This is a subject which I am going to return to later from different angles of how and if it can be cleared. The recognition of this is something which I have found fundamental to my spiritual development especially as my parents and wife’s parents have been approaching the end of their lives.
This article is from my experiences, from what I see and what has happened to me so take it in that limited concept and see how it affects you.
Over the last 15 to 20 years this part of the energy body has caused many problems for me but has also been a fascinating journey of discovery and release.
As we look onto our world we have our eyes of inner and outer worlds and the mind then projects itself out to form our daily life. Directly in front of this vision of life I see the pattern of the individual which is part of that individual and part family patterns from parents. These patterns stretch back down the family lines into history. Then there are country patterns, class patterns, school patterns etc formed throughout life.
Then beyond or through this patterning lies the actual functioning of the active mind or at least mind sees life coloured and felt through these patterns. And then beyond this pattern you can exert some form of common senses or rational twisted and turned by the ignorant pattern.
The upper mind appears to sit mostly above this pattern observing mind and starting to see patterns but can only be bought into action over it through constant awareness.
For the mind this is more straightforward but the patterns are what make us and so its most difficult to see these patterns as they are our normality, almost invisible.
The patterns I am most interested in and had the most effect were those established early on, the family patterns which start to impress on you from the moment of conception. Your parents patterns are the ancestors patterns, as of course your parents patterns were gathered from their parents and then modified by the society they lived in and so on back into history.
These patterns aren’t anyone ‘s fault and aren’t really owned by anyone as they stretch back into time. They are just there and in front of you to deal with, and be able to see through so you can see the clarity beyond, the light, unpolluted light of God.
I don’t regard this as functioning mind, it is more a cloud which mind has to look through and it colours out actions, an inherited cloud.
So while we can gain control over the mind, these patterns can defy common sense and you may often think, why did they do that, it just doesn’t make sense….or at least not to you. This I have seen as the cloud of family / life patterns which could most likely also include your past life patterns. I didn’t look too far into this, I just looked to deal with what was there blocking out the light and causing trouble in my energy and emotional body.
Even though we can clear the mind and gain control over it there is still this aspect of past Mind from families and impression of life which has to be looked through.
As I grew older and my parents and wife’s parents approached the end of their lives these patterns seemed to get detached and come to the surface. Particularly at night they could enter your mind like a wondering spirit .
For me the patterns which persisted and could be distinguished from my own mind and not related to what was happening. These patterns as they impress or colour the mind attempt to attach to every day happening and colour the mood.
For me the patterns or clouds which came in were.
Anxiety, sense of loss, things going wrong, inability to get things right.
Added to these patterns would be your upbringing which of course has to be peppered by a parents guiding hand of what is right or wrong which no doubt gives these patterns their extra weight.
How to clear them and if that is possible is another question.
