The Field and The Knower

The Field and The Knower

“There is suffering.”

Suffering and Shadows

Suffering is inevitable. This is not a pessimistic view but a reality observed by every major spiritual tradition, especially Buddhism. The Buddha’s first noble truth declares,

“There is suffering.”

From birth to death, through sickness, aging, loss, and death, suffering weaves its way into every facet of existence. Physical suffering is one thing, but mental suffering—anxiety, despair, fear, loneliness—torments the modern person in ways far more subtle and pervasive.

As the Buddha stated,

“Attachment is the root of suffering.”

The constant identification with thoughts, emotions, and desires perpetuates the mental anguish that many try to avoid or suppress. Yet, no amount of material wealth, relationships, or fleeting pleasure can shield anyone from this suffering.

The mind, with its endless cycles of craving and aversion, guarantees it. The shadow is growing—whether through personal loss, global crises, or the internal battles of the mind, suffering is at our doorstep.

However, we are not powerless. Non-attachment is the key. But non-attachment is not about being numb; it is about anchoring yourself so deeply within that the external storm cannot shake your inner core.

Meditation and self-reflection become the foundation of this inner strength. As the Buddha taught,

“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”

But to cultivate this inner peace, you must practice it rigorously.

Building a strong anchor point in meditation is essential to minimize suffering. This anchor is what prevents the mind from being swept away by the inevitable hardships of life. Non-attachment requires consistency, not just intellectual understanding.

It is a practice of letting go, not just of material things, but of identification with the ego self. The Bhagavad Gita states:

“When a man gives up all desires that enter his mind and when he is satisfied within himself by himself, then he is said to be steady in wisdom.”

Prepare yourself. Suffering will come, but through a steady practice of non-attachment and meditation, you can develop the resilience to endure it. “Pain is certain, suffering is optional,” said the Buddha.

The shadow of suffering will always be present, but you are not defenseless. Strengthen your anchor.

We must first accept that we are bound by the ego. The mind, though often revered as our greatest asset, can also be our greatest obstacle. It isn’t as flawless as we might think.

There is no shame in acknowledging this. In fact, true strength lies in openly confronting the parts of ourselves we prefer to hide—the shadow aspects that shape much of our suffering.

The shadow, in all its forms, is something we all carry within us. Whether it’s unprocessed emotions, unresolved trauma, or traits we reject in ourselves, the shadow is a powerful force. Denying it only strengthens its hold. As Carl Jung famously said,

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

It’s not about pretending the shadow doesn’t exist or feeling ashamed of it. It’s about bringing it to light through awareness. The moment you acknowledge your shadow is the moment transformation can begin.

We should make it a habit to look at our shadows, to accept them as part of who we are, without judgment. This is your divine work—the work of turning darkness into light.

Transmuting the shadow is not only a personal duty but a collective one. By working on yourself, you work on the world.

Acceptance of misery is key, but it doesn’t mean succumbing to it. Instead, it means working actively to make the world a little less miserable. You begin by making yourself whole.

Reflect on this:

“We all carry shadows within us. To claim otherwise is either a lie or a sign that one remains unconscious of their deeper self—this simply means the initiation has yet to occur.

The moment of initiation is when the veil lifts, revealing these shadows for what they are. Once this happens, the choice is yours:

Will you manipulate the world through the shadow’s influence, or will you undertake the sacred work of transmuting that energy and healing it?”

The shadow is not your enemy. It is a teacher, waiting for you to recognize its lessons. To work with the shadow is to embark on a path of deep alchemy—the alchemy of the soul.

When you face it, you transform ignorance into wisdom, darkness into light, and separation into unity. This is the real work. This is the journey toward liberation.

Now, ask yourself: What shadow resides within you? What have you been avoiding, or what are you too afraid to face? It’s time to look within, to see the shadow for what it truly is, and begin the work of transmuting it.

This is not only your personal task but an essential part of your existence. You may also see these shadows reflected in others. Rather than reacting or trying to control them, strengthen your own inner anchor.

Give them space to grow, just as you give yourself space to evolve. Non-attachment is essential. Accept and observe the shadow, whether it is within you or in others, with the light of consciousness.

Allow it to be seen without judgment or identification. This is one of the ways true transformation and healing can take place.

If it feels appropriate, have a conversation with yourself or with the other person about the shadow. Do this with the intention of reducing suffering and bringing awareness, accepting that suffering is part of life. The goal is to alleviate misery, not to add to it.

The aim is not to judge, but to bring awareness to the shadow, so that both parties can move toward growth and transformation.

Uniting the Psyche

The path to transcending the shadows begins with The Noble Eightfold Path—a guide to liberation, not just from external suffering, but from the internal chains of the mind.

This path is not a set of moral rules but a roadmap to the evolution of consciousness, urging us to rise above the cycle of ego, desire, and fear that keeps us bound to the lower planes of existence.

The pendulum swing of life—between joy and sorrow, light and dark—is inevitable. Yet, we are not bound to its lower arcs. We must ascend to a higher plane of consciousness, where the dualities cease to dominate us.

