My shadow is filled with lust and as I work to not avoid it but understand it I find that it’s causes aren’t so much a lust for flesh but a longing for love. I wish everyone well in exploring the darkness and hope they can start to see in it. Control your desires or be controlled by them.
Yeah TV got you... It gets almost everyone. It pollutes. Every Hollywood/TV (Jewish) source promotes sin and evil. Let's hope you did better for your children. We are men, we got to grow up sooner or later..
Nothing is wrong with love. Lust is a judgement. And love doesn't judge.now if you don't love yourself and and all your doing is chasing it with your body.
I also struggle very much with drugs. Been clean off heroin for 2 years this month. ❤ I’m so grateful for this information because it’s VITAL to my sobriety. So grateful Metaphysics is coming out of the shadows. It’s saving my life. 💚💚💚
@@369frequencyandvibration right?? Had I never been involved with AA none of this would have made sense. I didn’t really like meetings but this information really put it into perspective & I FINALLY GET IT! 💚😂💚🥰
I look forward to when the library of the sakya monastery gets decoded. Their library goes back 5,000 years and it would be nice to hear about some of the teachings.
I’m have a big ego stemming from insecurity. Have been too nice my whole life leading to anger and occasionally violence. Trying to figure it all out. As always, great video!
i hear you, i am the same. get insecure and stress myself over the probabilities, leads to anger. i have to literally try to stop thinking to figure it
Regardless of your gender or generation, it's hard to get this one "right". I tell people I'm a "recovering hot-head" ... growing up, I learned that yelling (ok screaming) was an appropriate expression of anger. Then I had two beautiful children and saw that this pattern had to go. Anger has been one of the things I've worked on most in my adult life ... one thing that helped me get some momentum in changing that was looking at my "all or nothing" thinking. Meaning -- I set the goal to "stop yelling at my kiddos" and each time I lost my temper and yelled, I had failed. That day was a failure. I was a failure. Finally (ok, eventually) I started correcting myself on the spot ... I would tell them "I'm sorry baby girl, this isn't your fault - mommy is just impatient" or own whatever aspect of my shit that was coming up in that moment. Within 2 months it was working -- I started to apologize for yelling and my daughter cut me off and said "it's ok mommy, I know you're impatient". YESSS!!! I hope this helps ... 🙏
My shadow side is Perfectionist which I have struggled with since my childhood. As a child, if I did not perform well in school academics or be the best of the best, my father would reject me and become verbally and physically abusive. I often would feel that if I fail I would have let everyone down and torment myself badly. This is the main root of other shadow tendencies to feed this perfectism like people-pleasing and making excuses for not chasing my dreams to avoid failure. Often felt like I don't have what it takes to be successful or when I do achieve something I feel a sense of impostor syndrome.
Damn, this hurts my heart to read ... and I know that many people struggle with perfectionist tendencies, but it's different for everyone. My dad was an ass to me sometimes, but he wasn't physically abusive ... if I could hug you, I would. 💚🙏💚
“Fear is the cheapest room in the house. I would like to see you living in better conditions.” ~Hafiz came back to leave this one here, for me this is the distilled essence of your intention behind this video.
I'm in recovery for almost 4 years now! I'm 51 & been struggling since 18yrs old. I finally learned to love & accept myself. Grateful for every moment 🙏🧘🏻♀️❤️🔥🧠💫🫀 ❤🌏✌️
@@christianleeabracadabraaci4526 so do you! We all do. And we're all doing our best. Well most are, some are just trying to make it harder for those of the light to discover their own treasures within!🥰 Love Source and self and others as self & I believe our world of love & wisdom will materialize
I think some part of me has turned to higher knowledge or spirituality out of a desire to feel better than others and absolve myself of all the things I have done to negatively impact others around me even if it has inevitably led to their growth. I've spent so much time judging others and reacting to the world outside of me without realizing it was out of fear of what I could become or at least discover in becoming who I'm meant to be. I could go on and even deeper, but some part of me can't accept to be wrong because of all the good born from all the quote on quote bad I've done to impact others.
My shadow is low self esteem, confidence, self love, etc. and not feeling like I fit in anywhere or belong. I wish everyone good luck with this and hope we can all raise our vibrations ✌⭐
I'm glad to share I am an addict as well, have had multiple drug use in the past and cannabis is the major one. Now trying to quit also tobacco. It's all about the journey to return to your power, which is important to also be weak. It is okay to be weak! And it's okay to be whatever the fuck you are right now. God bless you all ❤
This is hands down the best UA-cam channel I’ve found. You are amazing at explaining all these esoteric, gnostic, mystical, etc. ideas and truths in a way people can understand. I’ve been trying to get into this for years but for a long time I was discouraged because of how hard some of the books are to understand. Through watching your videos, I’m able to go back thru these books I didn’t understand and finally be able to truly understand. Thank you for what you do
That really helps to hear that you dont have to get rid of your shadow self but more so embrace it to work on yourself . I have had a lot of horrible things that happened to me as a child that i would never ever wish on anyone. It has caused mental health issues that i am working on improving. Im currently homeless and looking for work but its a struggle as i dont have any job experience. Some days i just dont know anymore but i just gotta keep going and working at it Thank you for you wise words. it helps
Bro, thank you for making this. I reflected this morning while driving to work. My fears and insecurities came mostly from childhood. Where I was bullied emotionally and physically by my own father and others in school. I had nobody to turn to and responded to fear with anger. Luckily i started lifting and martial arts as a less destructive (imo) outlet for it. Now I after getting punched and kicked in training, physical pain is not too bad but I still withdraw into my shell (am a Cancer too) emotionally and distance myself from those that I perceive might hurt me or take me for granted. Besides being abusive, my father also discredited or belittled everything I did so that I felt like I was never good enough. Going as far as saying how I will "be poor and eat shit as an artist". I am now approaching my 40's and feel lost at times. I still toil away physically to be not so vulnerable and weak, while blocking out close relationships and being unmotivated with my creative projects. I look at other guys my age who are husbands and fathers and wonder what the hell is wrong with me. As I walk into work, I realized that I am strong, and I am capable (both relative of course), and most of all, I am appreciated by the people that matter. Had to fight back tears as I clocked in bro, didn't want to look like an emotional weirdo. Thanks again!
Something really bad must of happened to the 3rd generation before ours. I'm close to your age. Unfortunately so many of us went thru this experience with our fathers even mothers. I say better to have never been married than to marry & divorce. When I was younger I thought it was weird to see a man show emotions but now I have learned to appreciate when a man is capable of feeling or showing his emotions. 💚
A man who knows himself- and does not need to conform - is the most dangerous man in the room. And a woman who can do the same...scares the living hell out of all the little boys who must strut and demand attention to be heard. True strength is quiet.
I lost my father (I never lived with him, my mom raised me) when I was 11, and I lost my mom when I was 18. I was left rather alone and had to grow up fast and learn a lot on my own. Im 27 now and have been learning so much about hermetic principles, subconscious and consciousness, and God these past two years after “mystical” and unexplainable experiences which have been present throughout my life, but in particular over the past couple years. I’ve struggled with substance abuse, sex addiction, anxiety, anger and a lot of neediness from my partners. I can see where much of these dark parts of me stem from, some obvious and some not so obvious. This knowledge and of course this channel are a real blessing. Teachings from Neville Goddard have shown me a real control or force of power that I did not know was there. Thank you for this channel
Very happy to be here within this community you've created! Ive ignored my shadow for too long. Found out I had thyroid cancer in 2020 and it woke me up, I've been terrified of life, living, for as long as I can remember. Tried a small dose of mushrooms for the first time and I kept seeing my shadow out of the corner of my eye, she's waiting for me to really acknowledge her. Super excited to see that you post your meditation techniques, I've needed guidance there, gonna give them a try!!
