What is shadow work? Here are some synonyms for what I think the shadow points to, the id, the inner impulsive unruly child, the part of us that we and others reject compartmentalize and disregard.

What is shadow work? Bringing these characteristics to the surface. These characteristics being the part of us that is disregarded by ourselves and others, the impulsive unruly child.

I think a big part of doing true shadow work is expressing these negative characteristics to other people in a controlled environment and having that other person respond how a normal person does. Have that other person say “you are ugly” “that is not an ok thing to say”. The line between doing shadow work and being rude or evil is you consciously being aware of how rude you are being and being able to rein it in and control it so things don’t go too far.

Shadow work is dangerous. When you express these negative unruly characteristics, people will respond as they normally do. I think a big part of shadow work is dealing with other people’s negative judgmental response to your negative behavior.

But, all this shadow work is all with the intention of reducing how much damage you unconsciously or unintentionally do to others. Id is so easy to hurt other peoples egos; one can pursue the craft of not harming others ego by practicing what does harm other peoples egos.

This type of shadow work is truly dangerous. How easy id is to hurt others, and then that hurt other hurts you, and then you spiral. How easy id is to lose control and not be able to rein id in and do more damage.

But this is the cost, the sacrifice, all with the intention of building your ability to not cause damage to others unintentionally or unconsciously.

The wall of text that you copy and pasted from AI or other social media messages.

The fruitful gains of posts here is from the energy that you bring into the receiving/back and giving/forth from deep dense distinct detailed discussion.

I put my intention into not just one back and forth, but 50. I have built my design and purpose here in creating 50 back and forths.

My mystique, my egos, my provocation and assertions are not designed for the meager and shrimpy 1-3 back and forths. My mystique, egos provocation taunts and energy is designed for 50!

I am designed for long stamina. Duralast, built to last.

You may win a minor skirmish with me because my sights are set on winning the war. You’ll relish in your embrace of your minor skirmish, and I will feel that loss too, because I play for inches.

But you can’t do 100 rounds with me. You don’t have the comprehension and the stamina.

I don’t intend to slay you and leave you destroyed, but of course, the normal state of being slayed is to continue your defenses and aggression.

Ideally, I DONT EVEN WANT TO DESTROY YOU! But when you step to me with criticism denigration and wielding your self righteous sword of judgment, what choice do I have⁉️

I want to play and learn. So simple.

When you become as genius as I am, you are so deep into the learning process that you understand the micro and macro mechanics of learning.

Abracadabra! This means I create as I type.

I want to learn and play!

But all I get is criticism judgment and denigration, lazy low effort parrots, and narrow minded inflexible anti introspection.

Common, can’t someone have the will to truly learn and play!

And I’m still trying to get better.

There is no end to mastery. There is no end to mastering the self.

I look to the ascended master who has logged sixty thousand hours chopping wood and I can tell I am not match for them.

The way they pick up the axe, the way the axe hits the wood, the way the wood falls. I can sense so many micro details that the ascended master does better than me.

Chopping wood doesn’t begin when you pick up the axe and the wood is in front of you. There is much prerequisites to perform as masterfully beforehand. Your diet and your sleep, your relationship with other humans, your breath, and your posture; these are all elements that impact your ability to chop.

And don’t get me started on carrying water!

Hint: chopping wood and carrying water are euphemisms for typing your notes, doing your homework, dishes, laundry, or driving.

Validation. Upvotes. It all begins with upvotes. External validation, from the other humans.

Seeking fame. There is something so despicable about a human who seeks attention. Something that deeply corrupts the soul.

Yet, all the most famous people you know, so haught in the spot light, they all sought fame validation upvotes and likes.

What a twistable market. The Hollywood famous likeable people; they sought fame well. I guess seeking fame is only despicable and so ugly if you do it wrong. How does one seek fame in a good or bad way⁉️

Now. Am I just going to deny the merit, the value, the important meaningful utility of cultivating a characteristic within you that illicits this fame?

