Psalm 43: You Can Dissolve An Unjust Situation

Today, we are working Psalm 43. Some traditional magical uses for Psalm 43 are to melt any unjust situation, for material needs to be met, to turn back evil, and to reverse slander. Let's melt an unjust situation.

The way we work psalm magic is simple, easy, and effective. We take the psalm that we're working and we speak it out loud once all the way through without stopping. We call this an incantation.

After we're finished with our incantation, we go back through the psalm and we consider each verse one at a time. We search for hidden, often called occult, meanings that lie within each verse. As we dig for those meanings and search for those meanings and then apply what we find to whatever the situation is that we've brought to the psalm, we are in effect dislodging magical seeds from the psalm that are planted in the depths of our mind where they take root, they grow, they blossom forth, and they bear fruit after their kind.

And that is precisely what we are going to do together right now with Psalm 43. Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

For Thou art the God of my strength. Why dost Thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? O send out Thy light and Thy truth. Let them lead me.

Let them bring me unto Thy holy hill and to Thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy. Yea, upon the harp will I praise Thee, O God my God.

Why art Thou cast down, O my soul? And why art Thou disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him, who is the health of my countenance and my God. There is a strong belief that Psalms 42 and 43 really are one psalm, and many people treat them as such, but we treat them as two separate psalms. It says, Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation.

O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. In the King James Version of the Bible, God always is a translation from Hebrew of the Elohim. The Elohim is considered the collective, the host of heaven.

What this represents for us is the oneness that is the source of all life. There is one source, one substance, one power in all the universe. There's but one.

Therefore, there's nothing to oppose it. There's nothing that can go against it. We say that one with this force is a majority, and that whomever this force is for, nothing can be against.

And this force is for us because it is our source. We are extensions of this one source, as beams of light from a central star. And it's saying, Judge me, O God, and please my cause against an ungodly nation.

It's acting as though Elohim is the defense attorney here in a courtroom. That's the setting here. When we are asking to be judged, we understand that the infinite judges us based on who we are, not based upon who we believe we are.

We believe we are fragmented. We believe we are weak. We believe we are vulnerable.

We believe we are small. And the infinite knows the truth about us because the infinite creates us. The infinite extends itself as us.

The infinite knows who we are as souls, not as egos. As souls, none of those things are true. And so we want the judgment of this power because we want to be judged as we are, rather than as we believe we are.

When we are asking to have our case pleaded against an ungodly nation, a nation is an overarching thought form or thought system within us. The ungodly nation that is within us is often called the ego mind. That part of our thinking that believes we are different than we really are.

That not only believes that we are different than we really are, but is actively trying to prove that we are different than we really are. Trying to prove to us constantly that we're small, that we're vulnerable, that we're weak. So, you can understand why the judgment of God is something that we would rather have than the belief system of this so-called ungodly nation or ungodly thought form.

It says, Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. So, the deceitful and unjust man can be people in our lives. So, whatever you brought to the psalm, you decided that you wanted to be delivered from this unjust situation.

Well, unjust situations aren't usually just situations on their own. They usually have some people that are the cause of them. So, the unjust man does point to those people, but we have to understand if we really want to be powerful with our magic, that even they are symbols of the unjust man within us, the ego mind within us, the belief that we are different than we really are.

So, we can understand how just this one verse packs quite a punch, because we're asking for the infinite to judge us, to bring us into understanding the truth about who we are, not the untruths that we have come to believe that we are. Those untruths that we've come to believe we are come to us from this ungodly nation and this unjust man. And those symbols are things that are within our minds.

For thou art the God of my strength. Why dost thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? Strength in these Psalms almost always represents military strength. Spirit number five on the tree of life.

Samael, Mars, War. The infinite is the ultimate warrior from that point of view. Like we said at the beginning, anything that tries to go up against it fails.

You can't go up against the infinite. You can't go up against the one power. The God of my strength, when we are personalizing that, we are recognizing I don't need to defend myself.

In fact, I have to stop defending myself because when I defend myself, I'm reinforcing these lies that I'm weak, that I'm separate, that I'm different than I was created. Because we are extensions of the infinite. Therefore, the infinite is our strength.

The infinite is our defense. And if we understand that, then we stop interfering. We stop trying to defend ourselves and allow ourselves to be defended.

Why dost thou cast me off? Remember, when we ask questions like that in the Psalms, we need to take it personally. In other words, the infinite doesn't cast off its creations. The sun doesn't cast off sunbeams.

A star doesn't cast off starbeams. But in our mind, we believe that we are cast off, and thereby we are casting off the infinite in favor of believing in our fears, believing in our weaknesses, believing in this whole idea of an ungodly nation and an unjust man. Remember that the ego is not real.

It's simply a habit of thinking. It's nothing to fear. It's something we make up.

What we're asking for is to be reoriented. We want to completely reorient our perspective and our point of view. We want to understand that we are powerful because that's how we were created.

And we can't make ourselves unpowerful, but we can believe we are not powerful. We can believe we are victims. We are asking the infinite to show us the truth.

Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? Exactly. Why am I being so upset about oppression when oppression can't happen to me? I can't be oppressed. So if I'm involved with licking my wounds and feeling sorry for myself and being upset and putting up defenses and preparing for the worst and all of those things, I am spending my thinking reinforcing the untruths of this ego mind instead of allowing the infinite to express itself through me, the truth of who I am, that judgment from the infinite that we've asked for.

Judge me. In other words, show me the truth. Show me the truth and let me see through the illusions.

Oh, send out thy light and thy truth. Let them lead me. For one thing, you are the light and the truth.

That's who you are. As an extension and an expression of the infinite, you are the light of the world. You are the light of the world.

You are the truth of the world. And if you're not acting like that, if you're not accepting that, if you're not understanding that, then it's not a huge big mystery as to why you're going through what you're going through. It's not a big mystery because you're believing in and projecting untruths onto the screen of space, projecting untruths as images onto the screen of space that then you believe in and interact with as if they're real, all while ignoring the infinite and its truth about you.

When it says, why dost thou cast me off? That's you casting off the infinite or attempting to in your mind. Oh, send out thy light and thy truth. Let them lead me.

So you want to be led and guided by the light and the truth of the infinite and reminding yourself that you are one with that light. You are one with that truth. You want to be taught, guided, and led into understanding who you are and why you're so powerful and why there's nothing to fear and why this unjust situation has no substance and therefore must melt like candle wax.

Let them bring me unto thy holy hill and to thy tabernacles. The holy hill is that part of your consciousness that is the most elevated. And that's our job.

Our job is to do our very best to climb up that hill in our minds to elevate our thinking to the highest thoughts that we're capable of thanking and let the infinite do the rest. If we don't make that first move, if we don't exercise our spiritual muscles, it's as if we don't really want what we say we want. I just want to lay in bed, eat bonbons, and scroll through TikTok.

You do it, God. Do it for me. That's not how it works.

We have to co-create. We have to be involved. So we have to climb up.

We have to do our best. We have to elevate our consciousness and think the highest thoughts that we're capable of thinking. And then what that does for us is it truly invites the infinite in because the infinite never does anything for us or to us without our consent because that would be akin to an attack.

If you're just sitting around having a nice evening and a bunch of soldiers come into your house and say, we know what's best for you. We know what's going to make you happy. Come with us.

It may be good. It may not be good. But either way, I didn't ask for it.

So it's an attack, right? That's never going to happen. Not with the infinite. There's never going to be a band of angels coming and forcing you to be, do, or have anything.

You have to be the one to instigate it. The infinite will not only match your efforts, but will underwrite them so that you get back an infinite amount of interest to what you invest. When you are raising up in consciousness, going up that hill, on the top of the hill is the tabernacle, meaning that is where you and the infinite have a place of communication that is so far removed from your day-to-day activities, from your normal egoic thought systems, that you're at a place where you can actually hear it, where you can actually receive it.

When you're in your normal, everyday state of mind, you're so hypnotized by the ego, there's no way that you could even consider the truth about the infinite. You have to elevate your consciousness so that you can find that place of communication. Then will I go unto the altar of my God, unto God my exceeding joy.

Yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O my God. The altar of God is within you, and it was placed there by the infinite so that you will always have a place to connect when you forget where you are. The second that we thought up the ego, the second that we devised all of these ideas that were separate and that were alone, the infinite placed that altar there so that we would never be alone.

So that altar is within us. When we go to this altar that is in that tabernacle up on that holy hill, we find that connection with the infinite that brings us exceeding joy. And so there's a reverse engineering that we can do in order to rise up and climb up that hill.

It's almost like taking the elevator. We can take the ski lift up to the top of the holy hill. And that's by finding joy, expressing joy, feeling joy.

It's the ultimate defiance, experiencing joy in the midst of sorrow, fear, upset. So you've got an unjust situation and then you say, well, my response to that is I'm going to experience joy. I'm going to find joy.

That is the ultimate act of defiance. And that is the type of defiance that the infinite really wants from you. It wants you to defy the ego.

It wants you to defy the illusion in favor of the truth. Like I said, you can get there as a shortcut by finding that joy. That joy is an expression of you understanding your oneness with the infinite.

You can't have joy without experiencing oneness with the infinite. Joy does not exist within a separated, fragmented mind. Anytime you experience joy, no matter what you think the cause is, it's because you're remembering your oneness with the infinite.

Yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God, my God. So not only do we experience this in our minds, but we are going to play this on the harp. You play the harp with your fingers.

Meaning the things I do in the world are going to be now expressions of the joy that I experience as I understand my oneness. It's not just in a meditation, in these moments of spell casting, or these spiritual exercises. It's in my everyday experience.

It's in my work in the world. So every time I do something in the world, I'm playing a harp. I am praising the infinite upon the harp.

It's also called worship. Worship means to work for. Worship means how you work in the world.