Excellent and I hope to see you in the comments of those videos if you have any questions! I see you are a member , so if you have any comments concerning meditation and yoga, feel free to email me… Libraryoftheuntold@gmail.com
I'm struggling atm to stay silent on lots of things if I tell everyone what I'm doing I feel like I'm over inflating my ego and acting from an anxious mind the more I don't say anything the better I am to myself meditations is helping me slow down and be more present Loving the channel brother keep up the good work
It is written several places by sharing the deep knowledge with ppl that are not in alignment leaks ur energy n weakins ur own alignment. Spiritual Ego is a crafty one 😮
Soo good ! My friend Kay sent this to me, i just returned from my Sunday morning market walk, aware of how disappointed i am with humanity, laughing at myself in a compassionate way, partially disappointed in myself for being disappointed in the specie i am a part of. Have been hiding in the forest which was of great value but I am aware its not a long time solution.. Now clearly on the way of accepting the asshole within and embracing that sucker, puts a lighter shine on the game of my life. By the way, i write this not necessarily for you to read but more for me to grasp where i am at. Non the less by saying this i am aware that you are me and i am you...
I loved your content before, but this just put me over the moon. I still struggle with boundaries, but I'm working through my shadow, and my lower vibratory moments are less. You are amazing ❤ Thank you for all you do ❤
Dude your amazing. Thank you for sharing your light. I too struggle with substances but have been sober now for almost a year . Love that you put that in there. Your channel has brought a lot of perspective in my life . Thank you .
I absolutely agree. The sacrifice must be the self. All systems tend towards chaos, but new systems can emerge from the chaos, if you allow the chaos to die.
I'm so glad I stumbled on your channel. I'm in what I belive (bc of ur vids) to be the 4th stage of the dark night and I just want to say thank you. I walked into recovery a few years ago and I'm not as stuck on toxic thoughts as I once was. This journey is insane but love is. Haha.
This one hit home for me. 7 years no alcohol 👍🏻 for me. Work in progress on my other shadows but going great 🙌🏻 your content is helping huge. Loving this stuff . Started buying and read books I see on your book shelf 🫶🏼
hey there, i think i begun my spiritual journey after my first heartbreak. im 23 and this girl changed everything for me. showed me true love, selflessness, honesty and all that good stuff. it wasn't until i lost her and went through all the pain that i did that i found spirituality and what i think was the reason i met her and that was to make me the man i am proud to be today and keep working on everyday. your videos helped my find an outlet for my energy and immense love, she showed me that love like this is powerful in all the beautiful ways it can be shared and passed onto others and yourself.
Who the hell am I and what is my purpose ? Love your programs you present. Opening my eyes to what is out there and broadening my mind. Going through a divorce after 40 + years is my dark night of the soul.. I feel i am starting to awaken from the autopilot path I had been on for decades. Love you man and thanks again...
"Holy shit,I didn't think I was capable of that" this is the first hint at your shadow and wut lies within. To ignore it is dangerous,extremely dangerous. Until it is recognized and explored, the moments that surprise you by acts you've committed will continue to haunt you. There is also the anima/animus, which is the feminine qualities of man and the masculine qualities of women,obviously having an effect on the persona/ ego structure. I do give caution tho, the labyrinth of the self and the darkness within is NOT to be taken lightly. One can lose themselves and not in a good way. Fear of the unknown leads to demonizing something for survival/Ego reasons. This is really base consciousness operating at its finest. Anger is a fantastic tool and for anyone I recommend a book called "anger,the misunderstood emotion". Knowing thy self is to kno another and to understand that one only exists because of the other. Batman and Joker are a wonderful analogy of this. Bringing the subconscious to the forefront is to recognize behaviour and thought patterns and then following them to the root....bring a flashlite. I love you💜
You are so right about construction, I am also into it for 10 years now and wanting to do my own thing at this point. Enlightenment is incompatible with employment. Once you become enlightened you will become unexploitable.
Hello there!! I'm a big fan of your channel and I like your POV on these esoteric concepts. I have also struggled with substance abuse and alcoholism for over half my life, I'm 36 and I am in recovery. It's been a long and very hard road and I know I still have a long way to go mentally and physically. Thanks for another great video!!
@LibraryoftheUntold so question what happen after death is there good place bad place or recarnation? Also I am confuse can you explain gnostic beliefs also how get saved in in ther beliefs?
"To serve others, it's to serve yourself." I too, struggle with addiction, and I really enjoy the philosophical tidbits from Carl Jung you so elegantly articulate in these videos. I've learned a lot about Carl Jung in both school and in the 12 step programs such as AA and NA.
I struggle with anger and violence.... As if I were born in the wrong times because causing pain brings me so much pleasure. I have learned to suppress my desire for pain in my life due to laws and boundaries. I wish people more understood that some of us were born for war, pain is pleasure, and what most consider fear others consider the best known drug to mankind! You can literally taste it in the air... When I feel what I believe is fear I feel a switch happen and I feel a rush of exitement and a calling from somewhere deep that tells me its time to destroy anything and everything human, including myself... The only true reason I control my addiction to rage is my greater hatred of prison and the absence of my two Cane Corso pups... If not for them I would definetly spend my remaining natural life in the S.H.U. Your channel has helped me in ways I cannot explain and I just wanted to share what I am sure you already know. Not all of us want to be saviors and saints...Some of us are here to keep the balance, heaven wouldn't be sound so great if not for those of us giving free tours of hell...
It’s crazy that there’s so much information to dive in on variety of topics that always brings you back to the same thing. It being ourselves and the reflection and projection of the outer. Within and without.
my shadow is the need for approval, it almost literally makes me feel pain when I do something wrong and hurt or upset others, but I'm already working on it, it's not good for me to sabotage myself so much, everyone makes mistakes and the comfort I try to give others It's not always reciprocal, so fuck it, I need to focus on myself now, at least to improve myself until I learn how to balance it
The metaphor you are describing regardind ''Facing the dragon'' Is basically what Stoicism philosophy is all about. Its one of my favorite perspective on life but i strugle af with applying it irl ! lol :(
I can relate sooooo f***ing much with the whole ''Im tough as the other guys, im not a nerd, im a badass'' vibe you described. I felt like that was what people expected of me and sh*t. Only when i reached a certain age &/or maturity have i been able to accept some of the thing that truly make me happy like Arts, Literature, Philosophy, Theology, Science, etc..................................... I just realised, continuing watching the rest of the video, that its pretty dope that you take time to bring that subject up, sharing personal experiences & preaching that its okay to enjoy intellectual things, etc.. Once again my man, thank you for the great quality content.
it's a humbling experience for us all to be in this body on this planet trying to figure out what the hell is going on with us and the world... this channel is beautiful gift for a community that longs for the truth. I love that you combine the esoteric, materialistic and psychological aspects as they are connected like ice, water and steam. Personally I have struggled all my life with a deep sense of inferiority and self sabotage complex to get back at the people I have believed had done me wrong. A whole life was spent on building something precious to then throwing it away in a flash. After years of personal work and having opened up to anything to end the suffering I can say the suffering was worth every bit of it as it has shown me a world of immense beauty I was blind to before. The treasures, your channel included, the beauty and peace I have found were worth every desperate hour and every wound. thank you !!!
I love your channel brother recovered alcoholic myself..... it led me down alotbof rabbit holes and on the mission of self discovery and to help reach and teach others... it's beautiful to watch broken people so we think turn into mighty warriors kings and queens sages teachers and guiding lights my full salute to you sir 🫡
🇯🇲I spent the last 16 years of my life completely under the persona of I can "win my way back to being right" through 1) religion; the mask of credited minister/pastor. 2)through the mask of provision; (married with kid) 3) The mask of fear/"integrity" But that dark night of the soul... Did wonders. Be blessed y'all. Light love Adonai
I just watched an interview with former Marine sniper AJ Pasciuti, and he reminded me of the ‘Tapestry’ concept of why life, having such chaos and why any god would allow bad shit to happen 😊to good people, said that a Rabbi told him that when you look at the back of a tapestry (life and it’s chaos) all you see is a messy criss cross of string and knots. But after we have fulfilled our purpose in this life, we will see the front of the tapestry and fully understand WHY bad shit happens to us (not that I condone any bad happening to anyone). This concept is a proof that we can use to help us know that life after death is the world we come from and the tapestry, while still being weaved I guess, is hung in heaven for all to see with an understanding of life’s purpose. Nature reflects the structure of heaven.
I worry about shit that i have no control over, i don't trust myself when i know i should. i feel that beast of fear has a grip on me that i'm working on making friends with with all my might. i have let go of so many terrible ways of living and habits this last year, and i feel closer than ever to becoming whole. I must integrate my fear and find an outlet for my animal instinct in a healthy way. i have been meditating on a way have a healthy ritual to let this part of myself out regularly that is does not cause harm to my fellow man, if anyone has found a shadow ritual that works for them i would be gracious for your sharing. It's so nice to not feel alone, knowing you are all here watching these videos and walking the path is a beautiful thing.
