I have no idea why this thread was created. Returning curses IS already combined. Your supposed to do both.
This meditation was posted on the JoS mainsite in August of 2018. But in reality the meditation dates back to sometime in March. Basically long story short at an astrological aspect around March if I recall for 9 days we used this meditation to clean(before F-RTR). IF you wished to continue go right ahead. But 9 days for permanence to the soul + astrological aspect.
Basically you perform Pt.1 for the Demon and the deep cleansing(I would also perform 3 additional non-programmed energy sloughing maneuvers used after F-RTR) then you perform Pt.2 for the Surya cleaning. Technically you DON'T have to do 216 right away say 36-to-54, basically multiples of 9 for cleaning IF your not doing 216 but half of it either 100 or 111 avoid 108. Non the less afterwards you perform 18 affirmations. No idea why 18 was used I know it's a manifesting number like 10 but no idea why this numerology was used, I'd wager to state if we said it 8 times it would have been alright. But for some reason we used 18 so I don't know what's the reasoning perhaps to manifest the aura more or something.
Anyways both Pt.1 and Pt.2 are done one after the other. If ANYTHING it's akin to cleaning with mantras like beforehand, before the usage of Returning Curses. Think of it more like a package so to speak.
In reality Returning Curses Pt.1/2 is kind a a pointless meditation. I'm not saying it isn't useful. What I'm saying is realistically how long is it performed for? Like for example Maxine mentioned it takes about 2 maybe in many cases 3 years to clean or virginize the soul/aura. So in about 2 or 3 years of cleaning you eliminate all the negativity past, present, and incoming while both cleaning AND building an aura of protection. So in essence after a while Returning curses becomes kinda useless to a degree it still has merits because your pumping up your deflection and repelling of said negativities but non the less the entire point of returning curses in my book is to slough off as much negativity as possible over the course of 2-3 years by the Demon.
That's why the prayer is done as a non-spiritual warfare, spiritual warfare. So we are performing black magic without us having to deal with it rather the Demon or Satan states to returning it to the senders.
Either way both are combined already when done.
