Denial Often Means Less Spirituality
In my last communication, I wrote about “denial of the sexual energy” and this channeling continues on from my previous communication.
Once one starts the process of denial, whether it be food, sexual energy, alcohol, tobacco, drugs or other substances; if the Higher Self has not gained some control, then the Self will fight all it can to have what it desires. There will be a battle which very often the Higher Self will lose.
The Self is a part of the physical body, not the spiritual. It has learned over the Earth years how to survive. How to get what it needs. However, denial is one of the worst things one can do when one is on a spiritual path. There are those who would say, “but it is wonderful discipline” yes, this is, but very often, when one has gone through the denial, achieved one’s goal, whatever one has achieved, comes back, and returns. Because the Self is in control. This is why many lose weight and put it back on again, or give up tobacco or drugs and begin the habit again.
However, when the Higher Self is in control, this energy will get you to seek out WHY you need the substances. Why do you need that fix, specific food or foods, alcoholic drink, etc, or whatever it is you desire. I am not writing about a social drink now, but that NEED that many have to partake of their alcohol, food, drugs, tobacco or other substance. This process will not happen quickly, but can take many Earth years as one explores not only this life times problems, but also past life problems also.
Humanity has a process of making one feel guilty because one does not give up one’s desires or habits. However, one should praise those who even attempt to do this, who open the door to finding out why? No matter how long it takes, one should not feel guilty. There should be no self recrimination, for the Self is an energy on its own and it will do all it can to get what it needs.
As one begins the path to higher consciousness, more and more the Higher Self will come in, and eventually will come the realization one no longer needs what one has had for so long. There is also the realization of why one wanted it, and where it came from. Even then it will not be easy to relinquish the desire, for the body has been so used to it, and the body has to be weaned off the need for it. One cannot deny oneself anything. To do so makes one desire and want it all the more.
One needs to go higher in vibration. Bring in more of the Higher Self, and learn how to handle the Self, then and only then has one got any control over the desires.
