Ordeals
Each stage of ANTOS initiation liberates potent energy and creativity, mandating a letting go of the relevant aspect past conditioning. The first ordeal is permitting the unconscious mind to let go of a life of conflict between seeming opposites, the habit of believing that only one side of an argument is right. This is a life-changing step enables many deep healings to occur. If everybody on Earth simply achieved this, there would be nothing to war about.

Nations transcending the habit of asserting rightness wouldn't feel need to fight another group. This would expand their creative boundaries, enabling other evolution to follow on quite naturally.

Some prefer to experience past emotional pains and family karma belief systems, inspect them carefully and slowly, making really sure each fragment of a mechanical life is really useless. Then they will suddenly decide they have had enough!

Any skilled therapist will already know that unwanted conditions people are holding onto is a game being played for some secondary gain. Unfortunately, most of us were actually brought up in a society in which they didn't teach you in Primary School that human negative emotional expressions are set up to manipulate others and have no other function.

Someone crying, "You never listen to me." is trying to make sure the person is ready to obey what they are about to ask. When a negative emotion doesn't achieve its manipula­tive intent, and the person doesn't let go of the energy, they leave a shadow of the emotion blocking the energy field of the body, and that causes illness. Thousands of these patterns are ordinarily weighing heavily on the body.
