TRAINING FOR THE OSC (Ordinary State of Consciousness)


The moon has just passed first quarter.  Having to wait three days for the Crescent, in order to perform my ceremonies, makes the waxing moon an abbreviated phase.  Diana rules the waxing moon.  I am only just now learning to discern her vibes.  Hecate has been so powerful with me over the years –she is the only one to have had sex with me, for instance.  And she always helps me clean house.

It took me a few days to regain my energies after the Kooti Despacho, but today I’m feeling much more energy.  Jesus entered my RDSE sequence this morning, exclaiming in the rush of energies, “I DIE!”.  I’m not happy to have him back with me, but maybe there’s something I can learn from this phase of the experience.  New Moon is several weeks away, and I won’t be able to execute another Kooti Despacho until then.  I did make a start on a Mojo Box to hold his spirit, just this afternoon.

With Diana, I’m energized to make some gains in the outer world.  My experiences are so far out of line with anyone else’s, it’s hard to find a way to present them.  As the energies move and change, I seem to have discovered a point of entry, and a way to organize my material, so that I can “turn the heads” of my audience.  I really don’t present what they’re looking for.  The glut of Shamanic Practitioners and other new age healing modalities has warped the noosphere.  It should be interesting to observe the fallout from this twist.  New things are always bred from bad beginnings.

I inadvertently referred to Michael Harner’s phrase, the OSC, or Ordinary State of Consciousness, in another article.  It seems to me that this phrase is sufficiently ‘psyche-neutral’ to slip past the spell-check on the Ordinary State of Consciousness which holds my readers.

The Shamanic State of Consciousness (SSC) is so much vaster, and so much more in touch with Reality, and has so many ‘risky’ doorways, that it’s no wonder so few really venture into it.

The ‘paranormal’ craze has many people trapped in a sort of pseudo-Shamanic state –a state paralyzed by birth defects of the psyche.  Any time you see the words paranormal, or occult, run like crazy!  These are dead-ends of the psyche.

Harner hit on such a beautiful entryway into the SSC, with the simple drum-induced state of the Shamanic Journey!  I’ve always regretted that I was taken away from this mode, but the experience of psychic union with the Gods has been stupendous.  No one really wants to go through what I’ve had to go through, to get there, though!

It always amuses me that people with spend thousands of dollars to travel thousands of miles in a cramped airplane, being groped by TSA agents, to a jungle hut, a Shaman they don’t know, and twenty other strangers all puking and shitting in the jungle to get high on ayahuasca, when all they have to do is get a pendulum, a pair of divining rods, and do several years of work with crystals and vortexes, and they can take their own OSC into the realm of the Gods.  Where’s the glamour in that?

And they end up trapped in the awareness of the ayahuasca or peyote deva, instead of flying on the wings of their own consciousness, --their own Medicine Energies.

Just what is the OSC?  The Ordinary State of Consciousness; you could call it the Ego, but that would be misleading.  We are so far wrong in our bad attitude toward the ego!  More on that later….

The OSC is the monster-child of the Second Natural Enemy of the Spiritual Warrior –Sociology.  The OSC is a paraplegic amputee.  It can’t see upward, it can’t see downward, to the right or the left, and it’s nearsighted.  With such a limited focus, it’s a miracle we’ve achieved anything at all!  But very predictable that what we have achieved is on the verge of destroying our wonderful planet.

The OSC is the step-child of the Christian paradigm divorced from the pagan/indigenous universe and remarried to the Industrial Revolution.  The OSC is a prisoner locked in the skull.

The beauty of yoga is that it provides a way to form an energetic bridge between the mind-trapped-in-the-skull, and the energetic aspects of the physical human body.

The beauty of Shamanic Practice is that it provides a way to form an energetic bridge between the mind-trapped-in-the-body and the mindspace intelligence of the physical universe.

The beauty of observing the phases of the moon is that they form a bridge from “being (trapped) in the moment”, to an extension of visceral time as the energetic psyche transports itself through time and space in the physical/psychic body.  Linked with the phases of the moon through the time-space-psyche of the human body, the human awareness (OSC) becomes a multidimensional extension into the infinite doorways of infinity.
