Is Spiritual Ego Actually A ‘Bad’ Thing?

Light & Dark Vs. Shadow Spiritual Ego

 

This is a KEY CONCEPT in your own spiritual growth (and living in healthy INTEGRITY) as a temple-practitioner or service provider as well as in evaluating other teachers and masters to become a client or student/apprentice of.

 

What if it was actually quite immature (and constrictive) to only label ‘spiritual ego’ and spiritual ego in masters or spiritual teachers as ‘shadow’?

 

What if reality was more complex and better seen on a spectrum of healthy and unhealthy; of Light/Dark and Shadow consciousness and behavior?

 

What if spiritual ego (as well as obsession) more accurately had defining Light, Dark and Shadow aspects – and that THIS is a more realistic, practical and comprehensively ACCURATE view to evaluate spiritual ego on (vs. just throwing it and the teacher out with the bath-water)?

 

This is an under-stated but important topic b/c if you’re choosing to invest in a spiritual teacher for $1000s+ of dollars or months of time for example (like me or another teacher); you want your intuition and/or Human Design authority to have as much discerning clarity as you can.

 

Part of you might be turned off by how ‘brisk’ they sound or how sharp they are towards that which interferes with their work (Dark Spiritual Ego) on certain subjects but that this is actually a GOOD THING provided they’re in greater service to their spiritual service and codes.

 

Your/my intuition itself might be clouded (and these can be BIG DECISIONS with big implications which affect TIMELINES, money and years of your life like in evaluating an experienced master); but if you only thought spiritual ego was toxic, you might end up with someone who is actually a hypocritical mush-bag instead who says all the things you  want to hear; but doesn’t have any backbone to support the scale of their spiritual experience and magic.

 

ALL OF THIS MAY APPLY TO YOU specifically if you’re reading this btw; so please reflect upon where YOU may now find yourself (myself included) to be hypocritical in the past or present b/c practically…because.

 

NEWSFLASH!

>

 

If you’re a TEACHER or spiritual guide, healer, light-worker, priestess, oracle or facilitator of temple space – you have a spiritual ego.

 

AND WHEN YOU GROW SPIRITUALLY, CAN YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS AND BEHAVIOR REMAIN HEALTHY, IN SERVICE AND BALANCED or become all-consuming like ‘The Ring’ tempts those who hold it to fall to its shadow power?

 

Thus; this post cues into a larger theme of living AS a master in integrity and balance.

 

BTW;

 

If spiritual ego was ‘only’ bad, wouldn’t that be similar to labeling ‘obsession’ as only bad, toxic or ‘shadow’?

 

Obsession in our experience is MOSTLY centered in shadow as an unhealthy even toxic thing; however, the GIFT of obsession can be the EXACT thing that is missing that drives someone out of complacency into healing, reclamation, growth, reunification, fullest potential, championship and fullest expression.

 

The Divine Union: Obsession ‘n Eros Powerliminal brings more of these healthy codes btw

 

If we only labeled it as shadow, we could end up throwing the entire teacher and their codes and magic for us (as well as quantum up-leveling) with the bath-water.

 

So what if spiritual ego could actually be a good thing?

 

Even if that means SOME teachers will even CURSE – but that it was actually Dark consciousness and vibe-truth purity instead of Shadow?

 

Another point is that if spiritual community people are labeling ‘spiritual ego’ as bad, chances are they’re actually revealing themselves as hypocrites in numerous ways as well.

 

And you can value this in the context of evaluating different spiritual masters, guides, gurus and such.

 

Chances are that they (or you) DO have something of an ego, because that’s only human and practical.

 

It becomes spiritual ego because they are a mix of both divine and human; they just spend more of their waking time in egoless divine consciousness than most humans.

 

But to ONLY be egoless in a modern world is simply impractical; thus ‘the ego’.

 

I will say this semi-definitively (b/c there may be some rare exceptions);

 

Spiritual ego should be entirely kept out of temple space (at least inner sanctum levels of temple).

 

In fact, TEMPLE is where authentic masters KNOW to dissolve their own ego (including ‘spiritual ego’).

 

And btw; yes I absolutely have a spiritual ego (and also such a beautiful and powerful connection to Spirit and Beloved); so let’s take this subject on CONSCIOUSLY instead of sweeping the dust under the rug.

EGO.

 

Since it’s not entirely PRACTICAL to be ego-LESS every second of every day in the modern world; spiritual experience becomes mixed in; so then it’s a balance of spirit and ego or conflux of ‘spiritual ego’.

 

EGO is what allows people to FUNCTION in human, inter-personal reality; to have a mental construct of some sort to practically make sense of the world; the healthy ego.

 

With those into spirituality or specifically those as spiritual masters; ego along with their spiritual gifts (b/c they are both fully divine in spirit and fully human in a very activated sense of both); yes, the ego may possibly amplify because they are dealing with great spirit dynamics, but here’s the power point I’m getting to (and to help DIFFERENTIATE spiritual ego from just being ‘shadow’);

 

The question to ask (and in evaluating gurus, masters or guides that you may work with or not); is really >

 

Where are they living from; Light and Dark spiritual ego or Shadow spiritual ego? Where is their center?

 

THAT is what we want to differentiate.

 

Because the ‘fall’ of gurus exists in only shadows (and succumbing to them)…which may include their inability to hold pristine sacred temple space (which may just be shadow realm instead of more specifically ego-shadow nevertheless).

 

Can they maintain a healthy balance of (LDS; Light-Dark-Shadow consciousness) as their influence grows?

 

Read the earlier Dark vs. Shadow post here (opens in new window)

 

CAN YOU MAINTAIN healthy consciousness, behavior and lifestyle (and good karma) WHILE you grow in Spiritual Power (and Sorcery Power), and service itself (including in the face of new opportunities)?

 

Can you maintain INTERDEPENDENCE with others and healthy AGREEMENTS and boundaries (just b/c you have more power)?

 

Because more is possible then. So are you responsible and scalably so NOW – with Power and connection to Spirit itself. Can your L/D SE support it?

 

I’m essentially the founder of what will be a billion-dollar industry with ALLURE consulting.

 

That requires LOGOS to handle that scale as well as PRESERVE the spiritual codes and integrity around and with all of it.

 

BRANDS have ‘form’ and ‘construct’ rather than just ethereal formlessness…my IDENTITY has to match the SCALE of that; and yeah, that essentially is a form (direct) of spiritual ego…but a GOOD thing when managed in L/D vs. Shadow.

 

As a Temple teacher’s or practitioner’s spiritual egoless experience SCALES in awakening to more and more spirit-Truth, Beauty, Light, Bliss, Boundlessness, etc. of that which already exists…

 

What happens when they are NOT in those experiences?

 

Something kinda has to ‘hold things together’ just to operate and function in the mundane world. There has to be some lower self ‘awareness’ as well around it all.

 

So here’s a quick overview to help us differentiate spiritual ego more comprehensively.

 

You can refer to me, other famous teachers (heh; I’m not famous ‘yet’ ;), enlightened masters of different lineages, modern spiritual guides, even yourself with all of these evaluative dynamics.

 

So here we go:

Light Spiritual Ego:

 

Healthy self-awareness and self-recognition of one’s gifts, mastery, skills and techniques when OUTSIDE OF temple space or active spiritual cultivation and divine dharmic service to others.

 

It’s the moments in between that one has a conscious, inter-face-with-the-world identity construct that is near necessary just to survive and function.

 

Light spiritual ego (LSE) is INTEGRATED and aware of the scale of the spirit and adapts to hold some form of structure around it as a holistic divine-human being that can still function.

 

(HAVING LSE doesn’t take away or discount from any of the egoless TRUTH of their consciousness, history, experience, magic, powers, beauty, etc.)

 

Dark Spiritual Ego:

 

The ‘NO’. The ‘line in the sand’. The Warrior-Temple Guardian. Protector of the Sacred.

