The Faust Syndrome and the End of the Time of Enlightened Masters

Franz Simm: Illustrationen zu Goethes

A phenomenon which I have returned to many times in my books, especially in my book, Lucifer Morningstar – a Philosophical Love Story, is the Faust-syndrome. It is a syndrome which characterizes most Westerners: it is the dangers of ego-inflation in combination with spiritual practice. Ego-inflation is at the same time based on a great denial of our own collective shadow, or painbody, which are rooted in original sin. It is a kind of compensation.

The Conspiracy of the Third Eye

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

(Revelation 13:16-17)

After my two kundalini cycles I moved to Rold Forest in order to go totally into the spiritual practice. I have described the whole philosophical implication of the two kundalini cycles in my Ebook Karen Blixen – The Devil´s Mistress. In this blog post I will describe a certain aspect of kundalini awakening.
