No, you are not the Shadow
This text was written as a comment to one of FlexG’s recent videos, stating that the path to wholeness and the Heart is by integrating the Shadow in us. This concept, coming mainly from the Jungian psychology but adopted and circulated by many mainstream spiritual teachings, has been highly misconstrued and is not only erroneous but fundamentally dangerous, and here I tried my best to clarify this matter.
“Related to the Shadow.
No, we are NOT the Shadow. The Shadow is part of the Mind, the Mind is the parasite, the Devil, EL, IT – that which has taken over the Heart and surrounds our Heart (our True Self, the True Light) with a layer (curtain, veil) of darkness, separating us from that which we truly are.
The Mind is dualistic in nature, it has both a “good” side (the false good) and a bad side (the actual evil). It appears both as an angel, Lucifer – “the bringer of light” (the false light), and as a real demon, the Shadow, Shaitan, the Devil itself. So both sides of duality – the fake light and the actual darkness – are part of the Mind.
We are not the Mind, but the integral consciousness, the Heart, the eternal Soul – which is already whole and complete.
The duality of the Mind can never be resolved, the two can never become one! That’s because the Mind is purposefully created to act dualistically and it will forever do that, until it is completely dissolved! So both sides of the Mind have to be collapsed at once, similar to the twin towers falling together.
The Mind is a foreign entity, a foreign installation – as Carlos Castaneda put it. It does not belong or originate in us (the Heart). It is an impostor, constantly trying to masquerade and pretend to be us, so it can live side by side with us like a parasite, siphoning the life/essence of our heart which is what it’s actually after.
Thus it has worked to convince you (the Heart) that IT is you and you are IT! Constantly working to impersonate you, your natural qualities (intelligence, abilities, preferences, skills, personality, voice, etc), similar to what the AI is currently doing in the world. So that you identify with it and never want to truly dissolve it.
It is the “AI god”, a soul-less entity (soul-less = artificial) that constantly needs to steal the living essence of other souls so it can manifest and give life to its creations. (ie: see the Frankenstein story.)
It is the creator of all the world’s religions, philosophies, sciences, etc. It has carefully crafted and manipulated all the information that ever came to our eyes and ears. History, biology, geography, spirituality, religion, science, etc. Nothing has remained untainted. Even occult, esoteric or fringe information – all have been carefully controlled and manipulated by the same all-seeing force.
Nowadays it is using spirituality to make people think that in order to free yourself from IT – the Shadow, you have to merge/unite with it. What an absolute inversion!
And of course, the AI is just the externalisation of the Mind. So, similar to how the AI is trying to convince us to take the mark and merge with it, biologically, in the external world, the Shadow/Mind is trying to convince us to integrate and merge with in, psychologically, in the internal world. As within, so without.
This merge would ensure it a new start of the cycle, where it gets to reign over us and our world for yet another “round”, yet another “1000 years”, consuming both the Earth and the essence of our Heart even further. So this is why, at this moment, it is so desperately trying to convince us, both luring us with “gifts” and scaring us with famine… to merge with it once more.
Btw, look at how insidious is trying to tell us: “Don’t resist the Shadow, because it will only make it stronger.” What a cunning tactic of manipulation, making you lessen your defense or resistance towards Evil, allowing this Shadow to take over you.
So no, we do not become whole or find freedom or the Heart by integrating the Shadow in us! The Shadow is a foreign entity which has to be cast out of us and of the world! We work to disintegrate the Shadow by shedding Light onto it – our conscious attention, conscious awareness, which comes from our Heart. Thus the darkness is dispelled and more and more pieces of our True Self (our True Light) can be revealed and re-encountered once again. So we work to integrate and unite back with our Light, the lost parts of ourselves, not with the Shadow!”