I'm fighting off fentanyl withdrawals cold turkey...Just gotta say this channel has been making it easier than going to detox or a state ran facility for help..I appreciate you
You got this! And this is wonderful to read. That sounds awful but you are doing the right thing. A couple weeks in hell is a small price to pay for a new and wonderful life!
I love your videos, thank for your work. I don't struggle with anything, really, I nailed this reality as F after hard working on my mind since I am 15 yo. Now I am working on creating content to make people aware and spreading the awaraness. You are an example of mine.
I was just watching one of your don't run from your shadow video on UA-cam. you mentioned u struggled with substance abuse. I'm in recovery as well I had a horrible run with drugs and that side of me I embrace to the fullest and get a lot of my strengths today from it. iv been listening to your videos for only a week now. all of the hard work you do for the information you provide is very impressive and Im grateful for your passion for other humans I appreciate every video I have watch. thank you
Thanks mate, I love your videos and eagerly await every new one. I’m waiting on the third part to gnostic lore. I only got the confidence to mention my problems because you said that you struggled with similar issues.
Just watched the Shadow of the soul and totally what I’m experiencing right now. Moved out of the city to a trailer that has nothing. Just fixing it up. Got my sewer in by myself and it gave me such a step up in this dark night I’m experiencing. Now I get my water in. Thank you for your help help bro I appreciate you very much and so does my subconscious!
I stumbled upon your channel in my seemingly endless search for metaphysical answers to questions I don’t have. The way you create your videos seems to always have me laughing at your humor & the way you don’t take these big matters so seriously & at the same time I have my mind blown and so many piqued interests and questions by the knowledge bombs you drop. I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos, the knowledge you put out there which is somehow what I didn’t know I needed or wanted to hear. The way you explain them. And the way you make it relatable to everyone. Thank you for all you do. And thank you for feeding my insatiable appetite for this knowledge. I can’t wait until the next one drops 🖤
Ooh the Shadow, my favourite topic and one I'm heavily involved I will be staying up for this one P.s perhaps Joey you should also think about releasing your wonderful music on a cd so as everyone can enjoy them ❤
I've had my struggles with drugs as well as the sex addictions that was boosted by drug use. I've been clean for a few years now. I'm working a VERY well paying job now, which seemed liked a total pipe dream a handful of years ago. I'm happy, my health is slowly getting better. I'm blessed.
Bro!!!!! I wish I could describe how much you've helped with your service! Especially this new vid and your vulnerability! My gratitude is truly ineffable
Another very insightful presentation. Astrologically, it is Scorpio season, the perfect time for this type of deep introspection. Yeah, I think the 'trick' is love everything about yourself. Also, I think sometimes the term 'shadow' is misleading. The 'dark side' of myself was, or is, simply a means of protecting myself....not the healthiest necessarily. It has nurtured me, now it is time for me to nurture it by loving and embracing it. - Exactly, villains/comrades. Love your visuals also. Again, I will have to listen to this a dozen times. Thanks a million.
0:20 Usually i read things and apply to multiple subjects and objects so i understand in various ways and as a kid i used to think of the negatives before sleeping but i didnt run, i thought and accepted and imagined a different future. This quote reminded me of that and helps me to understand that i havent been doing that recently and really ive been using the feeling to stay down. I think we do it to ourselves and it stops us from moving on or slows us down or ultimately leads us down a path that ends with regerts. We take in the things that create chaos and get lost as we try to understand or decipher the pattern, pain, fear, sadness and other emotions move through us and the stable patterns fit easily like a square in a square hole but the chaotic feelings are like triangles and we cant fit it but we keep trying, we gotta put it in the triangle hole and let it through. Feel and let it pass just like the happiness passes so easily because change leads to both and its up to ourselves to navigate and feel. Remember them and understand/grow.
That quote about anxiety from Alan Watts is so spot on. I’ve always said “anxiety is simply conspiracy theories about yourself.” Having a healthy amount of fear can be beneficial to living beings. Fear is what keeps us alive in many cases. Like when I visited the Grand Canyon - I had a healthy fear of falling off the edge, which ultimately kept me from going too close and taking a wrong step. But the trick is using the fear that dwells within you as a positive force, rather than a paralyzing one. It takes practice, and not letting healthy fear stoke unnecessary anxiety is what I work on every day. Has anyone ever experienced adversity, and said to themselves “Wow, I am SO glad that I was so anxious and stressed about that!” after the fact? I don’t think so. I just had brain surgery in June to remove a benign brain tumor. I’m all healed up now and everything went well. I attribute my successful recovery to having a positive and stress-free mindset more than anything else. I had fear, but at the same time I didn’t- I knew that as long as I believed in myself that I would get thru it, I would. Fantastic video as usual dude. I learned SO much about myself thru my journey dealing with that tumor, and am a firm believer that pain and suffering can help your spirit grow more than anything else. From dirt grows flowers- from darkness comes light…😉👍 (By the way I’m an addict too. My addicted self just won’t seem to go away no matter what I do. So I look for ways to manage its presence rather than try to eradicate it.)
@@weirdersmarterricher1545 subs right now. I kicked a pretty gnarly heroin habit back in 2011 and have been on subs ever since. I feel blessed to have gotten out of the madness before fentanyl hit. However, now I need to get off the subs. I’ve been on them for way too long. I will get there- I just quit the antidepressants they put me on when I first quit the dope, and I’m still feeling the withdrawal from those (never again!). So once that’s all done, I’ll tackle the subs.
25:33 So yeah...i have been thru the dark night of the soul, and i have serious addiction and alcohol feeders too. Just want to say thank you for your channel. It seems we are being given the answers again, to wake up and do something. Im not there yet...but the 1st step is realizing "we aren't in kansas anymore". Seeing the fence let's you know you have a choice to stay in the herd, or go and see what's outside the corral. FAFO.
I am a Priestess and an energy field bodywork practitioner - my beliefs and rituals, the ways of being which WORK FOR MY BODY-MIND, are easily perceived as the archetype of “witch” I woke up on November 1st in shocking awareness that I have been blocking channels of guidance because of MY PERCEPTION of myself as a witch… and ALL of the RISKS historically with having others recognize what I do, how I do, as witchcraft. My cognitive dissonance is dissolving … Everything I have ever asked to become, the calling I am receiving, the best use of my brief time here as a product of nurture & nature, is coming to pass. Do I SUFFER? I will only suffer if I stay attached to all of the FEARFUL paradigms I integrated in my youth. I thought I was afraid of what others might think about me. No. I have to make peace with the judgment I have about the archetype of witch. I am molting… shedding dead layers, growing. It was magical and unsurprising to see this video NOW -- And SO appreciated! Thank you for profound resonance, support for authentic growth.
Confusion, pain, & consequences are the price of admittance... 20+ yrs sober took me yrs to see I was still living in self will... there is alway a deeper understanding to obtain... to thy own self be true, know thyself, admit my faults to the creator and my fellows. We are all the same... brothers
It is awesome! You addresse all the subjects I have spent my life in deep thought over, and tye them together (audio & visual) very well. I can't figure out a way to send you a private email (I'm old) . But I think I can help, if there is a private way to exchange ph #'s or a way I can send an invite to zoom.
Hey man, I’m in the construction industry as well as being sober. A carpenter for many years then a commercial diver, now in project management. I’m also a huge fan of jungian psych having read quite a bit in the arena. We both obviously know how much of a role he played in the creation of the fellowship. We should exchange contact info even if just emails. It’s rare I hear someone that is so in-line with my own persona.
I struggle with almost every aspect of my life, I took on the invisible child without needs persona to cope with an alcoholic physicaly and mentally abusive and dad. I never learned how to set healthy boundaries or emotional regulation or anything other than survival, obviously i turned to drugs very young and have tried getting clean a bunch of times even lasted a few years once but I'm could not figure out what it was That would make me relapse and not even realizing it was happening before I would be full blown using. I have been trying to give myself therapy in preparation for the next attempt scheduled for 2 weeks from now. This channel has been helping me see the nature of how we are and that there is so much more to life . Also Tim Fletcher has a 60 part series on understanding and healing from trauma that has been crucial in my journey of survival and thought someone else could find as much value in his presentations as me. Thanks for all the in depth videos on very complex topics but explained in a way that I can comprehend. Feeling hopeful for a change.
