking of the presence of God. I may indeed be speaking of not merely the presence of God but the integration of God’s wisdom into our cognitive consciousness. When I speak of not being guided by this higher power I speak of the individual who is guided by anything that is anti truth and anti self realization, which is the highest attainment of human need, according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

The challenge thus, as it were, is a challenge between beast and angel, the two entities that live within our human bodies that we contest with everyday of our lives. The beast pulls at you to go one way whilst the angel that lives within you tells you to go another way. The beast can represent our carnal animal nature, whilst the angel in this context represents our higher spiritual nature. If we are not made aware that these two forces exist within us, we will always be torn in darkness by this conflict. We have to be made aware that this battle is happening, that is the first point of resolving this dualism between beast and God that afflicts the human condition so greatly.

Thus the challenge as it were is for us to tame this beast and to develop the angel. But only once the beast is tamed, the angel can be developed. You can not develop an angel if a beast lives within you as well, just as you can not develop an upright child if there is conflict in the home between man and woman. Or as Biblical scripture tells us, you can not serve two masters at once. Thus, the beast must be tamed and brought to heel, so that the angel has room to develop and grow within you. The beast represents all of your carnal desires, unresolved emotions, animal instincts, all of your anger, all of your jealousy, all of your egoic pleasure pursuits, all of your guilt, shame and impotence. The angel represents the good qualities of the human spirit, the wisdom of God, the guided voice of peace and wisdom and an impenetrable moral resolve.

If the beast has overtaken you, it matters not how spiritual you portray yourself to your peers through aesthetics and through meaningless words, you will always be just what you are, a beast who cloaks themselves in spiritual garment or as biblical scripture tells us, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Though I urge that you hear these words, the one who is a living angel is known through his actions and through his deeds. Observe man, observe woman, study human beings, you will see that no man can hide their true selves for long, everyone always makes their true selves known at some point. The good man ultimately will be known as good and although the wicked may get away with being perceived as good, eventually they will be known.

To all that have eyes to see and ears to listen, fill your senses with things that enrich the angel within you. Do not feed the beast, it will only make him stronger and hungrier until the beast consumes you and then nothing will be left of you. You will be a hollow shell of lost potential and a nightmare of weary. So begin at once to understand these words and the wisdom therein, understand that we all carry within us a light and a shadow, an angel and a beast, a hero and a coward and so on. This is the reality of the human condition, that we must not complain about but that we must understand and overcome.

The work is yours to do and yours only, you know yourself better than anyone in this world, you know the demons you have, the skeletons that are in your closet, the poor and unhealthy physical and psychological habits you have, you know all of these things whether you speak on them or not. You can fool others but you can not fool yourself nor fool God. Begin at once to overcome the beast within you, begin at once to shine a light on your shadow, begin at once to initiate the hero's journey arch of your life. You have the power within you, you simply have to develop it and continue to develop it and continue to align yourself with the order of good. Peace is yours to have, wisdom is your birthright, God flows through your blood and all that is good on earth awaits you.
