Dear Fellow Traveller,

Some people use band-aids and treat symptoms. Some address the wound and treat the causes. Some brush by greatness, others sustain greatness.

We can raise our personal frequency in myriad ways; however, the goal could be to sustain a certain degree of frequency instead. Low vibe stuff needs to be let go of, like weights holding us down, in order to sustain our efforts in expanding our consciousness and raise our frequency.  

Shadow work isn’t a quick fix, like listening to a vibrating bowl, or wearing an amethyst necklace. It’s a method for healing, by addressing the root causes of our characters diss-eases.

Consider this book a framework that you can add your knowledge too. I’m not advocating to change your life; rather, provide your character with more Points Of View, so you can make knowledgable, informed descisions.  

Imagine before your character was placed on the game board, you planned out your journey. You created a blue-print for influencing certain experiences.  Now imagine that the “blue-print” is being projected by a part of yourself, onto a 3 dimensional screen, where your character acts out a story.

Your character is conscious of itself too.  Just like the part of yourself projecting the “Image.”  The only difference between the two focal points of consciousness is a deliberate inducing of amnesia for the character at birth, making it unaware, or unconscious of the parts of it that are projecting said character.  

Just to make things interesting.

This book has two sections. Mental Work and Emotional Work.

Now let’s change the word “Work” to “Practice”. Allow ourself to be like little children and have fun; instead of, working like fools at something we don’t want to do.

A piano virtuoso practices the piano with joy and enthusiasm. A young athlete practices her skills. A martial artist, always the learner, never the master, practices his art.

So too is the art of character and reality creation. Playing a character is a lot like playing an instrument.  It takes balance, harmony, rhythm and ratio.  

So, you've had enough and feel you want the journey to come to conclusion.

A spiritual journey can be many things, defined in many ways. Since before I can remember, I’ve consciously endeavoured to take ALL the different “things” being said about Spirituality and see how they fit together as a whole.

As each spiritual “thing” caught my attention, I viewed it as a puzzle piece and when I ‘processed’ certain things together, like building a puzzle, I trained my self to OBSERVE a larger picture, consequently expanding my consciousness in the same process.

However; I soon realized that some of the puzzle pieces I needed to balance out the whole, were hidden behind all the 'things' I was avoiding in my day to day.

My character in the game is akin to; 'Spirit in action.' my day to day activities are showing me what I'm projecting outward, from my own inner thoughts, emotions, and the widly overlooked necessity of our own breath.

Upon accepting this truth, I knew I would need courage to accept responsibility for my day to day experiences. Observe everything I was doing, not just taking time aside to observe things when I was in meditation, because many of the puzzle pieces I was looking for, could only be found in my day to day experiences.

Sleep walking through my day, or being distracted from my SELF, meant that I was missing out on a lot of the things I needed to raise my frequency and expand my consciousness. But, that understanding wasn’t able to come about until I had gathered enough clues, to piece together, in order to SEE that larger picture. It’s kind of a chicken and egg thing.

When I decided to incorporate my spiritual practice into my day to day, I WAS able to gather enough clues with nothing but observation. SEEING that larger picture gives me ample motivation to journey along a Spiritual path, because regardless what I need to learn, or do, to serve the light, surrendering to Spirits process makes things easier.

See the Larger Picture

The widest perspective is found by looking inside myself. Its our own thoughts, feelings, and behavioral practices that project outward for My 'character,' in the game. My character is a conscious focal point for the multi dimentional Being that I AM in my totality. An inword focal point is like being in the exact center of a sphere, looking outward in every conceivable direction, essentially turning ALL subjective Points of View into ONE objective POV.

Secondly, I knew I’d need a shit tonne of faith, because at that point I hadn’t a clue what the big picture looked like, but needed to trust there was one in order to work toward it, without knowing what the outcome would look like. That took a few years of mental gymnastics to figure out all on it’s own.

So my major contribution to the story involves showing people how to fit pieces together, in order to see the finished puzzle. In this letter you’ll find some of the “clues,” or “puzzle pieces” I’ve gathered regarding shadow work, and easy ways to incorporate a spiritual practice into your day to day affairs; instead of, ONLY taking time away from daily affairs to work on spirituality.