  • 1. Right Understanding: Know the nature of reality. Suffering is not something we escape; it’s something we transcend by understanding its source. Attachment to the egoic self, to the symbols and stories of the material world, is the root of all misery. We must see beyond the illusions.
  • 2. Right Intention: Purify your will. Align your desires not with material gains or fleeting pleasures but with the inner work of uniting the psyche. It’s the psyche’s fragmentation that manifests as chaos and destruction—wars within, wars without.
  • 3. Right Speech: Words are spells. Every word carries vibration, and each vibration can either bind us further to the shadows or liberate us. Speak with the clarity of truth, with words that dissolve illusion, not strengthen it.
  • 4. Right Action: Every movement of the body should be a dance in harmony with the higher Self. The physical is not separate from the spiritual; it is an extension. Shamanic dances, those ancient rituals, were a reset for the psyche—a way to unite what was fragmented. In our modern age, that connection is lost, and the energy, instead of transforming, festers into shadow.
  • 5. Right Livelihood: How you live, how you eat, how you exist—all of it affects your vibration. You cannot ascend in mind if your life is rooted in actions that degrade your spirit. Your work, your relationships, your environment must support the journey upward.
  • 6. Right Effort: The work is continual. The process is fall and get back up again. Life will knock you down; the shadows will reappear. But each time, you rise, stronger, more awake, more aligned with the higher Self. This is the alchemical process of transforming lead into gold, shadow into light.
  • 7. Right Mindfulness: Observe. The mind is a battlefield, where shadows and light constantly fight for dominance. But the key is to step back, to become the witness. Watch the pendulum swing, but do not be swept away by it. Remain anchored in the present, above the mental games of the ego.
  • 8. Right Concentration: Focus your mind. The ego will try to pull you into distractions, into endless cycles of desire, but your work is to sharpen your focus, to concentrate on the ultimate goal—unity, wholeness, the return to the formless.

We are living in a time of spiritual, mental, and physical crisis. The shadow energies that remain unprocessed within us are manifesting outwardly as wars, divisions, and global turmoil.

Religion, which once held the keys to these mysteries, has become stagnant. The symbols that were once gateways to the divine have been taken literally, worshiped as ends in themselves.

But symbols are merely pointers, signposts toward the unmanifested, the formless God.

We must stop worshiping the symbols and start understanding what they represent. The path is not through blind faith but through direct experience of the divine, the formless, the eternal.

The psyche must be united, for it is this split—between mind and spirit, ego and soul—that creates suffering. Techniques that once seemed strange—shamanic dances, rituals, ecstatic practices—were designed to unite these fragments, to heal the rift within.

When we lose these practices, we lose the reset, the balance. The energy gets stuck, and what should have been transformed into light is released as darkness—wars, destruction, and division.

Incorporating the Dionysian spirit offers a way to engage with the shadows in a manner that promotes release, not destruction. The ecstatic rituals of the ancients were small resets—adult ways of allowing the psyche to vent its energy in ethical, conscious ways.

Through dance, music, and ecstatic expression, we can release the shadows that build up inside us, preventing them from festering into chaos or inner division.

Yet, even in these moments of release, we must understand that no external pleasure, no wild abandon, can fill the deep void we all carry. Only by confronting that void—by knowing the vast emptiness within—can we learn to find true joy.

This is the paradox: only by diving into the nothingness do we realize that contentment, true satisfaction, can only come from within, from embracing the void rather than fearing it.

Many people live trapped in a low-vibration, ego-driven state of mind, unaware of the unconscious shadows and toxic behaviors they carry. These behaviors are often rooted in fear, guilt, and the unhealed wounds of the inner child.

They cannot embrace the Dionysian spirit—true ecstatic release—because they are fixated on ownership, seeking safety and worth in controlling and possessing.

This leads to an imbalance where, on one side, there is the empath, consumed by others’ pain, and on the other side, the narcissist, blind to their own.

Both remain unaware of their condition, living out these extremes without knowing who they are. But if we bring conscious awareness to our behaviors, we begin to break the chains of these unconscious patterns.

Slowly, we can see that no gods are waiting to punish us, and the rigid laws we think we must follow are not commandments to be obeyed but invitations to recognize the interconnectedness of all things in the universe, an interconnectedness based on love, not control.

This essence of interconnectedness is something we can only truly grasp when we experience both extremes—the light and the shadow—and learn to hold them both in our psyche. This is the Hermetic Principle of polarity: opposites are part of the same whole.

When we reconcile these extremes within ourselves, we reach a higher state of consciousness, where we dance with life instead of resisting it, understanding that judgment is not our task. The universal laws are already in place to maintain balance.

Our role is simply to live, learn, and evolve.

All mystics understand that desires are endless, the cycles of craving and suffering are endless, and even the pursuit of Dionysian pleasures eventually leads to a deeper truth.

When all desires have been exhausted and every extreme has been experienced, what remains is the nothingness—the void. This void is not a place of resistance or a split in the psyche, but the profound realization of the Self.

It is from this space of emptiness, this deep understanding of our true nature, that compassion flows naturally, unforced and unbound, as we finally recognize the interconnectedness of all life beyond the illusions of ego and desire.

The crisis we face now is a call for one more Prometheus, one more Lucifer—the bringer of light, the one who dares to defy the stagnation of society and bring knowledge, awareness, and transformation.

We are on the brink of another deluge, but it was never the physical waters of the Earth that were the true threat.

The flood has always been symbolic—a deluge of our own shadows, the unprocessed pain, fear, and ego that have accumulated over centuries.

Water, in ancient symbols, never referred to literal floods, but to the depths of the unconscious, the emotional and spiritual crises we avoid. The real danger is not external but within—an overflow of suppressed darkness.

To prevent being consumed by these forces, we must face and transmute our shadows, allowing the symbolic waters to cleanse and transform us, rather than letting them overwhelm and drown us.

Now is the time for a new awakening. To rise above fear, guilt, and the shadows of the mind. We must reclaim the divine spark within and remember that we are the creators of our reality.

Ascend the egoistic mind, unite the psyche, and bring light where there is darkness. The transformation begins within, and from that inner alchemy, the world will change.

The time for a new fire is now.


The Anchor

The body is the field, and the Self is the knower of the field. The goal of life is to understand this distinction. Through knowledge, discernment, and consistent practice, one can minimize suffering, though complete liberation is not possible in this world.

The aim is to reduce suffering as much as possible, while recognizing the inherent limitations of human existence.

Understanding the Field and the Knower

“The body is the temple of the soul, but it is perishable, transient, and subject to decay.”

“The Self is neither born nor does it die; it is eternal and changeless.”

“The Knower is awareness; it is not the content of awareness.”

The body is the home of the soul, and both are interlinked. The body is the field, but the Self is the knower of the field. We need to understand this distinction to live wisely.