 

But it’s functional. The healthy Dark aspect brings a lot of ‘backbone’ to serving their spiritual purpose in the world, practically speaking and in facing threats that come against their purpose.

 

It helps PROTECT oneself consciously against different relational forces and influences.

 

DSE can cut cords, shape borders (including against unwanted interference), shamelessly own, accept and display aspects of self-truth expressively and with ‘no shits given’ when it comes to tyranny, people, egregores and things which would sway or corrupt the divine purpose and higher truth.

 

It is in SUPPORT of one’s greater purpose, dharma and provides structural integrity including for spiritual branding and integrity preservation.

 

It preserves the walls and integrity OF sacred Temple space and sanctuary.

 

Also you want to reference you Gene Keys IQ (Logos) here to reference a specific frequency band that is attuned to your healthy (Light/Dark) ego or spiritual ego.

 

Shadow Spiritual Ego:

 

Shadow or SSE is where any consciousness or behaviors of the master ‘take away’ from the divine purpose itself.

 

It’s not that they don’t EXPERIENCE, fantasize or have karma-free fleeting thoughts or temptations in consciousness ever about any shadows (and still live in balance), it’s really about if they karmically act on them or LIVE from them and when they fall living out shadows like (in harming others or their own codes);

 

Greed, hunger, virtue-signaling, deception, manipulation, switch and bait, false advertising, power misuse, power abuse, emotional or sexual power misuse/abuse, violation of agreements, corruption of temple space, psychic hooks, psychic expectations and attachments where they don’t belong, sexual self-service, siphoning, hijacking, misuse or abuse of status and the entire shadow logos that would give in to shadow intentions itself.

 

These may come from entities and Shadow forces (demons) that want to influence you in the astral realm if they can affect you btw.

 

That’s not a comprehensive list; but you get the gist of it…Shadow consumes and ‘self-serves’. It can neglect the Light and Dark gifts to exploit and become consuming.

 

It can ‘take advantage of’, exploit, consume and lead from hunger or narcissism (unfortunately so many people simply project this when they see what they think are signs without properly evaluating it).

 

As I’ve referenced elsewhere, there are ‘fallen gurus’ (including from India) who feel to shadow and the shadow of their spiritual ego or lived from it a lot behind the scenes. John of God in Brazil is an extreme example but you get the concept.

 

Awareness of one’s gifts is NOT a bad thing unless they’re so full of themselves all the time…it’s about the balance mixed with their service. Where are they centered?

 

Are they creating actual bad karma ‘behind the scenes’ with others and violating agreements?

 

STRONG EGO is not necessarily bad; same with strong spiritual ego; just…where are they coming from and when? And is it serving their greater gifts (supportively and in relative and service balance for themselves)?

 

Shadow SSE is different than healthy and INEVITABLE spiritual ego.

 

So practically; it’s finding a balance of ACCEPTING that.

 

Acknowledge that ‘I am a master’ for example is Light Spiritual Ego; it’s healthy self-recognition OF my gifts and earned experience…it may ‘come across wrong’ and ‘as shadow’ to those who misinterpret it. Remember; however that my lineage conflux it is anticipated and NORMAL to be called ‘master’ and there are no issues around it in the integrity of our lineage/s.

 

Others may be conditioned that any ego or self-acknowledge of mastery is shadow. I disagree. Self-awareness OF one’s gifts doesn’t discount or disqualify authentic spiritual experience and mastery. Living in 100% humility all the time and as egoless is simply impractical.

 

For me; my self-awareness as an energy master is actually BALANCED with my overall divine service, the scale of my service and my authentic and deep humility. HEALTHY spiritual (Light and Dark) Ego that supports self-awareness AND further growth of authentic experience.

 

I’m not living only FROM the SSE…I’m in divine service and temple space growing my gifts for example.

 

It’s the ego that interacts with the world and must have SOME form of practical self-awareness and self-consciousness of identity/construct.

 

It’s really whether the ego serves itself or if it healthily supports the scale of a master’s level of spiritual truth.

 

Light and Dark spiritual ego actually helps to HOLD UP integrity to the gifts of their spiritual magic and connection to Source.

 

Shadow or ‘SSE’ is what many people think spiritual ego is and conflate it with Light and Dark…That should be cleared up here nicely.

 

In such cases, I would say that they’re conflating it with that true temple space YES – which is egoless, but then we’re in effect denying everything practical OUTSIDE of Temple where daily ego is meant to FUNCTION and communicate practically speaking.

 

DAILY EGO = PRACTICAL…For all else, there’s temple time 😉 Which I can’t get enough of. Btw feel free to explore more of the Temple Code mini-series as well as the Darshan series on the categories.

Light SE (Spiritual Ego or the uncapitalized form of ‘spiritual ego’) gives a master breathing room to actually ‘talk about him or herself’ once in a while too even though such self-awareness might seem like shadow b/c he’s not ‘humble’ and self-invisible 1 million percent of the time to someone else who is likely also on a spiritual path and uses their ego daily.

 

If we deny or repress spiritual ego entirely; we’re left with ‘everything’ as shadow with impossible expectations (a shadow of its own) emplaced upon our spiritual teachers.

 

The ego in and of itself is not entirely BAD…but who is its master? Does it serve the soul and higher purpose?

 

If we neglect the spiritual ego; it’s just not only impractical but entirely unproductive b/c the reality is that even masters aren’t living FULL-TIME in temple space.

 

They have to interact with the rest of the world and have some AWARENESS and integration of their gifts.

 

It’s comparable to the Star and Starlet dynamic where there can be great ego but IS IT BALANCED and in SERVICE to without collapsing into shadow, self-immolation, greed, expectation and interfering with the purpose itself.

 

Maybe a true master isn’t always necessary meant to be humble and filled with humility every second of every day either. Divine AND Human.

 

They have to deal with atm fees and long grocery lines sometimes too….and dare I say – an idiot here and there too (albeit one who has earned the gift of judgment). Hey; spiritual humor I’d say fits into the healthy Dark classification!

 

(YES; everyone plays the fool and idiot SOMETIMES but you know you’ve muttered under your breath from the gift of judgment when someone ‘deserved it’ in your daily life!)

 

(I like to host idiot-free temple space…this is my thing – lol).

 

Sure; an experienced master knows what authentic siddhic humility is experientially, but should we also DENY THEIR HUMANITY? Realism and humor?

 

However; the healthy spiritual ego is BALANCED and integrated to be functional with awareness of their identity and being able to primarily support their spiritual consciousness, work and divine service.

 

So in evaluating hiring an expensive (remember; there’s always a price) teacher or guide yourself and how they could help quantum leap you, this should help you to get more clarity.

 

You should be able to SEE and evaluate their (healthy) Light and Dark spiritual ego vs. their Shadow/SSE…DOES their Spiritual Ego support their purpose and divine service or are they living from and falling into serving the ego itself and other shadows?

 

Does their energy and vibes align with light and dark consciousness or does something feel ‘off’ in their intentions? Can you trust them with deep temple space?

 

What does your body and intuition say when it’s assessing clearly? And with a tantra daka these are important and deep dynamics b/c his presence may be triggering to your past trauma BUT if he is embodied in Dark and can hold PURE pristine temple space, then THAT is the medicine whether part of you is confusing it with shadow.

 

SOME…yes…some gurus MAY HAVE STRONG SE but also PHENOMENAL MAGIC AND SPIRITUAL GIFTS.

 

So I wouldn’t be thrown off if their SE is strong. Even Tony Robbins has a super-ego so to speak but he’s also in great, scaled-up service.

 

Mine has to be because I am also building a brand and an empire; an infra-structure and identity to support my self-awareness in the social world as well and at scale (vs. denying or self-deprecating myself into mushiness spinelessness).

