A CHALLENGING REFLECTION ON A DIFFICULT SUBJECT …

July 27, 2020August 8, 2020 Altazar Rossiter

I’ve always found this self-reflection stuff challenging, which is the surest sign that there’s something for me to learn from it. I see some very ugly problems in the world, and I certainly don’t want to accept that they’re in anyway a reflection of me. BUT … One of the important aspects of this phenomenon that I have learned, is that the reflection is somehow indirect. It’s distorted in some way … upside down, magnified, twisted … So I have to explore it and decode it, a bit like a clue in a crossword puzzle. Perhaps one of the nastiest issues that I don’t want to consider in relation to myself, is the trafficking of children; the violation of their innocence and their disappearance on an almost industrial scale. Children are farmed for organ replacement, and for slaughter in ritual sacrifice. None of this… Read moreA CHALLENGING REFLECTION ON A DIFFICULT SUBJECT …

The Culture of Slavery

January 11, 2020January 11, 2020 Altazar Rossiter

In our sanitised, everyday, civilised world nobody owns slaves any more. Slavery and forced labour were abolished over 200 years ago in Britain, so it’s perhaps surprising that the practice was not fully outlawed worldwide till 1981.
However, notwithstanding its abolition, slavery persists under the surface of many cultural norms. Acceptance of those norms is often a requisite of good citizenship.

What Would Love Do?

An awful lot of people are now feeling that the world is just wrong, without knowing what’s wrong or how to be with that feeling. There also a lot more people wondering what’s wrong with those of us who feel that the world is wrong. …

Taking the Red Pill

May 30, 2019June 25, 2019 Altazar Rossiter

There’s sickness afflicting humanity, like a worm eating away at the heart of human consciousness. It’s no regular kind of sickness that can be cleared up by our biological immune system or medication. It’s an invisible mental sickness that has thrived on the ignorance, and innocence, of human beings for thousands of years.

New Age Romantics – The Twin Flame Trap

May 6, 2019December 10, 2019 Altazar Rossiter

The Myth There’s a kind of new age myth that afflicts people who awaken to a personal spiritual path. It catches many who are desperate for a relationship where they feel loved, seen and heard. It goes a bit like this … LonelinessLike most new age concepts, terms such as “twin souls”, “twin flames” and “soul mates” need to be treated with caution. They’re loaded with expectation, judgement, new age delusion … and potential for misery. People will often fall into a relationship based on an idea that they’ve met their twin flame, or soul-mate. It doesn’t matter much what you call it. What isn’t realised is that there can be many reasons for the intense sense of connection. One of the most routine is that finding someone to share your spiritual awakening with can seem like the solution to an intense loneliness you’ve… Read moreNew Age Romantics – The Twin Flame Trap

Visibility

January 22, 2019January 22, 2019 Altazar Rossiter

Over the winter solstice period and for a lot of January I go into a kind of hibernation mode – or try to. However, whenever I get to take a break the energy [Spirit] takes the opportunity to give me a workout. So the winter solstice period is a time when I invariably go into a meltdown of my own. This has always been a deepening process. It’s a personal reconfiguration and not particularly comfortable. This winter it’s been no different. Two main threads surfaced: the Witch Wound and Slavery, both of which correlate with visibility. THE WITCH WOUNDThe Witch Wound comes up regularly in workshops, and I’ve worked on my own version of it before. This time it became clear that this wound is related to visibility. Where there’s actually a residue of terror of being seen for the “witch” I am, held… Read moreVisibility