Just because the body is temporary doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be cared for—it is sacred. The soul lives within it, but the soul is not bound by it.

The body will wither, emotions will rise and fall, but the Self remains untouched.

Think of it like a person driving a car. You maintain the car, fuel it, keep it in good shape, but you know you are not the car.

The car helps you move through the world, but it’s just a vehicle. Similarly, the body allows the soul to experience life, but it’s not the essence of who we are.

When we experience pain, whether physical or emotional, we can pause and remember:

“This is not me; I am the one observing this.”

The knower, the soul, witnesses all but remains untouched. Detachment doesn’t mean disconnection; it means seeing clearly, not being lost in the temporary. As the Upanishads teach,

“You are the infinite, clothed in the finite.”

Modern tools like CBT echo this ancient wisdom. When anxiety or sadness arise, they suggest recognizing these emotions as passing clouds in the sky of awareness. You are the sky, not the clouds. Don’t fight the feelings—acknowledge them, but know they will pass.

Living this way doesn’t mean neglecting the material world. The spiritual and material are two sides of the same coin. The soul is in the body, so we care for both.

This balance is the art of living—engaging fully in life while staying rooted in the awareness that we are more than the sum of our physical and mental parts.

To deepen this understanding, we must also recognize the flow of emotions as natural, like waves on the surface of the ocean. These emotional currents rise and fall, but beneath them, the deeper Self remains steady, like the ocean’s still depths.

By staying anchored in this awareness, we can allow emotions to move without being swept away. This is the foundation of spiritual practice—establishing an inner anchor that keeps us rooted in the unchanging truth, even as life’s emotional tides come and go.

It is this inner grounding that prepares us for the sacred dialogue with the universe.

Observe the emotional vibrations as they rise and fall—that is their function. Yet, the cosmic laws remain constant, always in operation, regardless of these fluctuations.

A practitioner must establish their own anchor, a personal law forged through practice. Over time, this becomes their microcosmic law, guiding them through life without being swayed by the emotional tides.

This anchor allows one to flow with life without guilt, letting energy move freely. By putting intentions out into the universe, and listening for its response, we enter the sacred dialogue—micro to macro, macro to micro. The universe listens, and so must we, attuning ourselves to its wisdom.

The distinction between body and Self isn’t about escape; it’s about perspective. You take care of the body because it’s the vehicle, but you remain centered in the truth that the soul is beyond.

“Understand that you are not your thoughts, emotions, or body. You are the witness to them. Do not confuse your identity with your field of experiences.”

Mastering the Modifications of the Field

Desires arise within the field. They are impermanent and bring suffering when pursued without discernment. As stated in the Bhagavad Gita (13:6):

“Desire, aversion, pleasure, and pain—these are the modifications of the field.”

From Stoicism:

“It is not events that disturb people, but their judgments about them.”

The same principle applies to desire. The unwise pursuit of pleasure leads to dissatisfaction. The wise see through its fleeting nature.

Desire-driven behavior leads to maladaptive patterns. Mindfulness-based practices help detach from the automatic responses to pleasure and pain. This is necessary to cultivate inner peace.

Desires, when pursued without wisdom, can never truly satisfy us. We fulfill one, and another arises. It’s an endless loop, and deep down, we know this.

No matter how many desires we satisfy, the void remains—the space within that no external thing can fill. The more we chase pleasure, the more we confront this emptiness. This is the nature of human existence.

Existentially, this void is not something to fear; it’s the doorway to understanding. The endless pursuit of desire distracts us from the deeper truth that we are more than our wants, more than our fleeting cravings. As Jean-Paul Sartre said,

“Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.”

Our freedom to desire without end creates a cycle of dissatisfaction until we confront the deeper truth—there’s no fulfillment in desire, only in the Self.

What fills that emptiness is not more—it’s less. It’s the realization that we are complete, not through things, but through being.

And within this understanding arises compassion—first for ourselves, for having misunderstood what it means to be whole, and then for others, seeing them entangled in the same illusion.

At the core, we are not separate individuals living isolated lives, but interconnected expressions of one source, one reality. This understanding echoes both ancient wisdom and modern science.

Quantum physics suggests that everything in the universe is deeply connected at a subatomic level, forming an inseparable web of energy and matter. The mystics have long said the same: there is no true separation between you and the rest of existence.

Leibniz’s concept of the monad is central to his philosophy of unity. He believed that monads are the fundamental, indivisible units of reality, like atoms of existence, but they are not physical—they are metaphysical, representing the essence of all things.

Each monad, while being unique, contains within it a complete reflection of the entire universe. As he put it,

“Each monad reflects the entire universe in its own way.”

This means that every monad, though distinct, is intimately connected to the whole, and nothing exists in isolation.

In simple terms, each individual—each monad—carries within it the totality of existence, even though we may perceive ourselves as separate beings. This reflects the unity of all things: each part contains the whole.

Even though we appear separate, we are interconnected at the deepest level. Our experiences, desires, and thoughts may be unique, but they are all part of a universal structure.

The boundaries we perceive between ourselves and others are illusions. The Self is not a mere drop in the ocean—it is the entire ocean, compressed into a single drop. You carry the totality of existence within you, and so does everyone else.

When we truly grasp this unity, compassion naturally flows, because to harm another is to harm oneself. To love another is to love oneself.

This realization transforms how we relate to the world, dissolving selfishness and replacing it with a profound understanding that we are all part of a singular, interconnected whole.

The void we feel isn’t a lack; it’s a misperception—a misunderstanding of the completeness that already exists within us.

Deeper love and compassion arise, not out of fear of hell or desire for heaven, but because of an innate understanding of our interconnectedness. This compassion isn’t transactional; it doesn’t depend on rewards or punishments.

It comes from the realization that, at the deepest level, there is no separation between us and others. When we act with kindness, it is not because we expect something in return, but because we recognize that in helping another, we are ultimately helping ourselves.

This love is grounded in the truth that all existence is one. As we begin to see ourselves in others and others in ourselves, compassion naturally blossoms. The motivation for doing good shifts from personal gain to the joy of expressing our shared humanity.

