- Life is a school and battlefield and we are in a time of war
- The trap of trying to escape the world and “reality”
- People can waste years and decades of “Self-work” and “shadow work” if it’s not applied correctly and sincerely while lying to themselves that they are more “advanced”
- The challenge of withdrawing projections and “living in the house of the gathering” (Carl Jung)
- People justify their triggers [blame/vicitm] instead of using them as an entry point for self-inquiry
- The alchemical inner fusion and crystallization of the soul, keeping the fire alive within
- Humility is a key ingredient on the spiritual path and applying “Beginner’s Mind”
- The trap of creating a spiritual identity [lightworker, star seed, reborn Christian, etc.) as an unconscious trauma response, spiritual bypassing, and the ego hijacking it
- The trap of wanting to be “special”
- The trap of joining groups, movements, and communities as an “identity” and skipping the individuation process
- Pluto in Aquarius and the Individuation process
- Crossing the threshold and the point of no return
- Passivity on the spiritual path and the necessity to engage the will
