Akron Frey - The 7 Portals of the Spirit

... first step where to? What can we do?

Nothing. It is doing it all by itself. But while doing nothing we can become conscious of certain things …

... what things?

Should we not, for example, stop looking for the devil on the outside? Through this we could prevent a good deal of suffering – because he indwells us! You yourself are your worst enemy! It is our shadow and it wants to kill us!

It wants to destroy us? I do not understand!

The devil is the separated part of humanity – and he exists in each and every one of us! As long as we know this we can rest at ease …

Rest at ease ...?

Everything we are desirous to achieve is determined by what is trying to be accomplished through and within us, so our fate can fulfill itself. This is the final realization on our path to redemption. If we knew that there never is anything to realize which is not already enclosed deep within ourselves, there would be no motive for personal development.

But when the devil indwells us?

Don’t worry – So do the Gods! Look: We are our parent’s children and our parents are their parents children, who yet again are children of their parents etc. This implies, that every one of us is related to the first human being, to the first ape, originated from the first prehistoric organic form of life – and even further back – to the very origin of creation. In other words: We include the whole universe and therefore the force of creation is a part of us. Unfortunately we lost the access to our inner power, which would let us share in the cosmic conception. That is why we have no choice but to addict ourselves to this self-made God, who kindly smiles at us from every religious institution of power, rampantly growing financial system, exaggerated constructions of prosperity and scientific explanation of spiritual topics and technological achievements ...

We have no other choice ...? What do you mean by that?

Without the systems that lead us away from spirituality and force materialism upon us in exchange, we wouldn’t be able to live at all. It is this ambivalence which frightens us so much because it mirrors our own constructed way of living. The financial markets are the most intensive shadow of the modern development, within which humanity becomes a helpless victim to its own creation. On the other hand we may not be self-pitying: We integrated this daemon into our world ourselves. Eventually it seems to be the destiny of mankind, the path that seems predetermined by the way it was constructed by evolution; therefore he will never truly find peace. And because we don’t want to be forced to confront ourselves with this truth, we constructed our religion, which diverts us from reality. What is the conclusion which we draw from this: Everything is alright, there’s no need to worry, at least as long as we are not yet confronted with our mortality or lie on our deathbed!

What would be different if we knew this?

If mankind would know the subliminal connections? The whole world would break apart from one moment to the next, because these structures are only able to exist because of our common agreement that we cannot depend on them without our control. If we further knew that it is our own control that holds this whole construction together, which yet again is the reason why we can depend on them, as long as our control mechanisms are functioning well, we can also experience that everything we believe in is nothing else then believing in our belief.

Could one not say that nothing would function without our faith ...?

We could even symbolically say that the path underneath our feet only exists, as long as our trust in the belief that this path is real, functions ...

And that we are only playing parts in our own movie?

We are not only playing the parts we are also the directors. The part of us that indwells higher spheres provides the stage on which we are not only able to orchestrate our ego but also the indescribable parts of ourselves like a director would – I shall return to this topic later. This director controls and changes the role-play and fits the ego into the reality of its environment so that the person can function within his or her life.

Who is this director?

C. G. Jung called it „self“ and defined it to be the final destination and source of our personal will, in the end a transcendent and unrecognizable inner core that simultaneously describes center and periphery.

And who is this „self“?

I can only explain it to you symbolically: “Our-self” is the will of the archer to hit the center of his target, before he actually shoots his arrow.

Why then have we not exchanged this faith of ours with a deeper, spiritual knowledge long ago? Why did we hold on to our religion for so long?

To provide the motivation to seek the meaning of life! If we knew that there is nothing to look for, that nothing matters and everything is harmonic and good the way it is, there would be no differences between us that would allow us to feel different from others and then all our goals wouldn’t make any sense.

Shouldn’t we then finally bury this old, patriarchal God of ours?

But he died long ago! These days we meet the modern separated part of his personality in the temples of science. He resembles a kind of glue which binds the collective associations of humanity onto one, firm point of reference, a founding axiom – one could call it Aristotelian thinking –, from which the whole world is measurable from behind and controllable in the front. The modern wardens of the Holy Grail, operating within their fortresses are in no way less diabolic than the old priests. They are equally addicted to their religious hubris and in their rapture they preoccupy themselves with either decoding our past using highly complicated statistics and spreadsheets of human calculation, or deliberately interfering with our gene – structures with the help of molecular-biology.

Most people think differently about this – You are no fan of science?

Most of all, I am no fan of arrogance. Mankind has a tendency to centralize its achievements and science has a tendency to proclaim its realizations the hub of the world. Thereby we shouldn’t restrict our researches to a horizontal perspective, we should most of all, fathom what lies in the deep which is to say we should not only want to find out how much we can find out, but also have the ambition to analyze the reason why we feel forced to find an answer to every question that occurs from the outside. Why do we not also try to explore our inner spheres because in the end we are all mortal beings and no scientific achievement can prevent us from facing death one day!

You were talking about changes of perspectives within our consciousness that are linked to the morphisms of inner spheres once in a while. Is death one of these changes even though it is a final one?

Seen from a spiritual perspective death is totally insignificant and is not spectacularly different from our journeys within our dreams our conditions of deep meditation if we change our view from the point of common frequencies of thought onto a higher dimension. He merely changes the possibility to return into the physical, material world and destroys – at least from our point of view – the illusion that this reality is the only form of existence. It is the same the other way around: Just as we have no idea about dimensions of existence beyond our consciousness, many beings on other spheres have no inventory about what a human being or a soul could be.
