Card #28 | Reptilian (Parallel) | Primal Fear
In the creation of this card deck, we deliberately chose the species “Reptilian” to represent archetypal primal fear. Why? It isn’t because the Reptilian species is negative, as some distorted information would have you believe. It is because most humans react to this species with fear, which has nothing to do with their true nature. More than anything, this card is a message about the ego’s tendency to make stories. Those stories then lead to a human reaction to the story itself – rather than to the reality of a situation. This is what it means to be trapped in a realm of separation where you don’t remember who you are. You react to the shadows on the walls, interpreting them to mean this or that, instead of resting in your true, nondual nature and seeing reality for what it really is.

Every civilization goes through a maturation process. The peak of this maturation process is during what we call the transition from third to fourth density, which is where your civilization is now. During this sensitive time period, consciousness on a planet begins to polarize dramatically because portions of the collective start tapping into the most primal archetypal fears. Instead of recognizing that their egos are projecting these fears as a way to stimulate consciousness integration and evolution, many people instead make stories about those shadows on the wall and then organize themselves in groups that are “for” or “against” those illusionary shadows. This of course only further polarizes a planet.

This is where a civilization gets lost. There have been many who have destroyed themselves fighting their own shadows. Right now on your world you are seeing this playing out. The stories created by frightened egos—projected as shadows on the walls of the collective consciousness—are fooling those who refuse to look within. The population gets caught in a net of conspiracy theories and political intrigue. Without recognizing these distractions as egoic projections, a civilization finds it nearly impossible to extricate itself from the net of stories that seem very real to the human egos.

This is one of the true spiritual nexus points for both a civilization and its individuals. Those who stay mired in the dramas and stories also stay stuck. It may take lifetimes to be able to see with clear, nonegoic vision. For those who are training themselves to see beyond the stories and human drama, the awakening process accelerates. In this awakening process, all beings then come face-to-face with the shadow within.

The shadow is only that which has been denied. The energy of the pain, the trauma, and the fear that has not been accepted or embraced has to go somewhere. If the person is asleep, this energy projects outward and they chase the shadows in the outer world. If the person is awakening, the energy gets revealed inwardly. This is why so many people going through the awakening process find it so painful and discouraging – because in order to awaken, one must pass through the gate of primal fear. There is no way around it. Befriend that fear, welcome it, and once you have encountered it, know that it represents the part of you that was denied. You don’t even have to understand it. You don’t have to intellectually dissect it. Just own it. Feel it. Welcome it as your ultimate teacher, for it will lead you where you need to go if you follow those proverbial bread crumbs.

There is no more time to waste in new age techniques or “instant healing” methodologies. You aren’t here to deny your pain and fear or to magically bypass it. You are here to feel it. Without feeling the pain and fear, you cannot ever really feel the love. The original prime directive of the One was to experience the full range of what it is like to separate from source. This is it. If you don’t let yourself experience it, “in the trenches” so to speak, the prime directive remains unfulfilled and you stay caught in delusion. It is time to change the story about this. These painful, dark, and scary aspects of being human aren’t because you have fallen or failed in your spirituality somehow. They are present because it is part of the experience you actually volunteered to have, on behalf of the One. Letting go of trying to control your experience and feeling what shows up in reality, no matter how scary, is a noble quest. It is the ultimate spiritual journey. Embracing this journey honors the One (your True Self) and uplifts those around you who are still struggling. You become a shining light, helping to lead the way in what may feel like a very dark cave. You become a link in a chain that leads everyone Home again.
