Darkness....the unknown...we've ALL been conditioned to fear these aspects of the human journey. The egoic part of us just wants to keep us safe because it lives, thrives & survives IN fear. Our Spirit/Soul/Eternal Energy vibrates IN unconditional love & TRUSTS that which remains hidden to the human. In this episode Maria & Sam talk about their inner work journey & how it has allowed them to feel more connected to SPIRIT, as well as to their human experiences. The phrase shadow self, coined by Carl Jung, stated the shadow to be “the unknown dark side of the personality.” Jung also said that “Everyone carries a shadow,” and “The less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is.” We ALL have aspects of our personalities that we don’t “like,” but when we suppress these thoughts, emotions and/or behaviors they can take an unconscious hold of our lives & often paint our realities from a limited & victimized mindset. We tend to BEcome the very things we fear & want to avoid. By facing that which we perceive to be “negative” (usually born from traumatic experiences) about ourselves (and others) we begin to bring the darkness to Light, freeing all that is withIN us and only wants our loving compassion, innerstanding & acceptance. This also relates to BEing able to look @ & SEE the darkness that is unfolding IN the external matrix world. By opening our HEARTS & allowing ALL realties to be true we step INto LIMITLESS potentials & possibilities for both our inner worlds & outer ONEs. Shadow work merely means we are beginning to make the unconscious/unacknowledged/unexpressed truths conscious. It does not make these things any more or any less true because they've ALL been there the entire time. But we finally begin taking our POWER back when we stop living in unconscious cycles, loops & patterns of the past. We ALL want peace. And the energy of peace lives deep withIN every single ONE of us- but we must first embrace & feel the layers of chaos that are clouding & muddying the way.
