Like anything in the Universe, our Consciousness is a subject of Evolution and Devolution.

According to my observations, there are three main ways to evolve consciousness.

1. Personalized Answers & Questions

Always look for answers to your personal questions. The Internet, books, films, or people - all of these sources - are a great opportunity to find out your personal truth. Each answer to your question will increase the share of your wisdom and decrease the share of your ignorance.

However, this method has some disadvantages. Firstly, this is a long-term development; secondly, you must remain focused and you also need good luck.

2. Vipassana Meditation

About 2600 years ago, Gautama Buddha gave people the technique that we call Vipassana meditation today.

Gautama practiced various meditation techniques until he began the Vipassana - "to see things as they are." 

This meditation allows you to learn to control your mind and purify your inner repository - the subconscious.  As a result, a balanced mind and cleaned from impurities subconscious are the goals of this process.

Therefore, we can call Vipassana meditation a high-speed path because it allows you to get rid of the impurity in your subconscious in a relatively short period of time. For Gautama, for instance, it took only one day.

Summing up, the cleaner subconscious allows running through your life project lighter, with fewer errors and attachments. Therefore, the saved time and energy will go to the evolution of consciousness.

However, there are some disadvantages to this methodology as well. For instance, you have to regularly practice meditation; besides, there is physical pain from the long sits; moreover, there are some side effects.

3. Choice of Light

A Spiritual Choice towards Light is a shortcut to enlightenment and consequently full liberation from your reincarnation chain.

What is Spiritual Choice?

For example,  at a certain moment in life, one faces a situation of Spiritual Choice*. The spiritual choice is a test for an individual to define a further direction of movement – to Light or to Darkness. The principle of the choice is based on Free Will, which our Creator generously gave to an Individual. 

Most importantly, the right choice provides you with an upgrade of your Consciousness. The best reference to how Spiritual Choice affects a human is described in the fictional novel Redemption.

Sample

These three ways for the improvement of our consciousness can be compared by traveling by car. 

The first way (Questions & Answers) can be compared to traveling along a countryside road with a 40 km/hour speed limit, i.e. slow.

The second option (Vipassana) is as driving along a highway with a speed limit of 120 km/hour, i.e. faster. 

While the third option, the Choice of Light, is a shortcut. The shorter alternative route allows you to save time and gasoline, and as a result, to arrive at a destination much earlier than using two other methods.

The best result, however, is achieved by a combination of all three methods.

To be continued...

* Note: some people have no spiritual choice because they have already made a final choice of the direction toward Darkness and, as a result, have lost the ability to have free will.

Enlightenment in the Middle Ages: A Review of 'Brother Sun, Sister Moon

Brother Sun, Sister Moon

Review of Spiritual film "Brother Sun, Sister Moon", 1972. by Jaclyn A. Lo.

The central theme of "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" revolves around Enlightenment, driven by the Spiritual Choice toward Light.

Thou Shalt Not Kill

The film is set in the Middle Ages in Italy, a time when war was not only accepted but even glorified despite the Christian commandment against killing.

Peace as a Value of Light

The protagonist, Francis, participates in a military campaign and witnesses the inhumanity of war. However, he makes a conscious choice² in favor of Peace³ and returns home, much to the disappointment of his family. During his illness, Francis undergoes a profound inner transformation, experiencing Enlightenment.

Spiritual Choice of Light

Francis's Enlightenment is a direct result of his Spiritual Choice of Light that he made during the war. This Choice leads to an elevation of his consciousness, refining his perceptions and sharpening his vision of the Spiritual.

As a result, he re-discovers joy in nature⁴, which is portrayed as a spiritualized reality. Simultaneously, he loses interest in the materialistic values as more basic aspects of the world.

Freedom as a Value of Light

Money and material goods acquired with it, especially in large quantities, are addictive and cause dependence on the physical world. Additionally, their excessive consumption does not support spiritual development.

Francis is deeply affected by this revelation that he wishes to guide others, especially his parents, away from materialistic values. He believes that the reward for this shift is the attainment of Freedom, a fundamental Value of Light.

