Life is a Unified Field of ever changing appearance.
Once we have seen through the dreamlike illusion of an external separate world, we begin to realize the underlying truth of Life. We see that unquestioning belief in the rational mind’s labeling and classifying function is the true cause of suffering; that ‘inner’ and ‘outer’, ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, are part of its futile attempt to make sense of and control its environment. We innerstand that the rational mind is part of the environment and not separate from it at all.
Where do parasites fit into this new way of seeing?
The rational mind’s view of parasites is that they prey on their hosts, robbing them of energy. It is acknowledged by supporters of terrain theory that parasites are manifested by organisms (like human beings) which are compromised by lack of nutrition, toxicity or systemic blockages. Parasites take the role of garbage crew, cleaning up toxicity, but are also able to control their hosts to function in ways which suit them.
For humanity the truth is that parasites are more than just life’s clean up crew. They also serve as antagonists to awaken us to full conscious embodiment. Parasites are a natural part of Life, not an aberration. They are incredibly resilient and can adapt to any attempt to single them out and destroy them. It is true that the presence of parasites in the human body causes disruption and distress, but their lesson to us is to surrender to Life – to allow Life itself to heal us instead of trying to control the process.
The numerology of the word parasite is very interesting. The Heart’s Desire is 16/7, a powerful karmic number which is also the number of the Tower card in the Tarot Major Arcana. In numerology 7 is the number of wisdom. A 16 karmic debt indicates that wisdom is compromised and hard lessons are necessary to bring us back into real wisdom. By manifesting harmful parasites we are already behaving in parasitical ways. Our hearts are out of alignment with life and as we truly are Life, we manifest dissonance and suffering as the ‘alarm bell’ to bring us back to reality.
The Personality of parasite is another karmic number 19/1. 1 is the number of personal sovereignty, confidence, leadership and power. A 19 karmic debt compromises these qualities. We saw this clearly in the 20th century, 1900 – 1999 – which was called the Century of Self by film maker Adam Curtis. I also wrote about it in my post Jesus, Mary Magdalene, the Age of Pisces and the Tarot. A 19/1 Personality can be arrogant and entitled. It tries to control life rather than surrendering to natural wisdom.
Parasite’s Expression is 35/8. This is interesting because 35 is one number short of 36, the number of Man in numerology. 8 is the number of material satisfaction and the wise management of money and material resources. It is associated with Saturn, which rules the bones of the body. When we allow Saturn to become out of balance, we are enslaved by the bare bones of life – a material time bound existence. Saturn morphs into Satan or Sauron (from The Lord of the Rings).
The word parasite truly embodies the human qualities which are being presented and promoted by mainstream media, government and the unthinking consumers who either follow or try to resist their dictates. The lesson that parasite presents us is a hard one, but it is the bitch slap which is necessary to awaken us to our true conscious embodied sovereignty.
