It is vital that we begin to parse out some of the deeper questions around the nature of the spiritual war that we find ourselves in today…
This is truly a spiritual crisis - a great transition - one which seems to be invisible to so many.
Based upon the work of master Sri Aurobindo, yogi and scholar Neelesh Marik has taken the time to dive deeper into the esoteric origins of evil, and what it is that is occurring on subtler realms in this great turning. Much of this was prophesied by Sri Aurobindo and his partner, The Mother.
What he has come to (which aligns with so many of us) is that because this is a spiritual war, the solution calls for the rise of the spiritual warrior.
The spiritual warrior is born only through the alchemical process of transmutation, where one takes the incredible courage to dive deeper into shadow work and engage the ancestral healing that is needed for an upward evolutionary process to occur.
In this way and through this incredible transformation, we are able to perceive the darkness much more clearly. Most importantly, we are able to see to it’s root.
If we are incapable of perceiving the root, than we are incapable of truly transforming the nature of what is occurring.
This identification is crucial, as the nature of evil itself operates through co-opting and inverting that which we believe is good. Evil hides in broad daylight, and within our culture, it is often misidentified as a benevolent force. This is where we find ourselves today.
The shadow forces hide within unconsciousness, and grow through our perpetuation of ignorance and fear, which prevent us from identifying the spark of light and truth.
Most people turn their back upon the process of alchemical transfiguration, and continue to project their own shadow life outward. Because of this, they are unable to allow for any true, deep transfiguration.
This is why the inner work is most important, as it prepares us to see towards the seeds of light and truth, and then to act, in this world, accordingly.
Without the light of such perception, we remain in the darkness, often aligning ourselves with nefarious forces. Through such alignment, the spiritual warrior within cannot be born.
