This year has been a little different for me in a lot of ways.
One of the things I've done when I have these Dark Nights of the Souls is that I usually work out what I want on some level. I set goals of some sort. Sometimes it's with a vision board. With that foundation under my feet I usually can start attaining goals and gaining traction. Last time I went to see the Medium Robert Brown and the channel Bashar. This year I created a bucket list where I wrote down the things I really wanted to do....visit Sea World that left an intersting impresson on me as a child and go whal watching were the first two. The next was a genetic test which I did do and I'll write a review along with my experience in a future post. Next I placed on the list, "See Peter Woodbury Speak" and "Have A Session With Peter Woodbury," Right after that he announced he was coming to Los Angeles for a workshop and would also do a rare regression session for the entire group. I couldn't miss the opportunity. The experience was a little strange for me in a lot of ways and I'll explain that in a future post as well...sorry to say that so many times here but I want to share what I think is the most exciting. Opportunities to write are rare and I'm running with what I'm most amazed by in the moment. The most interseting aspect for me was Peter Woodbury himself. Also a fan of Carl Jung and open minded he's fascinated me for a bit. On Facebook he is the most active and friendly members. I also wanted to thank him for interperting the dream I had last June. He's made comments on my posts when I was in need and that really impressed me. What struck me most, in person, was Peter's need for Shadow Work...and that his greatest work where he can help the most lies in that area but he's walking in the shadow of his past life regression teacher, Brian Weiss. Weiss has never intersted me because he seems like a one dimensional blissed out guru. He's done good things but I've never bought his books...I did use his online regression session and both Peter and Kim Trottman (whom I went to for a one-on-one past life regression session) were trained by him. So, indirectly he has positively affected my life but as a person- as an individual- he's never impressed me. He's like a tape with one song on it...after a while listening to him is boring. What Surprised Me About Peter's Workshop I realized that Peter has some major Shadow Work that he needs to embrace to find his own unique voice. I have to admit, I was surprised by how painfully honest he was when confessing his shameful Past Lives to a room of strangers. First, Peter told us he had cancelled two trips out to California because of Karma in the area. Second, when he spoke about being regressed by some of his students to the in between lives level he made some interesting statements. First, he thought that the reason all of his guides were in awe of him was because they had mistaken him for Brian Weiss. However, he explained, the 'love fest' was ended when he was shown that he was a pirate. He was very, mournful, about being a pirate...almost ashamed. Now, that is a major shadow aspect. When you have a past life that you can look back on and your ashamed of there is work to be done. Not to mention, everyone knows that pirates who have a good heart are extremely popular- just look at Han Solo or Jack Sparrow. Most people don't like Luke or Will Turner because they are too good...they just aren't relateable (some people have the same issue with Jesus- he was just too perfect to relate to...he's been depicted so archetypically that he doesn't feel real to most people). The difference is as obvious as the Fool Tarot Card versus the Hermit Tarot Card who casts his light from the Mountain Top to guide wayward souls. The Hermit has seen some serious shit folks but he has grown from it to the point where he can guide others. I would befriend the Hermit way before I considered befriending the Fool. With Hermit I may learn something...with the Fool I'm more likely to find trouble. Third, when Peter was talking about having to use a manual microphone instead of the cordless little microphone so popular now, I joked that he had been both a Pirate and Lounge Singer. (In all honesty, I feel a little ashamed of myself as I nodded and talked a bit too much during the entire workshop. I feel as though I was being a bit rude and stealing his thunder but it was my intuition and I went with it...it was already super odd that I was there alone in the first place. He did thank me for 'guiding him' when I thanked him and gave him a hug before lunch. He gives good hugs which also put him up a few notches in my book). Well, he stopped and he admitted that he had been something simlar to a touring Mariachi in Calinfornia and had enjoyed the company of prostitues. I couldn't help but laugh. Again, he had said it as though he was ashamed. Granted, he is a spiritual individual who comes from the most sexually repressive religoius background....Catholocisim. The Catholic Church really screwed things up when they indireclty made sex a sin. Sex is a very necesary part of the human experience. I'm sure it had to do with sociological programming to safeguard their income from the potential of the entire congregation dying of a sexually transmitted disease. Anyways, I just laughed and replied that I ran brothels in the Middle East in a past life, these things happen. Fourth, he mentioned two themes in his paitients. I forget what the other one but one, for sure, was Shadow Work. By coinicidence the woman who was facilitating his individual readings over the course of the next few days, happened to be sitting next to me and I told, "He needs to write a book." Everyone has told Peter this forever and she nodded saying that she's been telling him this and I continued, "He needs to write a book on Shadow Work." She started to agree and then stopped saying, "Oohhhhh!" Apparently, that had never occurred to her or to him. I even thought abotu writing him a letter urging him to write a book on Shadow Work. That he needed to own his shadow...those past lives he was ashamed of...and find the spiritual Gold hidden within them. Past Lives books are a dime a dozen but a book on Shadow Work...well, now, that would help millions of people and his semi-christian audiance are among the ones who need to hear the message the most. My intuition told me not to message him. That on the Spiritual level I would reach out to him and he would get the message. Well, I don't known if that happened or not but you can hear him say in the video below where he was talking to a convention of Empaths, "It turns out I had to accept the shadow." He even talks about Shadow Work where he gestures indicating placeing something in his shadow and saying, "Not me..." That blew my mind. Check this out below because this is a very different interpertation of his past lives then what he shared in Los Angeles and I am so proud of him! My heart sung in joy when I watched this video.