We no longer avoid harm out of fear, but because we understand that harm done to another is harm done to the whole, and we are part of that whole. This is the root of self-realization: to see the unity of all life and to act in harmony with that truth.

This realization dissolves the illusion of separation. There’s no “me” chasing fulfillment outside, no “others” who are different from us. It’s all one. The emptiness we feel isn’t a lack; it’s the space where unity is revealed.

When we see that, we stop searching for satisfaction through desires and begin to live in a deeper, more connected way.

This is where true peace is found—not in the fulfillment of desire, but in the dissolution of the belief that we are separate from everything else.

Observe your desires without acting on them. Understand their temporary nature. Practice detachment by focusing on long-term well-being rather than short-term gratification.

Dissolving Ego and False Identity

The ego is an illusion within the field, a false construct that creates a sense of separation between you and others. It thrives on attachment to your personal identity, leading to suffering.

The Bhagavad Gita (13:7) teaches the importance of freeing yourself from egoism by recognizing the inherent flaws of life—birth, death, aging, disease, and pain.

Understanding these realities helps to weaken the ego’s grip and reduces the suffering it causes.

The Upanishads teach that ego is the illusion (maya) that keeps the self bound to the cycle of rebirth. The Isha Upanishad states:

“He who sees all beings in his own self, and his own self in all beings, loses all fear and attachment.”

By practicing the ability to see yourself in others and others in yourself, you begin to dissolve the boundaries the ego creates. This shift in perspective reduces attachment because you no longer view yourself as separate and distinct from others.

In modern psychological terms, the ego refers to the part of the mind that creates a sense of individual identity—who we think we are. It helps us navigate the world by forming a self-concept based on our thoughts, memories, and experiences.

However, this constructed identity is limited and often rigid, creating a false sense of separateness.

Freud referred to the ego as the “reality principle,” guiding us in daily interactions, but even he acknowledged the tension between the ego and deeper aspects of the psyche—the unconscious, where the true self resides.

This false identity, or ego, thrives on attachment to roles, labels, and external validation. It gives rise to the illusion that our worth is tied to what we achieve, how we are perceived, and what we possess.

The philosopher Alan Watts echoed this in his work, saying,

“The ego is nothing other than the focus of conscious attention.”

This focus can blind us to the larger reality that we are part of something greater, creating an illusion of separation.

Esoteric wisdom calls this illusion maya, as mentioned in the Upanishads, which traps us in the cycle of suffering by making us identify solely with our personal experiences, desires, and fears.

Carl Jung also spoke about the need to transcend the ego to reach what he called individuation—the process of becoming whole by integrating the conscious and unconscious parts of ourselves.

When we identify less with the ego and more with the deeper Self—what Jung called the collective unconscious—we begin to see beyond the narrow confines of individuality. We become more aware of our interconnectedness with others and the universe as a whole.

From both a psychological and philosophical perspective, the dissolution of the ego doesn’t mean destroying it. The ego is a necessary tool for functioning in the world, but it must be put in its proper place.

In Freudian psychology, the ego mediates between the Self and reality, but it is a limited and conditioned construct. Identifying too strongly with the ego leads to neurosis and anxiety. Liberation from the ego is necessary for mental clarity and fulfillment.

In the words of Eckhart Tolle,

“The ego loves to strengthen itself by complaining. The ego loves to be right. But in dissolving the ego, we come to a place where we don’t need to be right, or special—we just need to be.”

Stop identifying with the ego. Understand that it is a false construct. Practice seeing yourself in others and others in yourself. This reduces attachment, fear, and desire for control.

Cultivating Non-Attachment and Equanimity

Non-attachment is the foundation of self-mastery. The Bhagavad Gita (13:9) emphasizes detachment from sons, wife, and home, and remaining even-minded in both pleasing and unpleasing events.

I understand this may seem like a controversial topic, but with time and experience, one realizes the truth of this. No one is the owner of anything or anyone. You and others don’t own each other. One can be a guardian, helper, or lover, but never the owner.

Non-attachment doesn’t mean abandoning your duties. As the Bhagavad Gita teaches,

“You are qualified simply with regard to action, never with regard to its results. You must be neither motivated by the results of action nor attached to inaction.” (2:47).

You must fulfill your responsibilities, but without becoming attached to the outcomes or letting your ego dictate control over others.

Just reflect on how often your own ego plays you, pushing you to control someone else’s outcome, driven by the desire for validation, power, or ownership. This creates endless suffering, for yourself and others.

It’s better, in fact, to not get married and have children. This, too, may seem controversial, but time will teach you the value of this realization.

The institution of marriage, in its traditional sense, stopped working long ago and often leads to more suffering due to attachment and expectations. If you are not married, don’t rush into it. Non-attachment is far easier to cultivate when you’re free from those societal pressures.

However, if you are already married and have children, that is your place. You are exactly where you are meant to be. Your dharma now is to perform your duties as a spouse or parent, but with non-attachment.

Love them deeply, but without clinging to the idea that you control their paths or that they belong to you. You are a guardian, not an owner. In this way, you can minimize suffering and perform your duties with clarity and peace.

This is not to say that you should avoid relationships altogether. Instead, learn about life, the human psyche, and your own inner workings before entering into relationships.

Relationships built on societal constructs like marriage, often tied to control, ownership, and outdated expectations, are no longer compatible with the new age of consciousness.

The relationships we need now are based on mutual understanding, where two individuals come together as mature adults, free to explore boundaries with respect and consent.

Non-attachment does not mean withdrawing from the world. It means participating fully, but without the baggage of ego-driven desires, fear, or unconscious patterns.

Engage with life, with people, and with relationships, but do so without the shadows of ownership, insecurity, or control. Understand that life is transient, that nothing is permanent, and that this very transience is what gives life its depth and beauty.

Approach everything with maturity and conscious awareness. Don’t let your unresolved shadows play you. Instead, shine the light of consciousness on your actions and relationships.

