Hi, Guys! How are we doing?

We turn now to Ophiel’s vignette, Your Other You; we shall go over this vignette a bit at time, as it is really quiet superb. We read Ophiel’s Opening statement,

 “Dear Students, in this Vignette I am presenting a new-old 4,000 year old idea, so please bear with me as I am out on the frontier/fringes of the Etheric-Astral-Mental Planes and I am all alone. All I can do is to notice effects and to try not only to understand them, dimly, BUT try to make some kind of working disposition/disposal/formulatioin/array/line-up/methodisation/groupage and/or many such like words to ‘USE DOWN HERE.’ End quote. (Capitols are ‘O’s) 

Ophiel’s, ‘DOWN HERE’ includes the Malkuth Earth/Hades as well as the/our, outer, outer physically physical world. This is what we are ‘looking at’ in our, Chair Exercise. It is important that you remember/recall as often as is, possible/necessary for you, that we are working/dealing with Binding:

Ophiel continues with this: “(Apparently the 4,000-year-old idea was never put to any ‘USE,’ unless the astute Egyptian scribes; failed to write down the use, which is probably what happened. If there is a bunch of people somewhere on this earth plane who ‘KNOW?’ and ‘USE’ these things, this knowledge, they are sure hiding it from me. But we'll root out the secrets, won't we?)” End quote. (Capitols and Underlines are ‘O’s.) 

The rite of the two brothers, and the Sut/Typhon + Horus, myth are the beginnings of these things, which does not matter one jot, as it is only about what we can ‘do now,’ that matters, (Yes? No?); the first thing an individual person, can do, to assist themselves, is to realise and then to accept, that they are, Dual? Not by accident! Not by chance! Not by circumstance! BUT BY THE MERE REASON, OF THAT IS THE ‘WAY’ THAT IT IS! So, we must ‘WORK WITH,’ what we have, what we have been given, and what we are! WE ARE DUAL!? (Duality, means in/on the/same ‘one,’ plane!?) Ophiel then writes: 

“Especially do I refer to the Egyptian KA or Double idea, which they depict in their tombs, to get on with it and to bring it down to today? I, being seventy years old, have come to a form of realisation, - not self-realisation - in the usual meaning of the word; But another form of self-realisation, that in dealing with many people/persons, I cognise that there seems to be TWO people there?” End quote. (Capitols and Underlines are ‘O’s.) 

Once a person has, established, their Cosmic Egg Exercise and, defined/established, their own, personal space, (By/with the Three Dimensionality of the Five Basic Elemental Force Symbols) they can ‘look’ for this, Duality, in themselves and in others. The more they, recognise it, in themselves, then the more they, recognise, in others, because of their, own personal experiences, Vav = Taste/Experience = Gnosis. First you would have to, recognise, your own, ‘Other Self’, and then it becomes easier to, recognise, ‘it’ in others. Ophiel then continues: 

“(I am slightly familiar with the psychological concept of the split personality. I do not mean that. I mean something much deeper. I am also familiar with the concept of the Etheric double and I do not mean that, either.) I seem to find/think/conceive that a person seems to have built up a second, ‘Person’ who more or less functions through the, ‘Visible’ person. Let us call them P1 and P2. P1 being the actual person and P2 being the opposite person, or shall we call them ‘Personalities?’” End quote. 

The ‘second person’ is the Malkuth Earth/Hades, reflex = For Every Force/Action, there is an Equal and Opposite/Force Re-Action! So, the actual, factual, literal act of living, sets up a residual, ‘shock wave,’ in between, the/our Outer, Outer Physically Physical and the, first proper Inner Plane Etheric/Moon/Yesod Plane!? Also, because of this Malkuth Earth/Hade location/Place/Plane, it can’t be, seen, BUT! IT CAN BE FELT!! ALSO, ITS EFFECTS CAN BE FELT!?
The outer Ego Personality, is covered in Ophiel’s vignette, Why Do You Let The Devil ‘USE’ You? In its relationship with the, Silent Partner Personality: Please read it along with these present monologues. 
Here is how it is, for us? I, me (sender) have an, outer, outer physically physical body and a/an, outer/inner Malkuth Earth/Hades body! BUT! Each of those ‘bodies,’ has a ‘personality conscious-ness’ and each ‘ness,’ protrudes/intrudes and partakes, into and onto each of two halves/sides of the Plane of Earth! (Malkuth + Physical) The ‘Bodies,’ work in harmony, almost all the time, but, if and when there is/are, ‘conflicts,’ between the, Silent Partner and the Outer Ego/Personality Conscious, then it, ‘seems as if,’ the Whole World is, against, the outer, outer physically physical body! Which is, NOT TRUE! The Malkuth Earth/Hades Body Must Obey!? Even to the point of Injury, Failure, Addiction and/or Death!? It is the outer, outer physically physical ‘Ego Conscious’ that does not ‘understand!?’ (And so, the outer, outer conscious vessel, the physically physical body, suffers!? FROM ITS OWN, IGNORANCE) Ophiel describes this, ignorance, in the next paragraph. 

