The Shadow consists of fragments of what a person was in the past, consists of their unprocessed karma. Under the influence of the false Ego, the Soul avoids recognizing its Shadow, which includes its past mistakes and failures when it acted out of harmony with its divine nature. The False Ego is essentially the summation of the consciousness of dark entities/beings/demons/false gods that tap into a person’s consciousness, mind and subtle bodies. Their intention is to manipulate him so that his Shadow manifests in his consciousness disproportionately and excessively, so that karma manifests excessively and for as long as possible, preferably to infinity. Moreover, they want to show him also what is not the Shadow of the soul at all. That which the soul has nothing to do with. They want to capture the soul, they want to control it, they want to parasitize on its energy until the soul becomes an empty container without energy, so that it can then join them and become a parasite as well. To expand the ranks of the damned until she scatters with them in the endless Vanity of Transience.
When the soul accepts its Spirit to guide it on the path of life, the Spirit presents its Shadow for processing, for recognition of its karmic records. It happens that the soul refuses the help of the Spirit because, under the influence of the Ego, it does not want to be involved with its Shadow. The Shadow is the real darkness of the soul that exists within its Self. If the Shadow is processed, it essentially disappears, the karmic records are cleared, and the dark entities then have nothing to feed on. They have no way of torturing a person with psychological disorders, false emotions, manipulative thoughts, or pains of the astral body. The shadow then exists only as a potential, as an empty box, which is the balanced theoretical opposite to the Light of the soul. The former Shadow remains as a memory that manifests itself to the soul as its qualities rise to a higher level.
When the soul wants something other than what the Spirit presents to it; when the soul wants to avoid the unpleasantness of its life; when it is not interested in getting to know and solving its Shadow in the way of the Spirit, it sometimes wants to introduce itself artificially, by force, into a state of happiness and contentment. For this, it uses techniques of autosuggestion, chanting, prayer, meditation, and the like.
The desire for happiness and contentment is normal, but artificially inducing these states through various techniques can be questionable, to say the least. If you really want something, you will probably get it. If you ever in this life, or in one of the past lives, or especially between the lives, consciously and firmly decided that you want to feel good always and under all circumstances, that you want to be beautiful, satisfied and happy all the time, then maybe it will happen. Such a firm and repeated decision can result in a long-term anchoring of your Shadow in the soul.
The mental karmic state of the soul is usually represented in dreams by a house or apartment. Sometimes it’s your grandparents’ house, an apartment you used to live in, a garage, a cellar, or an unknown shack, or a grand castle from the past; it is the mental residence, the place where you lived in past lives, the place where your story took place. It is the physical place representing your mind where it all happens. It is a dream parable, symbolism. There are various things in the house, apartment, there is furniture, closets full of clothes, there may be sawdust on the floor, there may be cobwebs, lizards on the walls, the windows are broken, the door is ajar, there are some other people in the room, known or unknown. It’s all dream symbolism, from which something can be read about what kind of karma you carry from the past.
Locking yourself in positivity is sealing a karmic space from which you cannot mentally move. Free space, nature, traveling in dreams is freedom, a journey through life. If you often see apartments in your dreams, it means boundaries and limitations.
Entropy represents the degree of disorder of a system. When you have a lot of things stored in your dream room, representing your mental space, something is damaged, broken, broken, or messy, it is a high entropy state. The entropy of an isolated system can only grow, so the symbolic disorder in the room will only produce its further growth. There is nothing there to put the mess in order, because darkness is an attribute of chaos.
A high degree of entropy of disorder naturally leads to chaos, but the global system tends to balance. For this reason, locking oneself in positivity can lead to later internal chaos and create conditions for the emergence of mental disorders. It can also result in an unfavorable condition in the existence after this life, because the karmic records remain unresolved even after.
A person who wants to achieve a certain state of consciousness in an artificial way, voluntarily locks himself in a cage, in a cube that he himself created. From the position of the observer, he gets into the position of the subject who is being observed. Locking yourself down is the opposite of release. Locking is like when you close yourself from the outside world to your apartment, to your mental space, however luxurious and comfortable it may be. You stick your head in the sand like an ostrich.
You will close the door and degrade yourself in your apartment, because you will only be exposed to what you have determined, what you have decided to do. If you lock your mental and karmic room, energy from the outside can’t get into it, and also the energy can’t get out of the room either. You exhale air and your brain stops working as it should. Energy does not enter the mental room, the light that would bring cognition does not shine there. Light is also energy. The energy that remained there will gradually atrophy and degrade, the pendulum will sink into the pit and probably stay there, because you have locked yourself in that pit of artificial, autosuggestion-generated pleasant feelings. Getting the pendulum back above again can be a more difficult process.
An example is the ”Positive Thinking” trend known from American motivational courses, neuro-linguistic programming, long-term visualizations, affirmations, mantras and various other techniques. People will learn to think positively and then they will enthusiastically positively “wow that’s great” over every nonsense that comes their way in life. Everything will be amazing, wow and cool. If they constantly repeat it to themselves, they will suggest it to themselves and it will get into their blood so that they will not be able to get rid of it. It will stick with them, maybe even for the rest of their lives. Far from everything in earthly life is wonderful, wow, cool, not everything is unconditional love and endless care of angels. People impregnated with artificial positivity can be recognized quite easily, by their glassy look in their eyes, constant artificial smile and slightly idiotically soulful, autistic expression on their face, however, in the same time might show rapid verbal reactions – signs of the Matrix artificial intelligence operating in their minds.
The second possibility is that someone rings the bell in your mental apartment and you open the door. You get the opportunity to bring the visitor in, listen to them, and then go out with them, into the infinite space of free being.
