Brilliant Animation Exposes The ‘Shadow’ That Controls Our Society

 The brilliant short film urges us to reflect on the egoic masks we wear, how we stifle our minds and creativity through conventional education, the nature of media and governments, the way we produce food, how the masses can fall mindlessly into pop culture, and much more.

It’s hard to walk away from it not feeling like, when we are unconscious, we function in programs that are not of our choosing. Programming we can become lost in and think are ‘us’ and our own thoughts when in reality they are learned behaviors we confine ourselves to.

To question this programming is to expand our consciousness.

Many resonate with the idea that our society is in major upheaval. As I have pointed out for many years, this is for good reason driven by the evolutionary pressure of corruption being exposed.

We are in a powerful moment where we have the chance to reshape a society that is holding us down and keeping us from thriving. But in order to get there, we have to think and feel more deeply.

Simply changing out a politician or two isn’t going to get us there in my view. To truly thrive, we must look deeper. We must look to our mental, emotional, and spiritual selves as well.

This also leads us to something deeper: simply blaming those in positions of power as ‘the bad guys’ isn’t going to get us anywhere. It doesn’t seek to grasp the totality of what is at play, and it will only keep us at war with one another. After all, without a change in ourselves, what’s to say new people in the same positions of power won’t do the same thing?

I believe forgiveness of the ‘shadow’ must be embraced as we integrate that experience into our story as a whole.

To me, the nature of our consciousness, spirituality, and hearts are at the center of expanding our ability to re-imagine society and free ourselves. We don’t get true freedom through laws, rules, and new politicians. Sure those play a part, but true freedom is gained through inner mastery. When embraced, inner mastery is at the heart of exceptional creativity and possibility....<<<Read More>>>...
