The light trap and zero confidence
And so we like to practise positive thinking, positive affirmations and we always wish for lots of good things. Just don’t formulate it negatively, no negations, you know all that …
However, many light workers fall into an evil trap, which I call “the light trap”. They think they are on the safe side because of their knowledge of cosmic laws and overlook the fact that there are cosmic laws that are superior or at least equal to others.
Let’s take a concrete example that I am very familiar with from the early days of my own self-employment: “I want more clients for my practice”
First of all, it’s a great wish, and there’s nothing wrong with that. More clients mean more people you can help and, of course, more income for the practice. And everyone needs income, because the rent doesn’t pay itself and there has to be something on the plate every day.
So now you are sending the wish for more clients into the universe and maybe you will get them. But what resonates with this wish? You are obviously not entirely satisfied with the current situation. Because if you want more of something, it means that you don’t have enough of it.
So if you want more clients, you’re also complaining that you don’t have enough.
But wait! A complaint? In the course of the light work? Where can you find something like that? But our material world is polar and where there is something bright and light, there is also something dark, a shadow.
And that is exactly what resonates with the universe in each of these wishes. In the example, the shadow obviously has something to do with the lack of clients. In other words, the lack of turnover, which brings us directly to fear. The fear of failure, of bankruptcy, of not having enough.
But fear is something that the average light worker wants nothing to do with. Hello? We work with light here, so there’s no fear, is there? That’s not possible!
Which leads us straight into the big trap. Because this fear can of course be repressed, brushed over, suppressed for a while. But the greater the great bright light component, the greater the fear. And at some point it will overrun us. With an illness, failure, whatever, there are many possibilities.
But what do we do with this realization?
Let’s take a closer look at the shadow. Because what’s the point, why does light work always have to be bright and radiant? It can also appear dark and threatening at times. So let’s take a look at what’s behind this fear. Why fear?
Aren’t we all part of the universe? Isn’t it OUR universe? Shouldn’t we have confidence? Bingo! We have already taken the shadow by the horns. Where there is fear, there is a lack of trust – in the headline I called it zero trust. The lack of trust in the universe.
This is exactly what the request in the example is about. If I want more clients for my practice, this only shows my lack of trust in the universe. Because why should my own universe, of which I am a part, deny me what I need? I don’t have to wish for that. That would be like wishing I could bite into the juicy steak in front of me because I’m afraid of hunger instead of just doing it.
So, where is this shadow threatening? It is not, it is simply there, wants to be seen and if we then manage to integrate it into our lives, we are one step further.
Light work has become work, the shadow is no longer a threat, it simply IS and we end up with much less stress.
But why doesn’t it work then?
This question often comes from people who have been working on themselves for a long time. Perhaps they are spiritual themselves. They have already recognized the shadow and don’t shy away from it. They do and do and work and … nothing!
The turnover is still missing, the soul mate is still not there, the desire to have children is still unfulfilled, or the illness is still there. What’s wrong with that?
The devil is often in the detail, and it’s very deep. It’s not just fear that resonates with our wishes and manifestations, but also doubt and – what’s almost worse – a completely invisible and imperceptible “can I do this?”, “is this possible for me?” and a “what if it really works?”
Most of the time, something resonates that cannot be put into words. Something intangible, something … yes … that cannot be explained in words.
But it’s there anyway and that’s exactly where I, as a shaman, really start to warm up. Because you really can’t perceive that in yourself. If you could, you would have solved the problem long ago.
I can’t do that myself either, by the way, and I also get regular supervision. Because someone else who is able to travel through the spiritual world can see where the problem lies. I can go on a search with you to find the cause, where this thing that cannot be grasped with words lies. I can lead you there and we can find the solution.
Letting go
And then comes the often most difficult task of all: letting go.
Often exactly what you want most of all. Why? Because you may have been so focused on this one goal and the way you imagined getting there that you no longer noticed the open path.
You do this by letting go at a very deep level. Not from the mind, but from the base.
Let’s walk this path together, what do you think?