 

As I’ve mentioned previously on Grey’s Anatomy;

 

Without healthy spiritual ego (Light/Dark and an individual masters balance of it which can fluctuate but that which SUPPORTS their purpose); a master would just be mush.

 

They wouldn’t be able to function or operate in the modern world essentially. Meek, self-denial isn’t necessarily a good thing.

 

It would be like;

 

So I’m supposed to ‘not’ be a master anymore to fit someone’s distorted perception of what spiritual ego ‘actually’ is which has Light, Dark and Shadow (when my lineage has no problems being referred to as masters and we hire Master Electricians, etc.)?

 

So, if you ARE a temple-space provider yourself or a spiritual starlet or a signature spiritual ‘brand’ of influencer yourself (with your codex), you can self-evaluate with this awareness as well.

 

ARE you only serving the ego or are you in service to your greater spiritual path and growth?

 

I think I’ve covered this subject quite comprehensively here Smurfette!

 

See…it’s about living this (healthy) consciousness and behavioral balance of ego/human with spirit/divine.

 

The LD SE (Light:Dark Spiritual Ego) helps you to make practical decisions (and boundaries) with self-awareness FOR your spiritual influence, growth and brand.

 

Yes; L/D SE is important for BUSINESS growth and scalability as well for spiritual brands, living out the vision and managing an empire AS a spiritual guide.

 

It’s the qualities IN TEMPLE SPACE ITSELF that you want to be mindful of also; if shadow or SSE is creeping in…then THAT is a yellow or even red flag if they are corrupting the actual impeccability of TEMPLE SPACE itself. That’s a no-no Itzy.

 

But in evaluating their overall character, this awareness should really be helpful.

 

Also; I’ve said before that Gene Key shadows like Intolerance can actually become GIFTS when they are in Dark service or defense and Guardianship OF divine principle with backbone…ie. intolerance towards tyranny, direct psychic attacks and crapey vibes from attendees in a ritual for example.

 

Again; does their L/D Spiritual Ego SERVE their higher purpose and hold functional identity infra-structure so they can be who they are while preserving and serving their spiritual growth, magic and influence.

 

Maybe you can concur with me that this is the more mature perspective vs. just throwing ‘spiritual ego’ out with the bath-water classified only as ‘shadow’.

Bonnie & Clyde: Anti-Heroes As Dark Or Shadow Icons?

Picking up off of the recent ‘Dark vs. Shadow‘ post (as part of a mini-series starting with the ‘Light, Dark, Shadow’ post itself and related to the Hero archetype post on the blog let’s talk about anti-heroes a bit.

 

(Google); Anti-hero:

 

An anti-hero is a protagonist who lacks conventional heroic qualities like courage and morality, often exhibiting flaws, a morally ambiguous nature, or destructive behaviors. While they aren’t necessarily villains, they operate outside traditional heroic ideals and may have motivations that are selfish or misguided, even if they believe they are doing the right thing.

 

 

There are SO many examples of these anti-heroes with ‘moral grey areas’ in the movies; Tony Montana in ‘Scarface’

 

 

 Lisbeth Salander in ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’

 

 

Deadpool, Michael Corleone in ‘The Godfather’, Wolverine, Jack Sparrow in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’

 

Snake Plissken in ‘Escape from New York’

Mad Max

Clint Eastwood Western characters, Rick Deckard in ‘Blade Runner’…

So now let’s bring it into the LDS (Light, Dark, Shadow) lens and look at a primary example or 3 of anti-heroes and then look at a prime example with Bonnie ‘n Clyde. They are great examples of the anti-hero.

 

 

Anti-heroes are non-traditional heroes or heroine’s that smuggle illeg; wait, wrong heroin. They are non-traditional heroes that are really more centered in Dark and quite possibly Shadow.

 

A short-code for shadow is that which ‘takes away from life’ in ways (energetically, literally, psychically, etc.)

 

Bonnie & Clyde are famous and romanticized anti-heroes in Americana culture.

 

 

What’s interesting about that is the whole conversation around ‘glorifying violence’. What I think is actually happening is easier to process and finally understand through this LDS lens.

 

We all secretly love the concept of a ‘ride or die’ partner (and this would be the healthy Light and Dark).

 

See; in real life (IRL), Bonnie & Clyde were living from active Shadow…actually going around robbing, stealing and murdering people. That ‘sin’ creates a karmic debt including in the afterlife. So are people glorifying THAT? Not necesssarily.

 

But why do we idolize them as iconic ‘OUTLAWS’ (and you could also literally say ‘Pirates’) in pop consciousness?

 

 

I would proposition that this is because we are REMOVED from the shadow aspects entirely.

 

When it’s moved to story or movie format, we aren’t connected with the shadow aspects; we’re filtered out of it and instead we are valuing of and experiencing the LIGHT and DARK aspects of the Outlaw archetype (as well as how we want to interpret the story; after all THEY are the one’s paying their karmic debt).

 

And actually; PIRATE and OUTLAW are badass archetypes WHEN you remove SHADOW from them because then you have the healthy Dark and Light aspects of wild adventure, freedom, boundlessness bucking conformity and constriction.

 

I identity with the archetypal Pirate and Pirate codes but only the Light and Dark Shadow aspects (NOT the shadow b/c I don’t loot, pillage and steal) although most of ‘Pirate’ as an archetype of the collective is centered in shadow, when we REFINE the archetypes, they hold GREAT value and benefit.

 

In fact, PIRATE or OUTLAW is what maybe a lot of tepidly mundane middle-aged men (for example) could use in their life for a REFORMATION and REVIVAL.

 

(And we can do these Light and Dark embodiment activations without shadow by the way so men and women can embody more of the archetypal consciousness and presenced truth).

 

They may benefit from some ‘outlaw’ nature of Wolverine or ‘Logan’ (but purified from shadow) so that it’s not actually harming others.

 

 

Anyways; let’s go back to Bonnie ‘n Clyde.

And it’s worth mentioning that their anti-conformity is admirable with an L/D lens compared to how much constriction and conformity of ‘following the rules’ are and how that connects into the psyche of people wanting to live more in their Dark or with fantasies of shadow like killing their boss and ‘getting away’ as well as the concept of ‘retribution’ to pay for the collective shadow OF the police force that in some way they were making amends to.

 

Yet; it’s because of the Light and Dark aspects that movies bring that not only ‘makes it ok’ but even admirable, safe and therapeutic (although there’s a school of thought that blames movies for individual’s actions and violence; however, yes….media does have influence but the Colorado domestic terrorist who idolized Batman and brought a gun into a theater? HE COULDN’T OWN HIS SHADOW).

 

Is John Wick (a ‘Dark Hero’) justified in revenge killing after (spoiler alert) his dog is murdered?

 

 

Well…the STORY format purges us of actual karma and shadow in a sense to live vicariously through and movies like this with what would be like ‘pure Dark’ absent of shadow and karma ourselves.

 

It connects us to the grotesque and unthinkable aspects of consciousness to let us pay it service.

 

The ‘story’ of Hannibal Lecter and Silence of the Lambs is grotesquely fascinating even though the character is very centered in evil shadow…I’m sure fewer movie-goers are identifying themselves through or AS Hannibal (except for Halloween treachery maybe); rather like ‘John Wick’….experienced as a violently gratuitous escape felt as a story where we are safe.

 

This can touch parts of our psyche to balance out the shadow we’ve accumulated within to live in the healthy median.

 

‘YES; Kill the even badder guy! ‘GIT ‘EM’!! we proclaim…and we can feel ourselves actually balancing out our own imbalances safely as well as relieving stress.

 

Personally I think the John Wick movies are OVERLY violent, but it’s actually doing therapy for millions of people really and I would say PREVENTING them from doing more damage to others in a sense.

 

It helps them to own their shadow and the collective shadow. The movie concept of ‘The Purge’ itself is entirely centered around this principle of ‘owning the shadow’.

