Ken Wilber states in The Religion of Tomorrow that it is our shadows in both states and structures of consciousness, as well as what is driving them, that keeps us stuck unable to continue evolving and awakening. Doshin points to a “Whole Spectrum of Shadows”: First, the sub-personalities repressed into the unconscious, which are split off at different levels of ego development. Second, the experiences of states which are deeply interlaced with the First-Tier structures of consciousness. And finally, the driving forces: The Karma, family Karma, insecure attachment issues, and preverbal, developmental and shock traumas that underly and drive our individual shadows. Here, “The trembling terror must be felt and freed”. Where are we stuck? Where are both our development and awakening frozen? What must be healed and what must die in order to continue healthy transcending and including? What are we addicted to and allergic to individually? What we are addicted to is what we hold most sacred; and what we are allergic to is what we despise in others that we see as profane. Both addictions and allergies, keep us trapped and frozen unable to transcend and include. Here it is essential to differentiate between individual and collective shadows as we examine all this. Join Doshin Roshi and Chris Alder in this interactive and humbling exploration of stuck-ness, death, rebirth, and liberation in all four quadrants.