Endeavouring to do so, is what brings about the changes we desire in our societal experiences. You project the reality you are experiencing with thought, word and deed. To adjust the outward experience happens when you adjust the polarity of your own vibe, and I’m going to show you just how easy it is to do that, by understanding two words. Power and Force. But it may take a bit of writing and reading to get there.

The “Control Mechanism” creates an environment of low vibratory frequencies in a myriad of ways. Creating a ‘field’ of energy contained within a certain ‘band width.’ ALL of these low vibratory frequencies are created with ‘Forceful’ means. When we get caught up, or stuck, in one of these vibratory fields we project the reality 'THEY' want to experience and really don’t care how we experience it.

They create a lot of fear, anger, frustration and so on, simply so we vibrate at a certain low frequency that FEEDS them, allowing the survival, of not only they’re control mechanism, but they’re very own existence. I encourage you to observe what they’re doing; instead of, believing it as YOUR reality. It’s the reality THEY want. Don’t comply with what THEY want. Don’t allow your SELF to get distracted.

Lets start with one of my favourite quotes, breaking it down into a list, then add a few pieces here and there and see if we can’t see “things” a little more clearly. For fun let’s agree; the quote below is the shortest way to bring the journey to conclusion, but also agree that it represents an ‘extremity’ of all the infinite ways to reach home. ie. The Shortest Way.

Now if there is the shortest way, there must also be: The Longest Way. Our personal journey represents where we lie in ‘degree’ to one of these poles at they’re extremity. The closer I push my self toward the extremities listed below, like a seed pushes itself through the soil to reach the light, the quicker, I’ll ascend into my Christ Consciousness. ie. Return home, free of all struggle.

REMEMBER: There isn’t any right or wrong. Only ‘polar opposites’ in seek of balance.

Maintain the State of Undistractedness

How can we use this list in conjunction with our day to day?

For fun, let's make the list above our goal, and the list below a method for helping achieve our goal without becoming hermits, or needing to go through massive personal upheaval to get there. It’s the old question:

“What did Buddha do before she became a Buddha? She washed dishes. What did she do after she became a Buddha? She washed Dishes.” It does not matter what you DO in your day to day that will help you reach enlightenment, it only matters how well you observe what you do.

I contend that our inner world projects outward, reflecting back to us, against the ‘Things’ we see in our experiences. The inner world consists of three things; thoughts, feelings and breathing. The trinity of Thought, Word, Deed.

To have an experience, all three things must happen, whether or not they happen in balance and ratio is a different story. All “problems” are simply Things out of balance. They happen because we are unaware, or otherwise un-conscious of one, or all parts . Being conscious of the trinity allows Things back into ballance.

REMEMBER: Life isn’t something you do, it’s something you allow. Shadow work; therefore, is just another thing to allow by paying attention to your inner world during your day to day experiences and interactions with things reflecting your inner projections back to you.

One more step before we get to the list below. First, let’s define a our understanding of ‘shadow work’ so we can use the list below with some confidence. Not only that, incorporating the list into your day to day, becomes our new To-Do list. You’ll find that allowing your Self to grow, trumps all the little mundane tasks we all use to keep these corporeal frames on the game board, because its the powerful and natural way to live according to who you are in the ultimate sense.

Shadows: The dense aspects within each of us that ‘weigh’ us down. No matter how much we raise our frequency with spiritual practise, it’s a challenge to sustain things, let alone go even higher, because there still remains dense, low vibe, ‘stuff’ we need to let go of. Think of a hot air balloon, tethered to the ground, The ropes (beliefs/shadows) must be let go of, in order that we sail into the air and observe a wider perspective.

Think of shadow’s as ‘Forceful’ ‘Things.” What we want to do in our day to day is transform ALL those forceful things in our lives into powerful things, just by changing our point of view of the same thing. There is a forceful way to do things that holds us back, and there are powerful EQUIVALENTS that set us free.

When we criticize, we can use the words we are using to criticize as an indicator of one of our own shadows. Some things will be much harder to shine light on than others. That’s why there are other virtues hero’s need, such as strength and courage.

The key thing to remember; when you see a shadow...STOP and make damn sure you ask yourself: “What AM I to learn, remember, or remind myself, from this experience?”

Where is the light coming from? Within? Or Without?

For me it was always easy to discern the direction because my first teacher told me always listen to my heart. “The heart always knows,” she would say. If my heart was all astir I always knew to stop and pay attention, that there was something about the shadow before me that I needed to understand. If the feeling was somewhere other than my heart chakra, after sighting one, I also new to leave sleeping dogs lay. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Sometimes it takes a lot of examples for our guides to get the message through though. Thus those feedback loops people talk about. But with the list below you can have a reference for anytime you catch yourself criticizing, and with a bit of courage and determination you can adjust your POV from a forceful one into a powerful one, raising your frequency, and expanding your consciousness in the same easy process.

REMEMBER: Our outward reality is a reflection of what we are projecting from within. Criticism helps us identify the Forceful things we are projecting. Once you transform the forceful ‘Word” into it’s powerful equivalent, those types of people and experiences won’t show up in your reality anymore.

I mean shit is still going to be happening, but now you’re just observing the shit, instead of participating in it.

Example: Say you come across a person you think is condescending. You catch yourself and realize you just criticized someone. Often the criticism is just some kind of broad dislike. With introspection, narrow it down to one word, then take the word over to the list and I bet you find it on the “Forceful” side of the ledger. That is what you don’t like about yourself, and the brave soul you just criticized was handing you a flashlight!

If you choose to accept the flashlight and look at the opposit pole of condescention you can simply choose to BE more Argreeable instead. If you're having trouble differentiating the difference between the two poles, make an intention to find out by asking out load for the universe to help you understand.

ie. "Yo' God. can you show me the differnce here?" Then pay attention to your experiences because the universe, God, your guides, etc. WILL show you, but the form used to show you can not be expected.

The universe has an infinate array of ways to show you that your character may not be privy too. Your guidance may come from a book someone left behind at the coffee shop, or from a poster on social media, or an old movie that pops into your memory for no explicable reason. My favourite way to get clarification is to use Tarot cards. Regardless, once you set the intention... Pay Attention because the universe IS listening to your request for clarification.

REMEMBER: Intention is what comes before 'Things' manifest in your reality, but intention only works without expectation. Simply make your intentions known, then pay attention to the world around you for the reply, without haveing a specific way in MIND for the universe to reply.

Also remember, your reflection, ie. The person you’re critistisizing, may be condescending within a certain circumstance, that you yourself are NOT condescending in, but rest assured with a little introspection you WILL find other, or maybe even similar circumstances and situations where you yourself are a condescending person.

Don’t beat yourself up over it. When you DO get the lesson you’ll know you got it because you’re going to feel shame. Shame is the biggest thing people avoid IMHO. It’s like taking a bite of a shit sandwich...who wants to do that? But I garantee any amount of shame, or humility that you do feel will act in a cathardic manner, freeing you from a lifetime, or many lifetimes, of needless weight you've been carrying around, like giant chain necklesses on your shoulders.

Side Note: Shame always feels like you shit your pants. It can be identified in your base chakra. Avoiding the sensation of shame is very very common. It will feel like your clenching your but cheeks together, accompanied with a tightness in your belly, like when you're on a long raod trip without a bathroomn in site, but you KNOW "you gotta go!" but just can't right this instance. When you finally releive yourself...it's relief! ie Re-Life.

This method for going about your shadow work is mostly a "mental" endevour. It helps you recognize the thoughts you're projecting into the consensus reality. Or, collective consciousness if you prefer. However, "seeing" your own thoughts objectively won't necessarily stop them from popping into your mind.

Once they pop into your mind, regardless if you're aware of them, they will become part of what you're projecting outward and remain a part odf your reality. For example, lets say you just can't stop thinking about a person who did you wrong in some way.
