The Shadow Self

Recently I was asked about my shadow self. You will find my response to the request below.

In shadow psychology, Carl Jung stated the shadow to be the unknown dark side of the personality. According to Jung, the shadow, in being instinctive and irrational, is prone to psychological projection, in which a perceived personal inferiority is recognized as a perceived moral deficiency in someone else. ~ Wikipedia

From my perspective, I no longer have what is thought to be a shadow self. I have a human self, and a soul and higher self and they are now integrated. As the process of integration was happening, the so-called shadow part of me dissolved away.

We are all beings of light that have briefly incarnated into human bodies. For my self, I prefer to focus on, or identify with, the being of light which I am, and who I am in the higher dimensions rather than the brief human. By doing so, the human element of me has awakened at higher dimensional levels than I was previously, and the shadow self vanished.

With the vanishment of the shadow self, we can live an infinite life, while in the human body. This is where we find our inner peace and happiness and shine the light for others. May you find and become your true self.

Enlightenment and Emotions


Recently, I was asked if enlightenment meant the loss of all emotions and why?

Yes and no, and here is why. Some emotions no longer happen because they are ego driven and no longer necessary, while other emotions continue because they are authentic. It happens this way because the grip of the ego on our being has lessened, and the ego’s emotions no longer run havoc in one’s life.

After enlightenment has transpired, our being becomes or feels more balanced, with not so many up and downs as before enlightenment had happened. And part of what brings about our enlightened state is doing the work of healing the past-life emotional wounds from our auric field.

Enlightenment doesn’t come all at once, as it is an ongoing process. One gets used to the emotions becoming more balanced, and it becomes the new normal until it is difficult to remember what was life before enlightenment. Enlightenment is more ordinary than what is imagined by most people. Most enlightened people go unnoticed, and they are only known in our society because it is their life lesson or path to be well known.

Being Aware of Being Aware

 Recently, someone asked me if ‘being aware of being aware’ is the only spiritual practice we need to focus on?

Yes, at a particular stage, it pretty much all comes down to this. The path becomes pretty simple and basic. It becomes a practice of ‘nonattachment’ from our desires. When we become aware of an attachment, we adjust to becoming nonattached. We pay attention when we need to change in some way to keep our self clean from any thought-forms which might snag or imprison us.

There might be times when an emotional issue or past wound will come to the surface, and we will be called to self examine or heal another layer from the past. After the issues are seen and worked on, we continue to be in awareness until there is something else to address. As we go, the emotional issues and wounds become less and less, and we become more joyful and free from incumbrances.

Because we have become freer, we might be given more knowledge into the workings of the universe. If so, we should humbly, take in the information, and work with it to expand our understanding while we stay in awareness. And at some point, staying in awareness will become second nature or who we are, and we won’t need to practice, to practice it anymore.

Dark Night Of The Soul #2

I was asked recently, once again, to speak about the coming shift and the collective dark night of the soul, and where we can look for support while we are personally in the process.

The dark night of the soul teaches us what doesn’t kill us will make us stronger. It is a time in which we start to realize we are not in control of our lives like we thought we were. It is possible during such a cycle, we might not have people around us who have had such an experience and can support and understand our process. Your higher self will send people or a person to you for your support if this is something you require.

Usually, at this time on our path, we are our own best company to keep. We know what adjustments need to happen within ourselves during this time and what issues need pondering, and we don’t need to be distracted from our work. As everything gets stripped away from us, we might feel like dying. It can also be a time of mourning for the death or diminishing of our ego-self, which will make room for the new us to emerge when we are ready.

Many around us, who do not understand what is happening to us, might feel uncomfortable about what is taking place. If you need others for support in the process, I would seek out spiritual people who are sincere and wise, and perhaps have gone through such a thing already.

Collectively, we are in a holding period at the moment, which makes it challenging to move forward, and it’s exhausting. There are astrological reasons for this, and also because of the larger cycle of the coming shift. During this time, our job as a lightworker, is to keep focused on our goals, even thou there seems to be no movement happening. It helps when we understand we are in a holding pattern and not to get frustrated or lose our hope when the motion is so slow. I have witnessed these holding patterns a few times before, as they are connected to possible windows for the shift to happen and for us to awaken into a new, higher-dimensional dream.

During similar times in the past, I witnessed the Earth deciding not to go forward with the shift, but to wait. She chose to delay the completion of this old dream for a few more years. The delay allows for more extreme lessons on the current 3-D teaching field. It also enabled lightworkers to ascend higher than the 5th Dimension, which was the initially planned density of the beginning of the new dream. Many don’t realize the delays from 26 years ago, evolved the lightworkers, beyond the density of the 5th dimension for the new dream. We have been at the precipice of the shift for 26 years now, and I have been watching the delays since then. This is also when I went through my third dark night of the soul, personally. During this time, memories arose of pervious dreams and shifts my being was involved in.

At this time, it appears the beginning of the new dream will happen in the 6th to 9th dimensions or densities. The veils between the teaching field and the other side will be very thin. Right now, thou, this current window feels different from the other windows we passed, by, so we shall see what happens with this window. All we can do is ride the wave and watch. None of us are alone or without challenges now. It helps to remember everything is alright, ultimately, and we are being guided and cared for through this very significant time.

