Every wonder how a human can at times display incredible brilliance, and then most of the time show nothing but robotic, zombie-like patterns?

The answer to this is what Carlos Castaneda referred to as the Topic of Topic in his final book "Active side of Infinity"; was part of the Gnostic traditions called the Archons or in Egypt the teaching of the Apop. It became a demon in early religious tradition, and if you look closely, the knowledge was placed somehow in all of human history. The understanding of the topic of topics is to know about the Parasite.

In a nutshell, you have two minds, not just one like you think. You are "supposed" to have only one- true or original mind (Called nous by the Gnostics and Hermeticists). Thousands of years ago a second mind appeared- a foreign invader. This mind came from a non-human alien source, using humans as a food source by overtaking true mind and disguising itself as the correct one- usually finished by the age of 7or 8. that is when our original mind has "given in" to the parasite, which is constantly being conditioned by all adults around- who long gave up their true minds to the parasite. We have become like everyone else- and now can become a semi-zombie used for food. Think matrix movies here for a parallel.

The true mind is your friend. It is the place of genius- and even though mostly squashed, still sometimes can bubble up an appearance when truly needed, or providing insight during our dreams. You will find that it only "takes over" again when confronted with physical death- why when death is close by- one becomes so clear of thinking. That is how it is always supposed to be. Sadly this only comes once in a while. An entire system (government, education, medicine, commerce, law ect) has been set up that serves only one thing- the parasite- and makes it very hard for anyone to dump it, for to do so means you also have to dump standard society that is not natural or human in any way.

This explains many of the mistakes of those teaching spiritual traditions, especially those who say you must stop thinking or get rid of your mind. They have read ancient texts without really understanding them- mostly of course because the parasite won't let them read it correctly. You need your true mind and you need its thinking. Anyone who tells you they are in a place of constant no thought is lying to you. without thoughts, you would be dead. What is not needed is the thoughts and energy stealing ways of the parasite. It is this mind that you stop thinking and get rid of, not the one you want. The trick becomes how to tell them apart.

The parasite is the ego. Thus when someone says their ego left or died, they still have a mind (nous) but what happened, whether they understand it or not- is that their parasite left them. Hence the oriental expression "I cast off the I, yet the I remains. You don't stop thinking or go to some no mind zombie (that is a very trick of the parasite itself) what you do is begin to examine that you in fact do have two minds- one human, and one alien. To even bring this idea up to most will make you the seat of ridicule, or else people will just turn in a huff and leave. Each is a coping mechanism, because deep inside they know something is wrong, but the parasite won't let you examine it without a strong will. It is one of its big tricks, come up with an idea, then agree with itself about that idea, hence is remains in control.

The parasite's main weapon of control is fear, and through fear it keeps the human locked in specific habits and patterns that in fact service only the energy using mode of the parasite itself. Look closely at any human and you will just see a repetitious mode. They do the same thing at the same time in the same way every day. I mean, you probably brush your teeth exactly the same way every day. How much more zombie-like can you be?

In my opinion, so take it for what it is worth, the greatest flaw in all spiritual traditions and religion to day, is the lack of understanding of the parasite. Of course all modern religions, and even most of the highest regarded spiritual teachers- are plants of the parasite itself- thus are masters of disinformation. They are not going to mention it, because they themselves are serving it. Even the few who mention a parasite- look no further than to mention it and give a few exercises. They tell nothing of where it came from, what it is doing, how all pervasive it is here.

Certain spiritual practices are designed to take you beyond the bubble of the dream and catch a glimpse of absolute reality. Some are designed to attack and rid yourself of the parasite. There are no other spiritual practices. One or the other. Thus most are doing a practice, with no idea what it is actually for, thus not surprisingly- walking in circles getting nowhere.

Yes from the standpoint of ultimate reality, there is no world and no you and thus no parasite. But while in the bubble and having a life, you must acknowledge what has had you under its control all this time. If not you will continue to act like a zombie, or simply rush towards solutions to your problems from people promising the world- who are in fact nothing but parasite plants themselves. I know so many rushing to spiritual teacher and teachings, who are doing nothing but draining them of the very energy they need to break free.

Thus step 1 is to look hard. Do you have a parasite? How would you find out? What can be checked about it?

Step 2 comes if in step 1 you verify its existence, then comes question of how do I rid myself of it? What is true mind and how to contact it?

More articles will follow on the parasite and the topic of topics.
