Finally!
I've had so many set backs when it comes to creating more videos. Sometimes blogs have been difficult because often times I'm not editing what I'm writing. I've been using an app on my cell phone to write the blogs and it's all very awkward. I am very much in a transitory phase in my life but doing so much better then I was...and I have so many blogs to write it's ridiculous. Since I've caught up on sleep and feel well rested now I will hopefully maintain a schedule. Believe me, without working which has regulated my life for a very long time having a schedule for this sharing this work is very helpful. I love every one of those who read these blogs and watch these videos. Even if you don't gain anything from these that you stepped onto my life journey with me for a moment is awesome. So thank you again! Transcript: Welcome Brave Soul and thank you for joining me as we continue to explore the Path of the Seeker. I've been away for awhile because not only am I taking care of my daughter, who is now nine months old, but I had a major piece of Shadow Work come up. I've been really amazed to hear Shadow Work referenced a lot recently. When I spoke about that topic last May it was in a very abstract way. Today, I hope to ground this idea by sharing with you my approach to the Shadow Work I've been doing since December. I'm going to take you on this journey with me. So strap in because this is going to be epic...which is a synonym for long, deep and drawn out by the way. You may need to watch this video a few times. Let's start off with some tools for doing this work. None of these are magical on their own. In Indigenous American tradition, however, minerals were created before man and therefore hold a more pure form of Divine energy. The point of using these tools is to focus your intention to do this psychological work. Tools can help ground these cosmic divine ideas down into material reality hoping you to focus your intentions and create a sacred space. These are the stones that came to me as I did this work. This big chunk here is Tourmaline. It absorbs negative thoughts and also provides a buffer of protection. This one is a chunk of raw Rose Quartz which promotes feeling of love which we will need while exploring our Shadow. Doing this work is the most loving act we can participate in because as we heal ourselves we heal the world. This is Kambaba Jasper. This is the warriors stone that provides protection when doing internal journey work. Then there is Chrysicolla which helps with transforming negative thought patterns. Finally, this is rutilated quartz. This helps to nullify negative thougths and patterns. Then there is a sandalwood incense cone. Sandalwood is used for inner journey work and it's by far one of my favorite incense. Shadow Work is part of the first stage of The Path of the Seeker. We're going to revisit and go further in depth with some of the information from previous videos. I will leave links to those previous videos in the description box if you need to review them. This Sandalwood incense cone represents the First Stage of Alchemy- Calcination. In Spiritual Alchemy the stone of consciousness is burned to ash to reduce it to it's most basic elements. Now, card Fifteen of the Major Arcana of the Tarot is the first marke on the Path of the Seeker. Typically it's called the Devil Card but a better name is Bondage. I've traced certain elements of the Paul Foster Case's version of the card here because I really wanted to focus on what these two people are bound to. Now, from our work on the Tarot we know that the Subconscious is the female in this image and the consciousness the male. They are both bound to this box. They can take off the chains at any time. That box is made of lead. Have you ever heard of thinking inside the box? If you know that team then you know it means a short sighted limited point of view usually dictated by arbitrary dualistic rules. This box contains the blue print for your life. This is the set of rules and beliefs that you use to create your reality. However, they have become so solid, dense and immutable you can't perceive these beliefs. Now, when it comes to chakra work this is the Root Chakra, the home of the inner child. Our Inner Child holds the blueprints to the life we create. In modern psychology it is believed that by the time a child is 8 years old they have a working model within the mind of the rules of this world. In the Tarot we won't see the inner child freed from this lead box of rules until the sixth step on the Path Of The Seeker. In the Kabbalah Tree of Life this lead box is Malkuth that refused to receive the Light because it was too soon. When we do Shadow Work we are slowly healing the Sephiroth of Malkuth and bringing that hiding inner child into the light. Is it any wonder Jesus said in Matthew 18:3, "You must change and become like little children to enter the kingdom of heaven." Shadow Work entails that we are going into this repressed part of ourselves to identify the rule, typically called a belief, that is causing us to create and repeat a dissatisfying reality. Our inner child has the keys to the car and we are not even aware they are the ones driving. To Walk the Path of the Seekers we take responsibility for the lives we've created. There are no victims. Our souls chose this life, knew the possibilities and knew that the possible soul growth that would result from our suffering was worth it. Being triggered is a gift because it illuminates the area if our thinking that we need to work on next. So thank the people who negatively trigger you because they are contributing to your spiritual growth. Shadow Work is the most accelerated and direct form of Soul Growth we can choose to undertake. I think it was D.W. Hauck but it might have been Paul Foster Case that stated your spiritual gold lies