Unconditional Love for Nature

Spiritual enlightenment is the key to the worship of nature and its elements. Improved sense organs perceive flora and fauna at the highest level, which can only be compared with a miracle. This unconditional love of nature we seen clearly in Francis.

Absence of Anger and Hatred Towards Others

Another notable feature of the protagonist is his complete absence of anger, hatred, and other negative emotions. We observe this in several episodes of the film, where he remains calm, clear, and kind to others.

For example, Francis never blamed his parents for continuing to live their lives, as well as for the fact that they completely abandoned him. He also always maintained inner and outer calm at the receptions of high-ranking priests - both local and the Vatican pope. Also when one of his childhood friends could not continue the monastic lifestyle, he did not blame him and did not resist his departure, but on the contrary, told his friend that of course, he could be obedient to God in worldly life.

Powerful Soul

Francis's journey from wealth to a monastic lifestyle inspires some of his influential friends, highlighting his strong energy potential and unwavering dedication to achieving his goals, including the construction of a temple.

Conclusion

Brother Sun, Sister Moon, 1972, directed by Franco Zeffirelli and written by Suso Cecchi D'Amico, Charles Dyer, and Kenneth Ross. Lina Wertmüller is a remarkable spiritual film. 

This film is highly recommended for those interested in exploring the concept of Spiritual Choice toward the Light and its profound consequences, such as Spiritual Enlightenment.

Notes

¹  War is depicted as a Spiritual value of Darkness

²  The protagonist's choice is implied but not explicitly shown in the movie 

³  Peace  is portrayed as one of the values of Lights 

⁴  In today's high-tech world, some acknowledge that we exist in a programmed reality, but fewer realize that everything around us is alive, like a vast living being. This revelation transcends logical comprehension, given the current state of human spirituality and energy.

Why War? Part IX /A

"By their fruit, you will recognize them"

                Holy Bible

V. Putin 

Vladimir Putin became President of the Russian Federation in 2000. 

By abusing his authority, he amends Yeltsin's constitution, allowing himself to remain in power until today (May 22, 2022) with a lifetime perspective.

The less you know...

In order to understand who Mr. Putin is from a metaphysical point of view, we must conduct a thorough check, using not only the “nice and polished” official pages of the president, but also information from independent researchers.

Mr. Pu

Based on open Internet sources, Vladimir Putin gathered an extensive list of "merits", which David Sutter called "The less you know, the better you sleep."

Since V. Putin has never officially been under investigation or trial, we shall conduct our metaphysical analysis by creating a fictional character named Mr. Pu.

Time and place of birth

In accordance with the researcher Krystyna Kurczab-Redlich, Mr. Pu was incarnated into a human body 2 years earlier and in a place a thousand times smaller than it mentioned in his official sources of info. 

Initial Energy Potential 

Judging by the fact that little Pu was born in poverty and grew up in an environment that was not very supportive of his personal growth, his initial Energy Potential ( and consciousness) was low.

However, at the age of 10, he gets a significant boost by moving to St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad).

Change in Energy Potential

A city of 5 million people gives little Pu much better opportunities for study, sport, and street life. However, his grades, especially in logical subjects, and leadership abilities were rather mediocre, which confirms the low energy potential of his soul and the low level of his consciousness. 

Outstanding results in combat sports (if any) do not add too many bonuses to his spiritual development.

Increasing Energy Potential 

Getting a law degree at the State University, working several years for KGB, and attending know-how courses add further potential to Pu's energy reserve.

Nevertheless, according to Yuri Shvets, a former Soviet intelligence officer and fellow student of Pu in the Academy of Foreign Intelligence, Pu was also far from perfect in professional studies, had weak analytical skills, and got several offensive nicknames, which again points out his not high energy potential.

Fig. 1 Upgrade of Pu's consciousness via education

Before Choices

The unemployed Pu returned to Leningrad and was thinking about working as a taxi driver, but sudden luck brought him together with the mayor of Leningrad  A. Sobchak, who hired Pu to attract foreign investment to the city.