Further more, my mind was blown last month when both Gillian (she runs the Lune Innate ASMR channel that I love) and Blanca on the Emerald Paradigm YouTube Channel talked about Shadow Work and what they felt it meant. To hear a term I coined, that I had never heard before and was uncertain of using because it could invoke a negative connotation in the Christian Groups, was beyond awesome.
Here is the Video:
Then I was reading the emails that Victor Odd sends out and he mentioned Shadow Work along with the statement that that's what all the 'cool kids' were calling it...I was beyond amazed. Then he shared another email with a link to his Website where he talked about the subject with his wife Pattie. Here is a link to the Podcast on Victors Website: https://awakeninghelp.com/shadow-work-what-it-is-how-we-do-it/ Conclusion Shadow Work is very timely right now. To think I used that term, and I was so uncertain of it last May and that it's take root now...it's amazing. You can watch the video below! Yes, it only has 23 official views on YouTube but somehow the idea is out there now and...it's becoming popular. Enough people listened to cause a shift in the collective consciousness. How freaking awesome is that? You can watch the video at the end of this blog. A lot of people don't want to own their shadow. They don't want to admit that they too are flawed. However, that's the only way forward because it's within those 'flawed' aspects of us that we can find our greatest strengths and the sweetest most rare Spiritual Fruits. Compassion and Forgiveness. The two harderst Fruits of the Spirit to gain on a Soul Level. Think of all of us as on a quest to collect certain Rings of Power or Infinity Stones (to borrow from two of my favorite fantasy franchises). Instead of objects, our souls are seeking the Fruits of the Spirit to prove that we have passed the Earth Test. Well, the hardest ones to gain are Compassion and Forgiveness. The only way to understand another person's plight- to not look down at them, to not judge them as inferior or as some sort of entertainment- is to pass through the darkness ourselves. That way, when we admit that we too have known the depths of despair, depravity, and hatred...we experience a deep sense of forgiveness and compassion for others. That way, when someone says in a hesitant voice that they were a Pirate in a past life...you can say, "Ha, awesome story! Those types of lives happen! All of us have ended up in the trenches or in the gutters at some point! Let me tell you about the time that I..." Of course, the difference is that in this life time we've learned what hasn't worked...and we use the times we stumbled to help others who are currently stumbling. Even better...when we do this we offer others...HOPE. So, my humble little YouTube Channel and this humble little blog has created a ripple effect that encourages me. I won't lie folks...I thought about giving up on all of this...of just fading to watch what would happen in the world. Yet, I am witnessing the most beautiful unfoldments and it's because of each and every one of you that stumble upon this blog. I love each of you so much that words can never capture the depth of my humble gratitude for all of the Brave Souls who take up the responsibility of the 7 Fold Path of the Seeker. We are making a difference and that....is truly beautiful.

I'm really excited to share this post with you and so I had to do a bonus blog!
Last Friday, January 11th 2019 Kevin Todeschi and Peter Woodbury decided to do a episode of Reflection's for the Edgar Cacye A.R.E. on dream interpertation. I follow Peter on Facebook. He's one of my favorite posters and I really suggest you add him as a friend. I've followed his progress at the A.R.E. for a few years now and look forward to him finally writing a book. That's something the other people kind of tease him about because they've all written books. I had already decided I was going to a Group Past Life Regression Session wtih an emphasis on Life In Between Lives in California in March that he's hosting. I was so excited because it's two bucket list items- go and see Peter in person and also to have a life in between lives session. There is a woman in Beverly Hills who does that and charges $1000 per session which I can't afford. Either way I decided to submit the dream about the cow that I had last June to be interperted. I was still curious how someone would interpet the cow. The funny thing is I totally forgot about the live broadcast on Friday because the day ended up a little chaotic and I was watching Lune Innate with her friend on the Emerald Paradgim channel Live. Yet, I had a dream on Sunday night about the video reminding me that I had submitted a dream...and then it popped up on YouTube that morning and I was so grateful I could get to see it! (I have no idea how to look up Facebook Live videos on Facebook. There user interface is complicated). I even shared the video on Facebook before I realized that Peter had brought up my dream for Kevin to interpet! Now, for those of you who follow this blog and read the dream interpertation ones...as well as what has happened since June this information helps enhance and shows that how Kevin interperted the dream was correct. 1. Ross does not believe in God or Spirit. (He is quick to add he doesn't disbelieve either). 2. Ross is also usually my Ego. 3. I became a Mother two months later. 4. I discovered that Ross had been mismanaging the finances and spending money in a selfish way so I had to seize control of the funds so I could manage them. I forgave him but it's altered our relationship on many levels. 5. I decided to write a book on the Seven Fold Path of the Seeker called the 7 Code which is in the editing stage of production. I'm hoping to self-publish it this year. With that said I hope you enjoyed the video above. I recommend all of the books Kevin talks about at the end. I have his book on dreams and I have the dream book by Elsie (which talks about Big Bear California of all things!). To have Kevin Todeschi validate my own interpertation of the dream was really meaningful. |
