Archetypal Labyrinths

Original Source ↗

Today I will tell you about labyrinths. All material concerning these elements of the world was acquired by two Dream Hackers from our group – Doc and Tan Bow, whom you are accustomed to calling Tambov.

Broadly speaking, there are two types of labyrinths – archetypal (common to all humankind) and personal (pertaining to the individual). The first category includes the Labyrinth of Life (LL), the Labyrinth of Events (LE), and the Labyrinth of Attachments (LA). These three formations permeate the Tonal. We encounter them both in waking reality and in Dreaming. Unlike our individual labyrinths, archetypal labyrinths have specific manifestations in the material world. For instance, they cannot be depicted on a Dreaming map as a specific location (though the layers of the map are complexly connected to them). In waking reality, we can only speak of them from the perspectives of philosophy, psychology, and mysticism. But surely each of you has experienced the turning of the Wheel of Fortune or journeys through the "labyrinths of chance."

Labyrinth of Life (LL)

To grasp the idea of the LL, re-read Florinda Donner's "The Witch's Dream." So, the LL. Its concept implies a sphere permeated by radial tunnels that intersect each other with millions of passages. How do dreamers, mystics, sorcerers, shamans, and witches work with the LL? Differently. Some move "themselves" (their energy, consciousness, and god knows what else) through round, "dark" passages towards something "light." Or, conversely – towards a circle of blackness. Movements through the LL's tunnels are very interesting and directly depend on "will" and experience. The walls of the tunnels are perceived in a complex visual-tactile-gustatory complex of sensations. There is color, and sounds, and tactile sensations of juiciness, softness, dampness: and life, independent of us. Moving through the LL's tunnels, a person experiences various transformations of their personal power (this can be a feeling of flight, soaring, a surge of energy, certain altered states of consciousness). But, above all, movement through the LL's tunnels leads to changes in life situations. (A variant of movement can be the rotation of a huge wheel relative to "oneself." But, as one shaman told me, only a fool waits for the mountain to come to Mohammed. The clever one drags Mohammed into the mountains and throws him into the abyss, hoping he will finally experience flight into the Nagual. In other words, the second method requires more effort than the first. Though, the master is the owner.)

Many people often get stuck in "dead ends." Consequently, their life acquires an element of stagnation – every day is the same, "dreary weekdays," nothing new, everything grey and pale. Our unconscious movement through the LL (which is 99.999% of it) is determined by a complex program that Doc and Tambov have not yet "cracked." The formula involves factors such as the modality of time, the influence that surrounding people and events have on your life, your energy losses, etc. Why, for instance, are old people so inactive and why is their life so "grey"? Because of illnesses? No, there are many people whose illnesses are worse, yet their lives are incredibly interesting. It's simply that the "fuel" has run out. There's no strength to set the Wheel of Fortune in motion or to slide into another of its branches oneself.

The LL deceives with promises – it offers you the opportunity to improve your life. It's like a kind of "roulette": we spin the wheel, throw ourselves like a ball, and bounce along the black and white stripes of life. It seems, just one more turn, one more attempt, and I will achieve "the good life." But no! Empty expenditure of personal power! After a month of such practice, a person loses interest in it, and their life becomes even "greyer." Although sometimes there is a successful movement. But even then, the lucky one starts to flail, losing their own power. Yes, my friends, there is no escaping the LL. If we compare a person to a ball, they are carried around this "bearing" until they "wear out" (until their personal power is expended). However, "wear and tear" can be minimized. And if you consider the main concepts of the warrior's path, described by CC, from this perspective, the absolute necessity of erasing personal history and the so-called life review will become clear to you. But it's not for me to teach you what is important and what is not. The LL includes sectors of people, the animal and plant world, as well as Inorganic Beings. The sector of Inorganic Beings interfaces with ours. Some part of it is accessible to us, and our sector is accessible to them. Inorganic Beings have found their way to prolong life. They have become part of the LL and are gradually "mastering" it, expanding their influence.