Heroin addict here sober since november when i joined the methadone program.. but this is just a symptom of the inner darkness i struggle with... A lot of rage and deep cynicism even though on the other hand im a positive and joyful leaning person. Struggles with my gender, the shame i was presented with for being femake as a kid never quite left me. I always rooted for the villain as a kid because i understood them and seem to have a tendency for self destruction which is why i love people like janis joplin and deeply empathize with her.m theres more much more but ay least this channel fulfills my desire for secret knowledge to some degree.. ny curiosity will never be satiated but thank god for channels like this!!!
I'm going on 12 years sober, and having watched all your videos more than once, somehow didn't know we had that in common. Thanks Joe for first, keeping my mind distracted, second for being entertaining enough for me to explore these topics on my own. But most of all, for being a part of creating a surprisingly awesome New Me.
I struggle with addiction, too. I try to fast for a week once a year to repair my body, but I feel so at peace in my routine that it's getting harder to do. I could use a boost in vibes to get over this hump. I wish I had the money to just take a week off and do a dark cave retreat. I think a lot of us need some deep unplugging like that. Reboot the operating system.
Dude, exactly the same same thing here I habitually use my vacation time as detox time and I wish I could just stay away from it. It’s like I break away from it easily but then end up strolling back up with a smile on my face like hey ol buddy.
@LibraryoftheUntold have you tried the emerald tablets of thoth I'm on my 5th time it makes everything you say make sense to me. I feel your down the same rabbit hole joey and I love it only been sober a year and found out so much about myself thanks to kind hearted people like yourself not in it to make a buck off the little guy.. you really help people I notice in the comments hence why I was drawn to respond and simply say cheers
I struggle with smoking and drinking. I struggle with integrating after awakening. All one. All the universe. My world crumbled when I woke. I let everything go. Business, house, animals, money. I saw through everyone's eyes, even animals. Knowing its all me. All source. Sorry, here is no right working for this. I know I'm always speaking to self, I can't even be intimate with another aspect of self. Been celibate for a year. Closed Business in 2021 and haven't worked since. I saw the big bang. I feel im just waiting for it to happen again. I really don't kno how to integrate any of this and keep "living in the dream" knowing I AM ALL THAT I AM. To know everything is to know nothing. Is anyone feeling this way or experiencing this or in it right now??? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love your videos. I watch 2 a day every day. Thank you so much for taking the time to make them. 🙏🧘🏽♀️🪷🦋
People often think that someone preaching sobriety, but they themselves are not sober is a hypocrite. It's not hypocrisy at all though if the person is open about it (not even just to others but themselves too). A hypocrite is "one who assumes a false appearance". I also urge others to be sober partly because I KNOW what it's like to be addicted and currently still struggle with addictions.
Ive struggled to figure out what the importance of the shadow work was until i thought about the balance in life we need the duality of us all its important to know you have the capability to do whats needed in certain situations but im still learning but love this content man youre killing it
I struggled with infidelity due to insecurities... I have fought the good fight for over 2 years now and kept faithful. I choose to fight by way of surrender. I surrender to my truth and recognize my weaknesses and work on strength daily....
I struggle with depression and a lot of times at my worst moments I feel guilty for being like this and feeling like im not “strong enough” to be normal and not depressed, but I’m slowly but surely beginning to accept and embrace that part of myself and learn that life has its ebbs and flows and I give credit to myself for still being here and not giving up
Thanks, love the video man. I’m in recovery as well, just got 4 months and am on a journey of my own spiritual enlightenment. Your channel is amazing and love the content you make! Thanks so much, appreciate you and your work!
My list of inadequacies in my lower case s self are far too long winded to try to cover fully here but much love and respect for the work you have done in this lifetime and the wisdom that you share on this channel.
Thanks man. Your videos encourage me to face my shadow and walk side by side with it so I can feel the inner light when I succeed in what I must. Thank you, I hope this comment helps you see that what you do helps others! Knowledge is power but it can defo be a tough balance when the cup runs full, so thanks for the boost to better myself!
I tiptoe around the idea of real shadow work for fear of, well Everything! :/ My enormous ego caused me to think I was going through an ego death or becoming enlightened a couple of years ago only to be smacked in the face by this fantastic Channel. I’m so grateful to have found it! Thank you.
Great Video/Lecture. *My shadow is filled with fear, laziness, rejection, acceptance, and RSD (Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria) *I would overcompensate by trying to make everyone happy, and ignoring myself. *Once I Recognized my trauma and went to a therapist, I was able to work on my mental health, ADHD, OCD. The medication, and taking with professionals has helped me and my relationships immensely.
Thanks bro. I was fortunate enough to find work that introduced me to Jung. I was doubly blessed to be able to apply his ideas and use them as I pleased...Once the bread and butter mbti work was done. It hasn't been fortunate but endlessly pleasing that I took his ideas to heart. Shadow is not the archetype to fear. The ego takes us deep into our own fantasies, if we are not sensitive enough to nip whatever buds it grows in. People do not fear the shadow d8rectly, they fear the trauma that such change creates. Trauma is a concept of meaning rippling across time, it isnt real. Shock comes as pleasant surprise because it comes with no attachments. What we think meaningful has no meaning at all once we are growing into better integrations. If one goes deep into the structure of information the archetypes can be reconciled with real impulses. Ego forms in a connection between heart and mind. Shadow forms in a relationship between body and heart. Persona comes alive in a bond of body and mind. Self is an alignment of emotional, mental, and physical expression. Shadow, ego, and persona are always embedded within someone's words and actions.
My shadow is filled with lust and as I work to not avoid it but understand it I find that it’s causes aren’t so much a lust for flesh but a longing for love. I wish everyone well in exploring the darkness and hope they can start to see in it. Control your desires or be controlled by them.
Well find Love in urself for urself, then u can find the love u seek everywhere
Yeah TV got you... It gets almost everyone. It pollutes. Every Hollywood/TV (Jewish) source promotes sin and evil. Let's hope you did better for your children. We are men, we got to grow up sooner or later..
That’s what the bad side of the 2 evils is. Perversion of love.
Nothing is wrong with love. Lust is a judgement. And love doesn't judge.now if you don't love yourself and and all your doing is chasing it with your body.
I liked this message thank you
I also struggle very much with drugs. Been clean off heroin for 2 years this month. ❤ I’m so grateful for this information because it’s VITAL to my sobriety. So grateful Metaphysics is coming out of the shadows. It’s saving my life. 💚💚💚
Peace be with you
I love that these videos quote AA right along with the other Wisdom schools!
"Know Thy Self" is literally etched on our reminders.
I mean its not quoted aa. Aa quoted the quote😮@369frequencyandvibration
@@369frequencyandvibration right?? Had I never been involved with AA none of this would have made sense. I didn’t really like meetings but this information really put it into perspective & I FINALLY GET IT! 💚😂💚🥰
I look forward to when the library of the sakya monastery gets decoded. Their library goes back 5,000 years and it would be nice to hear about some of the teachings.
I’m have a big ego stemming from insecurity. Have been too nice my whole life leading to anger and occasionally violence. Trying to figure it all out. As always, great video!
You are not alone brother
i hear you, i am the same. get insecure and stress myself over the probabilities, leads to anger. i have to literally try to stop thinking to figure it
Regardless of your gender or generation, it's hard to get this one "right". I tell people I'm a "recovering hot-head" ... growing up, I learned that yelling (ok screaming) was an appropriate expression of anger. Then I had two beautiful children and saw that this pattern had to go. Anger has been one of the things I've worked on most in my adult life ... one thing that helped me get some momentum in changing that was looking at my "all or nothing" thinking. Meaning -- I set the goal to "stop yelling at my kiddos" and each time I lost my temper and yelled, I had failed. That day was a failure. I was a failure. Finally (ok, eventually) I started correcting myself on the spot ... I would tell them "I'm sorry baby girl, this isn't your fault - mommy is just impatient" or own whatever aspect of my shit that was coming up in that moment. Within 2 months it was working -- I started to apologize for yelling and my daughter cut me off and said "it's ok mommy, I know you're impatient". YESSS!!! I hope this helps ... 🙏
My shadow side is Perfectionist which I have struggled with since my childhood. As a child, if I did not perform well in school academics or be the best of the best, my father would reject me and become verbally and physically abusive. I often would feel that if I fail I would have let everyone down and torment myself badly.
