![]() ![]() It is that spiritual self that is formed once fragmentation of our soul, the "fall" of consciousness, occurs. Without it there would be no contrast to our consciousness, for darkness shapes light. The shadow that we refer to is a spiritual aspect of our beingness, it is that which defines our light, our behavior, our expression. ![]() It sucks, but I'd like to avoid being that person again. I also have a plethora of past actions I'm ashamed of, and have come to realize that when I was younger I was a really manipulative person. I feel like allot of counselors/psychiatrists are just flawed, or judgmental or don't seem to understand what I'm trying to say, or are trying to push some weird agenda, and so I came to reddit. and like I said in another comment I've sought professional help before to no avail. I know the potential to do that is in me somewhere, but I can't seem to unlock it. But I wanna understand my shadow so I can be whole, and be more "powerful" for lack of a better term so I don't have to constantly feel victimized and cowardly. It's quite the challenge to say the least. I feel like everywhere I turn the people around me just take advantage of my weakness, and I know I'm upset about it, but I don't express it, and I want to express as soon as possible because I'm getting older now, I'm a young adult, and I still feel psychologically like a kid. but I'm riddled with fear and insecurities, and I have no support from my family, and no real friends, and I'm a coward, I try to be brave to the degree that I can with moderate success, but I can't seem to figure out what I'm missing or why I can't "be better" I'm also not tryna spin a sob story don't take it that way, think of it more as I'm in a compromised position in a game of chess, I just want to figure out how to make my life better, and how to say the things I want to say, and put forth the things that I want. ![]() I just genuinely feel like "I cant be myself" in quotes because it's such a cliché thing to say. Right I feel that, I want to be "real" i don't really know why or what the consequences will be, but I want it. So it's become pretty obvious to me that I need to do some shadow work for better or for worse, but the question arises what is shadow work, how do you do it, and what should I expectĮDIT: (was originally a response to a comment but I felt it would be more appropriate here) McKenna Address to Jung Society - with caveat that Jung was against use of psychedelics.RadOwl's D3 Dream Interpretation System.If you are experiencing profound mental and emotional difficulties a professional point of contact is recommended.
