When you think about “darkness”, it’s kinda like…

A scammer.

Evil will never admit to you…

That it is what it is.

It only exists as long as it can convince you to believe in the illusion it creates.

When they say…

“God works in mysterious ways”

The “mystery” is the darkness.

Because to be mysterious is to be misunderstood.

You don’t see clearly what is going on.

The moment you realize the truth about something…

It stops being a mystery because the light of awareness has returned.

So if darkness is a mystery… let’s shine some light on it.

First we must overstand that darkness…

Is a feminine force.

You already know that society has rejected feminine energy for a long time.

But this is duality.

You cannot truly reject femininity.

If you don’t make room for nurture, regeneration, etc.

Then feminine forces will make room for themselves through the shadow side.

Like…

Deception, coercion, and manipulation.

These things don’t have power on their own.

Like maybe… strength or intelligence.

Instead…

Their power comes from the ability to distort your perception of your strength… or intelligence

They change reality by creating an illusion of it…

In your mind.

It deceives you into believing something is real by imitating what you desire.

Take the shadow of a tree for example.

It is not really the tree.

And if you shine a light from 360 degres of angle against the tree.

There will be no shadow.

But the more angles of light you take away…

The more shadows appear.

These shadows will distort what you think you see about the tree.

By changing the shape, size, texture etc.

And if you know the story of Plato’s cave…

You know how deceiving illusions can be.

When you think more about it…

This is why evil is more simply…

Ignorance.

It is the lack of awareness about what is true, and in higher order.

I don’t think you would disagree…

But we have a very ignorant society.

Which is why you see shadows… all over the place.

We chase “financial freedom”…

But financial freedom… is not real freedom.

It is a shadow of real freedom.

You think it makes you free, but it only makes you partially free.

You still a need license to drive, and to pay taxes, etc. etc.

Or another example…

Maybe you’re rooting for someone.

➥ Sports team
➥ Contestant
➥ Politician

When they win, you think you have won something.

So you go home happy that day.

But you haven’t really won anything.

Nor have you done anything.

This is a shadow.

You wanted to feel the happiness of winning.

So you accepted the illusion of winning…

By watching someone else win.

Society is littered with these shadows that make you feel like your experience and emotions are real.

But they are shadows.

➥ Social media
➥ Healthcare
➥ Reality TV
➥ Insurance
➥ Savings
➥ Sports
➥ Laws

None of these things truly offer what you think they do.

Even tho many people say it…

Your “work family” is not a real family.

It’s an illusion

They say..

Success equals happiness.

But it’s also an illusion.

Happiness equals happiness.

Buying into this illusion is giving permission for someone else to abuse your time and energy.

With the hopes that you’ll get something out of it at the end.

But wait a minute…

Happiness is something that you create.

This idea has essentially stolen an experience from you…

And sold it back at a higher price.

Again…

More and more illusions.

If you want to overcome the shadow.

You won’t get far by trying to see the shadow.

Because remember it’s mysterious.

It will always change shape.

Instead…

If you want to overcome the shadow, you have to know the light.

You have to know what real looks like… what truth looks like.

How would you ever recognize a fake iPhone…

If you never saw a real one?

Or fake luxury shoes?

Only once you have witness the real thing.

Will you be able to spot the fakes.

When it comes to teachers… leaders… and anyone you want to give your attention.

Learn to recognize what the light looks like

Don’t buy into the echo of what is real.

➥ Jesus
➥ Krishna
➥ Buddha

These are real teachers and leaders.

If you want to learn how to spot something worth giving your attention.

Ask yourself if it looks like them.

If it doesn’t… your buying into an echo of the real thing.

The echo always wants to inject more into the equation.

➥ Work / Life Balance ≠ Balance
➥ Online Privacy ≠ Privacy
➥ Luxury Living ≠ Living
➥ Healthy Diet ≠ Health
➥ Reality TV ≠ Reality

Deception is getting harder to spot these days.

Because everyone knows how to say the right words…

And use the right phrases.

That pull on your heart string

BUt look deeper

What is the intention, and where is it sending your attention.

If you can learn to read the energy behind things.
