So, I’ve been seeing a lot of posts (not just here) but everywhere about how life is losing its meaning. How people are worn out, they’re tired, their faith is waning, they’re experiencing the “dark night of the soul”, etc…
So what exactly is going on? So for a very long long time (before even Jesus came into existence to walk this planet), Huemanity struggles with the Shadow side of things. We are seeing literally very dark days right now among the collective.
So, before I say what I am about to say, I want to get a few things out of the way. I, am in no way, a therapist. I have done a lot of self-therapy, and I continue to do a lot of Shadow work, but I am in no way a professional, and if you are really struggling, you should consult a professional. I also want to make it clear, that as a law abiding citizen, I do not condone nor will I ever condone breaking the law. We have laws set in place to protect ourselves and others. Every good civilized society has laws set in place to keep the peace and to establish order. So keep both of these things in mind before I say what I say.
One of the lies we’ve been fed is to push away the negative, and embrace the positive. Now, is this bad advice? Not necessarily. It has been proven, and there are studies that show, that people who have a mostly positive outlook on life tend to live longer and be healthier. However, this idea of pushing away the negative, does not help people who have no idea what to do with a negative emotion.
Negative emotions in Western Society are viewed with much disdain. And that is because, if I’m being completely honest with you, Western Society does not know how to properly handle a negative emotion. If it did, we wouldn’t have people experiencing a “crisis of faith.” Now that doesn’t mean this is the main reason of why a person experiences a “crisis of faith” cause every person’s situation is unique and in order to completely address the issue, we would have to go on a case by case basis. But, as a whole, Western Society does not know how to properly address negativity.
So, let’s talk this out, how does your average person address negativity? Well, a lot of people tend to ignore it or push it aside. Some people will write off negativity as demons trying to get them to doubt what it is they believe. Or some people just would rather not deal with negativity, so they avoid it at all costs (these are what we consider, positivity addicts. People who, on purpose, avoid negativity altogether.). But, what is the real truth regarding negativity?
I have found that treating every single situation as a learning experience, really truly helps when it comes to dealing with negativity. See, we Westerners have been taught that when something negative comes into our life, we ignore it, or we take it as a warning sign and steer free and clear from negative people. Even labeling something negative doesn’t help. But, if we take every situation as a learning experience, and not just assign a label to whatever issue we have? The emotional charge of that negativity loses its power over you, it loses its grip over you.
So, if we approach every situation that happens to us with the mindset of “What can I learn from this?” We can actually take the Shadow side of our hueman nature and transmute it to something positive. And this can be done, by doing some inner child work (but this can really work for adult trauma as well).
I don’t feel like explaining what inner child work entails, but you can always Google it. Google won’t lie about this, I promise. But, look it up.
For example, let’s say growing up, you were always very self-conscious of the way you look. And you do some inner child work, and you realize that the reason why you have this problem is because, growing up your parents valued looking nice or presentable. And, let’s just say as a child, you just wanted to wear something that was comfortable, and that as a child that wasn’t something that was as big a deal for you. But, because you were a child, and because children love their parents so much, you were willing to try to look nice because it’s what your parents wanted, but not what you wanted. But you realize that it was this standard your parents had that made you question whether you looked nice or not. And when you imagine your future self sitting there with your past self, let’s say that what your past self needed at that moment was to be told that you’re beautiful just the way you are. That you don’t have to look good for your parents, or for anyone, as long as you are content with who you are is what really matters. And let’s say that’s something your past self needed to be told. So you imagine your future self giving your past self a hug and say “The only person who needs to be content with the way they look is you. You don’t have to always look attractive, you are perfect as you are. I love you.” If you do all of this to your past self, you have done something actually very wonderful and extraordinary. Not only have you resolved feeling like appearance-wise you fall short, but you’ve turned a very sad situation into something beautiful. This is the art of transmuting negativity into something positive, and every hueman being has not only the tools, but the means of being able to make anything negative work for their benefit.
Now again…if we’re doing something illegal, that’s something we just shouldn’t do period, end of sentence. We should not be dabbling in anything that is illegal, and we should not be trying to legitimize doing terrible horrible things. That’s not what I advocate for, and usually when you do something illegal you are hurting someone else in some capacity. But for anything that is not illegal, but brings about negativity, we can resolve it. And really, what we’re doing is 2 things: We are first of all, acknowledging that there’s a part of us that we do not like, and we go and we heal that part of ourselves, and we’re taking back ownership of that part of us that we do not like, and not only are we healing but we’re also integrating that part of us that we didn’t like. So in the previous example, we are acknowledging that yes, I tend to struggle with my physical image, but instead of hating that part of us, we are embracing and are ok with that.
Something that huemans I wish would wake up to, is that, every single hueman out there is a mix of good and bad. I don’t believe in this idea that a hueman can be 100% good or 100% bad, every hueman rather is a mix. So this means too, that every hueman has a Shadow side and a Light side, and throughout the day people show both sides at varying degrees.