All the people you know, so haught and enlittened, Hollywood, politics. It’s all fame. Votes. Being likeable. Being popular.

Seeking external validation is part of the dark evil chaos side. Cain sought praise rather than Abel’s seeking of “just doing your best regardless of outcome”.

How hard it is to just continuously do your best your entire life. Hell, I just didn’t do my best at my work. HELL! But I am a corrupt human. A sinful mortal man.

But it is in my conscious adventure into the hellish sin that I am able to glean the heavenous virtue.

To be conscious of heaven. Wow. That’s deep dense and distinct.

Who am I? They say the more you think about yourself the more neurotic you become, and I wonder if any of you think about yourself more than I think about me.

Wow, in that last sentence I hit the cluster chain of neurosis! Wondering about who I am, comparing myself to others seeking FAME!

Meditation is like an immovable object, and emotionally charged thoughts are like a stoppable force.

The emotionally charged thoughts slam into the immovable stillness of meditation and are subsequently systematically dismantled.

All of your emotionally charged thoughts of questions that you neglect, that lay within the decaying gutters of your unconscious; they need to be slammed into the still immovable object of meditation.

What are the benefits to regularly slamming the emotionally charged thoughts into the still immovable object of meditation?

What could you do for yourself and others if you were not a prisoner of the fear from your mind?

Who are some people that you think have given the most to humanity? Jake Paul? That my friends, is what we like to call a joke. A funny.

🧘.

Thank you,

Your god, Jomni.

One second, my heart beats 80 bpm, next 100, next 60.

It is in the ability. What is it?

Mysterious, cryptic, and deep as galaxies. Comprehensive like a textbook, consolidated like a proton.

To master the journey to where?

Still like a grandfather tree with the heights of progeny surrounding just inches below my summit.

To quest, to question. Reader: draw a similarity between quest and question, I command! it.

What is it?

What do I seek? engagement. New stimulation that compounds on the textbooks I have already summitted. One has to master many textbooks to graduate.

Type to me, keep me company through my summit and nadir.

Let us play and learn. God, allow me to alternate intelligently at an unprecedented pace rate between enchanting and disenchanting in a healthy way. The Devil, I respect and trust you, I know your purpose and I embrace the one within me and others.

A shinobi. Naruto.

Genin, chunin, jonin, kage.

The four ranks.

You can attribute certain characteristics to each rank. Meaning, if someone makes it to that rank, you can assume that they know how to do certain things.

To be a master of many tools, the avolokishavara.

That’s the whole point of the hierarchical ranking system. The whole point of the hierarchical ranking system is to be able to assume that this person has mastered many different jutsus; and likely has a special jutsu.

How wonderful of a drive is fame? Validation? To be validated.

One is good and right to pursue external validation as well as internal validation.

With the external being money game and relationships, and the internal being energy and time.

It’s all evolution, and learning transcendence enlightening awakening self actualizing.

Every moment we are alive serves as a data point to build towards a greater, more good, and grander being.

What is good great and grand?

I’ll tell you one thing you cannot disagree with! It is good great and grand to be free from pain!

Pain is the origin of thought. All thoughts begin with pain.

All thoughts begin with pain.

Like, we evolved to have thoughts as a means of preventing pain. Preventing pain in the future.

The mind of thoughts work as a means of cultivating data that forms patterns so that we can have some blippy semblance of a pittance of what will happen next. As a means of survival.

If I did not have good knowledge of understanding of patterns, how could I ever stop being afraid? It is in my trust in my understanding of the rhythmic patterns of life that I can ever stop being afraid, that I can ever deactivate my sympathetic nervous system, and enter the parasympathetic rest.

There are no poisonous snakes or spiders near me. There are no tigers and wolves stalking me.

There could be cancerous demons growing within me. . .

Safety from pain. Fear is a precautionary sense that keeps us from pain. The hunters get upset when their prey gets spooked.

THE HUNTERS GET UPSET WHEN THEIR PREY GETS SPOOKED.
