I have been experimenting with active imagination. I have found that, due to my years of deep meditation, I am having trouble following a symbol or image during AI. It seems that because I have trained my mind to be empty, noting or observing thoughts as they arise and fall away without clinging, it is hampering my AI experience. Do you have any advice to help me practice AI?
I believe the difficult part in differentiating your shadow and dealing with projections is the energy the other person (upon whom we project) carries and their level of self awareness.
I mean, it may be that people we deeply hate actually hate us and we just perceive their energy. They are also projecting and we perceive their projections. But how can we deal with this phenomena is by dismissing their projection and having given it a name or made a distinction between what we really are and what the energy inside us makes us feel about that person. We can say, "Hey, I don't like that person but it is because he/she is tyrant and I could be a tyrant myself but I realize that dark side in myself and cannot let that bitch or devil consume me or ruin my day."
This feels so essential to me. You clarify the murky curiosities of my experiences that the materialistic worldview does not acknowledge.
I feel like I have intuitively been following guidance to create characters of myself. And the characters I’ve developed are trying to heal my soul and set me free of walking through life masked.
I am so grateful to you for sharing your remarkable studies in a way that I can digest.