Spiritual Choice#1 - Money

Most probably at that period of his life, Pu faced his first Spiritual Choice.  A Spiritual Choice is always a tailored-made exam given to an adult individual to choose his Spiritual Direction based on his personal values.

Such a dilemma seems to have appeared for Pu in 1992 when he had to decide whether to feed the starving in Leningrad or steal food money. 

Mr. Pu chose the second option, betraying the fabulous city to which he owes so much.

Satan

Having made the Spiritual Choice in favor of Darkness, Mr. Pu falls under the close attention of Satan. In order to encourage the potential victim, the CEO of Darkness throws Pu a portion of energy, as well as other benefits of the material world.

Money, like alcohol or drugs, is addictive. Satan grabs the “compliant” and slowly but steadily drags him into his bosom in order to make him an easily obedient slave.

Spiritual Choice #2 - Power

Another famous tool of Satan is Power.  He had his chance in August 1999, when a weary Yeltsin announced Pu as his successor.

Pu faced a choice - to go to the presidential elections on the recommendation of Yeltsin only, or to organize a "special operation" to increase his own pre-election rating. 

Mr. Pu chose the second option. In September 1999, several apartment bombings took place around Moscow and the region. Pu promised to find those responsible, unleashed a second war in Chechnya, and won the presidential election.

Achievement of Goal

Achieving the goal of becoming the president of Russia gave Pu additional energy potential but coarsened his soul and consciousness (Fig. 2).

Why Liberate? Part II

 

soul

Our soul is the biggest treasure for any spiritual entity as it includes all spiritual inheritance that has been collected during an uncountable number of existences. 

high-risk 

However, the most significant disadvantage of living in physical reality is high-risk factors for our soul. 

What are they, these factors?

the Laws

The first factor is our ignorance of the Laws of the Universe.

We live in the complex hierarchy of our Creator, which is running under these Laws.

Unfortunately, humankind's knowledge of these Laws is close to zero. Nevertheless, our ignorance does not excuse us for responsibility for what we do, and the punishment can be severe.

psyche

The second factor is our limited knowledge of yourself and especially about our psyche.

Our subconscious is massive storage with the data collected through our embodiments.

Unfortunately, as any storage, it also contains some impurities negatively affecting our psyche.  

mind

Our trained mind must be a warrior to recognize these impurities and eliminate them; however, methods of mind control are almost unknown in Western society.

As a result, these impurities generate mental problems such as anger, anxiousness, phobias, etc.

impurities

These problems prevent people from focusing on their primary goals and yielded their life-project in full and in time, which cause a prolongation of their reincarnation chain.

Spiritual Choice

The third factor is the Wrong Spiritual Choice.

Physical reality is a platform on which the qualities of our soul are tested continuously. 

There are every-day tests, and there is a Final Test, which we have to pass once or twice in a life. 

every-day tests

We can compare these tests with the general school - we have to learn every day as well as be ready to answer to our teacher's questions; however, one day we must pass a Final Exam.

The every-days tests keep us in a shape of thinking, evaluating and learning, providing slowly but steadily spiritual growth. 

degradation

However, in the case of the choice for pointless or parasitic lifestyle, a human loses a spin of energies and faces slow but steady degradation.

The Final Spiritual Test, however, is critical, as it's a Test for our Spiritual direction and our resistance to degradation.

enlightenment

For example, Spiritual choice towards Light would bring enlightenment and a shortcut to Liberation. Still, it also carries a risk of degradation if due to this choice, the person can't sustain himself.

karma

On the other hand, Spiritual Choice towards Darkness* will bring brutalization, negative karma,  suffer and a risk to drift away from the Hierarchy of God to the Hierarchy of Satan. 

The karmic payment brings a prolongation of the chain of incarnations and in addition - the risk of the next mistake.  This choice doesn't eliminate the risk of degradation as well.

Higher Spiritual Teachers

The Spiritual Test is not possible to avoid and even the Higher Spiritual Teachers supposed to go through the Test.

For example, 

Jesus was tested by Satan in the Judean wilderness; 

The demon Mara was testing Gautama the Buddha, trying to unbalance him. 

And the Old Testament tells about the Spiritual Test of Abraham, which was done by God Himself! 

