Embrace

There is something that I have noticed, something that I just have not yet begin to understand why. I mean, I have noticed that I have a pattern of pushing people that love me away. Especially when that said person penetrates depths of my heart that I never knew existed. Then as you start to dive into the depths, one sees how the that idea can affect the other chakras. Or how your heart space being connected through out your entire body. But we start to see a whole new world that lies within, a world that we thought we knew but really had no idea at all what actually lies within.

The heart space contains so much of our own inner wisdom, almost seems like one can never truly learn everything that can be taught. Maybe that is the reason why we have consistently came back to this realm? To continue learning? That’s why I feel like I keep returning. But you see, we can see the different paths in our hearts, almost as if our hearts hold our souls library of our past. So may be that is what many mean by learning who you truly are. Learning all the knowledge that we carry with out even knowing it. But, now with the heart space being expanded, wouldn’t that mean that our awareness of our shadow self-grow as well? This is something that we must give some of our attention, or energy, to as well.

With our capacity to love, our capacity to hurt grows as well. Or at least the individual now becomes more aware of what they have bottled up in their shadow self. You see, our hearts are dark as we explore them because we have left them and moved to our shadow, which then we operate out of our ego rather than the complete opposite. As we start to venture this path. One starts to see why it has been darkened. Usually, it is because of trauma of some sort, that can usually be traced to childhood. This is an event we are neglecting to with because I caused us to bottle up something. As you get older than dark impulses are created to subdue this emotion and reasoning. Either way, the moral of this. We must be willing to acknowledge the shadow as much as we are willing to accept the authentic. The reason why is because we can not have good with out bad, but being willing to control the shadow and not let it show, this is mastery upon mental state. Your controlling your thoughts, desires, actions and even down to beliefs.

Then something else that we have to learn is to notice that there is never ending exploring, healing and knowledge to be found that lay within both. Your heart and your shadow self. Both of these spaces need to be explored and given attention through the lens of love. This is when things start to break up, shatter, just in perfect time for the new to come in, and fix everything with the light. We can never forget that the dark exists. When we start to fixate on just the good that is happening, we tend to neglect our shadow. And it can be our shadow that is trying to teach us something that we are just looking in the wrong place. If we neglect our shadow for to long then the individual is going to start creating destructive habits. So, we must not neglect our shadow self, but embrace it. Just as much as we try to do with our authentic self.