This is the main root of other shadow tendencies to feed this perfectism like people-pleasing and making excuses for not chasing my dreams to avoid failure. Often felt like I don't have what it takes to be successful or when I do achieve something I feel a sense of impostor syndrome.
Yep, I feel this, and I definitely get a bit of imposter syndrome myself sometimes
Damn, this hurts my heart to read ... and I know that many people struggle with perfectionist tendencies, but it's different for everyone. My dad was an ass to me sometimes, but he wasn't physically abusive ... if I could hug you, I would. 💚🙏💚

came back to leave this one here, for me this is the distilled essence of your intention behind this video.
I'm in recovery for almost 4 years now! I'm 51 & been struggling since 18yrs old. I finally learned to love & accept myself. Grateful for every moment 🙏🧘🏻♀️❤️🔥🧠💫🫀 ❤🌏✌️
Good! Glad to hear this
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I'm 51 in recovery too you deserve to be loved 🙏
Loved this one and the emojis
@@christianleeabracadabraaci4526 so do you! We all do. And we're all doing our best. Well most are, some are just trying to make it harder for those of the light to discover their own treasures within!🥰 Love Source and self and others as self & I believe our world of love & wisdom will materialize
My biggest challenge in life is finding the good within others…: a lone wolf is what I tell myself but maybe it’s just fear of disappointment I avoid.
Or maybe you are afraid of disappointing others...
Go to a good church

Just being present is a struggle, always analyzing and mapping out projections of potentia
Remember everything is God even drugs and alcohol. Moderation is key. Find balance. I struggle with it as well
I think some part of me has turned to higher knowledge or spirituality out of a desire to feel better than others and absolve myself of all the things I have done to negatively impact others around me even if it has inevitably led to their growth.
I've spent so much time judging others and reacting to the world outside of me without realizing it was out of fear of what I could become or at least discover in becoming who I'm meant to be.
I could go on and even deeper, but some part of me can't accept to be wrong because of all the good born from all the quote on quote bad I've done to impact others.
My shadow is low self esteem, confidence, self love, etc. and not feeling like I fit in anywhere or belong. I wish everyone good luck with this and hope we can all raise our vibrations ✌⭐
Dude, I felt this one. I got a little bit too.
You are always worthy of love ... 🙏💚
I'm glad to share I am an addict as well, have had multiple drug use in the past and cannabis is the major one. Now trying to quit also tobacco. It's all about the journey to return to your power, which is important to also be weak.
It is okay to be weak! And it's okay to be whatever the fuck you are right now.
God bless you all ❤
I struggle with cannabis as well. Some people don’t realize how destructive it can be. We’re all in this together :)
I feel at peace for awhile when I’m listening to your videos.
Same for me when reading these comments
This is hands down the best UA-cam channel I’ve found. You are amazing at explaining all these esoteric, gnostic, mystical, etc. ideas and truths in a way people can understand. I’ve been trying to get into this for years but for a long time I was discouraged because of how hard some of the books are to understand. Through watching your videos, I’m able to go back thru these books I didn’t understand and finally be able to truly understand. Thank you for what you do
Wow, thank you!
That really helps to hear that you dont have to get rid of your shadow self but more so embrace it to work on yourself . I have had a lot of horrible things that happened to me as a child that i would never ever wish on anyone. It has caused mental health issues that i am working on improving. Im currently homeless and looking for work but its a struggle as i dont have any job experience. Some days i just dont know anymore but i just gotta keep going and working at it
Thank you for you wise words. it helps
Funny how things work. I just got told that someone would hire me in the area I'm currently in. Maybe manifesting does work
Bro, thank you for making this. I reflected this morning while driving to work.
My fears and insecurities came mostly from childhood. Where I was bullied emotionally and physically by my own father and others in school. I had nobody to turn to and responded to fear with anger. Luckily i started lifting and martial arts as a less destructive (imo) outlet for it.
Now I after getting punched and kicked in training, physical pain is not too bad but I still withdraw into my shell (am a Cancer too) emotionally and distance myself from those that I perceive might hurt me or take me for granted.
Besides being abusive, my father also discredited or belittled everything I did so that I felt like I was never good enough. Going as far as saying how I will "be poor and eat shit as an artist".
I am now approaching my 40's and feel lost at times. I still toil away physically to be not so vulnerable and weak, while blocking out close relationships and being unmotivated with my creative projects.
I look at other guys my age who are husbands and fathers and wonder what the hell is wrong with me.
As I walk into work, I realized that I am strong, and I am capable (both relative of course), and most of all, I am appreciated by the people that matter.
Had to fight back tears as I clocked in bro, didn't want to look like an emotional weirdo.
Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing yourself ❤
Something really bad must of happened to the 3rd generation before ours. I'm close to your age. Unfortunately so many of us went thru this experience with our fathers even mothers. I say better to have never been married than to marry & divorce. When I was younger I thought it was weird to see a man show emotions but now I have learned to appreciate when a man is capable of feeling or showing his emotions. 💚
A man who knows himself- and does not need to conform - is the most dangerous man in the room. And a woman who can do the same...scares the living hell out of all the little boys who must strut and demand attention to be heard. True strength is quiet.
I lost my father (I never lived with him, my mom raised me) when I was 11, and I lost my mom when I was 18. I was left rather alone and had to grow up fast and learn a lot on my own. Im 27 now and have been learning so much about hermetic principles, subconscious and consciousness, and God these past two years after “mystical” and unexplainable experiences which have been present throughout my life, but in particular over the past couple years. I’ve struggled with substance abuse, sex addiction, anxiety, anger and a lot of neediness from my partners. I can see where much of these dark parts of me stem from, some obvious and some not so obvious. This knowledge and of course this channel are a real blessing. Teachings from Neville Goddard have shown me a real control or force of power that I did not know was there. Thank you for this channel
Thanks for this share my friend
Very happy to be here within this community you've created! Ive ignored my shadow for too long. Found out I had thyroid cancer in 2020 and it woke me up, I've been terrified of life, living, for as long as I can remember. Tried a small dose of mushrooms for the first time and I kept seeing my shadow out of the corner of my eye, she's waiting for me to really acknowledge her. Super excited to see that you post your meditation techniques, I've needed guidance there, gonna give them a try!!
Excellent and I hope to see you in the comments of those videos if you have any questions!
I see you are a member , so if you have any comments concerning meditation and yoga, feel free to email me…

I'm struggling atm to stay silent on lots of things if I tell everyone what I'm doing I feel like I'm over inflating my ego and acting from an anxious mind the more I don't say anything the better I am to myself meditations is helping me slow down and be more present
Loving the channel brother keep up the good work
It is written several places by sharing the deep knowledge with ppl that are not in alignment leaks ur energy n weakins ur own alignment. Spiritual Ego is a crafty one 😮
@@briandonovan4620 🤲
Soo good !
My friend Kay sent this to me, i just returned from my Sunday morning market walk, aware of how disappointed i am with humanity, laughing at myself in a compassionate way, partially disappointed in myself for being disappointed in the specie i am a part of. Have been hiding in the forest which was of great value but I am aware its not a long time solution..
Now clearly on the way of accepting the asshole within and embracing that sucker, puts a lighter shine on the game of my life.
By the way, i write this not necessarily for you to read but more for me to grasp where i am at. Non the less by saying this i am aware that you are me and i am you...
This is a beautiful comment and I appreciate it a lot my dude thanks
Brother. Can't wait to watch this one again w my girl. Very insightful and just so genuine. You're doing great things. I'm proud of you mayne 💪
Thank you so much for making a return to the video the algorithm gods have smiled upon us :)
CONFIRMATIONS!!! Nailed it!! 🖤🙌🏼 Thank you! 😉
Thank you for your service - all helps navigating this place 🙏💜🔥💜🙏
You are so welcome
I loved your content before, but this just put me over the moon. I still struggle with boundaries, but I'm working through my shadow, and my lower vibratory moments are less. You are amazing ❤ Thank you for all you do ❤
Dude your amazing. Thank you for sharing your light. I too struggle with substances but have been sober now for almost a year . Love that you put that in there. Your channel has brought a lot of perspective in my life . Thank you .
