The Light Of The Living Shadow

by Aang Aakha,
Contributing Writer,In5D.com

To understand our shadow, we have to understand polarities. Within the polarities is the wholeness or the completeness. The Yin-Yang symbol is a beautiful and profound representation of this wholeness. Archetypes of the Yin-Yang represent: Love/Fear, Masculine/Feminine, Electric/Magnetic, Light/Darkness(Shadow), Good/Evil, Right/Wrong etc.

These polarities are inherent in all of us, we are the sum of all experiences, everything. Within us exist the light and the dark, the light is all that is known to us and the dark is the shadow. The conscious and the unconscious. With all of our choices, we ‘believe’ that we are in control and making them consciously, yet there is a strong unconscious influence. These choices are influenced by undercurrents such as belief systems, society, culture and experiences growing up. To understand more about ourselves, we have to look at that part of us where most of us choose not to venture to.

We have two worlds, an inner world and an outer world. Our inner world is personal to us, our feelings, our ideas, our visions, all that we experience within ourselves. Our outer world is all our experiences relative to us. How we experience and interact in the outer world, our relationships with individuals, to the environment, with others, with objects, home, money, possessions, with society… we can use both these worlds to help us better understand ourselves, it is all relative to what our intentions are.

Life is full of experiences and we have the ability to influence them, this is done through choice, each choice creates a different experience. It is our perceptions that shape what we take from these experiences. Some experiences are judged good, whereas others are judged bad, yet an experience that may be “bad” for one, may be “good” for another. They are all relative based on our particular outlook of reality. As we evaluate our choices, we notice that our choices resonate to specific patterns and behaviours.

We are living in a world where we are now able to see how these choices affect our experiences, we are becoming more aware, starting to see patterns and behaviours. Understanding our shadow will be a great asset in understanding our experiences.

The Inner World

The human body is energetic in nature and within the self, all light exists. All frequencies and vibrations are inclusive of light and the shadow. It is a natural behaviour to resonate to all things fun, all things joy and all things light. It is very easy to reject the shadow, experiences that create pain, shame, anger, isolation, judgments, and all things dark. Yet the shadow is an integral part of self, it cannot be denied, the more we deny our shadow, the more intense our experiences become.

The Outer World

The outer world at times can seem extremely harsh when we are facing our shadow. It will seem very conflicted, experiencing peace in some aspects and total conflict in other areas of our lives. The outer world is a reflection of our inner world, giving us a wonderful mechanism, which is like a viewing window and perception into our inner lives.

Our experiences become more meaningful, we begin to notice a tangible shift on how we respond to certain experiences. Interactions and experiences that previously brought us pain are looked at now with a smile and even a giggle. We become aware of our experiences and our own personal triggers and we are not afraid to look at ourselves anymore.

The light of our shadow becomes a formidable force, supports us on all levels, we become stronger, more confident, we begin to see all experiences as just experiences, removing all labeling, removing all tagging. We become content, peaceful, seeing ourselves in a new light, a more complete light.

A great way of understanding our space is to look at all of the seemingly difficult experiences that we may be having. Here are a few examples to help us understand, letting our emotions be our guide:

Always remember that we are living both consciously and unconsciously. As we begin to see the light of our shadow, we inadvertently become responsible for all our experiences, the blame game disappears and we take charge of our reality. This is by no means a complete understanding of Self, life is a process of experiencing oneself through different levels of maturity, it is organic, and it is fluid and forever expanding.
