Key, you might want consider checking out "The Work" of Byron Katie. It's not that big hyped as "the Shadow"-concept in this film trailer.
In my opinion "The Work" seems a more humble and truer approach. Maybe Debbie Ford and the others aren't that bad either, I don't know.

Key, you're on to something. Keep searching, keep following your instincts. I have the feeling you will soon be amazed by your findings.

Love to you :heart:

Key,

Debbie Ford's work, based on Carl Jung, was definitely a step on my journey. She has an incredible personal story too about her journey, her own shadow.

Jerry Hicks, in his intro to The Teachings of Abraham, wrote about his life-long seeking.....and that everything he learned was a part of his journey, even his time reading Albert Schweitzer's The Quest for the Historical Jesus. (direct from the ouija board). He wrote that every experience was a pre-paving for their experience with Abraham. Not certain but, I think Jerry's in his 60's.....so 20 years ago, puts him in his 40's ? Life is a process, a journey, we never know where roads will take us......but I do think that if something resonates, we should explore it. At least that has been my experience.

Debbie Ford used to have a HayHouse radio show....but I just checked and I no longer see her listed there. I agree with Timo about Bryron Katie's excellent work, The Work, but there is something so down to earth and practical and real and earth-bound about Debbie that really resonated for me, when I was searching for something real and practical and earth-bound. She mixes it up. She has political views, personal views and uses what is in the news.

Her work was a part of my journey, and I definitely think it pre-paved my current understanding of the nature of my own personal reality. My head is full of other ideas right now, so I shall see if I draw the movie to myself. What I need has a way of finding me....of that I am certain. :grin:

Trust the process.

Here's an article from Debbie Ford about the shadow.

http://www.soulfulliving.com/the_shadow_process.htm


While I don't think it resonates so much with abe, I do think it does resonate with Seth's, The Nature of Personal Reality as Seth speaks of finding and unlimiting limiting beliefs.

Releasing resistance, correcting flawed premises, unlimiting limiting beliefs were things I found helpful about shadow work.

And Carl Jung's work has always deeply resonated for me.

Thanks, even if all of this is interesting and touches one emotionally I still find more security in what the abe teachings thought me, to be aligned with yourself, where I’ve learned to connect with a part of myself that I’ve somehow always known to be there and that knows what’s best, so far nothing has been able to top that experience but i'm always in the quest to understand more

Key,

Want I meant about the difference between Debbie and Abe, is that Abe does not spend any time looking at the past, none, nada, zippo. Abe simply says, "Get in the vortex, get happy, feel good." And if one can do that, than it is not necessary to look into the past for limiting thoughts/beliefs.

Yet, if one finds it useful to look for those beliefs that keeps one stuck or hooked in victimhood and/or powerlessness and/or fear, than Debbie Ford's process can be a useful guide, or not....it's personal.

As you wrote, Abe resonates strongly with you and abe would say, I think, trust your Inner Being's guidance. You know you best.


All is well.

Key, you might want consider checking out "The Work" of Byron Katie.

My good friend (and Mastermind buddy) Julie, is interviewing Byron Katie on her blogtalk radio show this Wednesday. I believe that one caller will be guided by Byron Katie thru the Work during the show.
