About Denying the Shadow Self

By St Germain

Channelled through Alexandra Mahlimay & Dan Bennack, March 2011

One of our clients asked about the "shadow of blame" that opposes her spiritual intentions. Her Soul purpose reading with Saint-Germain helped to put the matter into perspective. We hope you enjoy this portion of the reading, which is published with permission.

Question: "I know what I should and should not do. But my shadow self is making me fearful and guilty, as if everything is my fault. What is the meaning of this?"

Saint-Germain: Indeed, dear friend. You are right about the fact that this shadow self is not who you are. There is nothing dark within you that is chasing you, or trying to keep you in fear and guilt.

In Essence, you are not even “light,” as many of you perceive this to be. When you expect the light within you to oppose darker thoughts and feelings, you only legitimize the "dark" - making it seem real and powerful, when it is not.

Your real identity - your Divinity - is beyond duality. It is beyond light and dark, black or white. It's without positive or negative attributes, as human beings perceive this to be.

Many times, as humans journey into remembrance of their Divinity, they are led to believe that they have to dissociate themselves from everything that is dark or unpleasant about themselves, the world, or their experiences in it - and live only in the “light”.

But this attitude, or belief system, only succeeds in structuring a world of experiences in which there is something within or without them that must be attacked or destroyed. It creates a world of experiences that is structured around opposing forces - good and bad, pleasant and unpleasant, acceptable and unacceptable, etc.

When you are preconditioned to view yourself and the world this way, how can you accept your Wholeness? How can you accept your incorruptible and perfectly Divine Self, or see this in another person?

What you need to do now is give yourself permission to remember and experience the unified nature of your Divine Self. The fundamental being That You Are is beyond shadow and light. And because it judges nothing about you as being unacceptable or wrong, it exists beyond fear and guilt.

When you tap into this current of Divine Awareness, you will notice it right away. You will begin to feel at peace with yourself. This calm may be unfamiliar at first, simply because the light and dark struggling within you have have not allowed you to recognize it.

As you finally accept that your Divinity is beyond all thoughts of right or wrong, or feelings of guilt and shame, then true peace will settle about you in all that you do, express, and feel. You will start to experience the peace of non-judgment and the truth of Self-acceptance.

All is well, my friend. Take this bold step now, to remember your Divinity.

I AM Saint-Germain.