You are so welcome
These videos are fascinating. Remind of the "meetings after the meetings" so much!
I absolutely agree. The sacrifice must be the self. All systems tend towards chaos, but new systems can emerge from the chaos, if you allow the chaos to die.
I'm so glad I stumbled on your channel. I'm in what I belive (bc of ur vids) to be the 4th stage of the dark night and I just want to say thank you. I walked into recovery a few years ago and I'm not as stuck on toxic thoughts as I once was. This journey is insane but love is. Haha.
This is beautiful, thank you
This one hit home for me. 7 years no alcohol 👍🏻 for me. Work in progress on my other shadows but going great 🙌🏻 your content is helping huge. Loving this stuff . Started buying and read books I see on your book shelf 🫶🏼
Nice!!!
hey there, i think i begun my spiritual journey after my first heartbreak. im 23 and this girl changed everything for me. showed me true love, selflessness, honesty and all that good stuff. it wasn't until i lost her and went through all the pain that i did that i found spirituality and what i think was the reason i met her and that was to make me the man i am proud to be today and keep working on everyday. your videos helped my find an outlet for my energy and immense love, she showed me that love like this is powerful in all the beautiful ways it can be shared and passed onto others and yourself.
Love it thanks!
Who the hell am I and what is my purpose ?
Love your programs you present. Opening my eyes to what is out there and broadening my mind. Going through a divorce after 40 + years is my dark night of the soul.. I feel i am starting to awaken from the autopilot path I had been on for decades.
Love you man and thanks again...
Thanks, man! You remind me of something my teacher once said "Everybody you know is in your head"
Yup lol
"Holy shit,I didn't think I was capable of that" this is the first hint at your shadow and wut lies within. To ignore it is dangerous,extremely dangerous. Until it is recognized and explored, the moments that surprise you by acts you've committed will continue to haunt you.
There is also the anima/animus, which is the feminine qualities of man and the masculine qualities of women,obviously having an effect on the persona/ ego structure.
I do give caution tho, the labyrinth of the self and the darkness within is NOT to be taken lightly. One can lose themselves and not in a good way.
Fear of the unknown leads to demonizing something for survival/Ego reasons. This is really base consciousness operating at its finest.
Anger is a fantastic tool and for anyone I recommend a book called "anger,the misunderstood emotion".
Knowing thy self is to kno another and to understand that one only exists because of the other. Batman and Joker are a wonderful analogy of this.
Bringing the subconscious to the forefront is to recognize behaviour and thought patterns and then following them to the root....bring a flashlite.
I love you💜

You are so right about construction, I am also into it for 10 years now and wanting to do my own thing at this point. Enlightenment is incompatible with employment. Once you become enlightened you will become unexploitable.
Hello there!! I'm a big fan of your channel and I like your POV on these esoteric concepts. I have also struggled with substance abuse and alcoholism for over half my life, I'm 36 and I am in recovery. It's been a long and very hard road and I know I still have a long way to go mentally and physically. Thanks for another great video!!
This is perfect and thanks for sharing. Same boat
@LibraryoftheUntold so question what happen after death is there good place bad place or recarnation? Also I am confuse can you explain gnostic beliefs also how get saved in in ther beliefs?
"To serve others, it's to serve yourself." I too, struggle with addiction, and I really enjoy the philosophical tidbits from Carl Jung you so elegantly articulate in these videos. I've learned a lot about Carl Jung in both school and in the
12 step programs such as AA and NA.
Saaaaame bro, thank you for sharing.
Yes!
You are not alone brother ❤ keep spreading the truth
I struggle with anger and violence.... As if I were born in the wrong times because causing pain brings me so much pleasure. I have learned to suppress my desire for pain in my life due to laws and boundaries. I wish people more understood that some of us were born for war, pain is pleasure, and what most consider fear others consider the best known drug to mankind! You can literally taste it in the air... When I feel what I believe is fear I feel a switch happen and I feel a rush of exitement and a calling from somewhere deep that tells me its time to destroy anything and everything human, including myself... The only true reason I control my addiction to rage is my greater hatred of prison and the absence of my two Cane Corso pups... If not for them I would definetly spend my remaining natural life in the S.H.U. Your channel has helped me in ways I cannot explain and I just wanted to share what I am sure you already know. Not all of us want to be saviors and saints...Some of us are here to keep the balance, heaven wouldn't be sound so great if not for those of us giving free tours of hell...
I feel this comment in my damn bones!
@@LibraryoftheUntold You're doing great work friend... I am never speechless... I am now... Your so close...
Thank you for what you do no matter what it is because you do what you have to do.
It’s crazy that there’s so much information to dive in on variety of topics that always brings you back to the same thing. It being ourselves and the reflection and projection of the outer. Within and without.
Very addictive personality here. Working on it daily!
Love your work brother!
Thank you thank you thank you!
You are so welcome!
my shadow is the need for approval, it almost literally makes me feel pain when I do something wrong and hurt or upset others, but I'm already working on it, it's not good for me to sabotage myself so much, everyone makes mistakes and the comfort I try to give others It's not always reciprocal, so fuck it, I need to focus on myself now, at least to improve myself until I learn how to balance it
The metaphor you are describing regardind ''Facing the dragon'' Is basically what Stoicism philosophy is all about. Its one of my favorite perspective on life but i strugle af with applying it irl ! lol :(
Thank you for your materials. The/your journey undertaken is in resonance with the healing of the Divine Masculine. ♂️🙏
No problem and thank you too
👏another banger! Thanks dude. Keep dropping hammers!
Always!
I can relate sooooo f***ing much with the whole ''Im tough as the other guys, im not a nerd, im a badass'' vibe you described. I felt like that was what people expected of me and sh*t. Only when i reached a certain age &/or maturity have i been able to accept some of the thing that truly make me happy like Arts, Literature, Philosophy, Theology, Science, etc.....................................
I just realised, continuing watching the rest of the video, that its pretty dope that you take time to bring that subject up, sharing personal experiences & preaching that its okay to enjoy intellectual things, etc.. Once again my man, thank you for the great quality content.
Made my day bro thank you
I need to accept my anger at others in order to understand that their prospective of me is a reflection of myself.
it's a humbling experience for us all to be in this body on this planet trying to figure out what the hell is going on with us and the world... this channel is beautiful gift for a community that longs for the truth. I love that you combine the esoteric, materialistic and psychological aspects as they are connected like ice, water and steam. Personally I have struggled all my life with a deep sense of inferiority and self sabotage complex to get back at the people I have believed had done me wrong. A whole life was spent on building something precious to then throwing it away in a flash. After years of personal work and having opened up to anything to end the suffering I can say the suffering was worth every bit of it as it has shown me a world of immense beauty I was blind to before. The treasures, your channel included, the beauty and peace I have found were worth every desperate hour and every wound. thank you !!!
What a wonderful read^ and thank you as well!
I love your channel brother recovered alcoholic myself..... it led me down alotbof rabbit holes and on the mission of self discovery and to help reach and teach others... it's beautiful to watch broken people so we think turn into mighty warriors kings and queens sages teachers and guiding lights my full salute to you sir 🫡
Looking at my damn town rn!!
🇯🇲I spent the last 16 years of my life completely under the persona of I can "win my way back to being right" through 1) religion; the mask of credited minister/pastor. 2)through the mask of provision; (married with kid)

But that dark night of the soul... Did wonders. Be blessed y'all. Light love Adonai

I just watched an interview with former Marine sniper AJ Pasciuti, and he reminded me of the ‘Tapestry’ concept of why life, having such chaos and why any god would allow bad shit to happen 😊to good people, said that a Rabbi told him that when you look at the back of a tapestry (life and it’s chaos) all you see is a messy criss cross of string and knots. But after we have fulfilled our purpose in this life, we will see the front of the tapestry and fully understand WHY bad shit happens to us (not that I condone any bad happening to anyone). This concept is a proof that we can use to help us know that life after death is the world we come from and the tapestry, while still being weaved I guess, is hung in heaven for all to see with an understanding of life’s purpose. Nature reflects the structure of heaven.