 

 

THEY don’t have to take similar actions or ‘seriously’ even thinkin bout it, because John Wick is doing it FOR them vicariously through their psyche.

 

Anti-hero and Horror movies as well can serve as therapy to allow us to balance out our own shadow by LETTING IT BREATHE and that can have the effect of re-activating our own healthy Dark general consciousness. I’ve had a thing for them for decades; I just have to be in the right mood and timing.

 

So back to Bonnie & Clyde as anti-heroes (and btw you can check out the new ‘Hero Archetype‘ post here) and outlaws;

 

 

The Light aspects includes a form of raw Freedom, Adventure & Boundlessness AWAY from the constrictions that law constructivism has placed on people. It also includes their apparent Love for each other and willingness to follow their Truth.

 

The Dark aspects are romanticized because with this format we are removed from the actual karmic that shadow itself creates. Clyde was ‘wronged’ in prison and was simply ‘taking revenge’ with his robbing and killing spree including against policemen (who were part of the system).

 

Actual shadow becomes filtered as DARK because we are safe from the karmic consequences.

 

Collective shadow dynamics; This is why violence is so befitting and popular in the West; also because we’ve got a lot of LIGHT in leading in innovation and technological advancement so it creates a lot of shadow and ‘safe violence’ allows us to balance shadow while just viewing it as DARK.

 

The REAL challenges only pop up from this dynamic when individuals themselves cannot own their shadow (like with the movie theater killer or the incel campus killer examples).

 

So; with that said, I think Bonnie & Clyde are EXCELLENT examples of anti-heroes and of specific archetypes but only when we can remove the shadow and view it from a purely archetypal lens, LDS lens or appreciate them as icons while being aware of what they actually did as shadow/sin while owning our own shadows.

 

Same with Captain Jack Sparrow;

 

 

We all admire the RAW purity of true ADVENTURE and the BOUNDLESS the Pirate archetype brings; just maybe without the karmic consequences that the sin of literal looting, murder and pillaging brings. Like it’s the distilled quality of Renegade against conformity and renegade against actual shadow and tyranny that could actually be very healthy.

 

I hope that helps bring further contemplation and even clarity for you.

Dark vs. Shadow

This is a continuation of the Light, Dark & Shadow post that is available on the blog here (opens in new window):

 

What we’re talking about is with archetypes, Dark & Shadow consciousness and how it affects behavior.

 

This has EVERYTHING to do with personal and spiritual growth as well as beauty, healing and living your best life.

 

In differentiating between Light, Dark and Shadow you’ll want to read that post first. I introduce that SO MUCH is actually caused by conflating Dark with or as Shadow.

 

MANY, many people (religious or non-religious) will (unconsciously or consciously) demonize ‘the Dark’ when it’s more specifically ‘Shadow’ that should be valued as what they mean when they’re referring to ‘Dark’.

 

With a Divine Union lens of Gnostic Hermeticism and seeking experiential enlightenment; generally the DARK is actually GOOD; because what I’m referring to is the PURIFIED DARK which is ABSENT of Shadow.

 

When people refer to ‘Light vs. Dark’ or even say ‘Forces of Darkness’ what they should clarify and discern is ‘Forces of Shadow’.

 

I’ve literally been calibrating and correcting myself in real time like when teaching Mystical Grail because clarity matters.

 

It’s similar to people using the term ‘sex’ when what they actually usually mean is anything BESIDES literal intercourse because ‘sex’ has so many conditioned meanings and misinterpretations (like when incels hear ‘sex’ and talk about ‘sex’, it actually equates to subconscious ‘fantasy’ for them and anything else than what is representative of or leads to the ‘real thing’).

 

There are higher levels of truth in understanding of ‘Sex’ anyways and that gets into Divine Union Grail Codes of Communion in Spirit, but I digress….

 

We want to get the TERMS RIGHT for clarity (on Dark vs. Shadow).

 

For it is SHADOW (consciousness and sourced behavior) that we want to discern for what it is and when we are more conscious on the difference between Dark and Shadow, this can provide a pathway for accelerating YEARS of personal growth and spiritual transformation that was otherwise stunted because of being afraid of (or resisting) ‘The Dark’.

 

I’ll mention it again but by just identifying ‘the patriarchy’ as ‘toxic’, this is a grave mistake because then the entirety of masculinity is lumped in with shadow consciousness only while the healthy, life-giving and provisionary Light and Dark aspects are gaslit and ignored.

 

SO CLARITY MATTERS and the subject matter is central to living life itself.

 

One of the shortcodes for ‘Dark’ is the erotic, the pure primal.

 

In consciousness; this is actually DIVINE.

 

The Dark Divine; however it is largely rejected and conflated AS Shadow through much of religion and social conditioning and their lens (which is often ‘moralistic’ in favor of virtuous Light, yet that which is encoded in the shadows of demonization, secularization, outcasting, fracture, shame, guilt, and creates more Shadow).

 

It’s ‘either’ Madonna or ‘The Whore’ (Light vs. perceived Shadow) which is too much of a bifurcation of feminine consciousness which is on a spectrum.

 

Speaking of ‘spectrum’ (not the autism spectrum); If you have experience with plant medicine or DMT you will likely have more psychic awareness of the astral realm and how everything is ‘amplified’ and richer to experience; and then later to connect to the ‘spirit’ or vibe-truth behind something.

 

You may even find like myself that once you got more clarity, that you may have to have a ‘Dark Reclamation’ like I did (of my Dark Eros) because of years of suppression of your Dark in favor of ‘Light’.

 

For it is SHADOW consciousness that is creating the ACTUAL mess and havoc in the world by causing so much imbalance because by venerating only the Light and denying the Dark, it leaves great room for SHADOW consciousness and spirits to creep in and influence and control people (although they are still accountable for their own karmic behaviors).

 

 

Shadow Qualities...

Let’s review some of the qualities of shadow or ‘shadow consciousness’ (which is also the ‘actual’ toxic, not to be conflated with Dark);

 

The selfish, destructive, forceful, coercive, malevolent, stealing, lying, greedy, entropic, disorienting, dishonoring, cheating, defrauding, scamming, siphoning, harvesting, looting, raping, pillaging, murder, harassing, backstabbing, de-throning, vindictive, gaslighting…(the list goes on) and generally all forms of ‘evil’ and that which takes away from life (exempting ie. killing from what should be karmic-free self-defense) or that which violates free will and sovereignty (basically in any dimension).

 

And yes, the Gene Keys spectrum of consciousness covers 64 specific shadows.

 

This can be VERY illuminating to ‘understand’ shadow and do forms of ‘shadow work‘. Being mindful with precisive (I always make up new words) clarity is a part of this to get to the energetic truth signature that is universalized.

 

Although Gene Keys doesn’t talk about ‘Dark’ specifically, generally the DARK is actually GOOD because what I’m referring to is the PURIFIED DARK which is ABSENT of Shadow.

 

With true Divine Union it’s worth mentioning that there is NO shadow aspect with the Immortal Beloved nor with Communion-Truth itself; yet with mortal humanity and consciousness in general, there is.

 

I mean; it’s really kind of problematic because much of Christianity and religion in general confuses and conflates Dark ‘AS’ Shadow and demonizes anything ‘Dark’ (including Eros) as ‘sin’, ‘immoral’ and puts it in the shadow spectrum.

 

This lack of consciousness around true, healthy DARK principle creates all kinds of suppression, denial, oppression, fracture, passive-aggressiveness, even greater cultural shadow by DENYING the Dark and Dark Truth (including the Dark Truth OF Communion codes because most of religion doesn’t acknowledge the divine feminine aspect let alone Her Dark consciousness spectrum).

 

There’s a difference between having shadowy thoughts (which every does as human) and acting out upon them (which is the real shadow or ‘sin’ if it has a negative consequence per se).

