Propelled by the feeling of Neglect, Deficiency

Denial allows us to play a part in deciding when and where to be overcome by difficult emotions thus creating space for less intense moods to make their presence felt.

"I am safe and the world is consistent, because I choose what I won’t feel". This is the pre-verbal foundation by which so many other defense mechanisms operate. Denial serves as an active barrier between the self and any unwanted 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?”)

 

Obedient, Generous

As adults we employ Denial as a means to experience ourselves as Obedient, Generous

  • There is a consensus reality - where we perceive that which is agreed upon as reliable. In this shared reality, we generally see four “acceptable” combinations of defense mechanisms operating. 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.

    When Denial is combined with Projecting =

    I behave as a Neurotic - denying my feelings while seeking to be Nurturing

    When Denial is combined with Withdrawing =

    I behave as a Vagabond - denying my feelings while seeking to be Profound

    When Denial is combined with Recoiling =

    I behave as a Prey - denying my feelings while seeking to be Comforting

    When Denial is combined with Discharging =

    I behave as an Imposter - denying my feelings while seeking to be Visionary

Nurturing Neurotic

Active in the everyday Persona of the Rescuer

Profound Vagabond

Active in the everyday Personas of the Free Spirit and the Adept

Comforting Prey

Active in the everyday Personas of the Philanthropist, and the Ringmaster

Visionary Imposter

Active in the everyday Persona of the Fool .

  • Dark wave energies are experienced outside the accepted norms of reality, usually occurring in the form of a persistent Doppelganger, a nemesis to our accepted sense of selfhood.

    As our attachment to the rotating Defense Structures within us dissolves, attention turns to disembodied dark waves that we find alive in our environment. There are 18 available to the witnessing eye. As we gain a more direct relationship to these Dark Wave entities, we place ourselves at the Gates of Dawn.

 

Meet the Alter within

Do you find yourself disturbed by the appearance of those expressing DID in your world? Might you recognize in their appearance, a doppelgänger to your own unresolved actualization of Temperance?

A state of denial to one’s own Indifference can block reality and summon the Dark Wave entity witnessed in

Mara

(the Buddhist demon of illusion).

Open to the sensations of this disembodied part of you hidden safe in fragmentation and delusion.

This state of reality-blockade can best be soothed by giving attention to Temperance in your life.

 

Meet the Sham Messiah within.

Do you find yourself disturbed by the appearance of Grandiose Delusions in your world? Might you recognize in their appearance, a doppelgänger to your own unresolved actualization of Poise?

A state of denial to one’s own Inferiority can block reality and summon the Dark Wave entity witnessed in

Yaldabaoth

(the Demiurge from Nag Hammadi texts entrapping human souls)

Open to the sensations of this entrapment in arrogance, struggling to perceive your true source.

This state of reality-blockade can best be soothed by giving attention to Poise in your life.

 

Both the Alter and Sham Messiah suffer the unmet aspiration for

Attuned Security

  • Actualizing the Great Bear qualities of Poise

    and the Great Elephant qualities of Temperance

    offers Attuned Security

    to the dark wave energies of the Mara and the Yaldabaoth.

    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 own Temperance and Poise?

I call upon Temperance and Poise to meet

Mara and Yaldabaoth energies

within myself and between myself and others as one Being.

First and foremost, set aside the impulse to deny your feelings of Inferiority and Indifference.

In the pause of that quiet moment, turn there to the presence of these two Pipers at the Gates of Dawn.

To learn Temperance:

Give attention to the teachings of Universal Reasoning in the Philosophy of Stoicism

To learn Poise:

Give attention to the teachings of the Bodhisattva in Buddhism

Designed by True Self to meet the unmet needs of Dark Wave entities

and calling forth the Great Beaver of Divine Sobriety.
