What is The Shadow Self or Separated Aspect?

One of the most influential beings or aspects in your life is the separated aspect or part of self that lives in the shadow of your auric field. Quite a mouth full, yes. When I first learned of the shadow part of the soul, I was completely unaware that such a thing existed and that this frozen part of self was playing a key role in my every day life.

It is called the separated aspect. Why? It has separated, partitioned and removed itself from the truth of who it is. It lives within the soul and is surrounded by the soul, but is separate and yet it is a part of the soul. It is the part of you that has cut itself and you off from the higher dimensions to keep you and it safe because a long time ago it perceived a threat. It decided to commandeer the position of the CEO or executive manager which the higher self used to hold. It was the relayer of messages from the higher self. In essence, the mail clerk who decided to take over.

It has lost its way and no longer receives divine guidance, but would have you believe that it knows best. It holds the mistaken beliefs of self and presents them to you during each physical incarnation. These are what I've termed in previous messages as your core issues - not good enough, unworthy, powerless and so on. You drag these with you like Marley's chains in the Christmas Carol thanks to the help of your separated aspect.

It will remind you in each situation where you feel that you want to pursue those things that will bring you joy why you shouldn't be doing it. For example finding that true love, creating something outrageous with skills you've always though you had but never tapped, or going for that dream job. The separated aspect is that voice that throws up doubt. It will remind you of all the times that when you decided to do (fill in the blank) you failed. And not only failed but you felt unworthy, not good enough, victimized or powerless. It will keep you inside your own self constructed box. In the dark, in the shadow hiding with your misbeliefs about self, not wanting others to see your "sin". What is sin? Sin is merely missing the mark. Choose again.

So, there are dark places in your auric field where the shadow self is apparent. It is difficult to get messages out to the light realms for assistance, as our efforts "bounce" off the shadowy or unclear parts in our auric fields. Likewise, messages or assistance coming in gets distorted by the shadow parts of self. How do we work with this part of self? It's been with us since it was created. We do not remember it from lifetime to lifetime. It remembers us and everything about us. The deck is stacked.

When you are determined to awaken back unto the original blueprint of who you are, you begin to become intimately aware of this part of self. As you begin to set your intention to reconnect, it will raise it's head with all alarms crying saying "stop" do not go here! It is afraid that by doing so we will eliminate it. When truly all we are doing is awakening to the truth of who we are - good enough, worthy, powerful, at one with all that is. And, we are taking that separated aspect with us. It is forever a part of who we are.

You begin the process of clearing and aligning to the truth of who you are while simultaneously creating a new reality from different beliefs all in the face of the maelstrom of the separated aspect. It is the minute by minute, daily vigilance of the exploration of and rebirthing of self many times over. You will work your process by finding and altering those beliefs that the separated aspect has held for you. That part of you is tired. Help relieve it of its burden. It is like a child and you are responsible for reeducating it and bringing it along in the process. It is not your enemy, although at times it may feel that way. It is taking you through your shadow beliefs, showing you what is there, and making sure you want to give it up.
You do!

What are your shadow beliefs or core issues? What sets your separated aspect off? How have you calmed or brought your separated aspect along in your process?