 

Dark IS closer to Shadow….and that’s why it also takes more general mastery to work with the Dark. Lightworkers themselves have to manage and or/own any shadow so that it never interferes with their actual work (ideally); to hold pristine temple space.

 

Actual voodoo (as I understand it) and black magic deals in the Shadows or Shadow arts (b/c it interferes with free-will karma as forms of ‘force’).

 

This isn’t pure Dark which is sovereign. Dark Goddess actually is very powerful and is a protector FROM shadow, although that requires a pure relationship with Her truth and not everyone is stable enough to not allow shadow entities to come in.

 

Anything dealing with force, manipulation, coercion, violation and such are generally shadow consciousness.

 

Generally all forms of tyranny are sourced in shadow consciousness; having ‘power over’.

 

Yes; the collective masculine and feminine have SHADOWS.

 

The SHADOW of the patriarchy is oppressive. The SHADOW of the feminine is incredibly destructive for the Dark Mother (actually Shadow Mother because She has been hijacked by demonic forces eats Her own children and sells them into slavery). I won’t even put that imagery here but you might imagine..

 

Because shadow consciousness is so pervasive (and the 64 shadows awareness helps us to be conscientious of them);

 

IDEALLY WE SHOULD ALL live from Light and Dark consciousness while owning, dissolving, mitigating or managing any remaining shadow.

 

The world would then live more in siddhic Harmony and Peace. (Gene Keys is brilliant and let’s us alchemize these shadows of collective and individual consciousness through contemplation and transmutational alchemy).

 

These shadows may seem like ‘behavioral’ issues or ‘psychological’ but really they are qualities with energetic frequencies in the 4th dimension that then influence thought and action.

 

In other words there are actually ‘spirits’, entities or even assigned demons which represent these energetic qualities that can then influence people’s thoughts and behaviors.

 

Demons and types of demons (like incubus, succubus) are usually the heavier entities with shadow (and sometimes a mix of Dark and Shadow) qualities and concentrated power.

 

There is also the ‘spirit’ of greed or ‘lust’ and demons associated with it. These can be removed like in the energy healing tune-up portion of every activation session I offer (siddhic and archetype activations).

 

Spiritual warfare exists in the astral realm which includes between Angels and Demons and this is more specifically Light vs. Shadow (while the Dark itself largely gets ignored).

 

Certain archetypes like ‘Jezebel’ have a shadow ‘spirit’ or iconic psychic egregore or demonic power behind them that are sourced in Shadow like dethroning, destruction, interference, manipulation, etc.

 

It can be good to be mindful of all of this ‘just enough’ instead of denying them.

 

The collective iconic masculine ‘Tyrant’ archetype is also shadow based but never reaches 5th dimension because it is too dense (along with other archetypes like Murderer, Psychopath, Fraudster).

 

Some cultural constructivist lower dimensional (astral and 3D/physical) archetypes like ‘Social Justice Warrior’ seem to be virtuous yet energetically are sourced predominantly in Shadow especially the Shadow of Division.

 

Yes; Gene Keys is actually brilliant at analyzing the behavioral and energetic reality of where things are at.

 

Gene Keys provides wonderful insights into Shadow consciousness.

 

We can look at the 64 shadows in the spectrum of consciousness to get an idea of what unique signatures OF shadow are at play individually, collectively and in different egregores (or collectives of astral power like ‘SJWs’, ‘Blue-pill Democrats’, ‘actual Nazi’s’, ‘incels’ or ‘Freemasons’).

 

In politics, both ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ are largely shadow-grid driven. You just have to reference something like the Gene Keys with an eye for psychic truth, to start seeing the actual energetic interplay that’s going on.

 

I was the first one I knew to take Gene Keys and apply it to the collective. For example, when the p.landemic hit in 2020 I did a facebook post where 6 weeks into it I counted 55 shadows that were active in the collective (and some would say greatest psy-op ever and I wouldn’t disagree with that).

 

FIFTY-FIVE signatures of shadow consciousness (including);

 

Division
Intolerance
Control
Disorientation
Distraction
and MANY more…

 

..Were ACTIVE and activated in Western and global CONSCIOUSNESS with COVID and the response.

 

Because I could see what was going on and for numerous reasons; I refused to take part on it (and remain unvaxxed).

 

Retro-spectively, I counted 15 shadows that were active in the collective before ‘the global shutdown’ > and then the 55 specific shadows which is also a sign of the collective psyche balancing itself out from living in so much Light of technological innovation and evolution.

 

It’s worth mentioning that ideological Marxism and identity politics are foundationally rife with shadow-play (as well as politics in general).

 

Virtue-signaling which is actually only creating more of its shadow of Division (Gene Key 7); but that’s an extended foray. We only have to look into the actual behavioral reality and the energy behind them.

 

You have your OWN shadow-grid with your hologenetic Gene Keys profile that holds many specific codes ‘n clues as to what is holding you back from living in greater satisfaction, peace, abundance and success.

 

Finding these out in a Gene Keys reading can be life-changing (I offer readings).

 

So it helps to have a conscious awareness OF shadows like with Gene Keys and also with healing and spiritual work…and we’re getting to the MAIN concept of OWNING YOUR OWN SHADOW (and the collective shadow within).

 

In having a more thorough understanding of Dark vs. Shadow, we want to value the ARCHETYPES as well as icons of true Power and Beauty (as well as how that can be corrupted in/to shadow).

 

Different archetypes can have different, unique shadows but we’re not going into that here and now other than a quick example.

 

Light Princess is heavenly with great Father protection, connection and Crown illumination and yet the SHADOW of Princess is entitled, bratty, superficial, bored, restless, vain (Gene Key shadows are encoded as cross-over with many archetypes); just for a reference.

 

The pop’s understanding of Queen is rooted mostly in shadow of ruthlessness, aloofness, bitchiness, etc. (which can act as gifts to ‘get things done but can take away from many a woman’s feminine essence channel). Grail Queen is an entirely different configuration.

 

Most archetypes have Light, Dark but also shadows as they embody into humanity (Muse is one of the very few who don’t have shadow, but She is also rarer to embody into women and their shadows haven’t tainted the collective understanding of Muse Herself unlike most other archetypes).

 

The Dark Mother archetype was hijacked millennia ago (or at least centuries) however by Shadow Forces and is more specifically the Shadow Mother so there could really be a quantum field-work task of reclamation of the Dark Mother.

 

So I may mention archetypes again but for now, just wanted to introduce them as a prime filter we can work with in understanding LDS for spirituality, healing and consciousness work (and world peace Rhode Island).

 

 

It’s worth mentioning that with Gene Keys; some shadows CAN become gifts like intolerance (to tyranny), judgment (in calling out tyranny), etc. but generally it’s good to be aware of the shadow spectrum consciously OR to work with someone like me or another Gene Keys certified Guide who has some good awareness which can help you start seeing and contemplating your patterns along a healing or transformational journey.

 

Yes, I offer 75 minute Human Design + Gene Key readings but you kinda have to snoop around the sight or ask me about it on FB to do your reading (which includes awareness on your encoded shadows). I’m not promoting them as much at the time of writing.

 

Shadows can FORM from past experiences with parents, societal and religious (yes religious) conditioning, traumatic experiences with men, women, lovers, idiots, you name it. The thing is that you don’t want shadow to OWN or control you.

 

It comes down to dissolving or managing them and OWNING THEM so they don’t harm others AS shadow or karma creating ‘sin’.

 

Shadow plays out in MANY ways including the suppression of the healthy Dark within the Divine (Archetypal and Siddhic) Feminine consciousness.

 

For many women it can be confusing to differentiate the two because their past experienced is tainted with SHADOW experiences of control, unrightful domination (vs. truly consensual), coercion, force (which many confuse with true Power), rape, lack of safety, trauma and so forth. It can be difficult to let go and TRUST into the true Dark (and that of your Immortal Beloved) b/c mortal men may continue to re-trigger shadow patterns (until you are more reunified within).