Something you have to innerstand is Earth runs on the concept of duality. What do I mean by duality? Good vs. bad, Light vs. Dark, Day vs. Night, etc… Meaning everything has 2 sides to it. And what I’m trying to get people to innerstand (though at times can be frustrating) is that you have a Shadow and a Light side to you. So to push away the Shadow side, and only give the Light side of you attention, you are essentially ignoring half of who you are. And, because we live in Dimension that is structured for learning, and because we are pushing away parts of us we do not like, we’re coming up with ways to “mask” that side of us. But if we heal and integrate the parts we don’t like about ourselves, we are able to hold duality within us, to where we can reconcile the metaphorical “good” with the metaphorical “bad.”
Again, it is important to know that doing something illegal cannot be something we try to normalize. It is not ok to harm another hueman being. This is why I say to people to at least live by the 10 Commandments at the very least, cause the 10 Commandments is what our laws here in the U.S. are based on. But for the stuff that isn’t illegal, we can use to our advantage.
The next time you encounter a problem in your life, instead of labeling the problem as good or bad, or as even a problem, instead look at your particular situation with the mindset of “What can I learn from this?” Instead of labeling issues, instead be the observer. Get to know your subject. You can solve most problems in this life by not treating every situation as a problem, but more as what you can learn from it. Cause what happens when you learn something? You’re not focused on being right or wrong right? Because you’re learning! And, let’s say you learn how to do something wrong. Well guess what? Now that you know how to do something the wrong way, all you have to do is opposite of what you did. So even if you do learn something the wrong way, you can STILL use that to your advantage! And we can thank Source (or God) for creating this Dimension so we can figure out things like this!
Source (or God) loves us all very much. And he has given us the tools and the environment (a.k.a. the 3rd Dimension) to figure things out. So, next time you feel a negative emotion, or are even around negativity, instead of labeling it negative and trying to avoid it like the plague, instead get to know it. What can you learn from this? Cause there’s always something you can learn from! Again, use common sense, don’t legitimize doing something illegal, but anything else, just learn from it. See the situation as a tool and not as a demon. Cause you’ll quickly find out that the things we label bad or evil, isn’t truly bad or evil, it’s just the little kid inside of us who needs to know they are loved. And EVERYONE loves little kids (there’s a few people that don’t, but most parents know that kids are precious).
Stop labeling something as good or bad. Instead…learn from it. Don’t walk away and ignore it, don’t use drugs and alcohol as a way to deal with it, instead face it and learn from it. Be gentle and kind to yourself.
The Shadow side can work in our favor, we just need to change our mindsets. It’s only when we change our mindsets that we see that the person we’ve been trying to ignore this entire time is ourselves. You deserve to be happy. So learn and love….cause as long as you keep treating the Shadow side of you with disdain, you will never truly love yourself.
I just want to conclude with this. Let’s say, hypothetically, that Men are Gods and Women are Goddesses, because our very souls (or as I like to say, consciousness) are divine in origin (cause Source ((or God)) created us). What the means, on a basic level, we are God’s and Goddesses because we were once a part of Source (or God). And because we were once a part of Source, our spirits are divine in origin. Well, the collective consciousness on this planet has energy that’s bubbling up. In other words, Huemanity is in a pressure cooker and at any moment the lid is going to blow off due to the enormous amount of hurt that is going on worldwide. And, what huemanity doesn’t realize is, they’re doing this to themselves! We are Creators, and because we are Creators, every single day we are creating more hurt and more pain on this planet. Yes, this is partially due to Free Will, but in order to achieve real world peace, we have to be willing to create good things. But, because huemanity has lost sight of who they actually are, because huemanity doesn’t innerstand that most of the bad things that happen on this planet is quite literally our own fault. We don’t have to have rapists, we don’t have to have thieves, we don’t have to have serial killers, but we do because we have “allowed” this to happen. People don’t realize the power they have. Like, these “dead baby jokes” that people tell, sorry but that’s a Creation. You just created a dead baby based off of one joke. Words have power, words are spells, and there’s spells being cast all the time and because huemans are ignorant, they don’t even realize how just saying a simple “dead baby joke” has enough power to cause an abortion. But, because huemanity doesn’t know itself, and because these 7 families for the longest time has had complete control of our media, our money, pretty much everything, we have allowed these evils to happen. The only way we can get rid of evil on this planet is if people would stop feeding into the idea of evil. I mean we allow so much on this planet, and no one realizes it. We have the power to create, but we abuse that power every chance we get. You are a divine being, and what you say goes. That’s why religion will harp on “speaking life” cause your very words are powerful.
And I’m just as guilty too guys. I realize I do that too, but I’m working on it.
Just something to think about….
Hope this helps,
