You’re a predator

Surrendering to the primal self

If you want to access your full creative power, you have to surrender to a little bit of madness. You have to surrender to a little bit of badness. You have to connect with your inner predator. Because that part of you is the doorway to your primal self—the animal that presides over life and death.

As creatives, most of us tend to be more preoccupied with the aethereal realms—the domain of Spirit where all of our most lofty interdimensional ideas come from. We think all we have to do is keep lighting ourselves up like a radio tower until the next great vision hits. But if you don’t know how to work the equipment, nothing you channel will have any value here in the 3D.

You are an animal body transmitting divine frequency.

You are a physical being made of dirt and stardust.

Your creative channel is not just an energetic body, it is part of your physical anatomy.

And if there’s one thing your animal body and higher consciousness have in common, it’s that they don’t see the world through schisms of good and bad or right and wrong. Your anger is just a boundary alarm. Your destructive urges are creative urges. Your inner “villain” is just an apex predator, consuming what it needs to survive. The things you do that you think make you an unworthy, undeveloped person are actually just sometimes-misguided expressions of your nature.

But before we get too deep into theory here, let’s check our praxis. Because we don’t want to walk around murdering and stealing from people. We don’t want to allow our destructive capacity to run away with us. We can all be forgiven for acting out our unconscious urges every now and then, but we should, at the very least, effort not to as much as possible.

I may be a representative of occasional evil but only the fun kind.

Still, the fact remains that most of us law-abiding citizens of spiritualism spend the bulk of our energy concerning ourselves with how to be good and nice and “high vibe” and not enough thinking about the potential utility of our darker impulses.