Be gentle on yourself and others, and one day we will wake up in a very advanced, futuristic, peaceful world as the new teaching field.

Relationships Change After Awakening

I was recently asked the question “When you spiritually awaken why do the relationships of those close to you feel different?” Below is my answer to this question.

The more we awaken, the more we become sovereign beings and complete within our self. We are no longer emotionally tied to others in the same way we were previously. Our relationships with others become non-personal relationships. The relationships most people have with each other are emotionally, personal and emotionally binding. They become emotionally enmeshed with each other or what some call co-dependent where personal boundaries are diffused.

As we grow spiritually, we learn to balance our emotions and we let go of relationships with emotional dependencies because we value our own sovereignty and enlightenment above all else. As we awaken, the emotional ties to everything loosen, until we become free emotionally from others and the reality of the material. By freeing the emotional bonds we have with others, we make room for our higher self to become more prominent in our being.

Mass Awakening?

I was recently asked If there is one collective mind, then why doesn’t awakening of one lead to the awakening of all?

All will eventually awaken, but the One of us All, has its own timing of how and when this happens for each of us. All of our souls were not birthed into manifestation from the One at the same time, so why should they all awaken at the same time? This would defeat the journey of self-discovery. If it all happened at the same time it would take away from the cosmic adventure of becoming an individual, which is the whole point of splitting the soul in the first place.

In terms of the coming collective shift and the new earth, as this is happening approaches, more beings are having awakening experiences every day and our awakening does help others to awaken, but there will never be a time when we are all awakened at the same level.

Understanding there are unlimited universes all happening at the same time on an infinite spectrum of light gives the notion of a collective mind a different meaning.  The collective part is we are all from the same soul but have come out of the One at different points of the collective soul’s journey and this is where the term old soul and young soul came from.  There is a lot of misinformation about what this reality and creation are and unraveling and understanding the truth is part of the journey.

Explaining What Soul Is to A 3rd Grader

Personally, I give little kids a lot of credit for understanding or the ability to understand more than we think they can.  I say teach them what you know to be true. This is how I would explain the notion of soul to a 3rd grader:

the soul is the thing which breaths us and gives us all life.  We all have part of the same soul in us and when it leaves the body, to go back to its true home, the body has no power. True home is where our soul lives in between lifetimes.

I would also say that we need to sleep and dream each night so that our soul can connect with our true home for a little bit to keep us healthy. I think these are important elements to mention to give a rounded understanding because kids are smart and they think about things.

This is basic information about who we are and essential to understanding Self.

Consciousness Is Infinite

I was recently asked: is detachment the root cause from which conscience and soul are formed?

We can only theorize at whatever level we understand or perceive creation and I hope my answer will give reality true justice.

From my current perception, I understand that creation, which is comprised of an infinite universe has no beginning and no end. It just is.

Creation is a paradox, as it is always beginning and it always ending. It is similar to the ancient Greek symbol of the Ouroboros: the snake eating its tail, which means infinity or wholeness. So there is no root cause for the soul and conscience or consciousness (higher self) to be formed as they have always existed. One is purer than the other.

I perceive that creation has always had the desire or push to expand and to know itself. We are ourselves are a microcosm of the whole. Within each of us is the desire to grow and to understand who we are…. What is our origin? Your question is a good example of this. Creation is a spectrum of light. There will always be consciousness which is lighter than our own and there will always be consciousness which is darker than our own.

My Awakening

I have experienced many stages of awakening all throughout my adult life.

My first awakening happened in my early twenties, in 1974, after sincerely telling the universe I wanted to know more. This started me on my spiritual path. I progressed on my path pretty normally up until the last 20 years when life became very intense and hard. The deepest shifts in my spiritual awakenings were during this time precipitated from illnesses, hardships, and tragedies. These were the methods my soul/Higher self chose for me to go through to ascend and to strip away my ego. It is absolutely true what doesn’t kill us will make us stronger.

The very short version of my awakening story is: I have a virus in my body which made it difficult for me to work normally to earn a living because I don’t have enough energy. This forced me into surrendering into a new lifestyle that gave me more time to ponder reality then what most people are able to do. And because of the virus and not being able to work, there was a lengthy period in my life when I was close to becoming homeless. And during this time of devastating hardship, my longtime soul mate suddenly became ill and died. After his death and over the months that followed, I completely let go of everything in the material world I had been holding on to.

This was all happening during the first stage of the crisis in the Middle East when so many beings were going through intense hardships. This made what i was going through seem like peanuts. This gave me an important perspective and I became grateful for the smallest things in my life. Also during this time, I pushed the envelope to develop a deep relationship with my higher self and to ask really deep questions about reality. It was an ultra-intense time for me to study and gain higher Knowledge. I had a deep thirst to know the things others would say “there is no way to know such things while in the human form”. No one had the undistorted information which I wanted to know, so it was up to me to find out for myself and so I did. This raised my vibration even more.

Since my ascension and awakening into the highest of dimensions, I have been given a secure place to live and a small inheritance and live a simple peaceful life. I am very grateful indeed.