Jesus, Abraham, Gautama

Jesus, Abraham, Gautama successfully passed their tests and were granted Liberation from physical reality. 

All of them continue their self-improvement and development in Thin world, a much safer place than the Earth.

* *This pattern does not apply to Spiritual entities who have already chosen Darkness as their Spiritual Direction. Having lost the right to Free Will, they strictly obey the orders of the Prince of Darkness and, therefore, do not create any Karma.

Why War? Part IV

In Part IV, we will look at what will happen to Free Will if a spiritual entity constantly chooses Darkness, as well as who and how tests and tempts us and why.

Free Will

free will as a key for freedom

As we learned in Part III, Free Will is given as a gift that allows us to enjoy individuality and freedom.

However, do we have any obligations to Our Spiritual Father who gave us this gift? The answer is Yes and No. 

Let's deal with this.

free will and spiritual direction

A  Spiritual entity moves towards the Light

In the event that the spiritual entity moves more or less towards the Light, Free Will remains with it until the final exit¹ from the physical world.

B.  Spiritual entity moves towards the Darkness

However, if the spiritual entity repeatedly makes  Spiritual Choices towards Darkness and crosses the point of no return², Free Will is taken away ( illustration 1).

Illustration 1.

The logic of this step is simple - if you follow the Values of Darkness, where SLAVERY is the main value, you do not deserve freedom, which is given by Free Will.

VALUES OF DARKS

SLAVERY
HATRED
WAR
COWARDICE
FALSE
INJUSTICE
DESPAIR
CRUELTY
CHAOS
GREED

selling soul to satan

The loss of Free Will is often compared to selling the soul to Satan, since the soul, which originally belonged to God, consciously or subconsciously choosing the priorities of Darkness and rejecting the values of Light, becomes a SLAVE of SATAN.

The process of giving away his Free Will is the last will of man.

who tests and tempts us

But who is interested in depriving a person of Free Will and why?

As we already mentioned, the most interested party is the CEO of Darkness - Satan. Having taken away a person's Free will, Satan  replaces his will with OWN WILL and subjugates the man to himself. 

loss of control

The man can no longer control his own decision.

From the point of view of outsiders, it looks like the person has acquired an irrational pattern of behavior.

 

This can be compared to how a person drives a car to a certain place and knows the route well, but suddenly he makes an unexpected turn in an unnecessary direction, not understanding why he is doing it.

beneficiary of free will loss

Satan is the direct beneficiary of man's renunciation of free will.

He not only becomes the full owner of the soul which loss Free Will, but now he can use this soul as His own when and where he wants it.

satan's tools and tricks

In order to lure more and more people into his bondage, Satan has developed a number of seductive tools to help him achieve his goals ( Illustration 2.).

Illustration 2.

sex,  money, drugs, power

Tools such as sex, money, drugs, power, etc. help Satan test and tempt people. Very often He affects a person through his arrogance and false pride.

The first step for Satan is to hook a person on one of His tools, and then on to the next one. 

human pride

Human pride is a premise to become hooked by Satan. 

Making a person more and more dependent, Satan forces him to step over the values of Light, delving into the Values of Darks.  As a result of this process, a person makes a Spiritual Choice towards Darkness, not realizing the danger of this step.

Find the Spiritual Choice towards Darkness, its consequences and the role of Satan in the screenplay "Heaven".

Summary

• Free will is a gift given to us by our Spiritual Father (CEO of Light). 

• We can exercise Free Will as long as we move more or less towards the Light.

• Once Spiritual entity has made its Ultimate choice in favor of Darkness, free will is taken away and replaced by the will of Satan, the CEO of Darkness.

• Satan is the direct beneficiary of the loss of man's free will, because in this case he can lead man to where He wants

• Therefore, Satan has developed some tools to push man to make a Spiritual choice towards Darkness.

Notes: 

¹ Final Exit - is a liberation from the physical world, no return.

² Point of no return - a point of the Final choice towards Darkness

Spiritual Choice concerns not only an individual, but also a group of people and even a nation.