“Let us digress for a moment. In the Gospels (Good spells) there are the stories about how after the dipping in the river, Jesus goes off into the desert (Although he was already in the desert?) and the 'Devil' appears. Now, this Devil is named in Greek ‘The Adversary’ or ‘Accuser’ Dictionary: Slanderer. The name translated into ‘Devil’ has no-thing to do with all that Lucifer, Satan, Fallen Angle crud. “IT” is just called ‘The Adversary’ or the ‘Opposer.’ This ‘Adversary,’ claims that ‘HE’ is the ruler of the world (physical world.) Hence, the implication is that ‘IT’ is the ‘CREATOR’ of this physical world.” Capitols and Underlines are ‘O’s.) 

This was shown in the letter of St Augustus of Hippo, message #715, in the list, here is what Augustus writes about the/our Adversary/Opposer, please read it carefully!

“Who is this ‘adversary?” If the devil; we have been delivered from him already. What price was given for us that we might be redeemed from him! Of which the Apostle says, speaking this redemption, “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love.” We have been redeemed, we have renounced the devil; how shall we “give diligence to be delivered from him,” that he makes us not, as sinners, his captive again? But this is not the “adversary” of whom the Lord gives us warning.” End quote.

In the above two quotes, is/are an, explanation, of the Malkuth Earth/Hades Plane and its, reflex resistance, reflex adverse-ness, reflex opposition. But also, please note! A DEAL, AGREEMENT, ARRANGEMENT, COMPROMISE, PARTNERSHIP, IS HAPPENING HERE!? For over 4000 years there has been people/persons who, knew/know of this, ‘Deal/Partnership,’ and we call/refer to them as, successful, lucky, born into it, made it, were destined for it, initiated, etc, etc! 

What is your opinion/view on this part of Augustus letter: “But this is not the “adversary” of whom, the Lord gives us warning.” End quote

Strange, eh?! The Devil! With whom we struck the deal with, is not the Adversary, in this letter! We are looking at a totally separate issue? (Adversary, Opposer) and here is what Augusts writes; 

“For in another place another Evangelist has so expressed it, that if we join both expressions together, and compare both expressions of the two Evangelists with each other, we shall soon understand who this adversary is. For see, what did Luke say here? “When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, give diligence in the way to be delivered from him.” End quote.

Then we read: “But the other Evangelist has expressed this same thing thus ‘Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him.’ All the rest is alike.” End quote.

The worthy ancient Christians referred to, ‘Living Life’, as the ‘Way’, so in the second quote, we are, Living Life ‘WITH’ OUR ADVERSARY/OPPOSER!?! IT/HE, THE ADVERSARY/OPPOSER, IS ‘US??’ Then we read this part: “Both Evangelists have explained this alike. One said ‘Give diligence in the way to be delivered from him’ the other said “Agree with him.” For thou wilt not be able to ‘be delivered from him." unless thou ‘Agree with him.’ Wouldest thou ‘be delivered from him?’ ‘Agree with him.’ But what?! Is it the devil? with whom the Christian ought to ‘agree?’

HOW DO YOU AGREE? WITH IT? HOW DO YOU AGREE? WITH YOUR ‘OPPOSER/ADVERSARY?’ 

First, you would have to ‘accept’ that such a ‘thing’, as an Adversary/Opposer was ‘real’? 
Second, you would have to find out, all you can/could about it/him. 
Third, you would have to, ‘AGREE WITH IT/HIM?’ 

Here is what Ophiel writes in his vignette, Your Other You! 

