First Stream Cycle
”Self Coma”

Yes. This image is difficult to look at, but this is how those in this Stream Cycle often are when assessing “connection” to their Spirit Self. Whether they were born into this Consciousness already in a coma, or have arrived at it through an inability to heal through a traumatic Experience, beome physically addicted to a person, place, or thing, …you cannot simply “wake them up”.

Why are they there? Do they know why? Do they know enough to share with you?

As a matter of factual information, those who are in a Self-Coma do not typically go to Magick School, much less make it this point of Self Work. So, kindly put that OUT of your Mind. You are swimming in deeper waters.

For those around you that may be swimming here, all most of us can do is choose to walk with them, from a distance at times, and help them seek healing when applicable. When we start looking at the Stream Cycles, we often begin looking around at our individual lives and begin to see “which people can fit where”. We begin to recognize the patterns that have been there all along.

Self Coma

There is some Truth to this natural behavior. As stated above, we learn to recognize the First Stream Cycle is best represented by the term we know as “Self Coma”. For those entering this Cycle, they are sometimes considered “New Souls”, or “new spirits”. Sometimes, it is for other reasons that we lose touch with our Spirit Self. It does not always mean they, or we, have never Experienced life but that we may not have been awake the last few times around and may seem aloof or lost currently, or temporarily. (Such as what occurs with a traumatic brain injury. Some do not wake up from that, literally and figuratively.) Regardless, these individuals tend to focus on the differences around them, what they have versus what they do not. They can often become caught in a mindset of Abundance versus Scarcity for their entire lives. They are always looking at what other people have materialistically, financially, even spiritually and do not or cannot recognize what THEY DO have.

We cannot change this for them, no matter how hard we try. It is their Experience, this one of Self Coma — to have energetically. You simply are wise to be the best that you can be around them and not cost yourself expenditures of energy trying to make a horse drink water, so to speak, in futility. If they trigger you, make light work of the interaction, get in, get out. LOVE. Always be kind.

Ask yourself, would you yell at a sleeping baby? Same principle. Many that find themselves in the First Stream Cycle are overwhelmed with all of the input of life, just as a newborn can be. Although we are speaking of two different things, one being of Matter — a manifested newborn, and the other is of Spirit — a human in the First Stream Cycle.

If you yell at a screaming baby or another in Self Coma, you are just going to anger or scare them.
CONSERVE YOUR ENERGY.
There are more productive ways to be, for you and them.

It is suspected that as one moves through Self Coma they become more aware of the differences but the differences are not a driving factor as much for them.

“Yeah. The light is on.” They are simply aware that it is on, they know it is on to help them see… they may even know it is on to keep them fro falling down the proverbial stairs. But most are incapable of seeing all of that AND why. Or, the impact that fall may have on them or the collateral damage it may cause.

First Stream Differences

To help, it is always better if we are learning to “deal with difference” out the gate to Experience this Stream Cycle of Consciousness more fully. Working on Shadow and Ego help here immensely, but good luck with one doing more than simply “there’s a problem” when they are in a Self Coma. Healing past traumas, if possible, is HIGHLY recommended to aid one in evolution of the Spirit to move into the next Stream, whether it is this manifestation or the next. This includes the effect being in a Self Coma when caring for a child or elder who is NOT in a Self Come. Often times, Shadow and Ego are perpetuated regardless unless healing occurs.

As Clergy or Teacher, know who you are communicating with. Observe first. Listen without Ego.

Within each Soul (which manifests many Spirits) it is believed that there are several different Streams of Consciousness. Imagine it this way:

We are speaking Spirit only here.
(Matter has a whole other set of circumstances.)

Imagine that you are a diver in your stream of Experiences. Your scuba gear is your Protection, Wards, Meditation, and various other personal Magickal and Medicinal practices and spirituality. As you swim along you are suddenly caught up in a current.

This current can be representative of a physical, mental or emotional response to the stimuli around you. When you stop to check your meter, you realize you have been carried miles off course from your Journey. You chose to swim through this water but now it is time for a change/transition. You are AWARE of its effect on you. This stream carries you nowhere beneficial for your Experience on your Journey. You became AWARE. This is evidenced as you are actually reading about Streams of Consciousness RIGHT NOW at 3CMM.

