Thank God for you 🙏🏾

[@IndigoHazelnut]

Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share your own shadow that you had to work through.. I realise I have a similar belief when it comes to the Kardashians..!

[@TheDiamondNet]

You’re welcome! I try to share because I know others can probably relate.

[@wendyvann6121]

OMG thank you for this! And for alllll the different aspects of the shadow stuff and the playlist! I've been bouncing around KZbin getting nowhere and then yay! You've got exactly what I've been looking for, down to the playlist! The way you explain things and keep it to the topic at hand and offer solutions just really helps! The word shadow has been coming up, obviously beyond coincidence for me, so I finally dove in but it's either been surface surface surface or deeeeep dives into Carl Jung. 😂 So thank you so much for the perfect balance! I'm excited to look into all your channel has to offer! You're very good! Keep it up! 💓😃🌟

Thank you so much Emerald!!! I’ve been looking for a video like this for ages!!

[@TheDiamondNet]

You're welcome!

[@daryl7222]

Wow, amazing video. I've never heard anybody talk about this. I'll have to watch again and make notes!

This was great. The idea of an "inner Paris H." was really helpful.

[@TheDiamondNet]

Funny enough... that insight came up to me in my yearly plant medicine ceremony that I participated in this past spring. The source wanted to me to embrace my inner Paris Hilton... and it would be the rich father who gives me everything just as a gift... just because I exist. And it wanted me to recognize that everything good in my life has always come purely as a gift from the source... as much as I've tended to identify with being a hard worker and "earning" my way in life. But even my will and my work ethic exist only as a gifts that was given to me by the source.

[@J.A.706]

@@TheDiamondNet I LOVE that source brought that to you. It inspires me to continue to pursue this idea. I know I've felt "Paris issues" from both sides: 1., me being envious, jealous or just plain disgusted by the Paris folk of the world. and 2. Having an older brother whom I thought was God kind of accuse me of being a Paris. He despised me for being "coddled and spoiled." I was the youngest of all the siblings and cousins so got the natural doting attention that a youngest one often gets and that he got when he was younger, but apparently still yearned for now that he was older. I'm also just now looking into plant medicine ceremonies. Perhaps it isn't appropriate for you to go into that more on this channel. But if you ever do, it would be of great interest to me.

[@TheDiamondNet]

I had the huge resistance to being spoiled. My parents used to joke with each other about how spoiled I was as a kid. They meant it in a light-hearted way, but I took it really seriously. And I truly feel like I manifested financial struggles into my life simply to get away from the “spoiled child identity.” My parents split up when I was 12. And I was really relieved at age 13 when I went from living in my brick and mortar childhood home to living with my dad in a cockroach infested single-wide trailer. When I was 20 years old was the first time I was ever truly in poverty though. And I immediately wanted to get out of it, of course. But the struggle dynamic stuck around for about 9 years after that… which I think it’s possible that my resistance to being spoiled lined me up for. I wanted to be poor and worthy Charlie Bucket… instead of spoiled and unworthy Veruca Salt. So, I ran away from the shame towards my inner Veruca by hiding away into constant financial struggles. So my inner beloved and ability to simply be, is repressed behind Shadowy images of Paris Hilton and Veruca Salt and other caricatures of spoiledness.

[@J.A.706]

@@TheDiamondNet yes, "the spoiled child identity." You got it from your parents and I from my brother, or at least mostly. I had no idea how much guilt came with that and how comforting it's felt over the years to always maintain far less than my brother and to see him become a wealthy person living in a luxury home while I suffered with far less always way beneath him. Lots of good insight here. Thanks.

game changing 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@MsKingwa]

This was so good its wild..... Particularly the aspect of shame and if we don't feel we are valid or deserve to be or worth being here on earth, it will reflect in our financial situation. I have experienced this first-hand. Many thanks

[@H0mework]

Thank you! I did not understand social cues and I associated poverty with belonging and decadence to be bad. Writing it down should help.

"When is the other shoe going to drop?" or "I always do the wrong thing." 😂 Thank you.

[@mewira]

I find very much value in your videos and i think you should have a bigger audience since you deserve it. I just would like to make a suggestion related to the way you talk in your videos: if you can make some exercises of speach to eliminate some of the repeating bits that are a little bit distracting and disrupt now and then the flow of the message, like: "let's say" and other ones like that. Just want to help. Hope I'm not offending you. I really hope you will reach more people since your message is very powerful.

[@alexandracallander1556]

Thank you , you are one very very super great teachers x

[@stevzook1]

Thanks so much for this Emerald! This really resonates with me. I’ve been thinking about the money shadow lately and couldn’t find really anything helpful as far as article and books, Especially from a more Jungian or depth psychology approach. Please let me know if you have any recommendations.

[@TheDiamondNet]

Unfortunately, I don't know of any books like that. These are my own insights and experiences.

[@darubaru]

Thank you.

I recently learned, a part on my mothers shadow, i was holding space for unconsciously. She always had trouble with love and money. Its been difficult. How do i handle plz.

[@joshuadiliberto1103]

To me, it's not money that's evil, it's what's behind the money (intent) that people aren't usually aware of in transactions. As a business owner, I know exactly what it takes to make lots of money and it's usually a mix of good and bad acts. In general, I would say anyone that has an abundance of money has done some pretty bad things. Like most things, money is a tool to be used. If you let it, it can own you, just like social media can. Some people horde it and collect it to ease their anxiety about perceived dangers. Money is like bars on a window that can keep a thief out and they can also attract evil doers and lock us in.

[@TheDiamondNet]

When you say "abundance of money" what do you mean? I agree with you if you mean that someone is a billionaire. That means that that person is definitionally taking the lion's share of the value of many workers that work under them. And a billion dollars is enough money to live very prosperously through 300+ lifetimes... which no one needs. But if we're defining "abundance of money" as being in the hundreds of thousands or single digit millions, I definitely know of non-exploitative ways to make that kind of money as a solo entrepreneur without even hiring anyone... and in some cases without even using physical resources. An individual can produce that kind of value off of their own labor without exploiting anyone. In fact, I consider it to be the best option to avoid exploiting others' labor... and avoid being exploited for labor. Still not ideal because the system is exploitative by its nature... but probably the best option. The main thing to think about when making money is to ask the question, "Am I producing more value for the people than I'm taking?" And if the answer is anything other than a resounding yes, then it's time to go back to the drawing board and find a different way to make money.

i have to get in touch with my inner Paris Hilton to integrate my money shadows.

Let's say we take a shot every time you say let's say lol

Don't do that unless you want to get alcohol poisoning. :D

[@karenaware6569]

You should do a co video with Lynette adkins. She really loves shadow work! She’s got a very large following and almost every one of her followers would absolutely love your channel :)

[@adrianrosero1165]

Hi, emerald! Thanks for this amazing content. I wanted to ask you if it's possible to have all the valuable tips you share through E-Mail, since i only have the half of them from the moment I subscribed to your newsletter. Best wishes and keep up the wonderful work 😊

[@TheDiamondNet]

Sure! I can enroll you into it from the beginning of the series.

[@TheDiamondNet]

Okay I found an email that is "adriro....@....com" and enrolled you in the sequence. It should start sending those out to you in two days... and every 4 days thereafter.

[@adrianrosero1165]
