When you integrate your shadow, you begin the psychological process of individuation. Depth, rootedness, and stability is born. You become more grounded, more secure in your skin, more independent in your moral judgments, more courageous and self-reliant.
A kind of antifragility emerges out of paradox. The ability to transform a negative into a positive becomes manifest: such as transforming pain into power, wounds into wisdom, setbacks into steppingstones, tragedy into teacher, loss into laboratory, shadow work into soulcraft.
Best of all: shadow integration gives you purpose, and having a purpose quells fear. You become capable of using fear as fuel for the fire of a fulfilling life.
Before mastery, shadow work. After mastery, shadow work.

I was alone when I was 20. I had lost my adoptive mother (passed away) I was going to trade school to learn and decided to join the army. I had registered and had it all figured out. I had shown her family love. I had given my time to her daughter and brothers. Helping them out with everything. Moving, cleaning things their business. I had been told I no longer have a home. I was told to kick rocks. I had a blood brother who was at war at the time so he couldnāt help me. I was alone. I had a mental collapse at that moment. I had been a good kid, I helped everyone i had done so much good and my reward? Alone, the very people who I thought would have my back had abandoned me to my face. My own brother seemed to not be around for me. I got keys from a friend I made at the army while training. He gave me keys to an apartment that was abandoned. He had moved out and gave me the keys because he had 1 month on the lease and he whom joined the same time as me had the luck to leave in a week. I had to wait three months. I sat alone in the dark. I showered with cold water. I sat in complete darkness and slept on the floor. Noting no money no noting. I was a kid and I had never had guidance. I didnāt know how to go about life. I prayed to god I had meditated. Little ol me, the young bright eyed boy who thought everyone was family sitting alone in the dark. I was so mad so heart broken so (betrayed) that I cried, I hugged my knees together and I cried. A deep sad cry. No one came for me, no one came to help me. I was alone, no food nothing. I realized this world is evil this world is cruel. The people around you donāt matter when it comes to you* always put yourself first. I had learned that where ever Iāll go Iāll remember that I made it alone. I realized that you need darkness. You need to realize that smiling and agreeing to go with people that hate you can end in your death. That being agreeable and nice will lead you to lose things that are precious to you, like your time or your values. I taught myself to see people based on actions and to listen to my heart. Those that say they love you the most, those that say theyāre your friends the most are verbally conditioning you. The true friends donāt say it the true family member doesnāt need to voice it. None the less I got myself out. How? I walked to a McDonaldās and talked to the manager. A manager who my friend knew. My friend had told me my situation. I had gotten a job a mile away from my dark room. I was so happy. I would get dressed in the dark. Iād look myself in the mirror and would tell myself, donāt worry youāll do great. I smiled and flexed and showed my muscles and said hey I got grit and I got heart. I stood taller now that I had a job. I used my money to get a phone. I contacted some friends and I started to hang out with them. I went home at what ever time because I was homeless so it didnāt matter right? No, I went home at 10. I kept a focused mind. I had to work the next day I had responsibilities. I called and asked for food stamps and told them I was homeless and gave them a friends address for the food stamps. I had solved two problems within a week. I had one thing, someone that stood by my side. I never felt alone. God made it so that everything I touched it turned into gold. I had such luck. Everything went my way. My friends found out about me and one of them had a dad who was in the army. He was like what this kid is homeless, working 40 hours a week, has food stamps and he is alone? He told me to come stay with them until I left to the army. He would take me to work and pick me up and take me to training. My friend gave me his bed. He let me sleep on his bed. I hugged him and cried and everything I felt so grateful. I left to the army shortly after. I got on my feet and of course maintained contact with them. I left my food stamps card so they could buy what ever food they wanted. I learned a lot more through out my life. I learned that no matter how good of a person horrible things can still happen to you. I learned that good or bad has no face. The most beautiful and happy people can back stab you same with ugly people. In this life there is no discretion. You need to be selfish and plan things. Always look for options and what will put you in a situation thatās undesirable is lack of money. With money youāll be able to do things. Youāll be valuable to people. I was given a house to sleep in and I had the utmost respect. That family is forever blessed. I love them forever. Iām thankful and grateful. Pray to god as well. Tell him your problems and ask him for help when you need it. I found money on the floor during those times. I also meditated and didnāt fap. As men we have the energy to ATTRACT but it comes with semen retention. People will want you to be around them and you will have energy to multi task. Deep down I wanted to hate everyone and become a criminal but I hugged myself and told myself that itās not my fault. I had spread noting but love and eventually it will come my way. Karma is a thing and every now and than youāll receive luck to such an extent that you go wow this worked out. There will also be moments where things go wrong where you will make mistakes and youāll have to forgive yourself. I learned to love my shadow and I realized that you need both light and darkness in yourself in order to address a situation. Tell people no and leave those who fk you over. Slowly stop talking to people you realize donāt have your best interest. People will always tell you things but donāt listen to them. Most often than not people will spill lies from their mouth because itās convenient to them at the time. Trust only yourself and make moves that will benefit yourself. Take a job thatās easy to do and easy to get too. Donāt share bank accounts with no one, Ever. Be smart about what you do.