Awareness is the first Key. It is on us, the Practitioner, to learn to stop swimming in non-beneficial currents that stagnate our Journey in a seeming energetic eddy, or sand bar. Granted we get to swim all the currents over Time, but it is on us to become AWARE of the current or be carried away with it FIRST. Once we are aware, we are wise to seek others swimming with us and also evolving in Self.

”Like attracts like.”

But do not be deceived. Being in constant “likeness” does not allow growth and change, a Universal constant to occur easily.

Know also, no Stream Cycle linear, nor is it circular. It is more like an underwater landscape, each touching the other, you to It, (Consciousness), and It to others. “Something” fills all the space between. All energies are separate but inside of ONE “life form” – the ocean… or ONE CONSCIOUSNESS.
(Please keep in mind, this is but one concept of Consciousness. Most do not learn more than one in one lifetime or manifestation in Matter.)

Again, this first Stream Cycle is called Self Coma.

It is the deepest stream of unconsciousness, or where one struggles to have any awareness of how Experience will effect them.

Those choosing to be trapped in this Self Coma are attracted to many devices and things of Matter. They think they are not fully connected to the Universe around them and prefer to Self Medicate or become numb in some way. “The comfort of Mother” is continually sought. Many who are in the Self Coma Stream are addicted to various substances and prefer to escape from reality as often as they can. Anything they can find to take them away from their reality is latched onto.

Some appear to be “programmed” or to be on “autopilot” and are simply going through the motions of life, detached and unaware of how their reality is even mapped. We bet you know people like this. We all do. It is natural behavior and it does not serve us to push “anger” or “hate” or any other non-beneficial emotion that not only takes energy FROM US, but very rarely serves anyone in this Cycle. If is frustrating, but natural.

We took our First Breath. Now, we must learn to sit or stand.

Some that are in Self Coma are unaware of anything but their own mind. They think that all humans are “like them”, or “like minded”, when in fact being “like” another ends for most at “being human”. We at Three Circles Medicine & Magick™ shy away from “like minded” as we are all in different stations of Life Experience. We often find reality is distorted for those remaining in Self Coma from our view. They often are unable to follow through with much in life as they do not understand it, do not “see the pattern”. These beings react to stimuli around them without thought. Some who are a little more evolved can focus on their ability to have power over others, things, data, animals, and other things that exists in Matter but most only focus on “what they like” and are completely disinterested in learning about others and their Experiences.

Read that again.

Many of us have been burned by this fact of Experience from others who “know the right words” but cannot find the “right actions” for whatever interaction we were having with them. As they say, “patience is a virtue”… and their Truth of Stream, or intention, is seen. Being in a Self Coma is often why.

Within this stream, “wants” are more important than “needs”. One may go out to eat by themselves versus buying food for everyone at home. This is NOT to be confused with Self Care. There is a difference and even in times of need we refill our “Spirit” cup by showing our Self some care or love. The action in turn refuels us to better handle a situation and remedy or heal it. The Key here is being able to see and follow the “string” on actions and determine the results, or close results, before we take action.

As stated above, those truly in a Coma Stream cannot be woken, not even gently without sometimes causing an ill effect or disaster. Even if all obstacles such as addiction are removed, a bad relationship is settled and over, schooling is finished, it is still from someone in Self Coma. It is up to their Free Will to choose to move forward or into the next Stream of Consciousness for their Experience.



Please note about this Stream that it is sometimes found that one only appears to be in Self Coma. This is most often seen in the young, whose prefrontal cortex does not come online for our species until around 25 years of age, or for those who are said to be resting from a previously stressful Stream of Consciousness Experience in Matter. Perhaps consider this stress came from sudden death such as that from an accident or murder for example.

 Divination 103
First Stream Cycle
Sword Pips - “Self Coma”

Self Coma is represented by the following cards in tarot. (Pictured above) It is advised that you take out each card and study its meaning relative to the Stream Cycle. Self Coma is represented by the Pips, (1-10) of Swords.

