Loving The Shadow, Tales Of Truth
Look at her in all her messy, ugly, beautiful, powerful, incredible, troubling, shameful, mighty truth...
I want to share about something I intensely love about my Shadow (and yours), and that is it always tells the truth.
I love that when I tap in, and I really get down in the darkness with her, she will tell me the fucking truth about me. She does not care if it is good, bad, ugly, magickal, hideous or flat out evil… She will tell me. Just like yours will tell you.
While they try to get our attention through our triggers, projections, humor, explosive/stagnant emotions, insidious and chronic cycles of thought, and our patterns of avoidance or resistance… We don’t always pay attention.
These symptoms, these cries for attention… They are not the truth, but they are invitations to move in closer to the truth.
If we pay attention to the symptoms and step into that deep and fucking scary abyss… We will find the tap root of those symptoms, and be presented with the opportunity to learn some truth about ourselves.
Not the truth about the world, other people, or situations/circumstances... But the truth about who we are. Deeper truths.
Today's Scorpio Dark Moon is highly supportive of loving our Shadow sides.
There is an invitation for us to look at our jealousy, desire for control and/or power, addictions, compulsions, secrets, lies, and any other thing that may reside at the underbelly of our consciousness.
This Moon phase carries a mirror in her dominant hand and points it to the root of our unconscious actions.
Ninety-five percent of what we say, do, think, and believe during the course of our lives is unconscious... Peering into the mirror helps us to understand ourselves, and ultimately others, in more meaningful ways.
When we observe things inside ourselves that make us cringe we must be willing to accept these things as they are in all their messy, ugly, beautiful, powerful, incredible, troubling, shameful, mighty truth, as this is how we can take back the drivers seat from them and they no longer have unconscious control.
Avoidance and resistance are futile. The truth will come back with a vengeance, demanding to be seen. Stomping its heavy foot, in a tantrum of righteous exasperation.
"See me! I have so many tales to tell!"
It is in receiving, piecing through, and ultimately accepting these tales that we finally have the opportunity to make deliberate choices for ourselves in the thick of triggering experiences... We can do so because our conscious minds are in right relationship with deeper truths about those symptoms.
Ahhhh, how I love my Shadow for all she has held onto, all she has suffered, and all she has taught me. I invite any experience of pain that might be ushered in with this Dark Moon because I know it will empower the way I show up consciously, bettering my life and strengthening my Soul.
Tell me more... Tell me more.
