Death of the Shadow (EGO MIND) happens in stages and follows the same stages of death as outlined by Elizabeth Kubler Ross in her book, “On Death and Dying.”Each stage of death represents the dissolution of an elaborate "ego" defense mechanism that you believe has kept you safe. But, in fact, has kept you imprisoned and living a life of lack and limitation. These defenses must unravel for you to win your Self back and become free of the shadow. Working through each stage is a cyclical process, not a linear one. Death of the shadow is like peeling an onion. Though experiencing the death of your shadow can happen all at once it usually occurs 'naturally' in stages. First...
