Sometimes I receive an email from people who say that the SSoA-paradigm is rather fear-based. And, indeed I can understand why people may think that. Within the paradigm there are many forces that are trying to prevent your ascension in all kinds of creative ways. There would be a history of manipulation and falls of consciousnesses. On top of all that there would be beings from other worlds that would have dissonant DNA implanted in our genetic pools. These genetics would need to be removed from the genepools: who has the dissonant DNA and who hasn't? Then there is this concept of a Tao who is learning, whereas the concept of a all-knowing God would suit a lot of people better.
As if all this isn't enough, there would be a load of unconscious manipulation, chi-stealing and karma dumping going on between people. Even if I did not mention the concept of the 'Great Cleansing' all this could create an atmosphere of paranoia and fear if you are inclined to these vibrations. I prefer to approach it from another perspective. For me the ascension process implies the gradual increase of my own vibratory band by cleaning out my house and that of my ancestors. I accept that we have fallen very low in understanding and that it takes quite a lot of investment to patch up these fragmented parts that have remained after these falls in awarenss during the ages.
Fortunately the SSOA provides numerous articles with descriptions of the things that could occur and how I can use the power of my intentions to do away with most of the manipulations. Much of the work consists of gathering, removing and sorting out all kinds of information, thought forms, soul fragments and entities.
This page focuses on the unconscious harm perpetrated by people around you that can affect your system and the dynamics that come along with it.
Let's start off by stressing that unconscious harm is unconscious. So, whenever you come across any harmful act by others you cannot really blame the person who has done it. They are completely unaware of anything they are doing in their unconscious field. The same goes for any ascending person: there are many things going on in the unconscious that are completely missed by the waking consciousness. So, the purpose of protecting yourself against unconscious harm is not to go to the other and get angry with that person. It is rather useless: even if they are willing to listen and are willing to grasp what you are saying, they cannot do much about it most of the time.
I would make an exception for fellow ascending people. It could be of interest for them: they could learn something from what and how certain harm was acted out. They could create new intentions to stop this from occurring and sometimes they would be able to rectify it themselves. Another advantage of sharing harmful traffic is that perhaps you have been wrong and you are confronted with harm that you yourself have unconsciously caused in others.
The most powerful tool I have come with so far to protect myself from unconscious harm (and conscious harm for that matter) is what I have called the 'pushing-away-gesture'. Whenever you feel that someone has attacked your system you put your hands next to each other with the palms directed towards the one who has caused the harm and then you push your hands forward until they are stretched completely. While you do this you intend and visualise the return of any harm that affected your system. I think that most of the time there are no agreements to tear up your system. If it happens that some interactions are karmic you will probably not be able to return it. If that is the case you could check out whether the interaction was karmic and you can intend to release and understand the karma. In my experience this karma clearing is mostly done by your light body. Perhaps read some other turtles that have to do with this karma clearing: Continuing the Karma Quest: Changes in Perspective (12) and Too Much Unconsciousness (9).
Another very powerful tool is our friend the Pendulum (some people give their pendulum names like Fred). If you are able to pendulum I would advice you to use the charts that are given by Ivan Manning from the SSoA. I am very satisfied with the chart 'Problem Involves' from that page as with the 'Karmic Record' chart.
Not too long ago I started to delve into my manifestation planes to see if there were perhaps dreams from others manifesting in my system. And indeed it turned out that eight dreams from others were working their way through my manifestation planes. Some of them did even reach the seventh plane. In other words, these dreams were on the verge of being expressed in the physical. Together with Fred I was able to determine whose dreams I was manifesting and they were all connected to karma from others. So, here you have karma from others that was dumped in my system in order to prevent the karma from being expressed in their own lives.
Well, since you cannot clear the karma that is not from your ancestry there is no use in living it out, so I returned all the dreams back to their respective owners. Not only did the people dump karma in my system (unconsciously of course, there were very friendly people among them) most of them also took away a few of my dreams that had to do with self expression and some 'holographic information'. I intended the return of those dreams. In the end all my dreams were back in my place and all the dreams of others were returned to the original owners.
Other means of unconscious harm can be caused by hexes, curses and spells. If you check that once in a while you might remove them from your system. I have grown to be very careful in my email contacts as well. Whenever I notice a recurrent 'bad feeling' when reading someone's emails, I prefer to end the contact or let it rest for a while. Perhaps there is a karmic encounter going on and perhaps there is something that I need to learn from such a contact and I want to take my time for that. It could also be that that other person is causing useless and unwanted unconscious harm and I see no reason to continue when you are unconsciously attacked by that person.
Like I said in the beginning: this is not a very nice and polite way of communicating with people. Especially when they are very friendly in the conscious realms. At this stage in my own process I do believe however that is wise not to invest too much energy in contacts that don't resonate or that drain energy from your system.
Well, so much for now.
Update October 2005: Check Turtle 23 and Turtle 32 to read about nice examples of possible unconscious manipulations.
Update April 2006: Ivan Manning was given the ascending boot in 2005. It is common practice in the SSOA to also remove all articles by a former initiate from the site. That's why the original link doesn't work any longer. However, the pendulum charts from Ivan were also published in the summer 2005 Quarterly Journal, which is a pdf-file. On pages 35-42 you can still read the original article. You can reach the Quarterly Journals from the SSOA when you click HERE.
January 2007 Another example of subtle body manipulations is described in the 39th Turtle, Detecting Subtle Harm.
