The foreign installation has been the focus of this
discourse. It has been a concept, which took me awhile to catch onto. But now
that J has helped me become aware of it, many related issues are becoming
clear.
In the months following our initial talks, J and I had many conversations.
Characteristic of them all was J’s insistence in constantly making me aware of
the presence of an alien influence imposing itself on every aspect of my life
through controlling my thoughts and emotional reactions.
Further details of our conversations involve personal details, which are a
distraction from the purpose of this paper. To conclude this topic I will
summarize my own understandings gained so far. I am in no way professing any
expertise on the subject. Most of what I do know is based on J’s communications
with me. I take responsibility, however, for offering my own elaborations and
interpretations of his information. I recommend you always check my statements
against your own intuitions. That said, this is a fairly unique peek at a
subject that while it is very ancient knowledge which has been passed along
orally, has only recently surfaced publicly. What has been previously said
about it is sketchy at best. A novice is presenting this, but one who for all
intents and purposes is very much like yourself. I always feel that we learn
best from those who are in the same situation as ourselves. The expert does not
share the familiar vantage point a peer struggling along beside you, with
similar problems in common, can offer.
I started out explaining that I had considered myself a fairly studied,
well-versed occultist (occult not in popularized stereotyped, Gothic horror
sense, but what the definition of the word implies – the study of hidden truths,
especially the causes and relationships of things). I proceeded to describe how
I began to question all I know. Through describing my early encounters with J,
I described how he began to further expose the extent of my own true ignorance.
Now I must confess that most of what I know is terribly flawed, not through any
lack of diligence on my own part, nor of aptitude in the subjects I’ve studied
for many years now. Armed with these understandings about the mind as a foreign
installation, however, I have been lead to profoundly question the integrity of
every field of human knowledge as well as that of all society’s institutions.
It is now apparent that most of what humanity takes for reality is a common
dream reinforced collectively by all its social participants. Since we are all
indoctrinated into this common worldview from an early age through the
influence of our caretakers, at a time when dependence is not an option, we don’t
have much of a fighting chance to choose alternatives. We are stalked when very
young by the predator. It seduces us into depending on it and tricks us into
believing that its mind is our own. Any concerns we may have or suspicions
about its presence that we discuss with our parents are instantly explained
away or ridiculed by them, because they are controlled by their own parasite.
We are therefore socialized into a system that consists almost entirely of
people who depend utterly on a mind, which they believe to be their own, but is
in actuality that of an alien being who uses human beings for food. Therefore,
every aspect of this social system is conditioned around the priorities and
tastes of our true masters. We are further conditioned into mental and
emotional patterns that make us completely vulnerable to brainwashing. Now
further consider that this has been the human condition for thousands of years.
When regarded in total, it cannot escape ones attention that every detail of
human learning and history has been designed and conditioned to produce human
behavior favoring the needs of our predator. This program does not have our
needs and happiness in mind but rather priories like abundance of supply,
quality of taste and our docile cooperation as livestock.
I do have to observe that despite the predators program, life and spiritual
reality cannot be obstructed completely. Truth does find its course. How can it
be any other way? Evolution is a natural force that is in the end,
irresistible. I therefore am also aware that certain spiritual truths studied
have been instrumental in understanding these further revelations. It will,
however, be a long process of sorting things out and questioning everything. My
understanding about the power of the mind has been invaluable. Most modern
occultists know that what we believe in has a powerful influence over every
detail of our daily lives including, our behavior, our bodies and
circumstances. Occultists further understand that the mind even influences
events and circumstances that aren’t even under our direct physical control.
Jung coined the phrase synchronicity to account for this phenomenon. I still do
believe in this powerful magical influence of the mind. But this fact just
makes the predator’s strategy of giving us its own mind so devastatingly
effective. It even implies that through the influence of the mind, the actual
structure of our bodies and subtler vehicles have been reconfigured to imprison
us from our true spiritual potential as free magical beings, and suit us to the
function of being convenient feeding vessels for our parasites.
A number of the participants in the Foreign Installation forum have made
observations that sick, morbid or perverted acts are a product of influence
from one’s parasite. While in most cases this is true, in my estimation, it isn’t
the sole cause of such acts. What’s also implied here is that such acts
generate the kind of energy that the mind parasite prefers and finds most
satisfying. Though this may also be true, one cannot help but notice that such
extreme acts are isolated and not in the realm of average human behavior.
