I have thought a bit about something. How Light works. And I believe that we as humans, are not supposed to be embodie that completely all of the time. I believe we are meant to have it, to connect, to remember who we truly are. Light/Source. But think a bit about that. If we embodie Light completely, we wont be able to meet others at a deeper level. We all come from this Light. Source. But we chose to be Humans for a reason. To experience exactley that. To be Humans. Many have had many lives here on Earth. Each life making our Souls grow. Bringing more and more learnings, wisdom, back to Source. If we embody Light completely, we become our Soul, Source Light, and to some, this might be completely right. But for me, it feels more right to enjoy being my self. I remember how it was being my Soul, for a short time being. But it did not take long before I reconnected with my self. For me, I feel like I can reach people better as this. As my self. Because, as a Human, with flaws, with a shadow, darker aspects of myself, I can turn that into something that makes me understand shadow in others. And makes me an Understanding person. And as I gain this Understanding for someone, I feel Compassion, and it makes me want to be Kind to this person. And it makes me have Respect, for the Journey this person is on. Because, we all are on this Journey, ourselves. Alone. And all we can Hope for is for others to see us, as we are, and to see how we are in fact trying our best. Trying to deal with not only our darker aspects, but trying to be the better of ourselves. It can be a hard road to walk. We might get judged by the way we are dealing with ourselves and our challenges. But just so You know, You are not alone. I am actually walking this path right along with You.
To get back to what I was starting this post out with, we are meant to experience this Life as Humans. And the Light that we have, is for us to connect with as we please. Maybe through meditation, through seeking it within us or to ask for it from Source. But it is my opinion that most people should enjoy being their selves. And enjoy being this Human that they are born into. Here on this planet. But we as Humans, are more than just our selves. We are our Souls. Which we were before we came into our Human body. Our Soul comes from Source, and might live many lives before returning to Source, or finding Home to one of the Heavens. And also, we have our shadow. So as a Human, we are put together in those three parts. As I see it, atleast. And there are probably many other teachings on how a Human is put together that is far more intricate than my view here. But.. I had a point, by pointing out these three parts of the Human being. The Soul is the Light that comes from Source, which we were before we came into the body, the Self, is who we are as a human, which has grown from when we were born here on Earth. The minuite we came out of the womb and screamed, and heard our own voice for the first time, we started gathering sensory information. It doesnt mean that we did not have this before, but it was when we first heard our own voice that we first recognized ourselves. After that. Everything was a part of building our selves. Our Shadow, is also something that grows with us. Not nececarily in size or heaviness or anything like that, but it changes as we changes. Darker aspects of ourselves is continuesly worked with as they pop up during our lives. We might put things that we are unable to deal with at that exact moment into our Shadow, but then at a later point have it resurface, for us to deal with later on. You can kind of see the Shadow self as a storage space for your darker aspects. It does not mean they never resurface, it does not mean You never feel that darkness or never become dark again in certain situations. But it is pretty possible to have a great distance to Your Shadow self. That can be a good thing. But try not to throw everything You dont want to deal with there, never to look at again, because it might resurface unexpectedly, when You first start to deal with some of it. Let Your Shadow carry Your burden for a time, then, when the time is right, revisit, and work through things.
Now I have written about my view on the three parts of the Human being. And I would like to add something. The Self is who You are as a Human. Who You are experiencing to be here on this planet. Your Shadow self is Your darker aspects, the keeper of Your burdens, the part of You that enables You to work with Yourself at your own pace. Being the Self that You are supposed to be, as a Human. Your Soul holds the Light within You. The Light You were when You Journeyed here to this planet from Source. Which might have lived many Lives, grown more and more for each Life. When connecting to this Light, Your Soul, all Your dark aspects fall away. And by doing this, You can work with Yourself. But it is kind of a short cut, and, if You dont continuesly do this, Your Shadow might reappear, allthough You have diminished it through Your working with Your Light.
I want to adress something I find very important regarding Shadow work. And that is how to use Love, as a Healing form, when revisiting our darker aspects. Its like, we as Humans, have both Light and Dark within our Selves. And the core of our Human being, is Love. It is what we yearn for, what we come from, and what we live for. And I believe it is what is needed, to Heal ourselves. Whether its within the Shadow self or the Self, or even within the Light, the Soul. Regarding the Soul there can be kharmic trauma connected to the Soul. If You believe in such things that is. Because what we believe has a lot to say, how our lives become. But back to the topic of Love. Healing our darker aspects, I believe will require Love. Unconditional Love. Try to revisit an aspect of Yourself that is dark. Let it come forth(it can either a feeling or a certain way of being that you dont appreciate). Now talk to Yourself. Say, I am what Iam, right now(this might be anger, it might be jealousy, envy or any other negative feeling or way of being). Ask Yourself, what made me feel this way? Find the reason for Your negative emotions or way of being. Now ask, why did I feel this way? Now that You know what made You feel this way, and why You felt this way, You will notice, What made You feel this way, is not entierly Your fault. Why You felt this way, will show You the root of Your wound, that made You feel and react the way that You did. Now You can Heal it. Try telling Yourself. I know that I am continuesly trying my best. And that is enough. My wound is not my fault. But I can Heal it, and grow stronger from it. Say to Yourself, I deserve Unconditional Love. From myself, to myself. Forever. Because, if You are always trying Your best. No one can expect more from You. When You have answered the two questions, what and why, You will gain Understanding for Yourself, and this will hopefully make You more compassionate towards Yourself and the situation You were in. And also, if this that You have brought forth, is from a long time ago, Know that it is okay to feel okay now. Because You might have changed alot, and also, You did Your best at that time, with what You had of knowledge, with what programming You had at that time within Your mind. We all grow. We all Journey through Life. And we all deserve Loving ourselves, having Compassion for ourselves, Understanding ourselves and to be Kind to ourselves. All of these for ourselves as we continuesly try to do our best.
I have written alot about what we need to be having for ourselves, but I would like to add, that as we grow stronger within ourselves and become more and more Healed, we might find the strength within ourselves to be all of these things for others as well. And that I find quite beatiful.
Thank You for reading this.
With Unconditional Love and Gratitude
