This post initially appeared at THE SORCERER'S WORLD (my forum), in response to a question asked by a seeker about the correlation between the foreign installation and losing the human form. The response is from my double, Orlando, and seeing as how I've received a few recent PMs asking about this same subject, seemed appropriate to repost this here.

What must be understood is that the foreign installation is all-pervsive, in the sense that one is not free of it until one is free of it. There are no halfway measures. One is not free of it today and consumed by it again tomorrow. To one who sees, this is an inescapable truth, and it is why the battle to free oneself from the foreign installation is often a difficult one. The old human cliche - can't have your cake and eat it, too - comes to mind. One cannot uphold *some* of the agreement without being subject to the weight of the *whole* agreement. Put simply: one is either free of the dictates of the foreign installation, or one isn't. There is no middle ground, other than awareness, and even that is not sufficient to dispel the effects of the foreign installation for those who might choose to attempt to uphold *some* of its agreements.
It is also important to understand that for as long as one is in humanform, the foreign installation is in effect, which is why warriors struggle with the idea of losing the humanform - for ONLY when that is done can one be truly free of the influence of the FI... and even so, even after losing the humanform, the warrior's commitment to *maintaining* her new awareness is really the only "freedom" one has.
So when you ask if humans can get past the foreign installation, I would say to you that it is possible only with the keenest commitment to one's own awareness, and the diligence to lose the humanform entirely. What I have observed is that there may not be sufficient understanding of what 'losing the humanform' actually means. And so many warriors struggle to 'lose the humanform' based on their own ideas of what that means (ideas which may well be rooted within the foreign installation itself!) rather than laboring from the position of actually *seeing* what is intended by the concept itself.
What is losing the human form? It is the relinquishing of every belief, conclusion or consensus that would bind one to the agreement. And, moreso, it is the shift of the assemblage point to what Carlos has referred to as 'a separate reality'. In essence, those who have lost the humanform no longer have any investment in the agreement, and so the agreement itself becomes blind to them. The foreign installation loses its fix on them, because by definition the foreign installation is a HUMAN construct, and for those who have lost the human form, they are (dare I say the obvious?) no longer human, and therefore no longer subject to the dictates of the foreign installation.