When I was a teen, I went through a very traumatic event that had me depressed for months. I was never really the person who got support from anyone: parents or friends. They all kind of ignored my feelings and I felt abandoned. And at the very lowest point I just randomly changed. I wasnāt shy. I was assertive, I was confident. I stopped caring about what I had valued and just started acting as if whatever I did didnāt matter so why bother trying to be āgoodā? It just kept growing and growing til it wasnāt assertivenessā¦it was aggression. It wasnāt confidence it was arrogance and I lost myself and couldnāt know what sprouted this changeā¦it took somebody I loved very much who had died to pull me back onto the right track. Then I learned about the shadow and some of Jung. And it made me cry when I realized I understood why I changed. I had taken too much way past the breaking point and when I snapped , when the part of me that was āgoodā became too weak the other half just erupted out. Like it took the lightsā place. Iām kind of obsessed with Jungs work now and plan on reading his biggest works. I think itās something we all should do,ā¦read a little of Jung. I donāt understand why Freud is like the face of psychology in highschool textbook and not Jungā¦

Iām going to be personal as an example of how Iām still learning to own my dark and how itās transforming my life.
A trait thatās negative that I have that I fight is extreme possessiveness when in relationships. Im very very jealous. My ego wants me to deny the fact im jealous and justify why how I feel is ok. Rather then face the fact that Iām a jealous person when in love but to a toxic point. Nobody wants to admit that theyāre too controlling or possessive or hypocritical. And Iām all of those things when I love someone. It took me a while to really realize the true source of why I feel intensely jealous over important people in my life. It stems from being neglected as a child, my foster care experiences, being in girls homes. You never truly feel cared about most of the time. And it grew into me clinging on and being codependent. But I never wouldāve been able to realize that about myself if I didnāt accept and confront the fact that I am indeed jealous. Jealousy is rooted in my shadow and when i look deeper into why I feel that feeling Iām able to handle the situation. But when I deny it it just makes me crazier. Thatās one of the many bad traits I have. I use this to transform my behaviors. For example, if I feel jealous. Instead of allowing it to eat me up and I act badly or manipulate my partner, I ask myself why I feel this way. Usually itās just lack of assurance, Iām a person that needs to be told and reassured a lot due to my past. So if days go by and I donāt feel much affection from my partner Iāll assume things. When in reality i grew up with lack of love so now I feel dependent on hearing someone assure me they wonāt leave, cheat way more than the average person. I can use my lack of love experiences to love somebody in the ways I needed.
You can also use the same tactic for envy. Everyone feels it. So donāt deny it. When somebody gets something that Iāve been wanting and the inner shadow wants me to get angry or upset or feel bad things toward the person getting what I want. I stop myself and I ask. Why do you feel this way? Me personally, my envy comes out when I feel that I work or am deserving of something and somebody else who is less deserving gets or has what I want easily when I have to struggle very hard. Iāll stop and ask myself why do I feel envious? Now that I know I feel envious consciously I can evaluate. Iāll start to remind myself that I donāt truly know the persons life. And just because they have something or get something doesnāt mean that I canāt achieve it for myself. I assure myself that I am also worthy of the things I desire but only when the time is right and to remember that everyone has seasons of happiness success and brokenness. I alert myself that being envious is a sign of low self esteem and I ask myself what part of me feels attacked that I feel envious over somebody elseās success? Even tho I do not sufffer from low self esteem. I am not as envious as I am jealous, but I do feel envy when i feel like things arenāt fair. I literally use the situation and by the time itās over Iām not even envious anymore and Iām able to be at peace with somebody else getting something I desire. And I use it as motivation and power by using that as a way to confirm that what I want whether itās a job money a partner, a body goal etc exists! Just because it doesnāt exist in my life fully yet doesnāt mean I should feel bad. Be happy that the things you want and desire exist even if itās not for you. You have the power to make and be whoever you want to be.

Ive never thought about this until a mushroom trip where i experienced an ego death. I was in my late 20's and unwittingly understanding my subcontious's darker aspects, were the only time ive experienced true meaning of a 'mathmatical spiritualism'. A Fractal universe where everything was ONE. It opened my mind to how people could be religious, and evil in the same heart.

My journey has started earlier this year. To become completely independent from all and to only rely on myself. I have always been in relationships, itās always been 50/50 but when it falls apart itās hard to pick yourself up.
I am done with this process. I left toxicity and moved to a new state penniless. Itās taken me about 6 months but I am finally about to get a car here and from there real independence will finally be achieved. I will no longer worry about others but only myself, this sounds selfish and it is. I have spent my entire life building up others and leaving myself broken. Itās time for me, itās time for myself to be repaired and be alone.

My shadow is a rage of anger. For years I became what everyone wanted me to be. But after years of it I began to grow angry. And I finally blew up my life went down hill and I didnāt know how to balance or control or help it. Iām now I finally have been able to finally balance it. Iām aware of what made my shadow. Iām aware of what triggers my shadow. This video really explain everything great and I needed this.

It is not the light element alone that does the healing; the place where light and dark begin to touch is the most profound religious experience we can have in life. :_eternalIPoM: Subscribe to newsletter: eternalisedofficial.com/subscribe Become a Patron (exclusive content): www.patreon.com/eternalised YouTube Member (exclusive content): youtube.com/channel/UCqos1tl0RntucGGtPXNxkkA/join Official Merch: eternalised.creator-spring.com/ Donate a Coffee: ko-fi.com/eternalised Transcript and artwork gallery: eternalisedofficial.com/2022/04/25/owning-your-ownā¦ Special thanks to my Patrons: Jay B, Evangelos Barakos, Lynne Benson, Jeanette, Mr X, Spirit Gun, Ramunas Cepaitis, Justin Raper, Ryon Brashear, Joanne Durkin, Kyle Schaffrick, Landon Bolts