“(Then when you consider all the baloney that has cluttered up the Path leading to Truth -Whew, these old clichés - is it not any wonder that the metaphysical concepts are obscured by Ignorance with a capital ‘I.’ I am writing another vignette called ‘Magical Workings on Matter’ and the two of them are perhaps fouling each other up, but they are connected. So, I guess you should get the other vignette, too, and read it in connection with this one.) The point we have come to in one vignette, is the question of ‘Who?’ or ‘What?’ created the ‘Physical World’ and what is man's connection with this world's creation. Now, in this vignette, we are faced with the rather possible fact that ‘WE ACT LIKE A DOUBLE?’ that we have a ‘DUPLICATE?’ of ourselves, which is/acts contrary to what we seem really to want to be.” End quote. (Capitols and Underlines are ‘O’s.) 

I, wish to ‘stand,’ my opposer/adversary says, no! So, I agree, with him/it and, ‘bind it/him,’ by/with, ‘pushing-down,’ this allows/permits me to, ‘stand!’ My, adversary/opposer has said no, so I agree with it/him and push-down, thus ‘binding it/him,’ and then, ego-conscious-me, stands up!? I wish to bring something/someone to/towards me, my adversary/opposer says, no! So, I agree, with it/him, (bind it/him,) and I ‘stay still,’ so they = someone/something, must come to/towards me! (See/Read Ophiel’s vignette, How to Control and Dominate Others) Here is what Ophiel writes in his next paragraph, of his vignette, Your Other You: 

“An, ‘OPPOSER’ an, ‘ACCUSER’ an, ‘ADVERSARY’ a ‘SLANDERER’ all of these words carry the connotation of something, a ‘BEING,’ that is the opposite of ourselves in every way but which is not present to our ‘PHYSICAL VIEW?’ It lets itself ‘BE FELT?’ in its opposing everything we want to be or to do. To make matters worse, any persons with whom you attempt to deal with in life, ‘THEY TOO ARE TWO.’ When you go to them, say, with a plan for something new, your opposer will contact his double/opposer and stimulate that opposing double to reject or slander or belittle your P1's ideas or plans, to both your and their loss and detriment. To put it more clearly, perhaps; You are P1 (personality one) and your opposer/devil is called P2 (personality 2). Your human contact, is, say P3 (personality three) and P4 (personality four is their opposite/double.) so while you P1 is talking to them, P3. Your P2 is mentally ‘Talking’ to their P4 and doing the ‘NEGATIVE WORK, ALL UNBEKNOWNST TO P1 AND P2.’ Hence, using some factors/functions unknown to me now, these ‘OPPOSING’ personalities - in this case your P2 and P4 (the other persons P2) - in some way seem to ‘RULE? This physical world! Look about you now; it is only a most unusual type person who can forge ahead in this world seemingly without effort. Evidently such a person has firm control over their P2. Or they have converted their P2 to assist with the aims of their P1. Also, such P1's seem to dominate the P2's of others, so that the ‘Devils’ don't function malfically in his presence.” End quote. (Capitols and Underlines are ‘O’s.)

It is with regards to this part, that we are ‘sending’ about; “An, ‘OPPOSER’ an, ‘ACCUSER’ an, ‘ADVERSARY’ a ‘SLANDERER’ all of these words carry the connotation of something, a ‘BEING,’ that is the opposite of ourselves in every way but which is not present to our ‘PHYSICAL VIEW?’ It lets itself ‘BE FELT?’ in its opposing everything we want to be or to do.” End quote. (Capitols and Underlines are ‘O’s.) 

IT IS THIS, ‘LETS ITSELF BE FELT,’ THAT WE ARE ‘USING,’ HERE, in our basic Chair Exercise, which is ‘why’, it is important, that at the very least, that you should consider doing/practicing it, to sense/feel, if you have an, opportunity, to ‘work in partnership’ with your, Adversary/Opposer, Silent Partner and whether your, ‘Ego-Conscious’ can, ‘accept and be educated’ into the, knowledge/knowing, (Gnosis = personal experience) of how to do/learn this, partnership, and make it ‘work for you’!? Then Ophiel continues: 

“(I suppose some smart Alec critics are going to scream that this phenomenon I am describing is something peculiar to me, to my personality alone and hence, of no real value. Not so! I noted something was wrong in my life years ago but wasn't able to pinpoint it. It wasn't until recent growth insights that I have put 2 and 2 together and got 22. 
By recognising this same phenomenon in others and re-linking it to my own experiences and me.  Now I recognise it in almost everyone I meet, upon contact, to some degree.) So again, the question comes up, ‘What can be done?!’ There are some courses of action, - not really remedies - as such.) End quote.
 