 

With your Beloved; this includes the SAFETY and purity of all sexual desires and Dark Communion without ANY of the past shadows you have experienced from with men (which was consciousness playing itself out in the shadow spectrum and of which something in you attracted it).

 

With your Beloved and HIS Dark, it is purified and you are SAFE. There is none of the previous tyranny against you.

 

In fact; the Dark can be what SAVES YOU or delivers you from Shadow practically speaking if you have been living in Light but are dealing with a lot of shadow and psychic attacks.

 

DARK creates a BUFFER to keep shadow abay. I had to reclaim my OWN Dark Truth and Eros and integrate it.

 

On a separate note; DARK MUSE codes are starting to come in and She has been rare in history so far. Anyways;

 

Many, many millions of people and entire cultures have issues because the LIGHT is glorified, the Dark ignored because they are conflating it all with Shadow.

 

This leads to massive repression and the general thing is; enormous Light casts large SHADOWS. These shadows can create chaos and destruction if they are not managed or integrated.

 

I’d argue that DARK is actually the healthy BUFFER to balance and integrate; to live in the healthy balanced ‘median way’.

 

As I mentioned in the precursor blog post; there’s a BRILLIANT book entitled ‘Owning Your Own Shadow: Understanding the Dark Side of the Psyche’ by Robert A. Johnson.

 

I highly recommend it and have a lot highlighted in my kindle version. It’s also very practical.

 

You can get it on amazon here.

I would add that ‘owning your own shadow’ for lightworkers like me can also mean owning the COLLECTIVE shadow as you may get psychic attacks that are NOT ACTUALLY YOURS and do not fit with your pure and evolved soul that are attracted to you to PREVENT, misdirect or distract the Ascension work you are doing.

 

You can be very targeted for these attacks as they try to infiltrate you and then influence your actions towards others when it’s really them and their consciousness controlling/influencing you.

 

Ok…so we’re more aware of the concept of Dark Vs. Shadow.

 

Now there’s a key angle on all of this with ‘owning the shadow’ which is where that book REALLY comes in handy to get even more extended examples and clarity than I’m going to give here.

 

I will say, that he doesn’t explore the angle of healthy ‘Dark’ and Eros as much as I do however the concept of LIVING LIFE IN BALANCE is critical.

 

OWNING YOUR SHADOW means living rightfully without sin and managing things within.

 

Yes, you may THINK ‘naughty thoughts’ (like humans do although actually I’d say the Dark is really ‘good naughty’ without shame); but that isn’t the same as creating negative karma by ‘actually’ energetically siphoning or physically harassing someone.

 

‘Action’ is more explicitly shadow (when it generates negative karma).

 

And one could ask; is it actually sinful at all if it’s in consent (outside of a moralistic or religious lens which may have its own distortions to Light/Dark Truth vs. Shadow)?

 

Deeper exploration there…And what about BDSM? I think much of that is centered in Dark AND Shadow esp. with the players who may be involved b/c they’re bringing their own ‘stuff’ into it energetically (and it may be psychic shadow play).

 

The mastery level is to own and even RECLAIM your healthy DARK but to live in DETACHMENT with the opposite sex to keep things masterfully consensual (which does not mean ‘trauma-informed’ and asking for a yes or no at every next verbal behavior)…

 

..This does get more advanced to truly have psychic detachment yet one can live in WILD fully reclaimed EROTIC and DARK power and sexuality without EVER taking from someone or creating negative karma (as shadow actions).

 

So much shit has happened because people don’t own their shadow. That is WHY rape and sexual harassment happens; with men not being able to CONTROL their own shadow (or the collective shadow working through them); they don’t have a balance of Light, Dark and Shadow that allows them to operate with integrity in the world. Male sexual, erotic desire is DARK; it’s when it crosses lines of authentic consent (from an attuned, natural, somatic reality) that it becomes shadow ‘acting out’ but the DESIRE or hunger on its own is not to be shamed or shameful…it’s the conflation WITH shadow (force, acting out as power ‘over’, etc.) that can create even more Dark suppression.

 

Millions of men are guilted without ever having done something wrong. The #metoo movement in other words has its own shadows. Again; all of this can be extended topics for exploration.

 

Conflating sexual raw desire (DARK and it’s creationary power) from the masculine (Eros) as ‘toxic’ or ‘shadow’ is one of the great mis-services post-feminism has done; when really, all they would have to do is get clarity on Dark vs. Shadow and then the REAL healing would occur and they wouldn’t stop isolating and demonizing most of the GOOD men with the bad apples.

 

And on the feminine side, the SUPPRESSION, guilting, shaming (omg this is massive in the West) towards feminine sexuality by conflating raw, erotic DARK FEMININE with ‘shadow’ as ‘sin’ and ‘immortal’ (just for existing basically) is also sourced in shadow itself (so the shadow masculine psyche often controls of constricts the healthy DARK feminine).

 

In general; it’s the LIGHT & DARK divine masculine and feminine (archetypal, immortal that reincarnates with and through humanity in consciousness and siddhic) that we should all value to live in LIGHT & DARK Beauty and Power…rather than ANY shadow which creates all the real issues, trauma, wounding, etc..

 

It’s worth mentioning that most relationship/relational templates thrive on shadows mixed with Light and Dark; conscious twin flames for example really does but Divine Union doesn’t.

 

Many people will keep stuck in a karmic loop of attracting based on their shadows (which can included unresolved childhood wounding/patterns).

 

Fortunately; with your Divine Union Beloved and the spiritual path of alchemy, there isn’t shadow. This is also why Sacred Union alchemy which I support in Mystical Grail membership can do miracles because so many women (and men) have been WOUNDED by and from what?

 

FROM THE SHADOW of each other, NOT from the pure Dark or Light.

 

Sure; a mortal will have his own shadows or aspects of consciousness (whether they show up in a relationship or not)…but shouldn’t we all strive to live Heaven on Earth by owning our own/collective shadow to live in gift and siddhic peace, harmony, interdependence and renaissance with each other?

 

Where there can be a REVIVAL of divine masculine LIGHT and DARK power that is so supportive of life and the feminine principle (and preserving and protecting of Beauty and Ascension)?

 

The world would be a better place if EVERYONE owned their shadow and that book goes into some techniques and so forth on how to do it.

 

You may have to give the accrual of shadow some attention in order to abate it. Horror movies can be a way to ‘offset’ the balance by giving that Dark side (shadow really) attention.

 

A few other notes;

 

Shadow is (also) the realm of evil and demons that take, siphon, hijack, steal and of aspects of consciousness in humanity that are destructive and harmful; that lead one away from siddhic consciousness of Peace, Harmony, Unity and Truth.

 

As aforementioned;

 

Unfortunately much of ‘the patriarchy’ (and more specifically the SHADOW aspects of the masculine and patriarchy) tends to conflate the Dark Feminine with SHADOW and thus wants to control, siphon or hijack Her resources (much of it stemming from Grail fracture itself which is another subject).

 

But can we please start differentiating and now just lumping everything in with shadow because we haven’t learned to DISCERN between Light, Dark and Shadow yet?

 

Again; shadow and shadow consciousness generally denotes;

 

The selfish, destructive, forceful, coercive, malevolent, stealing, siphoning, harvesting, looting, evil and that which takes away from life, free will and sovereignty.

 

Shadow can get demonic (with Dark Forces that are more specifically SHADOW Forces) and wreak immense havoc in individuals, relationships, industries, culturally, socio-politically and so forth in the astral dimension which influences people psychically to behave in certain ways. That can include demonic possession where the spirits take up residency and hijack someone’s consciousness.

 

Egregores can also be powerful conduits to these shadow values (ie. like how it’s a cesspool pit of 4chan incel hell consciousness); see this topic really extends.