Granted, we all entertain morbid fascinations in one form or another and this
does point out one aspect of our parasite’s predilection. Much subtler,
however, are the full spectrum of tastes and tendencies of the mind tyrant. 99%
of all normal, well-adjusted people, relatively happy with their lives are
nevertheless under constant control of their parasite. If we are to make some
progress in freeing ourselves from this foreign influence and achieving our
full, truly individual potential, we must assume that the most insignificant
details of our daily lives are always under its fierce and ruthless grip.
Stalking oneself, that is, being ever vigilant of thoughts, feelings, emotional
reactions and actions, is the “grist for the mill”, from which insight is
gained and freedom is eventually one.
The mind, or what is believed to be our mind is the real battleground. Contrary
to first impressions, the smarter one is and the more powerful their intellect,
the more vulnerable to enslavement by the parasite. It perverts logic into a weapon
for deception. Its tactic is often to lead an intellectual into a maze of
tantalizing mental exertions. In the process of wasting your time and energy in
compelling, intricate conundrums, it also feeds you the rationalizations that
delicately twist your thinking in a direction of its choosing, so that no
matter what position you started out taking, you end up drawing the conclusions
it would have you make. The parasite has a subtle way of jamming our awareness
and discrimination so that its presence remains off our radar. A warrior’s
task, therefore, is to start to become consciously aware of this foreign
influence and develop discrimination between such and impulses originating from
our true mind. There really is no mystery to technique in such work. One
intends to reveal it and makes careful observations. The difficulties arise
because the parasite is so intent on concealing its presence from us that it
has developed a whole arsenal of maneuvers to distract us from our task. One
common dodge is to cause us to become bored with constant vigilance. We get
attracted to obsessive, exciting, intriguing or entertaining ideas, which end
up consuming all our attention.
Consider also, that all our concepts of reality have been conditioned by our
mind tyrant and reinforced socially by everyone else. So an equally challenging
task is to lose our worldview beginning by questioning the veracity of our
habitual assumptions as they arise in our daily routines. Erasing personal
history is connected with this task. So are the techniques of recapitulation,
not-doings and stopping internal dialogue. It is beyond the scope of this paper
to get into these details. Check out the writings of Theun Mares as well as
Carlos Castaneda for more information.
Equally important is to begin to re-establish a link between our brain and our
own essence. Because the strategy of the predator is to impose itself between
our brains and that essence, this link has become atrophied. I believe this is
what Don Juan was communicating in Active Side of Infinity when he stated
"There is a secret option to the recapitulation. Just like I told you that
there is a secret option to dying, an option that only sorcerers take. In the
case of dying, the secret option is that human beings could retain their life
force and relinquish only their awareness, the product of their lives. In the
case of the recapitulation, the secret option that only sorcerers take is to
choose to enhance their true minds.” I see every reason, however, to pursue
both recapitulation and enhancement of the true mind simultaneously in our bid
for freedom from the influence of our parasite. Don Juan doesn’t elaborate any
further on techniques for doing so. J encouraged me to do certain exercises
that were basically writing assignments in which I asked my essence certain
questions. Contained in the repository of the true mind are the answers to any
problem which might be plaguing one. The first answer that instantaneously
occurs is usually coming from that source. It takes the foreign installation
some time to recover the ball and revise the picture. It’s helpful to quiet the
mind after asking a question and then expect communication from one’s essence.
A final observation is that discipline is key. In Active Side of Infinity, Don
Juan said “The only alternative left for mankind is discipline. Discipline is
the only deterrent. Sorcerers say that discipline makes the glowing coat of
awareness unpalatable to the flyer.” It is, however, a type of mental
discipline, which takes back control from our foreign influence which is
necessary. This combined with the discipline to take action impeccably.
I have become convinced that addressing this issue of the mind as the foreign
installation should be the first priority of every spiritual aspirant. Otherwise
any other effort regarding the many esoteric disciplines one can pursue will
ultimately fail or even worse, serve to strengthen the grip of the mind
parasite. There is much more to the picture, but the bottom line is that
everyone needs to find their own unique strategy for prevailing against this
invisible enemy. Only those who do so with unbending intent have any chance of
succeeding.