In Part V we will look at the Spiritual Choice towards Darkness by the Russian ruler Nicholas II in 1914.

Sully: A Triumph Amidst Adversity. Metaphysical Review

Sully ( 2016) 

 

Metaphysical Review by Jacklyn A. Lo: Biographical Film "Sully".

Director: Clint Eastwood
Writers: Todd Komarnicki, Chesley Sullenberger, Jeffrey Zaslow

The film "Sully" (2016) stands out as one of the finest examples where the main character confronts a problem and transforms it into a triumph.

Spiritual Choice

Sully, the protagonist, faces a difficult situation where he must make a life-defining decision i.e. Spiritual Choice, within a very limited time frame. One option is based on logic, which would be accepted by governmental authorities, while the other is based on his intuition and serious attention to his recurring night dreams.

Nightmares

At the beginning of the film, we see that Sully is haunted by nightmares. In these dreams, he envisions himself as the skilled pilot he truly is, but he makes a wrong decision that results in a plane crash with passengers onboard.

And then, that fateful day arrives.

Sully and his assistant find themselves in a dire situation when both engines fail. Sully, as the main pilot, has only a few seconds to make a critical decision that will determine the lives of 155 people. He is left with two options: try to reach the nearest airport or make an emergency landing on a river of icy water. He chooses the opposite decision from his dream and saves himself and the passengers.

Individual

Now, let's delve deeper into Sully's life journey.

Sully is an exceptional individual. His profession as a pilot demonstrates his proficiency in operating complex aircraft instruments. This occupation also demands a vast amount of experience and knowledge. Additionally, as a pilot, he possesses exceptional organizational, communication, and concentration skills. All of these factors indicate that the matrix of his soul has achieved a high level of maturity, i.e., an above-average energy potential.

Discipline

Sully's disciplined nature is complemented by his commitment to physical fitness and jogging while keeping his indulgences, i.e. alcohol, etc. to a minimum. These qualities are especially important in an extremely stressful situation as they allow a person not only to avoid physical collapse but also to help the mental field focus on an emergency problem.

Energy Potential

In our daily lives, by following a normal routine, we only slightly increase the energy potential of our souls. Therefore, Higher beings, whom we refer to as our Higher Brothers, closely monitor our energy progress and present us with challenges at the right time and under the right circumstances. These challenges play a vital role as the Universal Laws of Change and Evolution drive all living beings to enhance their energy potential.

Benefits from Problems

However, for some of us, our Higher Superiors strategically design and create emergency conditions that push us beyond our limits. These conditions provide us with the opportunity to rapidly increase the energy potential of our souls.

Even a person working on an average problem has a good chance to increase his energy potential since the challenge activates his soul. Each problem and a situation for it are individual and created for a specific person.

The energy potential of a problem situation is always higher than the energy potential of the human soul. That's why no one can avoid problems. We can compare this process to solving mathematical problems. The problems considered and studied increase the energy potential of the student, but those that lie ahead are even more energetic, and the student must work hard on them in order to progress.

Development on the Spiritual Path 

This is exactly what happened to the main character of the film, Sully - to evolve on his spiritual path, he needs new challenges.

From his conversation with Jeff Skiles, we learn that besides his skills as a pilot, he is also exploring entrepreneurship. Moreover, his business, presented on his website, looks very impressive, as if a large corporation is behind it, and not just one person. A low-energy soul cannot and will not want to “show off” in this way.

Starting your own business usually requires a higher level of risk-taking and responsibility than being an employee. It also requires a higher level of personal discipline and the ability to control business assets.

Conclusion

Although our life paths are individual, they are based on general rules that are controlled by Universal Laws.

For some of us, making decisions based on logic is already a triumph because that person must first learn logic. However, at a higher level of spiritual development, we must also allow our intuition and/or the promptings of our Higher Brothers to guide us in choosing the best possible option.

Our Earth serves as a platform for us to acquire the missing energy potentials, both qualitatively and quantitatively. And our Higher Brothers constantly provide us with difficult situations for the development of our souls.

Solving those problems in the right way and learning from the difficult situations is a plus for each of us.
