Thank you for this interesting post.

I would add that when we read the word of God, the bible everything we need is within it's pages.

Psychology can be helpful to a point, but Jesus is our salvation.

As we live in this world He gives us the understanding we need and we can know what lies ahead.

Trusting in Christ alone for eternal salvation is first and then comes understanding about how to navigate this short life.

Hope is in Jesus

Thank you I enjoy your perspective and insight.

So much going on all around us.

In Christ,

Caroline

Wow. Christian Westbrook! You disappeared off my radar some years ago. So nice to have you back. God bless you.

Very nicely framed. This is wisdom. I especially like the Dick quote. There’s a similar one from William Irwin Thompson: “We become what we hate”. But in terms of action vs. personal work, it seems that truth telling and speaking out against false narratives helps the collective better understand the contours of how dark forces have shaped our culture and politics. So this in turn can advance personal work. A self-reinforcing cycle.

Stop watching limited hang outs like Space Observers. What's coming is Biblical NOT cyclical. It won't be a massive solar flare it's The First Trumpet. Fire will reign down from Heaven. Read your Bible.

Suspicious Observers? I choose to get my information from multiple sources. Who is to say God doesn’t use a solar flare to do His work? Who is to say we aren’t quite yet at the end?

Rosemary's avatar

The Bible says it is fire reigning down from Heaven. When people think it is a solar flare they think it is either cyclical or as many fake truthers will have them believe, man made. It is the difference in it being a disaster and Gods Wrath which is the whole point of Tribulation. Those telling people that what is coming is a cyclical disaster are not worth listening to.

Sorry I have no idea what Space Observers is. I follow many spiritual teachings.

Rosemary's avatar

It is a you tube channel that covers solar flares and has a coming distraction doco about the Disaster Cycle which is a Cover-up. Therein lies the problem as well. There is only one true teaching and that is the truth from Jesus Christ.

….and I have been sharing you out to my subs

Do you know longer believe in God/Jesus?

UNSHADOWED (IAF)'s avatar

Thank you for asking that Cindi. Exploring the psyche doesn’t mean rejecting faith—understanding ourselves more deeply can bring us closer to God. I absolutely believe, and try my best to do His will every day. 🙏

It’s an answer to prayer to have you back. You were in the thoughts of many. My husband used to say, “what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger”. Stay strong Christian!

Tom Valovic's avatar

Hi Cindi. I would not see this posting as at all inconsistent with a Christian practice. In fact, I might even suggest that such an approach might be a very good and practical way to translate Christian values into dealing with the complex real-world issues we all face today as the polycrisis continues to unfold. Cheers.

Wetiko? Oh my! I learned of that last year.

Welcome back! Many of us were very concerned about you. I learned you were back from Danny & Wanda of Deepsouth Homestead. Wanda said you were on YouTube but I didn’t find you there. I didn’t give up that easily!

“We are the origin of all coming evil.” To unpack the psyche not other it. Great overview of shadow work. With you.

From "Nothing in this Book is True, but it's Exactly how Things are." (by Bob Frissell)

Quote: This is what Jesus meant when he stressed the purity of thoughts. Love and peace and unity and being kind to your neighbours are ultimately very practical because they work reciprocally.

These things are important on the third dimension also (the one we inhabit now) but, because of the time delay in manifestation, we get away with playing dumb and not seeing cause and effect. The third dimension seems to be a realm for mastering limitations or victim consciousness. In victim consciousness, the ultimate victim is one who doesn't know that he or she is creating reality, and believes that things just happen to them.

Very good read and like other commentators, it’s good to have you back, and I’m excited to be a part of your journey here on Substack.

Midway through these transformative 2020s, I spend probably 90 percent of my social media time here, because I find the quality of discourse much more productive than elsewhere.

Anyway, I look forward to your future posts and will now read the previous one on AI!

The ultimate struggle that will yield the ultimate liberation. No amount of fighting will bring us peace. Instead look within. That righteous rage that lives inside of you from the last 2000+ years of oppression must be transmuted into loving action. Take the Bucky Fuller route home: create something new.

The question of GOD…. or better said… THE ANSWER of GOD, is in some ways the antithisis JUNG work. It is a deeply subtle truth- but profoundly important when ESTABLISHING A FOUNDATION for ones Life or Will.

Jung would have us believe that it, as you said, GOING WITHIN, that is the ONE WAY to heal. And this, while having great merit in regards to being accountable to honest, and even more critical in a time like our, where consensus is being prioritized over truth…. IN ESSENCE, Jung’s DEEP INNER WORK is self exploration and will NEVER TRULY HEAL. Because it only through a deep recognition that WITHOUT GOD WE WILL NEVER BE FULLFILLED IN THIS LIFE.

Trusting in GODS PLAN for us, requires we set aside the OLD and are reborn IN YEHUSHA, and live in service of KINGDOM IDEALS— and that means living for a purpose outside of ourselves, through Yehusha. BUT I LOVE LOVE LOVE the deep work of releasing the lies we told ourselves… because that is where we give the eNemy ACCESS to our life, force and heart. Praise the Good Lord for all those who bravely shine the light of truth in the darkness of these times.

YES! I’m so happy to read this because it’s very aligned with my work and perspectives. I’ve also been inviting people to do the inner work as the solution to our world’s problems instead of struggling in the entanglement with the external problems, which are just a mirror for us. It’s a lot easier to project and externalize it, and right now it’s only the early adopters leading the way to the inner work by example. And that’s okay. There was a time when I was a captive in the victimhood consciousness as well. As more of us break free into true freedom, which is an inner state of consciousness, this makes it easier for others to tune into that frequency. Something is shifting in the last 6 months or so. Maybe it’s the Pluto shift into Aquarius that’s making it easier to share light codes and breakthrough faster. What I’ve noticed is these activations can only happen when we are in a state of empowerment and sovereignty, not the victimhood of being externally focused on the problems. The blessing in the external chaos and crises is that it’s existential pressure inviting us to turn inward so we can transmute our personal and ancestral trauma, which is the echo of the collective trauma we see in the world.

I hope it’s really you, Christian, you’ve been missed! Where did you go & what were you doing all that time? 🤔

Rolf von Behrens's avatar

I think everyone would love to know that. Many of us assumed the worst and were upset by the disappearance.

UNSHADOWED (IAF)'s avatar

In fact, this post IS the first part of the explanation. It wasn’t any one attack from the system; I have to be careful with how I publicly discuss it. If you find it odd from where you sit, I can be okay with that.

Thanks for connecting on X, Rolf; it seems like you are involved with some cool projects!

Becki's avatar

There’s another post about that.

Salty Spirit's avatar

Very good to have you back, Christian. You disappeared as though ripped from the face of the Earth! I hope you accomplished everything you needed to during your absence. Your voice is important to many people. May the Lord bless and keep you and yours. Yeshua is the only way to travel through this life.

Will's avatar

Hey Christian, glad you are back. Have you started homesteading yet?

Grace's avatar

Thank you,

Finding your post this morning was pure synchronicity for me- of conversations I have had over the past few days about the futility of “resistance”…How we need to EACH walk the path/do the work, face our own shadows, etc etc.

This synchronicity gives me hope.
