Subject: [K-list] The Shadow
From: whimsicalzephyr
On 2002/09/04 02:05, whimsicalzephyr posted thus to the K-list: Hello everybody,
I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to confront and
embrace one's Shadow. I've come to the conclusion that a meeting with
mine is imminent and that I am being prepared for it right now. In
face, I was contemplating posting this and out of nowhere pops this
spider!! Now, anyone who's read my posts know that spiders are one of
the things I loathe and fear most in the world, but that I am still
madly fascinated by them. Not to mention that they show up as portal
guardians and guides. I've got one trapped under a Root Beer glass
right now and will bring it outdoors later. Whenever I meditate, or
read my Tarot cards, or interpret my dreams, they all suggest I need
to meet with my Shadow and unite the polarity within myself. I know
for some spiritual evolution comes after a long stint with the Light.
Mine, however, seems to be driven by the dark side of me. I think I
need to become intimately aquainted with the Dark before I really get
to know the Light. Which is fairly apt if you know me. Even when I'm
radiantly happy I still have this sardonic, mocking energy about me.
And I like being around happy people, but they majorly bring out the
devil in me!! Their sunshine just makes me want to rain on them.
Balance and all, I guess.
Is there any truly safe way to meet with one's dark side? I'm just
terrified I'll get warped into a dark plane full of spiders and bugs
crawling on me. Not to mention other unmentionable things. You know,
scary devils and monsters and stuff. Although when I have visions of
red dudes with horns and lasciviousness, I just recognize them as
manifestations of my muladhara chakra these days. Anyway, if anyone
knows any rituals, meditations, etc to do this without going crazy,
I'd appreciate the feedback. Thanks.
Sabrina
