How To Notice The Voice Inside Your Head
Mar 15, 2025 2:01 pm
Especially when you're not naturally aware of it..
Practically, what does a shadow mean?
It's like the part of you that we don't usually pay attention to..
Right, everyone looks at you.. Not at your shadow..
What's really wild is.. Your shadow is the real you.
The artificial you is the one who wants to conform.
To:
-please others
-not trigger anyone
-fit in and receive external praise
-be liked and approved by society and family
That's the you that is false.
But that's what most humans do their whole lives.
Reality is, Truth is more about understanding what you're not.
Living a petty, small, life built upon ambition and achievement is artificial.
The true integration of your shadow means you pay attention to it.
The parts of you which only you know about..
The you that arises when you're alone..
See, that's who you REALLY are.
Yet, the majority of humans run from their shadow.
This is why people are so addicted to entertainment.
To hooking up.
To always being with friends.
But oh man.. Once you begin to attend to your shadow..
That's when you really start living life.
So please, create space to be alone.
Go into the forest and walk..
Sit down and stretch in silence or with instrumental music..
Create space to hear your shadow.
Trust me, it's there.
Once you see that your mind is constantly chattering..
You can start to learn about the nature of your conditioning..
You can see who you think yourself to be.
This depth deepens as you do the work.
The shadow's opacity get's clearer..
Then the light is more dominant in your system.
Hence Buddha, Allah and Christ.
They spread the light, because they did the work.
You have the light within you too.
So.. do the work.
It's your life.
It's your story.
Why not write it to it's fullest.
