Build your Shadow Castle🌧️🏰🖤
The beautiful thing about shadow work is that it reminds you how important and beautiful things like Love, Peace and Joy truly are. Sometimes If I'm transmuting heavy energies I'll watch some action movie clips and really immerse myself into it.

2. The great thing about violent entertainment rather it be games or movies is that it can be a safe release valve and show you just how traumatic certain things are and why we should always choose the light and not darkness. Well acted war movies for instance can be very moving.

3. Any time I watch clips from war movies it makes me appreciate the awfulness of war and value things like love even more. This is why I question the concept of desensitization. Many feel that violent entertainment has made us more accepting of real world violence, I disagree.

4. I was raised on a buffet of violent games and movies and I don't even like killing a bug. I loathe real world violence. If anything those who avoid shadow work are desensitized because they have yet to explore the full range of their emotions and this makes them ungrounded.

5. Though I will admit that I may be assuming to much. I have always wore my heart and emotions on my sleeve and so perhaps those who do not have enough of an open heart can get lost in all the violence of entertainment if they are not conscious enough and heart centered.

6. Thats why I've learned to talk so much about being conscious and "In"gaging with entertainment rather than escaping through it. Living consciously while connected to your heart is really the key and prevents you from becoming a heartless machine.

7. And you know sometimes you can feel like you've had enough of the shadow work and you got to make sure to not bury yourself. In all honesty I like transmuting shit, it can be exhilarating when your burning through heavy emotions and constructing them into something positive.

8. But sometimes I get sick of it. I feel like I've been chugging emotional and mental shadows down my whole life and I do sometimes fear that I am doomed to roam the shadow planes forever when all I really want is to live in the light. So you got to be careful not to burn out.

9. That's why I also enjoy plenty of light hearted shit and take joy in many things, including art and sexuality. It keeps that warmth of being Human in you. I can turn from dark metal music to spiritual whimsical tunes on a dime. Its really all about Alchemy!

10. I feel sometimes that spiritual people think when they are feeling negative emotions they have to pump themselves with nice music or cat videos. I say nah, go play Doom or some shit. To be Human is to embody all our emotions and to feel them fully!

11. People lost in the material matrix have the materialization down but no spirit of inspiration, creativity or joy in them while people lost in the spiritual matrix have no way of grounding the higher vibrations they are attempting to hold into their material body.

12. When shadow work and light work come together through a conscious heart wonders of emotional, spiritual and creative depth can be achieved! You can stand the fires of pain and fear without burning alive yourself and walk out of the flames with things others have left behind.

13. Hopefully someday sooner than later we will have a lot less darkness in the world but one way to lessen that darkness is to just go scoop it up, form bricks out of it and turn those bricks into a beautiful castle made of shit, lol.

14. Just don't forget to light the interior of that shadow castle with a bulb of pure loving light sourced from the world above. Funny enough though to many people live in castles made of lovely crystal that have no light on the inside.

15. Thats why you can never judge a book by its cover. And often those of false light will be as appealing as possible on the surface but rotten to the core while those of true light will be camouflaged within the shadows. So go build your shadow castle and light it with love!🖤
