The Inner Guide meditation
The Inner Guide Meditation; a relatively obscure and idiosyncratic book first published in the 1960s, after hearing it mentioned by a Jungian astrologer on a you tube video. What made it interesting to me is that even though it's basically been forgotten by contemporary esoteric voyagers the ideas it contains have had an influence on most of the creative visualization based stuff that became popularized in the late 80s on through the 90s (including the neo-shamanic fad).
Steinbrecher, a jungian analyst turned astrologer, is probably the guy that sparked that whole genre of guided tarot meditation crap. The only thing is - the actual system that Steinbrecher outlines in this book is one of the most ingenious, creative and innovative modern spiritual systems I have come across; the quixotic love child of jungian concepts, astrology, tarot and the practice of active imagination. That watered down talk-to-a-tarot-card page filling nonsense that would become plastered across every New Age book store, in fact, had its roots in a remarkably unique system of inner work.
There are so many more things you can learn, experience and do with this type of meditation that it really has no limits, this is just the tip of the iceberg so to speak. If you get to know, meet and befriend the various archetypes (usually represented by the 22 cards of the Major Arcana in the Tarot, also called the "22 Faces of God" and 22 paths of the Kabbalah etc) you will experience your outer world and your inner self changing and transforming greatly towards the better and deeper understandings of Existence and Creation and Life.
alright copy&paste mode off
Now This is probably either make it or break it here to attract you to this book and give it a chance.
"All projections provoke counter-projection when the object is unconscious of the quality projected upon it by the subject." Thus, what is unconscious in the recipient will be projected back onto the projector, precipitating a form of mutual acting out.~Jung
Now I had to think about this quote for about 5-10 min to actually get it and integrate it, I think an example is best in this situation
Projection refers to the idea that you see elements of yourself in others, usually elements of yourself you are not consciously aware of. The old "liars never trust anyone else" idea. Counter projection refers to the other person unknowingly encouraging you to project onto them (eg acting suspicious, without meaning to, when you are projecting your own untrustworthiness onto them.).
Alright now we know that everyone is in this play/stage weather it is projection/counter-projection or something else than that.Most of you here think the mind is "out there", so we are right now in a "play of gods", each one in your life is playing a part of the "Great Unknowable God" and that part is projected from you unto him.As it is said "As Above,So Below", will take for example here the problem of a crippled mouth-breather NEET who his family hate him.Now we can't say it is the NEET's fault that he is broken and crippled, but does that mean throw all hope?, it is a messed up thing here so I will put it in state of a point to know how all this happen
1)The Family produce the normal baby
2)The Father/Mother/Family project unconsciously the crippled no-good NEET archetype into the baby
3)The Baby turn into the Crippled NEET
4)The NEET is forced unconsciously to act as how he was projected and is talked about.
now we try to solve this problem
5)The NEET start inner work and converse with the sun archetype with the help of an inner guide(for protection and guidance) to heal him
6)The image of the NEET archetype is healed inside the NEET's body and he look "different" to everyone/his family.
7)Since his family cannot be removed from his innerscape(because they are hard-wired part of it) they change their attitude toward the NEET and the person is fixed.
Of course your problem might not be the "NEET" problem but you can get it now that all your problem have an "image" inside of you and when that image is fixed/healed the world take care of itself.I think this give a wonderful illustration for "As Within,So without", if you fix yourself from the inside the whole world will fix itself around you.
if you also like the weird stuff,Edwin also had a part where he instruct you into FUCKING THE ARCHETYPES
FUCK HER IN THE PUSSY