Realize that no one owns anyone—each person is sovereign unto themselves within the greater unity of existence. In that understanding, there is space for real love, trust, and growth.

Mature relationships are those that promote personal and spiritual growth without judgment or control. They are relationships built on understanding, mutual support, and respect.

They are free from guilt, fear, lack, and the chains of societal dogma or state-owned powers. These are the relationships worth nurturing—the ones where two souls walk together in love, not out of obligation, but out of a deep and conscious choice to grow alongside one another.

The Bhagavad Gita aligns with the teaching of the Stoic philosopher Epictetus:

“Some things are up to us, others are not.”

Focusing on what we can control, and that is your inner strength, your anchor with the Self, the non-attachment, cultivates equanimity.

“You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can’t control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.”

― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

The wisdom in Marcus Aurelius’ quote offers a powerful tool for empaths, encouraging them to release unnecessary judgments and emotional attachments to things beyond their control. By practicing this detachment, empaths can protect their sensitive souls from being overwhelmed.

However, the irony lies in the fact that while empaths quote this advice as a guide for emotional boundaries, it is often narcissists and manipulative individuals who live by it effortlessly.

A word of advice: when you begin practicing detachment, you may often fall from detachment into guilt, and it can feel overwhelming. Don’t worry about it. With time, practice, wisdom, and discernment, you will learn and grow.

Start small—treat it like a game, perhaps trying detachment for just one hour as a playful exercise, and then gradually increase the duration. Remember, falling and rising again is part of the process—that’s how it goes.

Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) share a common emphasis on being present and accepting reality without becoming overly attached or reactive to it.

  • Mindfulness involves being fully aware of the present moment, observing thoughts, emotions, and sensations without judgment. Instead of trying to avoid or control uncomfortable feelings, mindfulness encourages us to simply notice and accept them, which prevents overreaction or becoming overwhelmed by them.
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) takes this a step further by not only encouraging acceptance of the present moment but also fostering psychological flexibility. This means the ability to adapt to changing circumstances, even when faced with distress or discomfort. ACT encourages people to commit to actions that align with their values, even in the face of challenging emotions.

Both approaches highlight the importance of not clinging to the moment or trying to change what is out of your control.

Instead, embracing the present without resistance promotes emotional resilience—the capacity to recover from difficulties and face challenges without being emotionally drained.

In essence, this acceptance creates a mental space where you can respond to life’s difficulties more effectively, without becoming rigid or overly attached to outcomes, thus fostering well-being.

Remain detached from both success and failure. Do not let external circumstances disturb your inner peace. Accept life as it comes, and act with wisdom rather than reactivity.

Seeking Knowledge of the Self

True knowledge is understanding the nature of the Self and the field. The Gita (13:11) states:

“Constancy in knowledge of what relates to the Self, perceiving the purpose of knowledge of reality—this is knowledge.”

The Self represents the eternal soul, the pure consciousness within us, while the field refers to the physical body and the material world, including our mind and senses.

The Gita teaches that it is essential to know the difference between these two: the unchanging Self and the ever-changing material existence.

In verse 13:11, Lord Krishna emphasizes the importance of constancy in this knowledge—meaning, keeping a steady awareness of the true nature of the Self without getting confused by the distractions of the material world.

This steady knowledge helps us stay grounded in our spiritual understanding and not be overly attached to the temporary nature of life.

The verse also talks about understanding the purpose of seeking this knowledge. True knowledge isn’t just about collecting facts or ideas; it’s about knowing why we are seeking this understanding in the first place.

It could be to achieve inner peace, spiritual growth, or liberation. When we understand the purpose of knowledge, we can apply it meaningfully in our lives.

The Upanishads emphasize that liberation comes from the knowledge of the Self (Atman) and its unity with Brahman. The Chandogya Upanishad proclaims:

“Tat tvam asi” (“Thou art That”)—the individual self is the universal Self.

Psychological research shows that self-awareness and introspection are key to mental health. The practice of reflection and meditation allows one to separate from automatic thoughts and reactions, fostering deeper understanding.

The journey to answering the question Who am I? is the key that unlocks the door to dissolving false identity and awakening the true Self. This ancient quest has echoed through the ages, inscribed on the temple of Delphi:

“Know thyself, and thou shalt know the universe and the gods.”

To know oneself is to recognize that the boundaries between you and the universe are an illusion; the deeper you go within, the more you realize that you are not separate from the cosmos but a reflection of it.

This question, Who am I?, peels away the layers of false identity—the ego, the roles you play, the labels you’ve adopted over the years. The mind has been programmed to identify with these external things: career, relationships, societal expectations.

But the essence of who you truly are goes far beyond these transient identities. The pursuit of self-knowledge is not about adding more to your life—more achievements, more possessions—but about subtracting what is false, what doesn’t resonate with your true nature.

Modern wisdom aligns with this. We live in a world that tells us to chase everything—success, validation, and material gain. But the seeker understands that the only thing worth pursuing is what aligns with your deeper self, your true path.

This requires a certain kind of discernment: not every opportunity is meant for you, not every desire is yours to follow. Align with what feels true, what speaks to your soul, and let go of the rest. In this way, you walk your unique path, one that no one else can walk for you.

Deprogramming the limitations imposed by the mind begins with recognizing that much of our thinking is conditioned. From childhood, we inherit beliefs, fears, and desires from society, family, and culture that may not reflect our true self.

To dissolve these, meditation and self-inquiry are key. In silence, the mind begins to quiet, and you can observe the thoughts, seeing them for what they are—just thoughts, not you.

As you ask, Who am I?, these layers of mental conditioning start to dissolve, and you begin to tap into the deeper intelligence of intuition.

Intuition, that inner knowing, is the divine instrument that guides you on your path. It is the voice of the soul speaking through the noise of the mind. To build it, you must learn to trust it and listen to its whispers, which often come when the mind is quiet.

When you stop overthinking, you begin to hear the subtle guidance of the universe moving through you.