Labyrinth of Events (LE)

Now I will humbly proceed to describe the LE – the Labyrinth of Events. You probably know what pinball is. Your father pulled the "launch mechanism." You, the "ball," shot through your mother's "guide tube," burst into the world and flew through sectors of events: nursery, kindergarten, school, army/university, marriage, work, retirement... Along the way, you encountered obstacles, bounced off to the side, crossed sectors of luck and misfortune, darted along unknown paths of fate. And all this happened in the pinball machine called LE. This pinball is common to all people. That is, you have to collide with a bunch of other "balls." And the most terrifying place in the game is a one by two-meter hole, which signifies death. We can consider the LE a kind of cause-and-effect matrix, with complex rules and interconnections of events. Each of you knows that some combinations of events fulfill our desires, while others turn life into infernal torment. And, of course, some would like to take "control" of the movement themselves. The will of chance is a respected thing, but many dislike it. And certain types, like DH and CC, tried to replace it with their own intention. As you know, Dream Hackers have developed a method of conscious event substitutions which, when included in Chains of Events, yield the necessary results. From the outside, the method seems simple – shuffle a deck of cards and something works out. But the truth is far from this image. In fact, calculating a Chains of Events is as complex as the calculations of an alchemist or an astrologer. We are not yet providing detailed information about this method for two reasons: not everything has been proven in practice; and Spam has undertaken an upgrade of classifications. He wants to simplify the systems of calculation and develop a certain graphical module – a kind of DNA chain of the universe.

It should be noted that the LE in Dreaming is significantly simplified. This is also an unravelled mystery of existence that deserves much thought. For example, transits in Dreaming are clearer than in waking reality. Movements in space are sharper and more unpredictable. On the other hand, studying transits in waking reality brings incredible pleasure, because sometimes you begin to feel like a magician. Working with the LE is largely determined by success in practices such as stalking (primarily recapitulation) and studying the art of intention. We have spoken much about this. Anyone who wishes to follow this path will find good guidance.

Labyrinth of Attachments (LA)

The most vile of the three archetypal labyrinths is the LA – the Labyrinth of Attachments. Attachment is not merely "tender feelings" towards something or someone. It is, by and large, a trap for attention. Our "little weaknesses" steal personal power. All these sweethearts, darlings, buddies, and girlfriends weave around us an impenetrable cocoon of emotional dependencies. Add to this attachments to tobacco, alcohol, drugs, televisions, books, computers, forums, and a host of similar "pythons" that entangle our consciousness and steal time, energy, and opportunities. The LA is like the interior of an accordion: a multitude of holes (small personal abysses). Air from the bellows flows from these holes. When you, a piston, descend upon one of them, you begin to experience a certain complex of sensations (as if sounding a particular note). But unlike an accordion, once you acquire an attachment and get stuck in a hole, you will resonate with that one vibration for life, becoming fixed in specific patterns: addicted, excessively gentle, unfailingly kind, or childishly naive.

Shamans and witches have learned to use elements of the LA for their own needs: these include power plants, certain rituals, NLP, zombification methods, "tell me all the truth, just grease my palm," etc. The LA provides powerful means for various manipulations of human consciousness. But, as we know, the path of magicians differs somewhat from the path of a man of knowledge. And it must be said that Dream Hackers aspire to the pursuit of knowledge, not power. Any teaching that extracts money from you, even the very, very, very best – DEIR, Human Ecology, White Lotus, or fundraising for starving Zanzibar – all of it is manipulation of your consciousness. Dream Hackers give away their knowledge for free, and they don't care whether you use their developments or not. Nevertheless, they are not indifferent. Any of you can join the group, provided you do so in a Lucid Dream (a mischievous heh-heh-heh). Enter a Lucid Dream, express your intention, and establish contact with one of the Dream Hackers known to you. And we will snatch you up!!!

If this mad desire arises in you, take care of the following: prepare a motive for disappearing from your world, put your affairs in order, write a will (hee-hee-hee), but, above all, buy a bag of toilet paper! Because the first enemy Dream Hackers defeat with their diarrhea. No, it's better to say, they flood with their diarrhea! And on this optimistic note, I will conclude the first part of the story about labyrinths. To be continued.