Wonderful comment
I worry about shit that i have no control over, i don't trust myself when i know i should. i feel that beast of fear has a grip on me that i'm working on making friends with with all my might. i have let go of so many terrible ways of living and habits this last year, and i feel closer than ever to becoming whole. I must integrate my fear and find an outlet for my animal instinct in a healthy way. i have been meditating on a way have a healthy ritual to let this part of myself out regularly that is does not cause harm to my fellow man, if anyone has found a shadow ritual that works for them i would be gracious for your sharing. It's so nice to not feel alone, knowing you are all here watching these videos and walking the path is a beautiful thing.
This is a beautiful thing and thanks for letting that out
I'm fighting off fentanyl withdrawals cold turkey...Just gotta say this channel has been making it easier than going to detox or a state ran facility for help..I appreciate you
You got this! And this is wonderful to read. That sounds awful but you are doing the right thing. A couple weeks in hell is a small price to pay for a new and wonderful life!
Brilliant video. Thank you so much. ❤️
And thank you for stopping by
Man I love this channel! Hoping you're all having a great one on this crazy ass journey to wherever it is we are going!
I love your videos, thank for your work. I don't struggle with anything, really, I nailed this reality as F after hard working on my mind since I am 15 yo. Now I am working on creating content to make people aware and spreading the awaraness. You are an example of mine.
Did the ditches while the ground is dry 👍🏼
I was just watching one of your don't run from your shadow video on UA-cam. you mentioned u struggled with substance abuse. I'm in recovery as well I had a horrible run with drugs and that side of me I embrace to the fullest and get a lot of my strengths today from it. iv been listening to your videos for only a week now. all of the hard work you do for the information you provide is very impressive and Im grateful for your passion for other humans I appreciate every video I have watch. thank you
This comment just reached into my chest and gave my heart a hug
I’m a crack cocaine, heroin and alcohol addict……
Thanks for your lovely words. I watch every new video.
God bless.
Damn that is about everything. Good luck my friend.
Thanks mate, I love your videos and eagerly await every new one. I’m waiting on the third part to gnostic lore.
I only got the confidence to mention my problems because you said that you struggled with similar issues.
Just watched the Shadow of the soul and totally what I’m experiencing right now. Moved out of the city to a trailer that has nothing. Just fixing it up. Got my sewer in by myself and it gave me such a step up in this dark night I’m experiencing. Now I get my water in. Thank you for your help help bro I appreciate you very much and so does my subconscious!
Well, I feel this 100% because we were on the same page man!
This is a very powerful topic that is going be very eye-opening to a lot of people, including myself. I am here for it as always.
I stumbled upon your channel in my seemingly endless search for metaphysical answers to questions I don’t have.
The way you create your videos seems to always have me laughing at your humor & the way you don’t take these big matters so seriously & at the same time I have my mind blown and so many piqued interests and questions by the knowledge bombs you drop.
I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos, the knowledge you put out there which is somehow what I didn’t know I needed or wanted to hear. The way you explain them. And the way you make it relatable to everyone. Thank you for all you do. And thank you for feeding my insatiable appetite for this knowledge. I can’t wait until the next one drops 🖤
Coming out this Friday! Feel free to join the chat live
Ooh the Shadow, my favourite topic and one I'm heavily involved
I will be staying up for this one
P.s perhaps Joey you should also think about releasing your wonderful music on a cd so as everyone can enjoy them ❤
Soon….
I've had my struggles with drugs as well as the sex addictions that was boosted by drug use. I've been clean for a few years now. I'm working a VERY well paying job now, which seemed liked a total pipe dream a handful of years ago. I'm happy, my health is slowly getting better. I'm blessed.
Bro!!!!! I wish I could describe how much you've helped with your service! Especially this new vid and your vulnerability! My gratitude is truly ineffable
Love it brother! And thank you
Another very insightful presentation. Astrologically, it is Scorpio season, the perfect time for this type of deep introspection. Yeah, I think the 'trick' is love everything about yourself. Also, I think sometimes the term 'shadow' is misleading. The 'dark side' of myself was, or is, simply a means of protecting myself....not the healthiest necessarily. It has nurtured me, now it is time for me to nurture it by loving and embracing it. - Exactly, villains/comrades. Love your visuals also. Again, I will have to listen to this a dozen times. Thanks a million.
Thanks Jazzy !!!
Thank you for being so rich and articulate. I feel like no words are wasted on what you have to say.
Incredible stuff, just found your work so glad I did
Welcome to the community bro I appreciate you stopping by
0:20 Usually i read things and apply to multiple subjects and objects so i understand in various ways and as a kid i used to think of the negatives before sleeping but i didnt run, i thought and accepted and imagined a different future. This quote reminded me of that and helps me to understand that i havent been doing that recently and really ive been using the feeling to stay down. I think we do it to ourselves and it stops us from moving on or slows us down or ultimately leads us down a path that ends with regerts. We take in the things that create chaos and get lost as we try to understand or decipher the pattern, pain, fear, sadness and other emotions move through us and the stable patterns fit easily like a square in a square hole but the chaotic feelings are like triangles and we cant fit it but we keep trying, we gotta put it in the triangle hole and let it through. Feel and let it pass just like the happiness passes so easily because change leads to both and its up to ourselves to navigate and feel. Remember them and understand/grow.
thanks for your work.
That quote about anxiety from Alan Watts is so spot on. I’ve always said “anxiety is simply conspiracy theories about yourself.”
Having a healthy amount of fear can be beneficial to living beings. Fear is what keeps us alive in many cases. Like when I visited the Grand Canyon - I had a healthy fear of falling off the edge, which ultimately kept me from going too close and taking a wrong step. But the trick is using the fear that dwells within you as a positive force, rather than a paralyzing one. It takes practice, and not letting healthy fear stoke unnecessary anxiety is what I work on every day.
Has anyone ever experienced adversity, and said to themselves “Wow, I am SO glad that I was so anxious and stressed about that!” after the fact?
I don’t think so.
I just had brain surgery in June to remove a benign brain tumor. I’m all healed up now and everything went well. I attribute my successful recovery to having a positive and stress-free mindset more than anything else. I had fear, but at the same time I didn’t- I knew that as long as I believed in myself that I would get thru it, I would.
Fantastic video as usual dude. I learned SO much about myself thru my journey dealing with that tumor, and am a firm believer that pain and suffering can help your spirit grow more than anything else. From dirt grows flowers- from darkness comes light…😉👍
(By the way I’m an addict too. My addicted self just won’t seem to go away no matter what I do. So I look for ways to manage its presence rather than try to eradicate it.)
Kratum?gabbepentin600mg?subs?what you on?
You know the soboxone shot is east to come off bro,always around to chat
@@weirdersmarterricher1545 subs right now. I kicked a pretty gnarly heroin habit back in 2011 and have been on subs ever since. I feel blessed to have gotten out of the madness before fentanyl hit. However, now I need to get off the subs. I’ve been on them for way too long.
I will get there- I just quit the antidepressants they put me on when I first quit the dope, and I’m still feeling the withdrawal from those (never again!). So once that’s all done, I’ll tackle the subs.
I have had to use Kratom personally yes
@@LibraryoftheUntold ya I’ve used kratum.And subs.but for me tbh gabbepentin worked the best to walk it down to a bearable level

So yeah...i have been thru the dark night of the soul, and i have serious addiction and alcohol feeders too. Just want to say thank you for your channel. It seems we are being given the answers again, to wake up and do something. Im not there yet...but the 1st step is realizing "we aren't in kansas anymore". Seeing the fence let's you know you have a choice to stay in the herd, or go and see what's outside the corral. FAFO.
I am a Priestess and an energy field bodywork practitioner - my beliefs and rituals, the ways of being which WORK FOR MY BODY-MIND, are easily perceived as the archetype of “witch”
I woke up on November 1st in shocking awareness that I have been blocking channels of guidance because of MY PERCEPTION of myself as a witch… and ALL of the RISKS historically with having others recognize what I do, how I do, as witchcraft.
My cognitive dissonance is dissolving … Everything I have ever asked to become, the calling I am receiving, the best use of my brief time here as a product of nurture & nature, is coming to pass.
Do I SUFFER? I will only suffer if I stay attached to all of the FEARFUL paradigms I integrated in my youth.
I thought I was afraid of what others might think about me.
No.
I have to make peace with the judgment I have about the archetype of witch. I am molting… shedding dead layers, growing.
It was magical and unsurprising to see this video NOW --
And SO appreciated! Thank you for profound resonance, support for authentic growth.
Thank you!
I'm the shapeshifter archetype
I love this video, so much knowledge packed in! Thank you.
