I’m studying and practicing Franz Bardon’s works, and I’ve found him reference how strong passions repeated over time can form what he calls “larvae”. I think they’re also sometimes referred to as “schema”. From what I’ve understood, these are kind of like accidental self created thought forms that leech off of the passions that gave birth to them, bringing on compulsive behaviors that steer and influence you to keep going back to these passions.
I know in my personal life, I could be at the effect of these beings, and I’ve seen clients of mine wracked with compulsions sometimes too, and wonder if they’re not afflicted with something similar.
My curiosity and question is, are there spirits that can help with this? Is there a way to wipe these larvae out other than struggling to pay them no mind and starving them to death?
If there’s a spirit capable of releasing or eradicating these pests, can I equally send that spirit to one of my clients to help clear out their larvae as well?
Interested to hear anyones thoughts or experience on this.
Hi.
I've studied & practised FB's IIH. I think I halted my studies somewhere in Step IV. I have all his books.
I've also read the Step that explains Larvae & Schema.
Yes, Larvae are formed out of our mental energy, which leeches off every time we re-stimulate a worry, or other mental/emotional distress thought. They get stronger (much as a leech gets fatter as it sucks its host's blood). FB said they almost seem to gain their own will, the stronger they get. Plus they can generate or trigger genuine paranormal side effects.
Finally, sensitive people are more prone to larvae and, ironically, so are magicians
even if they know all about them.
The only solution is to develop the form of no-mind FB teaches in his book IIH. (I guess a similar state of no mind arrived at via another method will do the trick as well.) This is because as we gain control over our thoughts, it's like a magical form of CBT. We stop the feedback loop - we no longer stimulate the emotional trigger; the larvae becomes starved of mental energy and dissipates.
Our mental energy returns to us; we become more mentally alert/healthy. And we attain equanimity.
Schema are similar but it tends to be a paranoia, eg about another person. FB gave the example of meeting someone with dark, imposing eyebrows and menacing eyes, who we then worry may be a black magician. Our mental energy then creates a paranormal effect in which it seems like we really are magically attacked by the imagined magician - but in reality we're unknowingly attacking ourselves. We'll not believe it's unreal, because there'll be paranormal effects. Nowadays people may call this a projection.
But he said many people after death are amazed to find nobody was attacking them. It was all their own doing.
The solution to both larvae & schema is the magical method of thought control, leading to a type of 'no-mind', that he taught. Then our dissipated mental energy can return to us, which is beneficial.
As our mental energy is part of ourselves and the larva is in effect a distortion in our mental energy field, it is not an external thing that can be cut off or banished etc. The healthy, wise thing to do is to allow it to become un-distorted, via conscious monitoring of our own thought & emotional processes. (This why knowing ourselves via the magical mirror of the soul is an important first step in the book.)
tl/dr: Unfortunately there's no shortcut when dealing with larvae & schema. We need to learn to halt the negative cycle of emotional trigger and loss of mental energy, allowing our own mental energy to return to us. Otherwise, we'll only keep the cycle going whenever we return to the trigger worry/thought.
In that sense it's like a magical form of cognitive behavioural therapy. Its also like shadow work. People have sometimes asked here: can't I just cut my shadow off, so it's no longer a problem? The answer is we can't cut off and be rid of part of ourselves. We do need to put in the personal work.
I think what
might help is aiding someone to find & sustain mental and emotional calm and peace. Or a state of 'no-mind'. That would allow both larvae & schema to dissipate and restore a healthy mental body. But an ability to treat it via a diy method (like FB's) would be a great asset imo.
[All of the above is as per Franz Bardon's theory and system.]
