I exist on many levels in many forms of which this physical is but one and the lowest in vibration.
Everything has form. Creations such as civilizations, all forms of systems be they social systems, governmental systems, religious systems, etc.  Thought form entities eg negative thought forms are dark entities, the bodies we wear have a life of their own. All work with or against each other in our lives internally or externally in the world. So we are constantly tussling with aspects of ourselves, of the groups we belong to. Humanity is a living throbbing, growing, degenerating form life in its own right. So the focus should be on what are we creating? Light filled or dark creations. Our dark creations and the dark creations of humanity weigh heavily upon us, bearing us ever downwards and our light filled creations lift us up into more light. If we want outa here we have to conscientiously work with light and light thoughts, nary a negative or dark or ill thought towards self or others. It seems so simple yet we struggle with this in this polarized world. Years on the spiritual path and I still succumb to deepest negativity for a couple of years when all the light knowledge failed me - I just did not connect. So I have discovered this is a real possibility and also understand how the initiate can without his conscious awareness slip into the dark path along the line. There has to be a single pointed focus on what it is we are trying to achieve. Getting into too much knowledge and too many practices tends to make one forget the pertinent points of spiritual work.
There has to be a refocus daily on what it is we are trying to achieve. Light and light filled thoughts create light filled forms that serve to enlighten us, liberate us and those around us. This is easily said but within us is lifetimes long accumulation of darkness and negativity especially from the deep dark past from which all of us have emerged to this point in time when with more light we are able to work off the past accumulations. Focusing on light and light creations is a daily single pointed spiritual practice that has no let up, no holidays, no excuses for in an instant that control can be lost. Every day we juggle with polar opposite emotions, actions, words, deeds, thoughts. As they arise, happen we have to enlighten, substitute with positive and light and loving thoughts, actions, speech, deeds. Every single one has to be addressed and transformed. Keep on keeping at till .... we are outa here for good.... lifetimes from now....at the latest! Happy enlightening 2014.
