I've come back to this thread a couple of times during the past few days, so figure I will comment. Time. An element that the "foreign installation" has used as a tool---just as alien is saying. But what I wonder---and here I'll sound heretical---whether or not lots of things are not used by the FI; (a term I despise because it allows us to alienate and externalize ourselves from that aspect of ourselves that is less than fully self serving in an energy enhancing way), lots of things that we view as positive energy but that still draw upon our energy in substantive ways and draw us away from "inhabiting the I-am at all times". The element I wonder about is love. Just as there might not be anything at all to "time" there might be just as much diversionary tactics used within the experience of "love". We can readily agree that 'negative' terms---death, pain, evil, etc.---engage us in a way that draw us away from being in the moment, from standing at the edge of infinity and experiencing the nagual---almost as though those experiences are no-brainers for energy drains. But, the FI is, I believe, trickier still. Why not also engage those humans at both ends of the spectrum---the positive and the negative---and drain their energy ad infinitum.
If that is the case---time, love, death, pain---are all the tools used by the FI to engage and deplete our available energy expenditure. CC used the term "a bored ***"---and, lord knows, we don't want to be THAT but it would be ingenious of the FI to use the positive and the negative for the same task.
"Conscious awareness" ---now that's our task---neither negative or positive---it simply IS. And how do we get around all of the things that engage us from every possible angle so that we are not longer engaged with the only worthwhile thing to do: live each and every moment as though it is our last.
