Propelled by the feeling of Deficiency
Denial
a defense against
-
Denial allows us to play a part in deciding when and where to be overcome by invalidating emotions thus creating space for less intense moods to make their presence felt.
Denial serves as an active barrier between the self and any uncertain feeling. (One can deny one’s Suspicious feelings in order to access the Trust needed to dance the Salsa with a stranger) However using Denial between everyday Moods that are meant to converse with one another will usually spell trouble (“Why didn’t I listen to my Suspicions from the beginning before getting into this mess?”)
So I become safe in a consistent world by choosing the lies I won’t feel
As adults we employ Denial as a means to experience ourselves as Generous
-
There is a consensus reality - where we perceive that which is agreed upon as reliable. In this shared reality, Denial combines with four co-conspirators that help to shape one’s identity and life experience. Developed in early childhood, they continue to operate as a basic temperamental style throughout adulthood.
Here we see Denial as it combines with its four common partners: project, retreat, recoil, and discharge.

Defense Structures dissolve over time, allowing attention to turn to the Dark Waves ripples that have been occurring in their wake. Dark wave energies are experienced outside the accepted norms of reality; sometimes making their presence known in our sexual disinhibitions, more often in the acts of people we only know as Doppelgangers - the deplorable “Others” we struggle to keep at the periphery of our lives.
As we gain a more personal relationship to the entities which enliven Dark Wave energies, we place ourselves at the Gates of Dawn.

Focus on the call of these Pipers in you.
They point you toward non-dominant aspects of your True Self.
What would you be willing to learn and actualize from your sense of sense of Temperance and Poise?
To call upon Temperance and Poise to meet
Mara and Yaldabaoth energies.
First, set aside the impulse to deny your feelings of Indifference and/or Inferiority.
In the pause of that quiet moment, turn there to the presence of these two Pipers at the Gates of Dawn.
They counteract the wailing self-deceptions of the Alter (Mara) and the false reality propagated by the Sham Messiah (Yaldabaoth) by providing an undeniable, secure foundation of reality.
