Most religions write in their own interests. My repeated observation of souls (solar deva/angel) is that they care for quite a few human incarnations in parallel. Thus the human spirit may lose its over-lighting soul during an incarnation - but that usually is restored for the next incarnation I have observed cases such as severe autism where the soul has withdrawn. Sometimes the cause of withdrawal can be addressed.

On the other hand Christianity is introducing the concept of being a co-creator with God. Hopefully co-creators are not random in their actions The Hindu concept of Atma is interesting. In the human context that operates as spiritual intent - setting a direction. In most humans spiritual intent rests upon outcomes without specifying process. Process is delegated to other intelligences.

The central precondition to first stage enlightenment is control of the personality. That means control of physical desires, control of emotional desires and control of thoughts Men tend to achieve in that order. Women can sometimes control the heart before the mind Control of the personality allows stillness

In my youth I encountered the concept of: Entering into the Silence. Eventually I discovered that the Silence is not empty, it was merely that my inner hearing had not developed.

No hope for humans?

When a performance attracts the Muses, the performance is music. When the Muses do not come, Wagner called those tonal performances When a Mage does something with intent, the action is magic.

How do I get past the hallucination?

It seems to me that the core spiritual practices change with the unfolding of Earth humanity. For example, when I was brought up in Christianity, the human was so inferior to God that it needed to be saved. These days the concept of co-creator is creeping in. Perhaps humans are partners with The Source of All.

Yesterday I was looking at an internet friend who had complained about spiritual difficulties. I could see a blockage in his heart chakra ( half-way up the personal heart) so I pulled on it, but he would not release the blockage. Later he posted that he had unresolved anger. Hopefully he will deal with those relationships

It may be better to consider that both options are true. If so, proper (clean) relationships may be required with all parties relevant to the proposed actions.

Impressed!

In my view that is an entry to right relationship. The human starts by learning right energy and graduates to right relationship and then to right intent. With right intent it is possible to function cleanly within the Oneness. Right intent, in my view is the primary precondition for the third stage enlightenment

Humans like to think that they are the primary intelligence present.

My observation of the pre-creational is that it is structured and intentional - otherwise it would produce chaos I tend to agree with Pythagoras when he told us that numbers are alive. Certainly I felt numbers were unhappy when misused in equations. Number is conceived not as a mental abstraction but something which exists in and composes all things. https://ba278b9d8106536501a2-57da1f3fe93ccf3a9828e6ce67c3d52c.ssl.cf5.rackcdn.com/ws_03_leonessi.pdf

My own observation of this universe is that it is not chaotic. Energies belong to entities and the entities have purpose - even if misdirected. A chaotic set of practices is likely to make few friends in the Cosmos