in the deepest darkest part of your shadow. The first thing I did once I realized what was happening was to cut off all distractions. I quit social media, stopped my research and stopped watching entertainment in all forms including my spiritual YouTube videos. I then sat with my emotions that were overwhelming at first. I have a natural inclination to repress my feelings which I wrote a blog about and you'll find a link to that in the description box below because chances are you repress your emotions too. The vast majority of humanity views emotions as a weakness. I realized, with some surprise, that it was rage that I was feeling. I normally have a lot of patience and an extraordinarily long fuse so this shocked me. Also, it explains why the feeling seemed so foreign and bizarre. This rage was blinding and disproportionate to the situation that triggered the event. My favorite way to examine my emotions is in a really hot bath with a journal nearby to record any progress I make. I usually have some bath salts. If I have the time incense and bringing in our little mineral friends, especially rose quartz, can be helpful in this process along with incense. This indulgence helps soothe our minds that try to escape dealing with these emotions. Another great place to do this work is in nature. Be it a park, a spot along a nature walk or a secluded spot. Just be safe and make sure you tell someone where you are going if you choose to go out into a remote part of nature. Sitting with and naming a emotion is a little like helping a flower to bloom. Prying the petals apart by force will damage and potentially destroy the floor. The best option is to have the right amount of loving sunlight, nourishing water and patience because it takes time for flowers to reach a maturity where they can bloom. Next, I searched for why I felt this rage. This too was work I mostly performed while meditating in a bath. The thought that came up was that the other person involved in the triggering event was ungrateful. With that thought my immediate thought was, "Uh oh " and I realized I was working on healing a belief that spanned multiple lives. In a past life where I was a single mother I died alone filled with rage at my daughter. I had made countless sacrifices for her inthat life, denying myself joy, and she was too busy taking care of her family to be with me as I died. I realized the key here was the word sacrifice. I looked at all of my relationships in this life- personal and at work- and what I knew about my previous lives...and I recognized the same pattern. Edgar Cacye said we only remember the Past Lives that hold the patterns I always sacrificed my needs, desires and wants for the other people and wound up resenting them. Worse yet, the other person often didn't realize I made those sacrifices, took them for granted and expected them. I realized I had discovered a very deep negative pattern. Next, I needed to identify the specific blue print, the idea, that was creating this pattern. I realized that I felt I had to sacrifice my joy, desires, wants and needs for those I love to be happy because resources are limited and there isn't enough to go around. That is a very old limited paradigm focused on an outer reality. I know and I have accepted on a deep spiritual level that my soul is an eternal and infinite being with access to an infinite amount of resources. Love has no limitations and it is infinite taking many forms. We always have access to this infinite resource. Edgar Cacye said that The Mind is the Builder and thoughts are things. Buddha stated that what a person thinks he becomes. Once you realize that love is the finest abstract building block of all creation, that it is an infinite resource you can rely on and that the quickest way to manifest or spiritually evolve is to hold a loving intention when you undertake any action..all obstacles are significantly reduced and will eventually dissolve as you practice and rewrite these old blue prints. Interestingly, the next stage in Alchemy is dissolution. What we thought was an insurmountable mountainous obstacle is removed. We will cover that in a future video. I realized that this particular blueprint of self-sacrifice and believing in lack probably came from the time I held a nun-like position in a church during the Crusades when there were major famines. Now, there are many tools that can be used to plant the seed of intention into the subconscious to release the blueprint, etheric attachment or vows. There are guided meditations, cord cutting Reiki, and you can use a mineral ceremony. I'll leave links to all three before...but again this is to plant that seed of intention on your subconscious and all of these are fun so your inner child will sit up and take notice. The Spiritual Gold I uncovered on my journey was that I want to be a healer...in whatever form that it manifests. Since I have made this conscious decision the sense of relief I have felt has been intense. I have had this desire for much of my life, but I didn't have access to the knowledge or tools. I felt the opportunity to do it the right intellectual way had already pass ed d me down, especially now that I am laying ththe foundations for a family so late in life compared to the majority or people. Also, this choice will be hard for the two most important men in my life- my husband and father- to accept. This revelation has been a new development. I need to write a blog on the subject to sort out my thoughts. Phew, we covered a lot of ground today. I hope you found this Shadow Work journey to be a valuable example and you can take away elements that you can easily apply in your life. Remember there is no wrong way. There are many Paths and Perspectives. You are perfectly created to find the right tools, healers and teachers for you. Always, use your discernment.
