Contradictions of the Shadow Self

— ginjaa-ninjahOkay i can see where you are coming from, let’s put it this way, it’s not that i don’t believe spirits exist do not get me wrong but i don’t believe Demons truly exist in physical form. It’s the same concept if you were to trip on psychedelics and have a bad trip. What happens during a bad trip is it presents to you your psychological insecurities in the form of delusions and symbols of your subconscious. So I’ll give an example a lovely Crystal gave to me(i hope she doesn’t mind) She was seeing these shadow people who wanted them to come with her, as she felt each of their emotions separately instead of following them she walked away. In reality these Shadow people were not literal or physically Shadow people, they were a symbol of her subconscious mind depicting that she was leaving part of her Ego body and emotions behind her.

In this same way I don’t fully believe this Rock was possessed, it was a symbol or talisman of your inner fears you were releasing. We have to think of these things as if we are truly living within a dream inside a dream. For instance if we break this down, Your friend gave you the rock and throughout time you had these experiences of fear while having the rock, then when you decided to “bury it” and give it away, these fears i’m assuming stopped? And your White Witch girfriend at the time says it was called Oblivion. Oblivion is known as the void space, our unconscious, The unconscious is home to our fears. Really what i am getting at with the concept of the shadow self is that this is purely perspective. The rock is you. It is a part of you which is why it generated a reaction from you and why you needed to bury it. It’s a symbol of the confrontation of the Shadow and you yourself facing your fears and insecurities. There was truly no demon, this was merely a vision from your mind personified into an object of your understanding. I remember one time when i first got my tarot deck and i experienced this crazy static noise from my voice recorder, i thought there was a ghost inside my deck or that it was possessed. Over time, i learned that it wasn’t a ghost at all, it was merely myself and my own energy which i didn’t understand at the time. This is the same concept if people who are tripping and say they see dragons and snake climbing the walls. This is their own insecurities personified in the form of symbols, like a vision. The power is always within the mind and how we see, how we control the energy, our perspective of life and how it generates and personifies into our waking reality. In time you will see that it wasn’t the demon that possessed the rock, It was you who possessed the rock.

hope this helps

Much love <3
