For students of Franz Bardon...
In modern spirituality, the talk of healing the personality(commonly known as the ego) is familiar to everyone. But what about the practice of healing, and not merely the ideal of it? And what is healing anyway since we’re here? To heal means to repair a thing which has been injured. In acknowledging that an individual is engaged in healing, there is an automatic confession of injury/disease in the psyche. And how does the injury manifest? No matter how you slice it, some form of ignorance in our own thinking and feeling, which lead to actions that resulted in unpleasant traumatic experience. But to merely say with words that you are healing, and label it a “process”, to my way of thinking, seems very passive, like sustaining an open physical wound while waiting for the body‘s natural though potentially drawn out healing process, as opposed to applying natural medicine which will speed up the recoup exponentially. Healing is like physical exercise— you don’t get into shape by fantasizing—only by implementing methods which yield consistent results. If you want to make a real change in your psyche, find a method which works for you, and commit to it until you witness change in your psyche with regard to the specific condition(s) being addressed. I use a Hermetic method, derived from the book Elemental Equilibrium, by Virgil (see slide to the far right) that requires introspection upon the psyche—-recording at least 100 toxic traits and 100 beneficial traits of the soul, then assigning elemental correspondence to each trait, which serves to erect an observable image of the soul in character form, much like the Natal Chart. If I discover a new toxic trait, I make record of it, and schedule it’s extermination. The intention is to establish an equilibrium between these elemental forces so that the personality is not inclined towards one extreme over another, but rather, occupying a middle ground of balanced electromagnetic energy. Then, using various techniques, such as autosuggestion, food impregnation and cold water washing, I banish the toxic traits, and simultaneously cultivate the noble traits. This practice works for me and many others. Some prefer the chakra method. Some psychically gifted individuals prefer a more shamanistic method. Whatever method you use, make sure it’s practical. If not, 10 years later you’ll be experiencing triggers that you thought you eradicated long ago. Key word—‘thought’. The wise maxim tells us to •Know Thy Self•, not Think Thy Self. ‘Know Thy Self’ as a cryptic expression is informing the initiate of a need to harmonize the soul. Best of success to all who try:::