The mind, when deprogrammed from its limitations, becomes a powerful tool for higher understanding. It can then perceive reality as it is, not as it has been conditioned to see.

To ascend the mind is to rise above the conditioning of fear, scarcity, and control and instead operate from a place of clarity and truth. In this state, the divine instrument—the mind, body, and soul—works in harmony, attuned to the flow of the universe.

As you journey into this deeper knowing, you realize that the divine has been within you all along. You are not separate from the universe, but a manifestation of it.

The more you know yourself, the more you align with the vast intelligence that underlies all of existence. Tat tvam asi—“Thou art That.”

You are the universe discovering itself, and through self-knowledge, the illusions of separation fall away.

Pursue self-knowledge relentlessly. Engage in meditation, self-reflection, and study of sacred texts. Seek to understand your true nature beyond the body and mind.

Surrender and Devotion

Surrendering to a higher power dissolves ego and liberates the Self. The Gita (13:10) encourages unswerving devotion to the divine through exclusive yogic discipline.

The concept of surrender is echoed in the Upanishads and mystical traditions. In the Bhagavad Gita (18:66), Krishna says:

“Abandon all varieties of dharma and just surrender unto Me. I will deliver you from all sins; do not fear.”

It is important, however, to create your own sense of devotion to the divine, one that resonates with your heart. Stay away from any form of dogma or rigid structures that limit your spiritual expression.

Instead, focus on the essence of devotion—connecting with the divine beyond rituals of guilt or obligation. True surrender comes from the purity of intention, not from external rules, allowing you to cultivate a relationship with the divine that is freeing and uplifting.

Surrender to the flow of life. We cannot control everything, and acceptance of the unknown is key. Just like the North Star guides travelers, our North Node—our soul’s purpose—guides us, if we trust in it.

The truth is that, despite all challenges, love ultimately prevails. Even in destruction, life finds a way to bloom again.

The deeper journey of healing begins with consciousness—knowing and embracing your own shadows, the wounded child within.

This is personal work, often done alone, but necessary. Only after healing yourself can you truly blossom and share love outwardly with the world.

Never disown yourself. Break through mental barriers that keep you stuck. The path forward requires self-acceptance, self-compassion, and an understanding that the journey, though solitary at times, leads to a greater connection with others and the universe.

When we heal and become whole, we contribute to the larger unity of existence, spreading love and light naturally.

In psychological terms, surrendering control refers to releasing the need to manage or dictate every aspect of life, especially things outside of one’s influence. This is important because the desire for control often stems from anxiety—the fear of uncertainty or the unknown.

When we constantly try to control outcomes, people, or situations, it creates mental tension and stress, as many factors in life are inherently unpredictable.

Mindfulness-based therapies, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), emphasize letting go of this need for control.

These approaches teach that resisting or trying to control every thought, emotion, or event in life only increases suffering.

Instead, mindfulness encourages individuals to observe thoughts and feelings without judgment and accept situations as they are, without the need to fix or change them.

From a psychological perspective, this practice of surrendering control reduces anxiety by shifting focus from trying to control external outcomes to managing internal responses.

When individuals realize that many things are beyond their control—such as how others behave or how situations unfold—they can redirect their energy toward what they can influence: their own reactions, attitudes, and emotional responses.

For example, in a stressful situation, the anxious mind wants to plan for every possible outcome or micromanage the situation to avoid discomfort. However, this often leads to frustration because complete control is impossible.

By practicing mindfulness and learning to surrender control, individuals can reduce anxiety by accepting uncertainty. This approach fosters psychological well-being by promoting resilience, emotional flexibility, and a sense of inner calm.

As a result, individuals experience less mental strain and more peace as they learn to navigate life’s unpredictability with a balanced, adaptive mindset.

Surrender your ego and sense of personal control to the higher Self. Practice devotion, not just through rituals, but through the total renunciation of personal desire and attachment.

Seeing the Unity in All Beings

The wise person sees the Lord equally present in all beings. The Gita (13:27) states:

“He who sees the Supreme Lord as situated equally in all creatures, not perishing when they perish, he sees.”

The Upanishads declare:

“Sarvam khalvidam brahma”—all this is Brahman.

This teaching asserts the oneness of all existence. Division is an illusion born from ignorance. “Verily all this is the Brahman”. It is considered to be the sum of all Veda and Vedanta.

In simple terms, Brahman is the ultimate reality, the source of everything that exists. It is the unchanging, eternal essence that underlies the entire universe.

According to the ancient teachings of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita, Brahman is not separate from the world; it is the world, and beyond it. Everything we see, hear, feel, and experience is an expression of Brahman.

Brahman is often described as formless, infinite, and beyond our limited understanding. It is present in every being and every part of the universe.

When the Gita says that the wise person sees the Supreme Lord equally in all beings, it means that someone who understands Brahman sees no division between people, creatures, or things—everything is connected and part of the same divine essence.

In essence, Brahman is the unity behind all diversity, the one reality that manifests in countless forms. Understanding this dissolves the illusion of separation, leading to the realization that we are all part of this greater whole.

“All is Brahman” simply means that all existence is one and interconnected, no matter how it appears on the surface.

The Dance of Hide and Seek

I found you after a painful journey,
A path woven with sorrow and strife,
I embraced you after the dark night,
Where shadows danced with the edge of life.

I cried with you after the long separateness,
As if the stars had shattered in their fall,
Yet, in our reunion, a fleeting breath—
You hide again, as is your call.

The play of hide and seek began anew,
But this time, I did not forget,
For I’ve seen the truth within your veil,
And yet, the play is not over yet.

Your dance is my command to follow,
Your rhythm is the pulse of my soul,
The game must go on, the drama must unfold,
As your play is my life, my ultimate goal.

Until next time, until beyond time,
Where there’s no longer an “until” at all,
We will meet again, once and for all,
In the silence where the veils forever fall.

In that moment, we shall be as one,
No more hiding, no more night,
Just the endless dance of the Divine,
In the boundless space of eternal void.

