Like I said in this post, Twin Flame love is not about privilege.
Twin Flame love is for everyone. Even the ones marginalized and scapegoated by privileged society.
It's one of the reasons why this is a renegade path. Twin Flame Union threatens power structures. It always, always threatens established so-called truth and established power, which is why Twin Flame Union is so rare and takes so much inner work to maintain.
Twin Flames are not loyal to any privilege they were born into, even if that privilege is central to some form of group identity. They are only loyal to Love. This is why Twin Flames often seem like traitors to their karmic friends, colleagues and family, when they choose Love over everything they had in their former life.
One of the deepest and most unconscious ancestral karmas that I am struggling to break is caste karma. I come from a so-called "upper caste" Indian family and while nobody ever talked about it directly, there is massive unconscious privilege going back generations, and it has occult implications that are difficult to talk about.
I sense a French Revolution coming to India, and I support it. My family is deeply interconnected with a web of other privileged families, an aristocratic web that goes back generations, and I don't care if all of those families are dragged to the guillotine by a mob shouting, "Off with their heads!"
I am loyal to Love, not to caste privilege.
My Twin also has this exact same caste karma, although he struggles to accept his privilege. And we are dealing with caste privilege in this lifetime even though we don't live in India. Even though we have past life memories of being low caste peasants and suffering horribly.
Ancestral karmas are worked through in layers. And it can manifest wherever you live, even if the country of your birth doesn't have the same history as the country your ancestors lived in. Here in the United States, for example, I'm extremely mindful that the slave-owning cotton plantations are energetically the same as the zamindar estate in India that helped my ancestors grow wealthy. And if I help the land heal here, I'm energetically doing the same for the low caste serfs who were worked brutally on my ancestors' land.
It's one of the reasons why my earliest spirit guide is Karna of the Mahabharata. Later Ekalavya, another spirit from the Mahabharata, joined him and expressed interest in working with me. They have both been wonderful protectors and guides.
I remember, years ago, when Karna asked me to watch the Daughters of Destiny docu-series as an offering to him. I formally invoked him and we watched the docu-series together. He grieved next to me. He was angry. He was grateful that low-caste children were getting the kind of education that I was lucky enough to get.
That experience opened my heart deeply and I wept so much that day, noticing all I had taken for granted even when I thought I was a nice person with not a shred of class or caste bias inside me.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the Mahabharata, it's an epic of ancient India and it has deeply influenced Indian spirituality. In the Mahabharata, Karna and Ekalavya are two low caste men who are immensely talented warriors. They get thoroughly fucked over by caste prejudice, and religious justification is used each time. It's sickening to read.
Hindu society has found a thousand ways to justify what Karna and Ekalavya endured even today. The victim-blaming and cognitive dissonance that comes up, every time someone tries to defend their fake evil elitist religion and scapegoat Karna and Ekalavya, honestly astounds me.
Unconscious bias is real. Unconscious privilege is real. And as long as you are relying on corrupted power structures to get through life, you're never going to actually learn what the vibration of real Love feels like. Some people may need to be forced to their knees by a French Revolution before they finally let their hearts crack open to real Love.
Like I said in this post, sometimes when Love breaks through the shackles of fear, it looks like escaping persecution. It looks like revolution.
Although I don't really want to quote the sage Abhinavagupta, because his path diverts from mine in important ways, he also gets a lot right. And he has a list of 8 "possessors", or types of spirit possession that are false, constructed inner self-images that I completely agree with. One of them is the possession of caste.
Check out my earlier, and very painful post, about possession here. It turns out that what I described in that post is very similar to what Abhinavagupta teaches about the 8 types of possession.
All the 8 types of possession that Abhinavagupta talks about can literally be described as 8 types of privilege.
Christopher Wallis labels Abhinavagupta's 8 types of possession as:
2. Your caste/your family's social standing
3. Your spiritual/occult lineage
4. Your socially approved conduct
5. Your body/appearance
6. Your nationality
7. Your virtue/appearance as a "good person"
8. Your wealth
These are truly REAL possessions, not just psychological masks that normal therapeutic tools can address. They are deep in the blood and bone. Last year when I read The Self Possessed by Fredrick M. Smith, I was stunned at how this book's description of the nature of personhood, or your sense of selfhood, closely matched some of my experiences. At the time I was too embarrassed to tell anyone that I felt heard and seen by this book.
I'm not embarrassed anymore because I'm speaking the fucking truth.
This is the way very deep attachments are experienced before they are released. It only looks supernatural in my case because I'm actively engaging with these deep attachments. People walk around with this fake shit inside them EVERY DAY and have no idea that they are not at all who they think they are. That they are literally possessed by false identities buried so deep, bolstered by so much social privilege and mass denial, that they'll never be seen.
And these false identities quite literally create a false reality. A completely false universe that you think is real, but is actually an illusion.
This is difficult to talk about because everything I've said can be used to victim-blame people. People can be scapegoated with accounts of past lives that they didn't have and accused of unconscious bias that they don't have. Many of these spiritual narratives are used to re-traumatize already vulnerable people and groom them to accept abuse.
Use your own discernment and don't ever be tricked into taking responsibility for other people's mistakes. This is something I still have to be vigilant about. I've been deeply programmed to be a sin-eater, so now it takes time to discern whether I have unconscious privilege or if I'm just being psychically gaslit. Sometimes it's a bit of both, which is unsettling.
I have no idea how this ego death will unfold, but Karna has encouraged me keep releasing the shame...so that's what I'm going to do next. One step at a time. I don't know what step to take next after releasing shame, but Karna will be there to tell me.
I just want people to know that breaking these patterns of privilege and false allegiances always takes you outside the bounds of polite society.
Twin Flames are here to actively participate in the world without participating in these "possessions", which is why it's so unbelievably hard to stay in Union. Twin Flame Union is an engine built for a different kind of fuel. We're here to break free from vampiric financial systems and reveal lies.
We're not here to be popular. We're here to speak and live uncomfortable truths. And this rebel path, this Left Hand Path, is the true road to the Harmonious Twin Flame Union.
Twin Flames fight for this broken world the way we fight for each other. Love is not dissociated "peace". Love can also be wrathful compassion. And Evil should tremble to know that Twin Flames love this world as much as we love each other.