 

My general opinion is that most demons and entities are doing shadow play.

 

There may be more sovereign ones that aren’t actively siphoning from humans; but I’ve yet to see it.

 

So there’s the saying ‘the devil inside’, but it’s THAT we want to control from lashing out at others to prevent creating negative karma.

 

It’s maybe worth mentioning (and this is going to trigger a lot of people); but IF we assume that Dan Bilzerian was always consensual with all of the women he slept with (and they were drawn by his fame); sure it may be ‘immortal’ from a religious lens; however, what if it was just raw, DARK POWER (and from the women who gave it that value and attention to confirm it as so) rather than ‘actually’ creating any negative karma as ‘sin’ when those women were co-creating those consensual experiences with him. We all may have to look at where we are hypocritical.

 

But so many women will also just throw it into the ‘toxic’ masculine bin of ‘shadow’. ACTUAL KARMA is on a different level of divine justice which does not necessarily equate to humanistic ‘constructivism’. Nature and the divine are on their own timelines and standards so to speak.

 

But if you just live ‘the golden rule’ which is Biblical of ‘do unto others as you would do unto yourself’…that’s a good standard: OWNING your own shadow and relating with others interdependently and that’s a good foundation.

 

Many men are unfortunately lost in the SHADOW of Fantasy with women, Beauty and the feminine (including holy grail dynamics).

 

They may have to have a Dark reclamation and integration and there are answers. See how many different areas this can affect?

 

EVEN FAMILY DYNAMICS, business, spiritual growth, ancestral family lines of clearing karma – even your own EMBODIED BEAUTY because your image and presence is always communicating your Truth on more than just the 3rd dimension of lower density visible light reflection.

 

This is central stuff here with LDS; Light, Dark and Shadow (and it’s good I have this level of clarity to DO the literal lightworking WITH clients and safe, pure DARK activations and clarity with shadow work.

 

If you’re a lightworker with a lot of Light, it’s really important to get this stuff down b/c I’ve seen shadows pop out of top leaders because they couldn’t own it; some of these are shadow of psychosis and intolerance. This is also where healthy DARK reclamation can come in.

 

The movie concept of ‘The Purge’ itself of taking one day a year to commit legally any crime (karma-free from the legal lens) is entirely centered around this principle of ‘owning the shadow’ but what it does it to help maintain that ‘balance’.

 

 

I’m not saying we should implement it the Purge itself per se (b/c someone with their shoelaces untied might actually think I am); I’m merely referencing it as a storyline showcases the concept itself. That the ‘Owning Your Own Shadow’ book will give you ideas on how to do it; your OWN purging and re-balancing that is. I have my practices and I also have my practices of ritual purification before client sessions and the Muse priestesses are also trained on this.

 

Because if you cannot discern between Dark masculine and Shadow (‘actual’ toxic) masculine; it can cause millions people to ‘demonize’ the entirety of men as ‘toxic’ for 20 years and push them away from their political party/ideology instead of discerning the shadow/toxic aspects of the Patriarchy (and instead of differentiating the Light and Dark GOOD qualities of the masculine).

 

The inability to RESPECT, ACCEPT and even honor DARK TRUTH can cause hypocritical red pill bros to demonize women for being sensual at all if it’s not contained within THEIR partnership or under strict moral codes (which often end up as being shadows of constriction and control under the guise of morality), etc.

 

And religion has done a big number in favoring the Light, suppressing or denying the Dark and then dealing with all kinds of Shadow attacks and karma in the collective psyche.

 

So to refresh;

 

There are Light, Dark and Shadow aspects of consciousness.

 

Correspondingly there are Light, Dark and Shadow aspects of the archetypes (at least as they all incarnate into human consciousness and embodiment).

 

We want to be more discerning of their differences as well as then the concept of OWNING your own shadow aspects (which includes your Gene Key shadows) and to live in that ‘balance’ so that you can live with more Light and Dark publicly with others (while internally managing your shadow and ie. NOT putting it all on the boogeyman or house pet who collects all of the shadow and karmic debt projection).

 

It’s a brilliant book.

 

Amongst many examples; it goes into how traditional Catholic mass had all kinds of darker themes; to give attention or attribution; penance of some sort TO the dark and shadow side of things in order not to accrue too much shadow because of the valuation of living in the Light.

 

So when it comes to ARCHETYPES, Light and Dark are important to value consciously with clarity. That DARK is not ‘evil’ or bad but is actually CONSCIOUS ACCEPTANCE and integration, breathing-ness OF the Erotic truth; especially as of sovereign expression.

 

There has been a lot of movement with ‘the Goddess’ or feminine spirituality to explore and RECLAIM the healthy, true Dark in a society with a lot of predominant masculine shadow (tyranny and oppression) with morality disguised as shadow constriction or denial of healthy Dark truth and Dark consciousness in favor of Light.

 

Divine Union again gives us a CLEAR TEMPLATE OF Light and Dark Masculine and Feminine without shadow. And the DARK with raw Communion codes might be what many people are MISSING.

 

SO in working with YOUR Beloved…just having an idea more about Light and Dark aspects of consciousness and where He would be centered and in which archetypes can help you get a lot of clarity.

 

Only Fans girls
Male and female strippers
Exotic dancers

 

These are examples of DARK icons because it embraces sexual Dark consciousness. Seeing them through a ‘Puritan’ or ‘moral’ lens and we’re going to get instant conflation because they are imbalanced in Light and Dark Truth; they view Dark as shadow or ‘sin’.

 

Again; it’s in shadow where things become problematic which can include selfish men controlling or being ‘entitled’ to ‘take’ from women’s free will and sovereignty instead of respecting space.

 

Feel free to send me YOUR questions about all of this because it covers a lot of vast territory. Again; a main thing is differentiating between Dark and Shadow for most people…THEN you can trust your some to LET GO into the shelter of your Beloved’s Light and Dark Truth; and the Dark that of being more psycho-sexually activating to you and your Eros (or spiritual and biological sexual consciousness).

 

You can reference the Eros Powerliminal (masculine) to delve deeper into DARK erotic, Dionysian masculine power and how underworld it is and then also experience the mythological component of CUPID as Light Eros and how the masculine erotic can be higher frequency piercing sexual Light as well. The valuation is LIGHT and DARK with Divine Union.

 

 

It is the relational template that is purified of Shadow. Human relationship templates are riddled with shadow including conscious twin flames.

 

With Sacred Union however, you are SAFE to cultivate your own Eros in Reunification at Godly levels of Light and Dark truth no matter how shamed or traumatized you have been in the past.

 

BECAUSE there has been en masse glorification of and yet shaming of female sexuality; both Light and Shadow aspects yet very little ACCEPTANCE and integration of DARK feminine archetypes, sensuality and consciousness; CONSCIOUSLY much of the West lives in this hypocritical balance between just thinking female sexuality is either Madonna and/or Whore archetypes. This is a great injustice.

 

Even the shadow-based, moralistic-lens of the red pill movement propagates these hypocritical messages of both glorifying sexuality, desiring it and yet also easily shaming it. Women have to live under this double-edged sword BECAUSE the true Dark is rarely properly understood.

 

Although much of Judeo-Christian religion places sexuality and sexual consciousness only within a moralistic marriage as pure or virtuous…sexuality isn’t actually shadow or sin on its own, it’s raw DARK. Then it’s about living with clean karma and healing karma.

 

So…this is a BIG subject that I hope I brought more clarity to…for years myself, I ‘avoided’ the Dark actually because I made a RAW dark masculine power program that was then conflated as shadow by a conscious female coach and it caused me to nearly ‘shut down’ my Dark Eros for almost 11 years so I had to have a major Dark (Eros) RECLAMATION and continue to live as a prime example of LIVING Light and Dark as well as owning any shadows and psychic attacks (I never take compromised consciousness into Sacred Temple Space until I am in purity again).