As you do/practice your, Cosmic Egg Exercise and ‘define’ your ‘edge,’ of your Cosmic Egg, you will/shall, sense/feel, it in others! And so, with the Chair Exercise, as you come to, ‘recognise these things’ in yourself, you will/shall ‘recognise them’ in others. Ophiel then writes in the next paragraphs: 

“Course of ‘Action’ 3, Re-educate P2: Unless P2 is trained at a very early stage I can see no hope of changing it when it is old and established - not completely -. Then again, by the very nature of the creature, P2 is just automatically the opposite of P1 -viz.- when P1 is kind P2 is cruel. But there might be a way that P2 can be rendered inoperative or that both P1 and P2 can become modified, so that they are a mixture of 50/50 equal, half good/half bad, whatever that can mean. You might have a stern-kind-just-exact type of man who alternates slightly between extremes and as I said, ‘is neither too much one and not too much of the other.” End quote. 

Let us ‘change/adjust’ Ophiel’s lines, in the above quote: we read this; 

“Then again, by the very nature of the creature, P2 is just automatically the opposite of P1 -viz.- when P1 is kind P2 is cruel.” End quote.

So now we read this: “Then again, by the very nature of the creature, P2 is just automatically the opposite of P1 -viz.- when P1 is standing P2 is sitting.” Do you sense/feel/understand the ‘binding’ that does the above? Do you/have sensed/felt it in you? If ‘yes’ then that ‘is’ your Silent Partner/Adversary/Opposer IN YOU!?! Ophiel continues with this:

“Then again, the above could depend on what the customs of the country are at the time. P1 and P2 could both have been educated according to contemporary standards (Which change from decade to decade.) P1 and P2 could each have 50-50 basics but things like a mid-Victorian prudery could force dislocations, which distort both P1 and P2 and would be called ‘Evil’ when it truly isn't. But what I was really thinking of was a person's P2 opposing their P1 in everything, according to the 50/50 suggestions; the P1 could be moderately optimistic and moderately pessimistic. Aggressive but intelligently cautious, thus there would be no unrestrained expansions of P1 and thus no vicious and wild expansions of P2.” End quote. 

Here is the part that we are ‘looking at’: “according to the 50/50 suggestions; the P1 could be moderately optimistic and moderately pessimistic. Aggressive but intelligently cautious, thus there would be no unrestrained expansions of P1 and thus no vicious and wild expansions of P2.” End quote.

This is the ‘Partnership,’ that we (Ego-Conscious-ness,) should be ‘trying for,’ but first, we must have experience, in some kind of ‘sense/feel,’ of some kind, WHERE THE ‘CONSCIOUS,’ CAN COME INTO CONTACT AND UNDERSTANDING, OF THE/THEIR OWN, ‘ADVERSARY/OPPOSER,’ AND THUS, ‘STOP FIGHTING?? THEMSELVES’!! (This ‘exercise’ if done properly, will/shall also ‘open-up,’ a wider ‘sphere of availability,’ for the individual.) Here is how Ophiel finishes his vignette, Your Other You! 

“I wonder if the preceding idea is too simple. Can a person, after a lifetime of emotional upsets and storms settle down into an evening-out process? Look at yourself and your own life; see if you can detect the presence of P2 and its actions. How do your two personalities get along together? I shall write more when I have more information/knowledge.” End quote. 

Zagreus & Dionysus, Heracles & Iphicles, Jesus The Christ & Jesus The Barabbas, etc, etc; please see/read previous post/messages, Twins and Things #1734/1735, 04/08/2004, Parable & Allegory. Try the Chair Exercise, and try to, ‘sense/feel’, how it is, for ‘YOUR OTHER YOU!’ and when/if ‘Ego-Conscious’ you, is up to it? TRY TO FIND WAYS TO ‘BECOME FRIENDS’, WITH YOUR, ADVERSARY/OPPOSER!! (TWIN)!?!

Wishing you all, every success, as ever,
