Are You My Shadow

A simple seeker was deeply engrossed in reading “The Shadow’s Gift” by Robin Robertson, in which the author shares and discusses his personal experiences with psychic mediums, while maintaining an open mind as to their authenticity.

“What exactly would an open mind look like, in this instance?”

“Neither absolutely believing, nor absolutely disbelieving, but keenly interested in understanding exactly what was happening.”

“Happening?”

“In terms of the subconscious activity of, or through, the channel or medium.”

“What’s the difference?”

“Between a channel and a medium?”

“Yes.”

“Perhaps, in essence, they’re the same.”

“Then, why did you mention both?”

“Are they not the same?”

“No.”

“Then, what’s the difference?”

“The difference is one of function.”

“Please explain.”

“A medium communicates between physical people and non-physical people.”

“And, a channel?”

“She serves a non-physical person, or purpose.”

“She?”

“Yes, you.”

“Are you my shadow?”

“In a way, yes.”

“What does that mean?”

“It means that we’re each incomplete without the other.”

“In what way?”

“I teach you, and you share my teaching with your blog readers.”

“There aren’t that many of them.”

“There will be.”

A simple seeker’s note to herself

Looking back on what Spirit said, what did I learn about mediums and channels?

“Did you learn anything?”

“Yes.”

“Then, what?”

“I learned that I seem to channel some of your teaching.”

“How?”

“As a radio transceiver.”

“What about a newscaster?”

“No.”

“How do they differ?”

“I seem to share the essence of what you share with, or teach me, but only as clearly as I can understand it, and then I share it with my Facebook friends and the Facebook groups that I’m a member of.”

“Do you know how many people pay any attention to what you post or comment?”

“No, but I’m learning so very much about life from you, and I enjoy sharing what you teach me with my Facebook community. Also, I’m gaining experience and learning from some posts and comments of others.”

“Yes. It’s a win-win situation.”

A Journal of a journey, with Spirit as my guide, using the wisdom of I Ching, an ancient explanation of change as a necessary part of life, to understand Life, and where, how, and why my life has developed as it has, and where do I go from here, and how, and why. My mission, purpose, or desire is to share my struggle toward and passion for enlightenment, without having a clear idea of what it will look like when I find it, and I intend to find it, sooner or later. Meanwhile I seem to be struggling toward enlightenment without a clear road map, unless Spirit, my constant companion (did He invite himself along, for laughs, perhaps?) is hiding it from me, for whatever reason. Vancouver, BC Canada is the only place I care to live, in this world. Perhaps it's not entirely by choice. My name is carved into a nearby sidewalk, as if to remind me where I belong. I am blessed to have Spirit as a teacher. Just ask him.
