.........It’s Meant to Lose Authority. There’s a belief circulating in conscious and spiritual spaces that sounds radical, brave, even enlightened — but only at surface levels: “Let the darkness shine.” It lands emotionally. It feels rebellious. And yet… structurally, it quietly misses the point. 💥 Darkness does not shine. Consciousness does. Darkness isn’t a creative force. It isn’t buried wisdom waiting for permission. It isn’t a sacred rebel that needs a stage. Darkness is simply what exists where awareness hasn’t fully arrived yet. That may sound subtle — but it completely changes how real transformation works. When pain, shame, fear, grief, or rage enter awareness, they don’t become luminous. They become visible. And visibility is not glorification. Visibility is what allows coherence to return. Think of the body 🧠 A wound doesn’t heal because we admire it, analyze it endlessly, or build an identity around it. It heals when circulation returns — when warmth, oxygen, and attention reach tissue that was cut off. The healing isn’t the wound shining. It’s life re-entering what was constrained. 🤔 This is where a lot of shadow work quietly goes off the rails. Honoring pain ≠ elevating it. Seeing a pattern ≠ giving it authority. Naming something ≠ reorganizing it. Yes — pain can reveal truth. Yes — trauma can point to rupture. Yes — suffering can signal misalignment. But none of those are meant to lead. Here’s the part that doesn’t get said loudly enough: 💥 Your shadow is not a second self that needs expression. It’s a misaligned structure that needs coherence. When awareness reaches it, the shadow doesn’t glow ✨ It loses leverage. Not through rejection. Not through force. Not through spiritual bypass. But through understanding — the kind that reorganizes the system instead of dramatizing it. 🤔This is why insight alone so often fails. You can understand your patterns. You can articulate your wounds beautifully. You can “own your shadow.” And still feel hijacked under pressure....

I am the seeker and I am also the guidance along the path... One of the many things that I'm grateful for is the knowledge & wisdom that people share. They are either inspired, find a book, or someone shares hidden, "occult" information. The secrets of the universe. I think we all subconsciously have the wisdom inside of us already. Our higher selves know. But school, society dumbs us down, teaches us to Not think for ourselves. To Not trust our intuition or our dreams. We continue to look for answers, ask questions. THEN someone drops a seed of knowledge, shares a kernel of wisdom, puts some of the puzzle pieces together and we glimpse a bigger picture. And we begin to examine long held beliefs that were indoctrinated into us since birth. And that someone has the ability to state this information so clearly, so practically, that it clicks. (like Rey 💐) It could be multiple "someones"; they read a book, they attend a gathering, watch a video, hear someone else say it. And they SHARE it. The information takes root and blooms for everyone who desires it. That someone doesn't have all the answers. And you may know something that they don't have a clue about. You are their student. Share your wisdom and become their teacher as well.