Empathy and compassion are central to psychological health because they allow us to connect deeply with others and recognize the shared human experience of suffering.

When we truly understand that all people experience pain, challenges, and emotional struggles in various forms, it opens the door to genuine connection.

This shared awareness reduces feelings of isolation and helps dissolve self-centeredness, which often comes from believing our suffering is unique or greater than others’.

By recognizing that suffering is universal, we are more inclined to help each other rather than add to the burden of suffering through judgment, indifference, or harmful actions.

When we extend compassion, we break the cycle of hurt and negativity, creating space for healing and support.

Instead of perpetuating suffering, we can actively work to alleviate it—both in ourselves and in others—by fostering understanding, kindness, and solidarity.

This simple act of helping each other creates a ripple effect, contributing to the collective well-being of humanity.

See the divine in all beings. Treat everyone as an extension of yourself. Understand that all distinctions—race, gender, status—are superficial. Only the one Self exists in all.


The Hermetic Path

In the Hermetic philosophy, the universe is seen as a living mind, where all beings are interconnected, and everything happens for the purpose of spiritual evolution.

This world is not simply a place to live out mundane experiences; it is a sacred school for the soul, designed to help us elevate to our higher selves.

The journey of life is one of learning, unlearning, and transmutation, as we are continually presented with opportunities to grow, transcend, and evolve.

At the core of Hermetic teachings is the principle of mental transmutation—the ability to transform lower states of consciousness into higher ones.

Let’s look at the common Hermetic laws, often referred to as the Seven Hermetic Principles, described in simple terms:

The Principle of Mentalism:

  • Everything in the universe is a product of the mind. The universe itself is like a vast, living mind, and all things exist as thoughts within it. This means that what we experience in life begins with our thoughts, and by changing how we think, we can change our reality.

The Principle of Correspondence:

  • As above, so below; as below, so above. This principle explains that there is harmony and connection between different levels of reality. The patterns we see in the physical world reflect higher, spiritual truths, and vice versa. For example, the way the cosmos operates mirrors the way our inner world functions.

The Principle of Vibration:

  • Everything is in constant motion, nothing is truly still. Everything vibrates at different levels—whether it’s a rock, a thought, or a feeling. Higher vibrations are associated with positive, uplifting energy, while lower vibrations are tied to negativity. By raising our vibration through thought, emotion, or action, we can improve our experiences.

The Principle of Polarity:

  • Everything has two sides, or poles—like hot and cold, light and dark. These opposites are actually the same thing at different degrees. Understanding this helps us see that opposites are connected, and by shifting perspective, we can change how we feel about a situation.

The Principle of Rhythm:

  • Life moves in cycles, like the ebb and flow of the tides. There are times of growth and times of rest, highs and lows. This principle reminds us that everything has a rhythm, and we can learn to flow with life’s natural cycles rather than resisting them.

The Principle of Cause and Effect:

  • Nothing happens by chance. Every action has a reaction, and everything that happens has a cause. By understanding this, we can take responsibility for our actions and recognize that we create our reality through our thoughts, decisions, and actions.

The Principle of Gender:

  • Everything has both masculine and feminine energy. This doesn’t necessarily refer to biological gender but rather to the balance of active (masculine) and receptive (feminine) forces within us and in the world. Both energies are necessary for creation and harmony.

These principles are meant to guide us in understanding how the universe operates, and how we can align ourselves with these natural laws to achieve spiritual growth and harmony in life.

Just as alchemists turn base metals into gold, we are called to transmute our inner shadows into light, integrating them into our consciousness for healing and growth.

These shadows, often the source of our suffering, are not meant to be rejected or hidden but embraced as stepping stones to higher awareness.

The 21 shadows listed are common aspects of human experience, deeply rooted in the ego, which can distort our perception and disconnect us from our true divine nature.

These shadows—such as pride, fear, anger, shame, and jealousy—are invitations to reflect on the parts of ourselves that need healing.

By working on them, both within ourselves and recognizing them in others, we begin the process of inner alchemy.

Here are 21 shadows you can choose to work on, and the higher virtues they can be transmuted into, each holding the potential for healing and growth:

1:

6:

Guilt – Holding on to past actions, preventing healing and forgiveness.

7:

The process of transmutation is simple but requires deep commitment. First, we must acknowledge the shadow without judgment

In Hermetic thought, the law of correspondence reminds us that everything outside is a reflection of what is inside. As the Kybalion states,

“As above, so below; as within, so without.”

When we are triggered by anger, jealousy, or judgment in others, it’s not simply an external issue. These emotions are signposts, reflecting shadows within us that need attention.

If we find ourselves disturbed by another’s behavior, it is an opportunity to look within and see where those same traits may reside in our own psyche. The external world becomes a mirror for our internal state.

The work begins by recognizing these shadows. Through self-awareness and acceptance, we can begin to transmute them.

When we realize that these negative traits often stem from fear, insecurity, or the sense of separation from divine love, we can bring compassion and understanding to these parts of ourselves. This is how we begin to dissolve the ego’s hold.

The Hermetic principle of mentalism teaches us that,

“The ALL is mind, the Universe is Mental.”

Our thoughts shape our reality. Therefore, through the power of intention, meditation, and reflection, we can transform our shadows.

Understanding that these traits are not our true selves but are expressions of unresolved wounds allows us to step into our higher nature—the Higher Self, which is the part of us that is connected to divine wisdom and love.

Another Hermetic principle, the law of polarity, teaches that extremes can be balanced. Nothing is fixed, and opposites can be reconciled. Pride can be transmuted into humility, anger into forgiveness, and apathy into passion.

Every shadow contains within it the potential for its opposite virtue. By working with the energies of our shadows, we can transform what appears negative into a higher, more refined state of being.

This work is not just for personal evolution. When we transmute our shadows, we contribute to the collective awakening. The law of vibration teaches us that everything is energy. As we elevate our own vibration by healing the shadows within, we uplift those around us as well.

