Free yourself from what is blocking your experience of true HAPPINESS!

Free yourself from what is blocking your experience of true HAPPINESS!  - by Anna Catharina Padma Chang Chub*

Have you ever wondered where is that Angel of yours, the one that’s supposed to be defending you from your inner Demon(s)?

Within each human being lives an angel (Positive Ego/I AM Presence/Divine Self) and a demon (negative ego/ the personality programmed by the MATRIX to react out of fear thus to either dominate or be subordinated within the dualist perception of reality). When we begin to choose systematically to walk the path of Love & Light, we strengthen the power of our inner angel. When, due to weaknesses, to the lack of unconditional love, to delusional perceptions and to ignorance of the Divine Laws, we choose to walk the path that seems to avoid the things we fear/reject, we are actually choosing the path that leads us, on the long run, exactly towards everything we feared and were trying to avoid – our inner demon is crafty and makes a fool out of us. Our inner demon(s) feeds on – to grow stronger and tighten its grip on us – the wide range of frequencies behind all human suffering: fear based frequencies.

The fear based frequencies are those which produce the external results of war, hunger, social inequality and all the injustices we see on planet Earth. It is said that the devil boasts about acting freely because the majority of mankind fell for his greatest con: that the devil is plain make-believe designed to scare little children and suspicious people. Therefore, if we are brave enough to recognize our own inner demon, this personal version of the devil myth that whispers in our thoughts all those suggestions of shortcuts to achieve our goals, we take back from our shadow side a significant portion of its power to hurt us through self-sabotage.

In the documentary “One” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3xdKf3qle4 ) a sage of the Islam tells us that the Jihad (Holy War) is, first of all, an internal process of conversion of the parts of our Being that are unfaithful to God, and this seems to be, in my vision, an equivalent to the process of individuation - the Hero/Heroine's Journey - proposed by Jung (see the picture bellow), that includes integrating the Shadow aspects in the Light of our consciousness.

 Our inner Shadow has kidnapped several aspects of our Being in those moments when we did not yet know how to accept them and direct them towards a constructive/positive outer expression. I recommend the book “The Shadow Effect” and also the movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX3MKbqdeJA) to anyone interested in freeing themselves from whatever is blocking their experience of pure Joy, from the true source of all suffering, unhappiness, dissatisfaction and lack of fulfillment: from the negative ego or inner demon(s).

Ask yourself, “Am I happy right now, in this moment of my life?” Check and see if your answer resembles any of the following alternatives:

“Not yet, but I’ll be happy when this or that happens”;

“I’ll reach happiness when I become rich and famous”;

“When I reach my ideal weight and get to have perfect body, I’ll be happy(ier)”;

“One day I’ll find the love of my life, we’ll get married and then we’ll live happily ever after”;

“When I have a baby, I’ll be happy as a parent”;

“When I get a promotion in my job, I’ll stop working extra hours and I’ll be able to truly enjoy life and be happy”;

“When my business achieves the profit rates that I’ve expected it to reach, I’ll stop working extra hours and I’ll be able to truly enjoy life and be happy”;

“When I retire I’ll be able to enjoy life as I truly deserve to enjoy, then I’ll be happy(ier)”;

 “When I get to the destination I’ve always dreamed to travel to, I’ll be happy”; etc.

If your answer resembled any of the options above, then I need to tell you something that will piss off your inner demon(s) and expose that negative ego most people have been trying so hard to deny, avoid or cover up with a mask: it is highly likely that the strength of your inner demon(s)/negative ego has been prevailing over the Light & Love of your inner angel/positive ego, because your answer indicates that your choices have been predominantly based on the wide range of the fear based frequency(ies) and not on the frequency of Love & Light. Those answers imply that you tend to expect that something from the outside will satisfy the hunger for Love&Light of your heart and soul. This hunger for Love&Light is what truly motivates us in our search for happiness and sometimes "hungry" people try - without success - to satisfy their hunger with things such as money, power, fame, social status, sex, food, alcoholic drinks, drugs, compulsive shopping. And when they don't get satisfaction, they might settle for less and feel like victims of an injust world OR they might express their dissatisfaction and frustration through: anger, physical or verbal agressiveness, drug addiction, robbery, murder, war...  

“And now what should I do to “exorcise” my inner demon(s)?”, is an interesting question to ask yourself.

I, Anna Catharina Padma Chang Chub, would say that this Path to freedom from the negative ego can be seen as our journey back home to our Divine Source and I’d also say that this journey is not an easy one, but it’s the only journey that is truly worth it, because it’s the Path to True Happiness and to Everlasting Freedom. This Path is not something that can be given to you in a silver platter, but there have been many who already treaded this Path and left us with their inspiring example: Krishna, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ, Muhammad, Kwan Yin, Confucius, Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, etc. This is the Path in which we “nurture and strengthen” our Inner Angel or our Positive Ego or our Divine I AM Presence or our Inner Christ or our Buddha Nature, amongst many other ways of naming the same part of our Being: the Essence of Divine Love & Light that shines freely when the obstructions of the negative ego are removed/purified/transmuted/integrated. An interesting text about healing the pain and damages caused by the inner demon/negative ego, that expresses itself through thoughts and reactive emotions conditioned by patterns of the past, can be read in 10 Life-changing Facts to Heal the Pain of the Past .

“But isn’t this talk of inner angel and inner demon a dualistic perspective? Shouldn’t we transcend the illusion of duality to be happy?”, someone could question.

 That is an interesting question... Actually, it is only on the surface that there is a distinction between inner angel/demon, as I’ve come to see it, the key-word is INTEGRATION or pacification or harmonization or non-resistance that needs to be applied to ALL of the aspects that compose our Being. But as long as we are not a Christed Being or a Buddha, we shall still live in a world made of duality. Overlooking our Shadow aspects of the Self will not bring true happiness, foccusing only on the positive and denying the existence of what we think - a judgement of the mind conditioned by patterns of the past - is "negative" is just a band-aid, in other words, it can help superficially and bring some pleasant results, but "thinking positive" is not a definite solution. Besides, human language was not designed or structured to express the non-dualistic reality, in which we are all united as one, therefore, I would suggest that you detach yourself from specific manners of coining concepts and also use your heart's intuition to discern when a text speaks of the Path of Light & Love opposed to when a text cultivates patterns of fear and separation between “the others and me”.

Namaste!
