I admit you're right in an abstract sense, I've long said that all the people you 'know' only exist in your head. They're a construct your brain creates from experiences. They may have very little in common with the real people out there. That's quite disturbing. I've often realized people have a grotesquely distorted view of me, either positive or negative. It's also true that we worry about the wrong and completely irrelevant things and are bound by invisible shackles that aren't real.

You know thee story. When baby elephants are young, they are tied to a rope that is strong enough to keep them in one place. The animals learn that when they try to break free, they fail because the rope restrains them. Consequently, their mind is then trained to accept that struggling against the rope is futile.
As the elephant grows up, he becomes strong enough to easily break the restraining him, yet he long has given up on even trying - and thus remains restrained for the rest of his life.

The conclusion from that? I am not so sure. hat happens when the elephant breaks loose? Will he fly away to freedom? No. He will be beaten and properly restrained - or even killed. So against stupid abstract fears like arachnophobia? Sure, breaking your shackles works. Against real-world annoyances? Of course, if my sandnigger neighbors constantly make noise, I can go over and shoot them in the head and burn their house down. That however doesn't mean I can go back home and live there peacefully. You understand Where I am getting. We live in a society.

So tell me how your shadow work works irl without becoming a psychopath or druggie living in a solipsistic fantasy world.
