I’m concerned that the concepts of Foreign Instillation and Flyers leaves people confused as to what it means for them personally, and also repulsed by the weirdness of Toltec lore. So, I’ll try to explain these terms in less spooky and more practical language.
Foreign Instillation (FI).
The FI is one of the most complex things imaginable, and it really does take a lifetime to throw off its tyranny and keep at bay. Dethroning the command that FI has over us is one of the most important tasks all aspirants undertake. The FI begins with a foundation that is an unavoidable consequence of being social animals. Think of this as the Operating System of your phone or computer. But it becomes excessively honed by the specific community to which we belong, especially our parents and national culture. Think of these specific aspects as programs or apps that you repeatedly use on your device.
The problem is that the FI replaces our identity with a ‘foreign’, exogenous identity – meaning one that is not our true self: arisen from without rather than within. It is not just our mind; it runs deep within our sentience. It is accurate to say that the soul belongs to the FI, which is why it is often stated in spiritual traditions that ‘our soul must die’.
Do you hold the same values and attitudes towards the world as your parents or the community in which you grew up? Does your job provide you with a sense of identity in the world? How widely do you read, and do you ever watch movies with sub-titles? What message are you signalling to others by the clothes you wear?
Flyers.
To understand this feature, you first need to awaken to the world of spirits. There are far more varieties of inorganic beings in the cosmos than organic. At core, there are two types of spirits, those with an energetic essence and those that are hollow. (Leaving aside for now the ‘spirits’ Toltecs refer to as the Human Mould and Form, which are really fascinating!) Every structure has a spirit – if you pile up dirt in the garden, it will have a spirit, as does a car or a shirt – a hollow spirit. Most gods worshiped over millennia are hollow spirits, yet they are extremely powerful due to the obsessive focus placed on them by generations. When I met Anubis, I backed away fast as the power it emanated was like nothing I have experienced before, and yet I could tell it lacked energetic essence.
When you dream of your dead parents, these are almost always disguised spirits stirring up your emotions (doesn’t mean there aren’t important messages involved). But don’t become obsessed with spirits – they are a feature of the cosmos, but not our real purpose. Best to recognize, learn and pass on.
Flyers are a special kind of spirit that feeds off intense, obsessive emotional brooding. They are so fond of this food that they modify the FI by inserting their own app. This way they actually farm humans. Waiting for someone to have a relationship breakdown before they get a feed is inefficient, so they seed society with contagious complexes of attitudes and beliefs that create anguish, anger and depression in those who ‘sign on’ to this kind of mental virus. It is even better if the emotional construct is completely baseless, as with conspiracy theories, which adds a heightened flavour to the mood-food.
Another form of farming is when flyers attach vertically to a family, generation after generation. Typically, you will see this pass down the gender vine, where, for example, all the males are infected by a behavioural trait that causes endless recurring suffering to themselves and the rest of the family, or all the females are infected with humiliation.
Another is that passed horizontally between people. When someone is sexually abused, be sure a flyer is involved, and expands its crop as the pain and anguish ‘emotional trigger’ is passed to the victim. The victim then modifies their own FI identity to assimilate the flyer’s footprint, which provides a lifetime of pain and depression – energetic leakage for the flyer’s sustenance. Often the victim then becomes a perpetrator in one way or another, and the flyer’s crop expands again.
It may be of interest to know that there also exists a Toltec flyer. One reason why I avoid Toltec groups is because there is a flyer attached to them, just as to religions. When you feel that obsessive dark vibe, very similar to conspiracies, which incorporates secret, menacing ideas with a sense of superiority. The density of gloomy, tacky, obsessive, psychic-armpit, is the key to seeing the Toltec flyer. (Note: often when Toltec followers talk of IBs and the Old Sorcerers, you will feel a creepy vibe.)
What is not explained here, is the nature of how we exhaust energy through any excitation of the emotions. Not all are flyer-related. Spontaneous bursts are perfectly natural, although energy expending: much like the phrase, ‘you need to spend money to make money’. The difference can best be explained if you see with colour.
Seeing.
Remember that seeing is not essentially visual. Visuals can come, which is spontaneously insightful as we are so shackled to the eye, but there is always the difficulty with astral visions that they reflect what we already know. The task with seeing is to see energy. This is better through feeling. In fact, it is a peculiar awareness more correctly called sensing, located at the back of the neck.
When meeting someone who is depressed, we often say they are in a black cloud, because we feel a dark mood emanating around them. That’s a spirit we are sensing, attached to the person. No matter where you are, or in whose company, the technique is to block the immediate view and sense behind and around (eg look at people as they are walking away). Then try to see what you are sensing. This is where visuals are useful, but importantly, identifying the ‘mood’ or ‘spirit’ of the person or place.
A shamanic task is to seek out spirits of light, wisdom and power. Never become side-tracked by dark spirits – there is far too much fabulous energy in the universe.
