bornawakes® and addiction
hi #bornawakes® !
today we’re diving into a really common issue for #bornawakes®, and that is addiction. i go into the topic a bit in this IG video but i wanted to do a post that really breaks down *why* so many #bornawakes® deal with addiction. then we’ll go into some of the attachments/dynamics you can look to complete in the portal, in order to move beyond this experience.
i do want to say: in my opinion, any and all recreational drug use is a crutch. either a crutch that allows you to deal with 3d life when you otherwise couldn’t, or in the case of beings who enjoy taking hallucinogens for the spiritual experience of it - a crutch because you don’t believe you could access those levels of consciousness/awareness without the drug. this doesn’t make it bad. with anything, it is totally different to do it consciously. so if you are in a place where drugs feel supportive, or even necessary - that’s OK. just be aware that you’re choosing to give some of your power to these things.
when it comes to alcohol - pretty much all alcohol with the exception of organic biodynamic wine, is literally poison. it is straight-up toxic chemicals that the body cannot utilize (or efficiently dispose of) and it increases the already excessive toxic load of living in modern society. the industry is very poorly regulated and even expensive, ‘healthy’ wines often utilize chemicals like ammonia to clean the grapes. again - doesn’t necessarily mean avoid all alcohol! we are all choosing the experience we desire to have. just be informed.
addiction also includes things like eating disorders, over-spending, compulsive shopping, gambling, and I even believe it’s very possible to get addicted to violence (hurting others). broadly let’s think of it as, 3d actions we take to further disconnect from 3d life and our experience of being a human. anything we do that separates us further from who we truly are but allows us a respite from the confusion of 3d life - until of course, it stops working.
ANYWAYS! now that we got that out of the way. what are the main reasons so many #bornawakes® deal with addiction issues?
childhood trauma
as spiritual masters here with the primary goal of completing as many open attachments/unresolved karma as possible for themselves and the collective, many #bornawakes® choose childhood experiences full of trauma, discord and pain. the energetic intention behind this is to get as much of the ‘heavy lifting’ energetically out of the way as early in life as possible, so that they can dedicate the majority of their time here to anchoring their true frequency in 3d. however, this doesn’t mean #bornawakes™ get a free pass on addressing the impact of trauma on the nervous system, neural pathways and other 3d aspects of human life.
when #bornawakes™ lack the tools or support to deal with these things it becomes even easier to fall back on their top-down energy system and simply check out, dissociate, remind themselves that none of this is real. of course since for #bornawakes® the true intention/desire is to be FULLY PRESENT AND EMBODIED here in 3d, checking out and using addictions to help us disconnect ultimately leaves us feeling more bored, empty and disconnected than when we started. breaking this cycle is about learning to take responsibility for our child-selves and our human operating system, and finding the support and resources we need to apply our spiritual awareness to our healing process.
this brand is not designed to facilitate #bornawakes® in undergoing the deep and necessary work of trauma recovery, but feel free to email us to hear some of our suggested resources. the portal is great for making sense out of what you’ve been through and coming to understand the energetic dynamics at play BEHIND your experiences - ie, understanding why your absolute self would choose this experience. however this understanding cannot be fully integrated, until it can coexist with the reality that your small, little human-child-self did NOT desire, choose or deserve what was experienced. the both-and-more-ness is where trauma recovery comes in.
lack of support or guidance for top-down energy system
this one is SO COMMON for #bornawakes®, especially those who sink into loops of drug use, over-exercising, restrictive eating etc to try and ‘access higher consciousness.’ because #bornawakes® have an energy system that moves top-down, from spiritual awareness INTO practical applied reality, we do not need support to access higher consciousness. we need support in integrating that consciousness into our 3d life. however this is not widely known or talked about (as far as I know, this brand is the only place discussing directionality at this time).
many #bornawakes® try to follow along with what awakening beings are doing, what they see working for their friends or those they admire. and so they explore these practices or behaviors to feel integrated in their spirituality. however it backfires and just leaves them feeling MORE disconnected, and more deeply split between their 3d and absolute selves, than when they started. this affirms for them that they will never be able to feel integrated, so they decide not to bother anymore and go back to self-destructive behaviors because there is no point anyways. (so they believe).