Ace of Swords
The Ace of Swords says, “I wear this crown on my head isolated in these desolate barren high mountains, everything is only understood through the physical and Ego which causes isolation.”

Two of Swords
Two of Swords says, “I have deliberately blindfolded myself and hold my world of thoughts close to my vest.  My all-consuming thoughts have caused me to not trust others.  I am alone in the darkness of night.”  Yet this young human sits on the green altar sea shore.  UNAWARE. The threshold of full consciousness is ust a few feet away from them, should they choose to become Aware.

Three of Swords
Three of Swords says, “I have no trouble tearing myself down with my own thoughts so much so they pierce my heart.”  The Heart, tired of being in painful Thought, finally says, “I chose to move away from my pain.” (numbing) (Think numbing by imbibing or addiction.)

Four of Swords
Four of Swords says, “I quietly repose and consider my thoughts, I have placed myself in a coma because I deeply need recuperation and golden healing in a safe sanctuary.” This speaks to the previous life experience of trauma. Individuals in this space find safety AT HOME the most.

Five of Swords
Five of Swords says, “He seems to be the smug victor by battling these two individuals walking away with his blind intellect.  He apparently won a verbal battle with at least two others previously as he is holding his own sword and holding two others in his hand that he collected from a previous debate, while the other two swords remain on the ground.” (These may have been placed by ones who cared not to argue with a wall and instead see the value in walking away, indicative of being on a different stream cycle.) It is here that we begin to see those in the First Stream Cycle take advantage of others who they unknowingly “outwit”, “charm”, lie to, manipulate, etc. They can also become skilled at simply “doing their job” to the best of their current ability and succeeding without making waves or hurting others in the process of bettering Self. Think about a skilled individual, say a nurses aid, that does a great job but is also an alcoholic. They have unhealed trauma that may not see in this lifetime to heal.

Six of Swords
Six of Swords says, “I allow others to move me to a place of rest and have no problem that I am taking a trip in an unworthy boat.”  Why unworthy?  There are six sharp swords piercing the bottom of the vessel and the boat is already riding low. We cannot call them “lazy” as they are not aware. To them, it is often “just another day of hardship” and they are doing nothing to change their situation. They are not always capable of seeing their way to change.

Seven of Swords
Seven of Swords says, “Though I sleep I am more clever than my community.  Through trickery I leave this community with five less swords.”  Often criminals reside here. They do not see the effect their desire for “things” effects others, or causes others harm, much less themselves. This is a little slyer than the one before. This is also where you will see one who does not make waves in their Stream do a good job and get promoted which completely feeds their “comfort” creature aspects. They do not grow, change, gain Knowledge, etc. They simply “acquire more” and do nothing to grow or learn or better Self. Again, this is completely fine if they are in a “rest” phase of their manifestations of Matter. The only person they are hurting is themselves.

Eight of Swords
Eight of Swords says, “All my thoughts isolate me and blind me, they set me out of the city and away from those I love.” Again, there is self deception as the individual may walk out of the Come Self at any time as they have Free Will and are more evolved. They begin to have moments of curiosity and may begin dipping their toe in the next Stream.

Nine of Swords
Nine of Swords says, “I can’t stop my incessant Thoughts, they pierce my mind, affect my voice and pierce my heart.”  You can see one sword floating in the air piercing the head, another piercing the throat and yet another piercing the heart space through the back.  You will find these three energy points, or chakras, blocked often if not always for this individual. They find it difficult to articulate what they are thinking or feeling. Those in this portion of the Stream Cycle benefit more from Empathy rather than admonishment. They “know” something is there and may be beginning to awaken their Awareness.

Ten of Swords
Ten of Swords says, “I am in deep coma and have no intentions of awakening, completely attached to the Earth.  It is easy to see every Sword pip is a self-induced coma, but they are at peace with their Coma.  Every energy point is blocked in this individual as they are about to transition spiritually. Some succumb to it and go with it easily and some do not.

To recap, all Sword pips represent the first Stream Cycle Ace through the numeral ten. It is often said that it is “darkest before the dawn”… this is that place.

The Fool, Chariot and Hierophant represent the First Monad of Soul in which this Stream often resides.