Thank you very much, this is one of the underrated ones I think
I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you so much for sharing this truth with us 💜
Confusion, pain, & consequences are the price of admittance... 20+ yrs sober took me yrs to see I was still living in self will... there is alway a deeper understanding to obtain... to thy own self be true, know thyself, admit my faults to the creator and my fellows. We are all the same... brothers
Damn right, And I am currently trying to do the same.
It is awesome! You addresse all the subjects I have spent my life in deep thought over, and tye them together (audio & visual) very well. I can't figure out a way to send you a private email (I'm old) . But I think I can help, if there is a private way to exchange ph #'s or a way I can send an invite to zoom.
What a time to be alive. So glad to find this art.
Good to have you over!
Hey man, I’m in the construction industry as well as being sober. A carpenter for many years then a commercial diver, now in project management. I’m also a huge fan of jungian psych having read quite a bit in the arena. We both obviously know how much of a role he played in the creation of the fellowship. We should exchange contact info even if just emails. It’s rare I hear someone that is so in-line with my own persona.
Right on man, and yes

I struggle with almost every aspect of my life, I took on the invisible child without needs persona to cope with an alcoholic physicaly and mentally abusive and dad. I never learned how to set healthy boundaries or emotional regulation or anything other than survival, obviously i turned to drugs very young and have tried getting clean a bunch of times even lasted a few years once but I'm could not figure out what it was That would make me relapse and not even realizing it was happening before I would be full blown using. I have been trying to give myself therapy in preparation for the next attempt scheduled for 2 weeks from now. This channel has been helping me see the nature of how we are and that there is so much more to life . Also Tim Fletcher has a 60 part series on understanding and healing from trauma that has been crucial in my journey of survival and thought someone else could find as much value in his presentations as me. Thanks for all the in depth videos on very complex topics but explained in a way that I can comprehend. Feeling hopeful for a change.
Bro, I cannot tell you enough how much I relate to this comment and it seems to be much more common than people seem to talk about
Heroin addict here sober since november when i joined the methadone program.. but this is just a symptom of the inner darkness i struggle with... A lot of rage and deep cynicism even though on the other hand im a positive and joyful leaning person. Struggles with my gender, the shame i was presented with for being femake as a kid never quite left me. I always rooted for the villain as a kid because i understood them and seem to have a tendency for self destruction which is why i love people like janis joplin and deeply empathize with her.m theres more much more but ay least this channel fulfills my desire for secret knowledge to some degree.. ny curiosity will never be satiated but thank god for channels like this!!!
You articulate this Pandora’s box of knowledge very well. Thank you for your insight🙏🏼
I'm going on 12 years sober, and having watched all your videos more than once, somehow didn't know we had that in common. Thanks Joe for first, keeping my mind distracted, second for being entertaining enough for me to explore these topics on my own. But most of all, for being a part of creating a surprisingly awesome New Me.
I struggle with addiction, too. I try to fast for a week once a year to repair my body, but I feel so at peace in my routine that it's getting harder to do. I could use a boost in vibes to get over this hump. I wish I had the money to just take a week off and do a dark cave retreat. I think a lot of us need some deep unplugging like that. Reboot the operating system.
Dude, exactly the same same thing here I habitually use my vacation time as detox time and I wish I could just stay away from it. It’s like I break away from it easily but then end up strolling back up with a smile on my face like hey ol buddy.
Brother I too am a recovering alcoholic recently came across your channel 🎉 your an amazing soul I'm hooked thank you. For opening up.
Welcome aboard!
@LibraryoftheUntold have you tried the emerald tablets of thoth I'm on my 5th time it makes everything you say make sense to me. I feel your down the same rabbit hole joey and I love it only been sober a year and found out so much about myself thanks to kind hearted people like yourself not in it to make a buck off the little guy.. you really help people I notice in the comments hence why I was drawn to respond and simply say cheers
I struggle with smoking and drinking. I struggle with integrating after awakening. All one. All the universe. My world crumbled when I woke. I let everything go. Business, house, animals, money. I saw through everyone's eyes, even animals. Knowing its all me. All source.
Sorry, here is no right working for this. I know I'm always speaking to self, I can't even be intimate with another aspect of self. Been celibate for a year. Closed Business in 2021 and haven't worked since. I saw the big bang. I feel im just waiting for it to happen again.
I really don't kno how to integrate any of this and keep "living in the dream" knowing I AM ALL THAT I AM.
To know everything is to know nothing.
Is anyone feeling this way or experiencing this or in it right now???
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love your videos. I watch 2 a day every day. Thank you so much for taking the time to make them. 🙏🧘🏽♀️🪷🦋
People often think that someone preaching sobriety, but they themselves are not sober is a hypocrite. It's not hypocrisy at all though if the person is open about it (not even just to others but themselves too). A hypocrite is "one who assumes a false appearance". I also urge others to be sober partly because I KNOW what it's like to be addicted and currently still struggle with addictions.
Yes yes, exactly right.
Your comments are always on point by the way Ms. Draingang, appreciate it!
Ive struggled to figure out what the importance of the shadow work was until i thought about the balance in life we need the duality of us all its important to know you have the capability to do whats needed in certain situations but im still learning but love this content man youre killing it
Perfectly said and thank you 🙏
your rubber band analogy is the best way i have heard finding balance described. thank you
Glad it was helpful
Men are from Mars Women are from Venus, has a good rubber band analogy for time together and time apart also.
This is the greatest video I’ve ever watched. That song on the end was insanely amazing.
I struggled with infidelity due to insecurities... I have fought the good fight for over 2 years now and kept faithful. I choose to fight by way of surrender. I surrender to my truth and recognize my weaknesses and work on strength daily....
Wonderful and thanks for this honesty
I struggle with depression and a lot of times at my worst moments I feel guilty for being like this and feeling like im not “strong enough” to be normal and not depressed, but I’m slowly but surely beginning to accept and embrace that part of myself and learn that life has its ebbs and flows and I give credit to myself for still being here and not giving up
Yup, I feel this one!
Thanks, love the video man. I’m in recovery as well, just got 4 months and am on a journey of my own spiritual enlightenment. Your channel is amazing and love the content you make! Thanks so much, appreciate you and your work!
My list of inadequacies in my lower case s self are far too long winded to try to cover fully here but much love and respect for the work you have done in this lifetime and the wisdom that you share on this channel.
Thanks man. Your videos encourage me to face my shadow and walk side by side with it so I can feel the inner light when I succeed in what I must. Thank you, I hope this comment helps you see that what you do helps others! Knowledge is power but it can defo be a tough balance when the cup runs full, so thanks for the boost to better myself!
Love it, thank you
I tiptoe around the idea of real shadow work for fear of, well Everything! :/
My enormous ego caused me to think I was going through an ego death or becoming enlightened a couple of years ago only to be smacked in the face by this fantastic Channel. I’m so grateful to have found it! Thank you.
Thanks
And thank you!
Great Video/Lecture.
*My shadow is filled with fear, laziness, rejection, acceptance, and RSD (Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria)
*I would overcompensate by trying to make everyone happy, and ignoring myself.
*Once I Recognized my trauma and went to a therapist, I was able to work on my mental health, ADHD, OCD. The medication, and taking with professionals has helped me and my relationships immensely.
It’s such a joy to see a new upload from you, enjoy the fascinating knowledge and humor. Definitely keep it up
Thanks bro. I was fortunate enough to find work that introduced me to Jung. I was doubly blessed to be able to apply his ideas and use them as I pleased...Once the bread and butter mbti work was done.
It hasn't been fortunate but endlessly pleasing that I took his ideas to heart.
Shadow is not the archetype to fear. The ego takes us deep into our own fantasies, if we are not sensitive enough to nip whatever buds it grows in.
People do not fear the shadow d8rectly, they fear the trauma that such change creates. Trauma is a concept of meaning rippling across time, it isnt real. Shock comes as pleasant surprise because it comes with no attachments. What we think meaningful has no meaning at all once we are growing into better integrations.
If one goes deep into the structure of information the archetypes can be reconciled with real impulses. Ego forms in a connection between heart and mind. Shadow forms in a relationship between body and heart. Persona comes alive in a bond of body and mind. Self is an alignment of emotional, mental, and physical expression. Shadow, ego, and persona are always embedded within someone's words and actions.