the portal is the only system I know of, specifically created for #bornawakes® and our unique top-down design. every single activation in the portal works TOP-DOWN, allowing you to bring energy down through your entire being as opposed to guiding you to go up and out, seeking source. this shift in the portal supports #bornawakes® in actually learning to work with their energy systems. over time, it eliminates the dissociation, spacey-ness and checking out that #bornawakes® often experience seemingly by accident. by prioritizing this in every portal activation eventually #bornawakes® get to the same space of integration that awakening beings experience through ‘accessing higher consciousness.’
they just want to feel something / ‘here for the experience’
this is the being who’s addicted to the emotional rush - the intensity. whether it be through drugs, crazy reckless behavior, starting fights with their partner, racing cars, jumping out of airplanes or just seeing how many lines of cocaine they can do before their heart explodes...at their core, they have decided that 3d life is meaningless and pointless and so they have decided to pass the time with intense experiences. in its purity, the desire here is to ENTER IN to the 3d experience through emotions and the responses of the nervous system. there is a deep desire to feel ALIVE.
this is because these #bornawakes® have not learned to work with their top-down energy system and so they walk around feeling dissociated, disconnected and apathetic towards life ALL THE TIME. if there is childhood trauma it only exacerbates the directional pull to go up and out, into the absolute away from the human experience. without the tools to properly anchor themselves into 3d life, they only know how to do so through drugs/ recklessness/ inducing nervous system activation. (see the portal, for everything you need to properly anchor into 3d life). you have to understand that as a #bornawake® we know from birth that none of this is real, that it ‘doesn’t matter’ - so escapism through addiction can feel like why not? when you have not learned how to care about 3d reality or you have tried, and failed. which brings me to the next reason #bornawakes® get caught up in addiction...
they miss source/the absolute perspective; attempts to manage their internal split between absolute/3d
this is the being who tried, and failed, to integrate into 3d life. they tried to take ‘reality’ seriously. they tried to follow the rules like finding a purpose, getting a job, and caring about (to them) pointless things like who the president is, or how much money they have in their bank account. this #bornawake® WHOLE-HEARTEDLY invested in taking all of this seriously! they tried sooooo hard to forget what they know: that none of it is real. that none of it matters. that they have literally, zero idea why they are here. and even though they wish they did...they don’t care. except because it makes life BORING.
this #bornawake® just wants to feel at home again, they want to go back to source where everything feels the way it should be. they have confronted their internal split (flipping back and forth between absolute/3d rather than learning to hold both) and have decided they’d rather stay in the absolute perspective than have to give all that up just to have a 3d life. so the bargain they make is that they will stay here, in a body on a 3d timeline, as long as they can be checked out/dissociated and remain in the absolute through addictive behaviors.
every single portal activation is designed to integrate and support #bornawakes® in moving PAST this split, by completing the dynamics that separate their 3d self from their absolute self. every time you do a portal activation you are actively integrating your absolute awareness and your 3d experience, so that over time you are able to exist fully in both simultaneously. at which point the checking out no longer feels necessary, because you’re already tapped in even while you’re here.
overwhelming emotions due to psychic abilities and energetic mission
this one is soooooo common! these #bornawakes® often semi-resonate with concepts like being an ‘empath’ or a ‘highly sensitive person’ but because they understand they are fully creating their reality, aspects of this language/viewpoint don’t sit right with them. (learn more @ this post).
the thing to understand if you are feeling overwhelmed by everything you feel, sense and receive on a daily basis: you have the option to close out the open attachments/karmic dynamics that are causing you to take responsibility for energetic situations playing out around you. you have the option to anchor into your own pure intent and trust that every being is creating the experience they desire, whether consciously or unconsciously, and you do not need to take responsibility for completing their sh*t energetically in order to help them. we have tools that walk you though all of this in the portal.
once these attachments are completed, you will no longer receive so much energetic information. you will be able to complete your mission of closing out as many open attachments as possible for yourself and the collective without having to play this role. there are other ways to accomplish your goals, and as you close out the attachments that make you perceive playing unpaid healer as the only way to get there - alllllll the other available paths will come into focus. suddenly you won’t need to numb out anymore because 3d life will not involve NEARLY as much emotional labor as it does now.