We begin to see the world and others through the lens of empathy and understanding, rather than judgment or fear. This creates ripples of healing that affect our relationships and communities, making us living examples of what it means to transcend the ego.

Remember, this world is a classroom—a place where the soul evolves by learning lessons of love, wisdom, and unity. By acknowledging and working on these 21 shadows, you not only elevate yourself but also help others along their path.

When you rise beyond the ego, you embody the divine light within, and in doing so, you fulfill your soul’s purpose of evolving and returning to oneness with All.

Once you overcome your shadows—not by eliminating them, but by bringing the conscious light of awareness to them, accepting them without judgment, and understanding universal laws such as the law of karma—you begin to embody true freedom.

When you understand your shadows, they no longer control you. With this realization comes the ability to live in alignment with your higher will. As Aleister Crowley wrote,

“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the law, love under will.”

This means living your life in harmony with your true purpose, guided by love, but always under the direction of your soul’s higher will.

We all have limitations and shadows; this is part of being human. Take it easy on yourself and understand that all paths lead to the same destination. The journey is the true gift, not the destination. Enjoy the process of growth, of learning, and of evolving into your true self.

“All religions are true, but all are imperfect in their own way. All paths lead to God.”

The journey is not easy. In fact, it is the most difficult task one can undertake in this lifetime. But it is also the only truly worthwhile endeavor.

To stay on the path of growth and self-mastery, to continue following your bliss and not stray from your purpose, is the greatest achievement.

There will be moments of exhaustion, times when you feel lost or overwhelmed. But know that there are places to rest, points along the journey where you can rejuvenate your spirit before continuing on.

Keep moving forward. No matter which path you choose, as long as you are aware of your shadows and walking consciously, you are on the right path. The journey itself is the most noble pursuit, leading to true fulfillment and inner peace.

You will get everything, anything you desire, but you must be ready on that level of consciousness. Don’t worry—you are exactly where you are supposed to be.

Life gives you every moment as an opportunity to learn and grow. Keep going, and trust the process.

Understand this: the journey is hard, the hardest thing one will ever face in this lifetime. But it is also true that to walk this path is the most noble task one can undertake.

The greatest mistake is to carry guilt for how far you’ve come. Do not carry guilt or fear, for the show is unfolding exactly as it should, and you are exactly where you are meant to be.

Ask yourself: What more do you seek to experience? Or is it enough? Not the kind of “enough” that arises from the shadows of pride, fear, or lack, but the kind of “enough” that comes when the soul whispers, I have experienced all there is, I have learned all I need.

That moment comes when nothing in this world can fill you any longer, when you realize that no manifested form can contain the vastness of your being, and no earthly boundary can confine your freedom.

That is when it is time to go home—when the soul realizes it is no longer confined by, nor can it be satisfied with, the limitations of physical forms, and yearns to return to its infinite, boundless source.

Walk this path without guilt or fear. The journey is difficult, but sacred. Trust the unfolding of the path. Sit, breathe, and burn in your shadows, allowing transformation to turn your inner lead into gold. Never abandon yourself, through this alchemy true freedom can be found.

If there’s only one point you take from this guide, let it be this: Relax, breathe, observe, and don’t get entangled. Everything will be revealed to you in time.

Good luck, and enjoy the show.


Transmuting Shadows

In this chapter, we will embark on the journey of transmuting our deepest shadows into higher virtues. Shadows represent the aspects of ourselves that are often hidden, feared, or rejected.

They are parts of us that have been shaped by past experiences, traumas, and conditioned beliefs. However, every shadow holds within it the seed of transformation.

By recognizing and embracing these shadows, we open the door to profound healing and personal growth.

Using the powerful tool of “I Am” affirmations, we can consciously shift our energy from the lower vibrational states associated with our shadows to higher states of awareness and virtue.

These affirmations work by reprogramming the subconscious mind, dissolving limiting beliefs, and aligning us with our true, higher nature.

On a spiritual level, affirmations reconnect us with the divine truth of who we are. By declaring “I Am,” we are invoking our inner divinity, aligning with the universal truth that we are not separate from the Source, but part of it.

Affirmations help us remember our inherent worth, power, and unity with all existence.

Psychologically, “I Am” affirmations are a form of cognitive restructuring. They help us replace negative self-talk with positive, empowering beliefs.

When repeated consistently, these affirmations can reduce anxiety, increase self-esteem, and promote emotional resilience.

By focusing on the virtues we wish to cultivate, we become more conscious of our thoughts and actions, creating space for meaningful change in our lives.

As you practice these affirmations, you will notice shifts in your mindset, emotions, and overall sense of self.

This process is about embracing your wholeness and evolving into a more compassionate, empowered, and aligned version of yourself.

Life is a constant reaching, yet there’s nowhere to reach. It’s not a tool to achieve something external—life itself is the achievement.

You don’t gain anything because life is what you get. The truth is, you’ll never find anything other than what you already are and what you already have.

Everything you’re searching for is already within you. The energy, the movement inside and outside, is the only thing worth understanding.

This movement, this flow, is here to create—you are here to create. You are the artist of your life, shaping it with each thought, word, and action.

The ego, like an egg, holds two possibilities. If the shell is broken from the outside, life ends. But if the shell is broken from within, a new life is born.

The power is inside you, waiting to rise. Just like the Phoenix, you can rise from your ashes—stronger, wiser, and renewed. Every moment, every breath, is an opportunity to break free from old limitations and create anew.

So, embrace the movement, embrace the energy that flows through you. Don’t wait for life to happen—you are life happening. The only goal is to move, to create, to live fully.

Let go of the need to reach a final destination and realize that this very moment is where you are meant to be.

Rise within, break free, and create with the power that has always been yours.

Create without fear and guilt, for you are not the doer. Let the energy move through you, without taking the weight of your actions. Flow with life, knowing that your role is to create, not to control. The journey is the art, the movement is the purpose—rise from within and let your life be the masterpiece.
