Shadow Talk

Hi all….. there is one thing baffling me……. We have a great opportunity to share thoughts, opinions on topics related to The Shadow Effect….. Why does one hide from this by posting scam messages re: some medication …….? Why do they hide from their true self…..? Why do they deny who they are by changing id and reposting same scam? It looks like someone really does need to sit down, watch the Shadow effect and read  the books, do the worksheets and really understand their shadow self…… unfortunately unless they truly admit what they are doing, they will continue to spam discussion boards like this…….So sad they have nothing better to do………Wishing them love and hope oneday the discover their own integrity within themselves…..

Blessings…..

So I just watched TSE and I understand the concept of forgiveness and I just want to know do you truly forgive yourself for every thought or action that you have had. I consider myself a compassionate person to others but when it comes to myself for some reason I cant get it in my head to forgive myself . I have forgiven alot of people especially my parents its just I cant get it to forgive myself. So after watching the movie I want to get  to that place in mylife  in this moment to forgive. So how do I truly begin?

Friday, September 4th my friend, Becky and Tracy gathered here at my home to watch TSE.   As it was Becky’s copy, we felt honored to be included in her first viewing and no one really knew what to expect even though we sat down armed with tissues and our water bottles.  From the first image to the last we sat transfixed.  Familar faces (those teachers each of us knew as special) drove points home with poignant stories and we were equally impressed by the emotional energy shared by those we were meeting for the first time.  I don’t remember precisely when it happened but soon I began to hear sniffling and tissues being used by my friends, their hearts were touched and as the emotions were running high, I wanted to give them their privacy.  I, on the other hand, sat here cheering and whooping because I was feeling incredibly validated by what I was hearing not only from the guest teachers but Debbie’s wisdom.  My throat lump came when the segment from the workshop came up and everyone was hugging and forgiving each other, at that point I felt a deeply compelling shadow choking the breath out of me.  I was convinced no one would ever forgive me for anything that horrible.  I sat there with those painful feelings for the rest of the film.  As luck would have it fate lent a hand and when the credits were rolling, Becky made the comment that she wished there had been interviews with people who hurt people and not just those who were hurt.   She felt it woudl help her to understand how this type of work helped those people deal with what they had done, perhaps turned their lives around as she really wanted to cultivate an understanding of those who victimized others.  I took a deep breath and told her I could help her with that and with my two loving friends sitting there, I brought out my shadow.  I wasn’t expecting to do this and even though there had been 30 + years since this time in my life it was as though I wore a banner speaking all manner of hatred against myself.  I really don’t recall which one said it, I only remember hearing one of my buds pointing out that I denied myself happiness because I didn’t feel I deserved it.  In that moment I saw how in so many ways I kept myself just always this side of happiness, how I would self sabotage and justify for reasons other than what the shadow represented.  I had created a reality I could use as an excuse because I was terrified to face the real issue.   Even though there was much forgiveness and permission for forgiveness that day, I am still reassuring myself that I am am forgiven and making strides to allow myself to be happy.  After all these years it is like coming out of solitary confinement in a dungeon into the sunshine, an adjustment.   Thank you, Debbie for your wisdom borne of pain has helped me find a new reason to be happy.

In gratitude and love, I send you PEACE!   Annette

Just finished the movie and I must say,”That this was enlightening and also confirmed a lot for me as well.

Enjoyed

One of my shadows is that I feel needy so I try to prove I’m not. The question I have most is I have $$ problems. Not that I have no money..I have no healthy regard for money. I misuse it. What kind of shadow would that be?I live check to check and charge way too much and have too much overhead.

Can I use this site to grow? I purchased the film and watched it last night. Well done….I find myself driven by all of this yet not knowing exactly how to move forward.

Dear Debbie,

I love those little synchronicities that come to tell us we are in the right place at the right time. I just experienced one of my all time favorites while watching The Shadow Effect yesterday. I created a vision board about 8 months ago. The picture I included that was symbolic of “FREEDOM” for me just so happened to be the exact same picture that you used at the end of the movie (and when Deepak was talking).

I’m curious and would love to know what your intention was behind including that particular photo.

Thank you for your amazing contribution to what I am finding to be a HUGE missing piece of the puzzle.

Feeling Gratitude,

Dan

This movie went deep for me. I have been searching for healing that lasts. My Soul soars so high and then out comes the ax to cut me back down. Hope to come to a workshop soon.

Blessings Debbie,

Dear Debbie,
It does not matter what anyone else thinks. As long as we are true to ourselves and our feelings. No one will ever agree with us all the time..That is why this is America. Please don’t worry about others comments, You have a right to feel how you feel, whether others agree or not..I know as humans we feel the need to be nasty, when others don’;t agree with us. The human condition has a need to be right, instead of happy.. go figure.. I get your story about your feelings about Michael Jackson, and dont’ ever worry about sharing your feelings, because the truth is,not everyone will agree, but that should not deter you from your truth, whatever that is..

With Love and blessings,
