RE: Claiming Your Divine Birthright

in #spirituality7 years ago

I love that you bring up the topic of darkness. I also think, that shadow work is important - at least until you reach a point, where you leave duality and the 3D/4D realm all together.
I sense, that this a much deeper topic and I'll need to write about this in a future article. I guess, we both have found a new topic to write about 😀

Thank you for your support, reading and commenting in such an authentic and comprehensive way. Much Love! ❤️

Yes, within duality these concepts arise. I do want to draw a keen distinction between what I'm talking about and "shadow work." I think what people mean when they say that is embrace of the negative, of what is unwanted, of the bad, if you will. That is the opposite of what I mean.

That is still putting a personality to the dark, still giving it a "color" of its own. It has none. It is none. It is the absence of what has been given form, not just another form to be embraced. It is the void from which we emerge as the pulse of light, again and again.

It is not 'yin and yang,' which is an important duality concept in its own right. The Dark is that which comes before duality, except when we relate to it through time, because we are that empty, formless, infinite potential expressing itself in time. That is when we are light emerging as form. And then we center again in that which is before light, before form.

So we experience this as happening in time because we are coming from a dualistic awareness. But it is not defined by how we experience it.

Thank you for your wonderful comment and explaining what you mean. Last year, I wrote an article about Kali, the dark mother and void aspect (in German - I maybe should translate it or at least parts into English in the future). I have had many visits by the dark mother in my life...

The dialogue we have here is ancient in a way. What is "the first principle"? Is it darkness or the light?
Kali and Shiva "discussed" this a long time ago 😉Shiva, as the unmovable embodyment of divine light and consciousness was sitting on his mountain in meditation and Kali was disturbing his peace by devouring the world. A questionable hobby if you ask me... maybe it was some form of hormonal unbalance or her husband forgot to bring out the trash. Anyway...
Humor was not one of Shivas strengths, or he was simply pissed about the trash thing. So what followed was a war. I guess, you have heard about this story and I want to spare you the bloody details...

Below you can see a picture, Kali posted on her Instagram the day the battle was over...