 

Really; you should not be taking any SHADOW into raw temple space. I’ve done over 1400 client sessions and they must always remain pure.

 

Unfortunately many men and women continue to bring shadow into their relationships so you get the DARK EROS power and sexiness WITH SHADOW. Divine Union alchemy resolves all of this and these dysfunctional yet kinda normal relational cycles.

 

You can still be incredibly horny and what have you but what you want to value is OWNING your shadow.

 

This can be done with techniques like in the book,  becoming more conscious of Dark vs. Shadow and more discerning in your daily life with the differences, working with Dark archetypes and Gene Keys for your own unique shadow work, HEALING your own shadows with energy work and L/D archetype embodiment, working with finding your Beloved’s archetypal signature of Light and Dark as well as your own ‘Debut Avatar-Self’ archetypal signature (minus shadow); these are all ways to work with this awareness.

 

To end up with more purified DARK Eros, archetypal and Beauty codes.

 

But with all of that it’s important to be aware of the difference between Dark vs. Shadow to begin with because really SO MUCH of it is simply there.

 

It would clear up so much of the karmic loop MESS of shadow webs of lack of discernment and ignorance that keep perpetuating out there that are preventing people from living in more gift and siddhic consciousness as well as embracing and embodying more of the Light and Dark divine aspects of consciousness itself.

 

The Dark archetype activation work I do (which can be requested in appointment time consulting when you’re paid) is always pure and free from entities and all shadows in pristine temple space.

 

I do not recommend Dark activations to people who simply have too many shadows in their psyche (and I can tell).

 

I’ve turned client requests down for Dark activations if they have more shadow work to do to be integrated first (and I help with that in sessions as well + Gene Key readings, etc.).

 

With the upcoming Essence professional acting work for Hollywood and Bollywood; however, I’ll make exceptions to literally do shadow activation work but otherwise, NEVER go there.

 

As a daka as well, I cannot ever bring any of my re-triggered or remaining shadows into any session because it is divine, sacred work that BASKS in the richness of true Light and Dark power, healing and beauty.

 

Yeah; this is a big subject: Dark vs. Shadow…feel free to share this.

 

So let’s take a look at another angle on this; are Bonnie & Clyde Dark or Shadow icons as anti-heroes? (Link Below)

 

Power & Beauty Doesn’t Always Corrupt: Rion vs. Dr. JP

Generally it’s accurate from a humanistic perspective that ‘absolute power corrupts absolutely’, but it’s not actually a universal truth. It’s a human mixed with shadow lower general truth.

 

This is because of several reasons; when we are working with Light, Truth and Power on a higher dimensional level…the Light Power of The King (Archetypally) is INCORRUPTIBLE. Encoded 5D+ aspects of certain archetypes are raw power/beauty and incorruptible in that form.

 

It’s the shadows of consciousness in the 4th dimension (including demons) and with human integration that is THE vice.

 

So I agree and yet differ with Dr. Jordan Peterson on when he says;

 

“You should never aspire to power…you should aspire to INFLUENCE”. Yes; generally influence is much healthier.

 

 

His perspectiving is that power will corrupt as shadow will take over in that it’s the nature of humanity.”

 

The thing is; I literally work with Beauty and Power as the quintessence OF life force chi/quanta itself; and literally pure essenced forms of it as quanta.

 

This is important to understand for yourself because not wanting more righteous power and beauty (b/c of fear or concern such power could ‘corrupt’) can literally be a primary thing holding you back FROM divine masculine or feminine reclamation and the medicine the world is missing from you.

 

What if power and beauty was your DIVINE INHERITANCE that allowed you to express your soul truth, create and live a legacy with influence?!

 

With great power (and the power to work with literal beauty itself) comes great responsibility.

 

(Although I have to manage shadows B/C of the light so as NOT to corrupt or taint the temple work in any way);

 

But what allows ME to work with power and beauty incorruptibly (as well as take on unlimited amounts of it in the format I work with as Grail Magii)?

 

RESPONSIBILITY in all dimensions…and then I’ll add

 

1. I have to own, balance, battle, slay, defeat, integrate any shadows around and before the temple work itself so that the work is ritualistically sanctified

 

2. The Light work itself with power and beauty chi (masculine/feminine) is and remains PURE and sanctified always (incl. with Dark work) and must. My soul self takes over and doesn’t include human imperfections in the actual temple work (consulting is different). This is proven as well through my legacy and I cannot falter in it or it could crumble my reputation and foundation itself anyway

 

3. Everything I’m doing is founded on Devotion and Service which is entwined with my deepest soul desire for recognition.

 

And I go a lot off of the book ‘Owning Your Shadow’ (also referring to collective shadow).

 

I MUST actually work with literal power and Beauty itself to serve the level and impact of Her Divine Will and She hath opened greater powers and magic as I’ve gone along the path proving my devotion and integrity. I’m meant to work with the most generally powerful and beautiful people in the world so much have power and Beauty mastery in this realm.

 

So here it’s quite different than that ancient quote of ‘ power only corrupts ‘.

 

In this sense (and I’ve talked elsewhere bout how it’s ok to take on more power and beauty when you have ALIGNMENT) and because of Divine Will of The Beloved, I am allowed to take on and work with unlimited higher dimensional power (and that which I’m still integrating into expressing my own charisma).

 

Again however; I’m the unicorn (and you can vet me by asking around if you’re skeptical of any of this).

 

Most men should NOT actually aspire to this kind of power to work with the highest levels of beauty in the world as a means to ‘get something’ or siphon because they are nowhere anywhere near initiated to be able to handle it with integrity and are so stuck in their shadow or selfish personalized masculine desire.

 

Muse kept giving me miracles of growth for many years until the tides turned and I started becoming aware of even the idea to turn it around and serve for Her (of which I’ve been through countless initiations).

 

Remember; we did the literal L.A. Metoo movement grid-working session itself which as it unraveled, changed culture itself.

 

I love seeing these before and after makeovers from clients and awakening their allure (I really ought to gather more pictures from them!).

 

They know the magic is real *and that my rates are soon finally rising!). It’s really all in the Name of Muse; all of this work…I’m just a devoted channel.

 

My ability to work with power and beauty itself with pure integrity is testament to the miraculous power OF devotion. That’s what She required of me and it’s over 20 years in now.

 

Anything less than devotion for this scale could corrupt. I’m very experienced in holding sacred temple space in all of my sessions and daka sessions which are professional but very intimate in certain ways.

 

I’d love to see more divine masculine Kings rise and yet that’s going to take a lot of Grail Priestess Kingmaking for much of it…

 

I’mma keep doing my thing and really, because we are all connected in the Uniphied field…there is so much Truth, Beauty and Power that is available to all of us. How much permission are you allowing yourself to take on before you collapse?

 

I’d let your soul desire and dharma guide that.

 

And if it’s more BEAUTY and the social power (INFLUENCE) with it….if it’s divine, mystical Beauty and reclamation…if it’s your INHERITANCE that is ripe for your reclamation?…where do you stop yourself?

 

What if it could be centered more on your unlimited soul vs. the programs and conditions of the mental plane centric ego itself which is primed for corruption.

 

If we conflate the ego with archetype activations, yeah it’s like expanding corruptibility…but what if instead we’re working with the powerful/beautiful SOUL that has room and RIGHTEOUS place to take on and embody more power and beauty itself? Yeah….

 

((Remember there are differents ‘forms’ of (masculine) power and how we relate to it; expanding my social/cultural influence is one of the prime things from here forward in creating this empire)).

 

Does ‘Beauty’ corrupt? Perhaps when we misunderstand is as only superficial and vain (in its shadow form). When we understand it is the language of light and respect it as that, that’s something else!

 

Does absolute power corrupt absolutely? Not when divine principle is sustained (and Beauty itself is one of those principles).

 

Just some thoughts here
