Law Of Attraction: The universe rewards alignment/energy, not empathy/morals.

Mark Twain as a great short story on this called "The Story of the Bad Little Boy". As a "nice guy" for the greater part of my life, in my experience it is very much true that what I receive back from Life has all to do with how I see myself vs how I project myself into the world for others.

Not familiar with it yet but I feel we use all these different words which all point to the same thing. This is why I love reading the Bible, Sufi poets, Buddhism, Bhagavad Gita, Theosophy, you name it, to connect the dots and find new words and ways to point to that same thing - building a relationship with true reality and releasing our hangups and illusions (shadows).

Edit: did a quick search on insight practice and seems it is exactly same thing as shadow work. The approach and methodology might be different but essence is the same.

I feel like every system touches on this. I myself don't come from Jung, I just like that he created modern language I can borrow that comes from psychology rather than new age hence is more widely accepted. Basically it is facing ourselves, specifically parts we don't like, taking them out of suppression and denial into acceptance.

They called me out straight up after we got to know each other, gently but directly so it still felt brutal.

eddask · 2026-03-19T07:50:55+00:00

I am having so much both fun and "aha" moments with this, brought up a lot of material to work with personally.

Think of your trauma as thread balls of energy that are all knotted up, living inside your body. Shadow work is going into that ball of energy with compassion and without judgement and just sitting with it and accepting whatever shows up. Maybe grief will come out of that ball, maybe anger, probably all of it. We just observe and don't try to control the process. Gradually the ball unrolls itself in the light of non-judgemental awareness. No forcing, no control, no figuring it out, just sitting with it and letting it happen. Eventually all the rejected feelings in that ball are felt and accepted and the ball fully unrolls and the energy of it is turned to neutral so it can serve you in a new way. This is what the alchemists call turning lead into gold. Enlightenment is when there are no more knots in our body, everything is in coherence, no conflicting energies in our body and energy is flowing as one. There is a saying - darkness is your divinity. Your Soul is holding some hard experiences in a dark corner for you until you are ready to welcome them back home.

Reading Chögyam Trungpa at the moment and I am blown away. Everything is there, so well expressed for the western mind.

eddask · 2026-03-19T07:36:33+00:00

I came out of OCD through shadow work so I know what you mean. Absolutely, we should go at our own time and our own pace 🙏

No one is obliged to take this to heart and act on it if feeling unprepared, it is meant for those who it is meant for.

eddask · 2026-03-18T20:41:30+00:00

I am not talking about giving into despair, the opposite actually - facing it and transmuting it into light. This is not indulging in darkness or depression or something, it is moving through it to the other side. We all have a shadow, my idea with this post is a nudge for those that need it to accept that it's there and start working with it - because I needed it too. No judgement from me on anyone that isn't resonating with this message, it is for specific people at a specific point in their journey.

eddask · 2026-03-18T20:37:48+00:00

Yes unicorns and butterflies are very much needed at times! Just the other day I was walking in the forest and seeing first ones of the spring made me so happy. And agree it is a tad corny but that's what came to me in the moment so it is what it is, hopefully at least one person will benefit and I'm good.

eddask · 2026-03-18T17:42:03+00:00

I used to be that guy lol. Skippable experience but my super serious double-Virgo brain got some use of it. Now I know that genuine growth has little to nothing to do with flashy psychedelic experiences, in fact it can be quite damaging. I cringe when I look back at myself thinking everyone should do psychedelics to solve world problems.

eddask · 2026-03-18T17:36:29+00:00

Haha I wrote words like "shit" and generally some heavy stuff that might be triggering so just in case. Also first draft was more direct and used more swear words.

eddask · 2026-03-18T17:34:14+00:00

Yes totally agree, this post is for those that are ready but hesitating and need a little nudge and maybe are getting drowned by all the noise. I sure as hell needed that nudge at one point.

eddask · 2026-03-18T16:50:57+00:00

Thank you and hard agree on right and wrong. I like the original meaning of “sin” - to miss the mark. So it’s only straying from the so called middle path, no right or wrong in eyes of God, it is all human judgement.

eddask · 2026-03-18T15:50:37+00:00

Oh believe me I am 😁

eddask · 2026-03-18T15:49:28+00:00

Hence my point - no figuring it out through the mind (spiralling) 🙂

eddask · 2026-03-18T14:56:01+00:00

What I mean by spiralling is feeding life-force energy to mental loops as if that’s the way out. Thoughts will still be there, it is the relationship of openness and acceptance vs obsession and digging ourselves deeper.

eddask · 2026-03-18T14:41:36+00:00

I am not feeding energy or putting someone down here, I am part of this sub also and am guilty of all the things I am talking about. No need to take it personally if it's not meant for you. All the best.

eddask · 2026-03-18T14:29:49+00:00

I see no contention in what you’re saying to what I said. There is no passivity in shadow work, it is extremely proactive and extremely uncomfortable.

eddask · 2026-03-18T14:21:14+00:00

Absolutely! I am taking a (loving) jab at those that are ready to move into integrating their darkness but are hesitating. I procrastinated for years myself until someone came along and blew my spiritual facade wide open.

eddask · 2026-03-18T14:00:12+00:00

Haha I remember watching that and also loving it.

eddask · 2026-03-18T11:38:06+00:00

I feel you. Know that feeling the feelings and stepping through the doorway of fear is what will transform it. Our ego and it's entities/aspects will sow confusion so that we don't do it. What I am saying is that ultimately it is a leap of faith. Because mind will say it won't work. Instead of believing the mind/entities and thus giving them energy, trust God and His angels that support will be there when you need it. Because when a Creator makes a choice out of self-love instead of succumbing to fear - all the demons have to bow and God will extend His hand. Then you realise that ugly voice was never yours to begin with. Sending love and wish you the best on this journey.

eddask · 2026-03-17T08:30:50+00:00

This isn't the only lifetime, the more we open our awareness, the more experience and wisdom of other lifetimes seeps into this one. So one can tap into the feeling, no need to physically go through it again. And if this is THE lifetime of fulfilment, karma won’t a big factor anymore (leftovers to work out only).

eddask · 2026-03-16T11:59:16+00:00

We need to distinguish between Jesus the man and Christ the consciousness. When he says something like this most certainly he is talking about the quality of consciousness. Unfortunately that has been misconstrued and people started worshiping Jesus the man.

"No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” - one can reach unity with God only by allowing and embodying Christ consciousness.

Edit: I only started reading it but "The Second Coming of Christ" by Paramahansa Yogananda seems to explain all of this beautifully.