You're working for the infinite. Are you worshiping the ego? That means the things that you do, the work that you do in the world, is in service to the ego. Are you working for the infinite? That means that all the work you do in the world, the things that you do, the actions that you take, are in praise of the infinite, one or the other.

Why art thou… Okay, now this number five here, this verse is one that was repeated twice in Psalm 42. So this is why they believe that 42 and 43 are one psalm. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise him who is the health of my countenance and my God.

Whatever we brought to the psalm here, whatever the problem is that we need help with, or if you brought a goal, if you had something that you want to manifest, whatever it is, today we've decided that we're wanting to melt an unjust situation. So let's bring this situation to mind again. And we're saying, why art thou cast down, O my soul? Soul in the psalms means the deep mind.

Doesn't mean that the soul, like we defined it, you as being a perfect expression of the infinite. So the soul, the way we understand it, is already perfect and can never be cast down or any of that. But the deep mind can.

So why art thou cast down, O subconscious mind? And why art thou disquieted within me? Why am I oriented habitually toward being so depressed all the time? Why is it that I'm so much more interested in problems than I am in solutions? Why am I doing this? That's a great question to ask yourself because there's no good answer. There is no good answer for that. It's just because is the only answer.

Because I'm in the habit of doing it. I remember when I was a little kid, smoking was a big deal then. Everybody smoked when I was little.

But they were talking about how bad it was for you. And I said, well, if it's so bad, why do you do it? Well, because I'm addicted. It's a bad habit.

Well, let's just stop. I didn't understand. Why don't you just stop if it's so bad? And that's what we're asking here.

Why am I doing this? Why am I so committed to problems? Why am I so committed to being upset all the time? Why is my need to be upset so much more important than my need to have joy? The exceeding joy that we just discussed. Especially since now we understand that exceeding joy is the indicator that you and the infinite are one and that your problems are being solved. But instead, we are so much more attracted to the problem.

We're so much more attracted to the pain. We are so much more attracted to the conflict. We're so much more attracted to the poverty, to the blame, to the upset.

Why? There's no good answer. So it's up to us to say, well, I don't want this. I don't want these tendencies.

I don't want these habits. I want resolution more than I want to be right about whatever it is that I'm being right about. Hope in God, for I shall yet praise him.

To hope in God means to put your faith in the infinite rather than your faith in the problem. It's not that easy for most people. They want to think about their problem day and night, and then you give them a solution like a psalm like this, and you say, well, think about the infinite instead of your problem.

Most people don't want to do that. They really find more comfort in thinking about their problem and being upset than they do about thinking about the solution, which is the infinite. So hope in God, for I shall yet praise him.

How do you praise something? By acknowledging it. By acknowledging that it's good. And the more enthusiasm you have in acknowledging that it's good, the more potent the praise is.

And you don't just praise the power as an abstract principle, because that does nothing for you except for maybe make you feel good for a second. The Lord, God, here, is the good in your life. Get specific.

What is good? And when you're in the middle of a problem, when you're in the middle of being disquieted, nothing seems good. So you have to force yourself to say something's good. I had breakfast this morning.

I can breathe. I have a hand, right? And you start it, and you praise, and you get enthusiastic about it, and you think of the next thing, and then you think of the next thing. Get excited and enthusiastic about how wonderful things are, and then that begets more praise, more praise, more praise.

Soon, this praise becomes a snowball going down the hill, and it gets huge, and it crowds out the problem altogether. Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him, who is the health of my countenance and my God. The health of your countenance is the understanding of who you really are.

Your true countenance, your face, how the infinite recognizes you, is not the face of your ego. The infinite doesn't even acknowledge that you have one, an ego. The infinite doesn't acknowledge that you have a personality.

The infinite only acknowledges your face as your soul. The more you are allowing the infinite to see you as you are, and to, as it said before, judge you as you are, the more you are used to experiencing yourself as you are, versus the way that you have come to believe you are, which is very different. Who you are as a soul is very different than the person that you've decided you are through the years, the personality that you've concocted.

And we want the infinite's version of you, not your version of you, to take precedence. And the cool thing about judgment is the infinite judges you, meaning it doesn't all go. It's like the infinite's not going to come through your personality and say, okay, everything goes.

There's a lot about you that is a perfect expression of who you are as a soul. It's just the other stuff. It's the stuff that's not true, the stuff that you did make up all by yourself to prove that you're not good enough, to prove that you're separate, to prove that life is horrible, to prove whatever.

Those things are the things that the infinite doesn't want you to keep, but like we said before, will not force you to get rid of. So you have to decide that this is what you want. And when you've decided that this is what you want, get ready because it's going to happen.

And so you just keep coming back to the same psalm every day until you get a sense of peace and certainty about whatever it is that you brought to the psalm. Peace and certainty that you know it's being resolved. You get a nice feeling within you that you're not worried about it anymore.

When you get that nice feeling, or I call it a click, then you know your spell has cast and you don't have to work on it anymore. In fact, it's better if you don't. Just forget about it and move on to something else and let it take shape the way it will.

Thank you so much for spending some time with me today. I so appreciate you. Until next time, Blessed Be.
