The Shadow Knows!

This pod is for people who want to work with their Shadow aspects.  I am just learning myself, so I welcome anyone who knows more than me to share their experience, strength and hope (to borrow a phrase).  I strongly believe that if one is to attain more Spiritual power and fullness, one must learn to embrace the “lower...(more)

  Whitewave : Into the Shadow...

Shadow Dictionary

Just for fun.  Anyone else wanna add entries, go right ahead. 

Words are not truth it'self, but signs of truth.  And we make those signs to the best of our ability in an eternal quest to manifest beauty and goodness.  But when we use them with Shadowed intentions, they become bariers to truth, and finally the space where truth no longer exists: Simulacra.  With I-I's road rules in mind, try to use words to speak as much honest truth as you can bear to release.  Use them to put consciousness where it doesn't want to go.  Be gentle.  Have fun.

anti-consciousness
noun
Result of effort to stop knowing something.  Mental block.  Area in consciousness that is impenetrable under normal circumstances of cognition.  Repression as a noun.  Denial, as a noun, that covers it's tracks so well that one doesn't even realize they have created it.  Not a mere lie, but an honest lack of comprehension of the truth.  Shadow.

freudian typo
noun
Result of the unconscious effort to remember or know something again which had been  previously covered with anti-consiousness.  Written form of the “freudian slip”.  Usually appears in the form of an exact opposite of what was intended.

presentality - the feeling that it is impossible to not be present. which is different from presence, because as i see it, people who practice presence do it because they don't want to be out of presence. but presentality is the understanding that even if i am not focused on the present, my present presence is precisely to be not focused on the present. thus trusting the processing of life in all its aspects, which includes when i'm not trusting.

I am finding this to be wild stuff
It sounds like “presence” of mind is adequate till ignorance becomes more converient. Abrogation of duty or responsibility to ones self or another.
Many thanks for what is on offer here.
