For me, books provide hypotheses that I then test by repeated experiment, preferably with a competent friend observing in real time. I posted some experiments that might be useful to you. You might like to try them. Generally I am suspicious of the concept of "gods". Such a concept promotes the ideas of worship and workshop - thereby avoiding/denying the spiritual authority anchored in the standard human format. Who/what would benefit from such avoidance/denial?

Personally I prefer Shakespeare's approach: There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

How do you protect yourself from adverse entities that are too strong? Do adverse emotions and thoughts make the person vulnerable?

Only just noticed this post. I often see people with low kidney energy. A close neighbor said he felt faint - and he seemed to me to have about 5% kidney energy level. I taught him when breathing in, to draw life force into the kidneys and leave it there on the out-breath. When I saw him the next day his kidney energies were up to 40% and he was functioning well. Some of those with low kidney energy have told me their blood tests are fine. So I suspect that the blood is not using physical substances to carry the life force.

>The intelligence of the personality will You may recall in the Castaneda writings that Don Juan refers to the mind as a "foreign intelligence". That is a useful, if approximate statement. Each chakra properly has an intelligence to operate the relevant part of the human energy body. Thus there is an intelligence that operates the physical body and its thousands of parallel biological and energetic processes and sub-intelligences. Sometimes trauma and toxicity result in the managing intelligence giving up, leaving its subsidiary intelligences, including elementals, to do the best they can. Severe autism often is a symptom. The energies of the mental plane used in the human mind can be divided into lower and higher mental. The lower sub-plane substances properly are managed by a dedicated intelligence that can be called: the personal will. The PW protects its primary asset: its self esteem. It hates to be wrong, and will defend that asset by turning away from events, energies, relationships and intelligences that dispute its "wisdom". The PW is valuable as it forces the personality to get its act together - to protect the self-esteem of the PW. That requires the personality to control physical and emotional desires and lower frequency mental processes. Eventually the human has the personality sufficiently controlled that the human can interact with transpersonal/spiritual energies. At that point the PW fights for its continued existence. Eventually, after many incarnations the human spirit is strong enough to overcome the PW and the PW miraculously discovers that it actually has a higher function: creatively expressing the spiritual nature of the human spirit.

Same as St George: the personality will needs to be controlled and transformed as a precondition to enlightenment

That is likely to be symbolic - a more severe account than the tradition of St George taming the dragon and leading it through the market. That is a reference to the human learning to control its personality will. The intelligence of the personality will, as a precondition to first stage enlightenment, is moved by the human spirit, from defensive control of the personality to a new role of creativity.

The term dragon may be used figuratively. Many ancient visitors were depicted with scales such as the Asar/Osiris and Aset/Isis (brother and sister) Here are the Hindu Nagas - reputed to appear as human, or human on a reptilian body, or all reptilian Here are Fuxi and Nuwa, brother and sister, standing amongst the stars, with the square and compasses still used in Freemasonry - in a somewhat Masonic embrace commemorated(?) with foot, knee and hand over back. Here is a Thai version

Agreed. The Light usually flows vertically into the head and heart of the standard human. It is not so hard to see that Light - as it occurs in Existence/Creation. There is also unmanifest Light that is more part of The Source of All and less part of manifested Existence. Those streams are harder to see - being less connected to Existence. Those streams of unmanifest Light seem to carry the Intent of The Source of All. Thus TSoA holds Existence in on-going manifestation while participating more closely in suitable aspects. Soul-bearing specimens may progress to become suitable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesed_(Kabbalah) For many years I have had voice(s) in my head. The voice(s) have been very useful - suggesting more efficient/effective thoughts/actions. None of those voices has ever produced grinding or pain. It is important to learn how to test entities and statements. For example, go back into the scene with the being on the throne. - Put next to the entity the words: "The Source of All". What happens to the words? - Intend and visualize a stream of light from your heart going to the entity. What happens? - Visualize a plumbline just above the entity's head. What happens to the plumbline?

The issue occurs on several levels. On the densest level, it seems that humanoid life outside this planet is male, female and genderless. Many genderless forms are produced in incubation systems and can be semi-biological - an upmarket form of Artificial Intelligence. Other genderless forms may be cloned - for example when the incarnating spirit needs to replace its existing body. The gender-fluidity propounded over the last decade may have been to prepare Earth humanity for being managed by genderless forms. The standard format Earth human, at spiritual/transpersonal levels has no need of gender but may progress over vast periods through right intelligence, right relationship, right intent, and perhaps: right transaction. Currently this galaxy is largely focused on right relationship - hence the somewhat narrow saying: our god is a god of love. The standard human seems to be an anchoring of a structure of much greater beings, loosely labelled as Higher Self. The Higher Self may have many parallel anchors across species, galaxies and timelines. The anchors may function in various modes across the out-breath and in-breath of The Source of All - transcending human concepts of good and evil.

It is good to have several modes of operation. Are there modes beyond male and female? What modes might a co-creator use?

I found that meaning became clearer as I understood more about what is spiritual in myself. As the saying goes: The kingdom of heaven is within.

These days some Christian theologies tell us that humans are co-creators with "God". If that is the case the intelligence named "God" might have some strong views about the functioning of co-creators

Perhaps I might find a god that has a better memory
