I was watching a video clip with my son. It's one of the activities my son has taught me to appreciate. It was thanks to him that I understood the power of music and how it could make me choose joy.
Back to the clip, which was all about my son’s heroes. A video montage of avengers joyfully playing it “born for this” from the score. His absolute favorite music of the moment, ... in the video I see a sequence of Captain America suffering martyrdom to become the strong, muscular man we know.
And then, bam: it jumps out at me.
Yes, because I've been going through the hypnosis cylinder, especially humanistic hypnosis. This “altered state of consciousness” where you find yourself in this gamma frequency, a state of hyperconsciousness. In this state, everything is about symbols. Everything is images and metaphors. In theta mode too, since symbols are the language of the subconscious mind or the great consciousness.
so I see this superhero. Super popular. In fact, my son has several figurines of him...captain america! Captain america goes through a machine which, as I see it, can be lethal.
The suffering he goes through is the gateway to that state of superhuman strength we see afterwards. These muscles are a symbol of strength. Herculean strength.
The fact remains that Hercules went through twelve labors before finding a certain serenity.
Hercules, another metaphor.
Suffering is the passage to this state of multiplied strength. Pain is the liquid of life in dune, the movie, where Paul altreides drinks to pass to a state of hyper-consciousness. Paul mouadib suddenly sees everything with extreme acuity. He sees the present, the future, the past. But even more importantly, he seems detached from any judgment linked to these scenarios. He seems serene and very calm.
For those who don't already know, diamonds are pure carbon. A carbon that has undergone extraordinary pressure. The human being is no different. I'm sure you'll agree with that. When we feel pressurised, we discover ourselves. We discover our temperament,
My grandfather took part in a war of liberation...but he wasn't at all predestined for it. He just wanted a job and a decent life. He had the ambition to have an easy comfortable living, not to be a hero. It was the pressure of emotions linked to injustice that catapulted him into this destiny. He played the game, and in the end, the rules didn't apply to him. That made him a little angry. Add another layer of pressure and you're touching on his dignity as a human being. Maybe the dignity of considering himself capable of being respectable and respected. That's a lot of layers of pressure. I'd say we've come pretty close to pure Crystal. What do you think?
He felt a lot of pain. It pushed him to take up arms...
There's another one who did the same and who's a super-famous super-hero: Nelson Mandela.
After a good deal of pressure, he ended up receiving continuous radiation pain for 27 years. Typical of a block of carbon that gets stuck between several rocks and receives an unheard-of sentence of suffering: you've lost your freedom. You'll be breaking rocks for the rest of your life. I don't even know how he managed to survive: how do you resist to “hello, your son's dead”
So after all these experiences of pain and grief. Either you dissociate yourself from your emotions. Or you become Captain America. That’s my theory.
I find this Captain America interesting because he doesn't have any extraordinary powers. He's certainly super fit. He seems to use his body in the most aerodynamic way possible. He's intelligent, obviously. I did notice that he was thinking outside the box. At a military training, it took him just a few moments to come up with a creative solution, debunking the pillar and retrieving the flag. It had been years, the sergeant major proudly said, since anyone had managed to do it.
So, he's fit, intelligent and the icing on the cake: he's full of nobility.
He seems generous, attentive, compassionate. And seems to embody his values. He does what he believes is right.
A true hero.
Yes, but this hero, to get to this point. He has gone through the mill! To say the very least.
What am I getting at?
The transformation of our body, which is another barely concealed symbol of our subconscious. This transformation cannot take place without modifying the body's structure.
It didn't change his values to become Captain America. It was his values, his beliefs, that led him to be selected by this scientist who was looking for an ideal candidate to support his experiment.
What changed, and I observe: thanks to this, He was "admitted" to military service. It was his dearest wish.
He succeeded in making his dream a reality.
I conclude that other people's perceptions changed. He didn't look like he used to. He changed his reflection. He changed himself, so others perceived him differently. Maybe he's simply changed the way he perceives himself, so others see him differently.
This obviously gave him an extraordinary boost of self-confidence. He already had faith in his convictions. He was determined to join the army. To go and fight an injustice. Something touched him in his gut. He wanted to go and fight with his people. To have an impact on a deleterious global situation. He wanted to help. He was convinced of it.
He believed he could.
As well as transforming his body. And add to that his conviction. He became unstoppable.
Well, I'm also observing He has something else more than the others: a shield!
Ahaaa. Very interesting. Super protection. A super-efficient metal barrier to protect him from the fast, stealthy attacks that can penetrate his body.
This protection, or anchoring, I understand, is necessary for a normal human. That's the point. Captain America is a normal human.
It's just that he's taken some nasty radiation pressure and suffering. It's made him stronger. His heart remains noble and open. Hence the protection.
You can't be super-strong and have an open heart if you can't protect your mind. Without this protection, you need to dissociate yourself from your emotions, to stop feeling the pain of the heart. Because it can kill you.
Go ask Elvis! He knows a thing or two about heartbreak. It finished him off.
Captain America could be anyone. There must be plenty of them in every country.
I've met a few here in Saudi Arabia. A Saudi captain lady to be precise! Captain nouf! I'll tell you about her in another episode.
I don't know about you. But when I feel these irradiations of pain and suffering, as if I were going to be made into a breaded crepe: it gives me strength to think that Captain America has probably overcome more than this.
I need this hope. It boosts me. It inspires me. It's like I'm becoming the captain of my own ship. And master of my destiny.
This captain metaphor is full of unexplored resources.
What do you say my captain?
So, to sum up the story. We've got a normal human, who's been through a lot. He took a lot. Well, he had a clear vision. He knew what he wanted to do. As a result, he transformed his body, modified his subconscious and the belief he had in himself.
BiM badaboum! Captain America begins!
Add to this the fact that a normal human being needs to protect himself. To protect himself from the energies around him. Otherwise, even with your great strength, you can't survive.
This element of protection fascinates me. Especially since I arrived in Saudi Arabia. It seems to me to be a very important key to understanding the question of who I am. Understanding my identity' couldn't be done without including this leverage of protection.
Captain America is a warrior. He doesn't use his shield with his friends, but with his enemies. Understanding who your enemy is tells you a lot more about yourself than being with your friends.
One sentence stood out in matrix 2. When Neo goes to see the oracle, he is forced to fight one of the oracle's protectors, who tells him after the fight that he was sorry, but that he could only ascertain Neo's identity by fighting him.
I've noticed that you discover people's values in times of crisis. In times of stress, you'll see whether the person uses nobility, transparency or misery. In times of stress, we're in automatic mode. There's no way to hide our subconscious programming. The one that will reveal the beliefs we've ingrained in ourselves.
Our values and beliefs form our identity. This identity gives us the impetus to reach our true mission in life. Our life purpose. Something that transcends us, that joins our material identity. A goal so lofty that it makes us sprout wings, or gives us the courage to push through every possible layer of pressure to find that diamond-like state of purity. The diamond of our heart.
Captain America followed his heart, which led him to become a warrior. As a result, he came to terms with his identity. The belief he had in himself. He had the courage to change that belief about himself. No, he's Captain America, not some frail, almost too sickly New York boy. He changed that program in his head. The pain passed, he knew what was on the other side of the shore.
Captain America always felt the gem inside of him.
Do you know what your inner gem is?
Can you sense it?
