The Book of Abraxas – Nigredo

The unconscious actually arises from Freud in the 19th century, but really goes all the way back to several thousand years before Christ. In ancient Egypt, ancient genetic Egypt, they had a conception of the unconscious.

Keys Insights and takeways

“Spirits don’t respond to fear—they respond to respect, ritual, and recognition.”

 

“To become free, you must burn away the lies that have become your skin.”

  1. The Unconscious is Ancient and Layered: Originating long before Freud, the unconscious appears in ancient Egyptian cosmology as the primeval waters of Nun—symbolic of both personal and cosmic potential.

  2. Kundalini as Evolutionary Current: Described as a biogenetic energy entwined with melanin and embryogenesis, Kundalini is both physical and transcendent.

  3. Consciousness is Non-Local: From pre-birth awareness to post-death continuity, the mind exists beyond linear material conditions.

  4. Shadow Work is the Alchemical Negrito: Facing internal fragmentation initiates spiritual transmutation and personal rebirth.

  5. Repression is a Tool and a Trap: While repression enables civilization, disconnection from the unconscious can lead to catatonic states or breakdowns.

  6. Demons Reflect, Not Destroy: Many demonic encounters are projections of inner wounds and opportunities for individuation and empowerment.

  7. Ritual Unlocks the Self: Whether through art, invocation, or prayer, ritual allows access to the unconscious, providing language to meet the divine within.

“Kundalini is the quantum current guiding your soul’s evolution before and beyond birth.”

“Alchemy begins in darkness—it is the courage to enter the void and return crowned.”

They were very advanced in astronomy, archaeology, mathematics, geometry, and also biology. They did a certain kind of surgery. They knew about the functioning of the brain and many other classical pieces of information about medicine that really weren’t surpassed until the 18th century in Europe. They also had a very sophisticated understanding of what they called the “primeval waters of Nun.’

 

This is the unconscious. That unconscious included not only our personal unconscious—primarily the province of Freud and Adler—but also the collective unconscious, the area that Jung talked about and many others did as well. Freud also referred to it as racial memory. But the ancient Egyptians also talked about the past great netherworld, the unconscious of the literal world, out of which manifests the physical world.

 

On some level, they said the whole universe is conscious, and part of it emerges out of that unconscious into manifestation. That includes both the conscious physical world and the conscious psychic world. My mind really goes back to that time. Its closest reflection today is probably that of Jung’s collective unconscious and Freud’s racial memory. It also includes our individual unconscious and our family unconscious.

 

All these are different gradations of levels in a vast system that includes all of us. Consciousness itself is not local. It’s not trapped inside our heads or brains. It’s doing something far greater than that. That’s the true origin.

It’s the feeling of being dead inside. Disconnected. Plugged in like a heroin addict to the drug, with my hands never too far out of reach. Constantly locking my life into a screen. I need to unplug. This is controlling me. I needed to find a way back to myself. I needed a detox.

 

Human beings seem to have stumbled upon this at least 5000 years BC. What it is remains elusive. The ancient Dravidian Indians referred to this as Kundalini. The ancient Egyptians referred to it as the Eurasian Serpent.

Other cultures all around the Earth have contact with it. It is a biogenetic energy or force, intensely and closely associated with the unfoldment of the human nervous system. The nervous system is based upon the phenomenon of energy, conducted by phenomena known as melanin.

 

Melanin is a substance that absorbs light source quanta and transforms it to higher and higher states of manifestation. This is the origin of our nervous system—right there in a mother’s womb, in our embryogenesis. We begin to move out of that early stage and elongate. That is our nervous system evolving.

Kundalini is the energy underneath and behind that. It is literally the quantum stream of energy that guides our nervous system. It is embedded in all human beings regardless of who you are. It is our inheritance from who knows where. It is at the root of our spiritual genius in vulnerable different ways—and also the foundation of our science.

My own study and practice of it ratifies that. For me, Kundalini is the inherent energy of consciousness. It is the evolutionary and bio-evolutionary basis of our consciousness. I want to emphasize to your audience: it is a physical glow. It is not limited to the physical, but it is embedded in a physical phenomenon.

 

Your nervous system, from the earliest days and earliest weeks of embryogenesis onward, is intimately associated with consciousness. As human beings, we don’t suddenly become conscious at birth. We are conscious for a while before we’re physically born. We know from thousands of near-death studies that for some time after clinical death, we are still conscious.

We are conscious prior to birth, and for some time prior to physical death. Where that ultimately trails off, we do not know. That is still part of the great mystery. And again, consciousness—like energy itself, like matter and energy—is trans-temporal, trans-spatial, and non-localized.

“The waters that drown the psychotic are the same waters the shaman swims in.”

“The demon you fear may be the part of you you’re refusing to meet.”

“Consciousness is not local—it is the inheritance of a universe dreaming itself awake through you.”
