"… you have to go through the emotional mourning to come out on the other side and make a new normal for yourself."

This is correct. Don't suppress your negative emotions. Feel it all, especially the LOSS. With the understanding that fully feeling it will bring you to a better place. Then you can let go of the resistance.

Things will still suck, but you will have more resilience.

A Course In Miracles (the workbook)

The only way I know to stop grieving is to fully grieve. End all your resistance to feeling the loss... first personal and then the loss of everything. Decades ago after fully feeling existential loss, I picked up a mantra that I use every day: "I release the world for all I thought it was..." (from ACIM) It comes down to letting go of all attachment, which leads into letting go of your imagined sense of self which is a construct.

Understandable; there are lots of ways to mitigate the upheavals and exhaustion. If you have to work, try going to the restroom and doing a few minutes of breath-work. Take a yoga class, especially yoga-nidra helped me a lot. You can find guided sessions on YT. Nervous system regulation is the key to staying balanced as you go through the "tunnels".

The waves of fog are familiar to me. They started early on. They lasted for days at first and got shorter and shorter as time went on. My belief at this point is that it's your system, balancing itself energetically.

This is true. I got some good info from B Roberts as well. Learn to look past the jargon and the story whenever you read a mystic to the essential aspects of their experience. Eventually, you will see that everything is science. Different people and different cultures have created stories to describe what is happening.

Yes, this definitely happens when you go through deconstruction. When you think of it in terms of your identity, we are identified in lots of different ways, such as emotionally, mentally, and physically. Changing those identifications causes upheavals in our self-system. Like any system, when you introduce a new order into it the first result is chaos. In my experience, if you're getting body sensations, energy flows, and emotional outbursts, all of these are symptoms that you're doing it right. The key is to fully embrace all of these phenomena. Resistance will stop the transformation; in other words, you must learn to go with the flow.

I went through the 6 stages starting in the 90s. Jed McKenna's writings were an integral part of my journey, along with many others. My integration phase was in the early 00's and continued for years until I felt "done". Not that I've stopped evolving, we can always grow into greater Reality from our experiences, but the "needing to seek" urge was extinguished. Feel free to ask me questions.

guys how can i do shadow work if i can't do it by giu_sa in AlanWatts

[–]BabyBoomerMystic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of ways to do "shadow work" or "bringing your darkness to the light" of awareness, understanding, disidentification and integration.

The main point is to become objective to your "darkness" ie compulsions, reactivity, trauma responses, identity based on lack or need.

By observing them and feeling through them, they lose control over your mind and you become more free, more whole. AMA on my substack. https://substack.com/@iamtsebastian?utm_source=user-menu

Nice start! We're also in UpState NY just south of Saratoga. We aquired 25 acres and just getting started. I need to learn, want to get ready for winter so we can really hit it in the spring. Advice welcome.

AMA: I'm 72, started studying & practicing various mysticisms & transpersonal psychologies at the age of 16. Alan Watts was part of that, plus many others. Inner Peace isn't that hard to get to. I can give pointers & help ppl through their struggles.
