I’ve been in the process of integrating ALL positive or negative aspects within self that I’m consciously aware of, and that I haven’t been aware of due to not having noticed, recognized, and acknowledged these unconscious/unknown/shadowย in the past;ย hence, these aspects have repeatedly showed up in others as different faces due to having been repressed and suppressed by self for so long since childhood, that it’s ready to explode like a volcano.
Why is that? Because these aspects want to be a major pain in the @$$?
Possibly, but I trust that it’s due to these aspects deeply yearning to finally be: noticed, recognized, acknowledged, understood, empathized with (via heart compassion), unconditionallyย forgiven, unconditionally accepted/embraced/loved, healed, and integrated into the whole, full-potential, Multidimensional self (earthly and otherworldly physical selves)/Self (Source: Soul/Spirit within).
After sharing a comment for a Teal video that was very spot on and helpful, I noticed a title of a very short video (1:50) that made me chuckle.
After watching it, I shared the comment below, which then reminded me of the bullet/story (further below) of Barbara Marciniak yelling at an audience member for asking a “stupid question” (a situation similar to Bentinho below); I now trust that I was able to integrate this so-called “negative” shadow aspect of self that I once judged in Barbara M.
Comment for video, “Bentinho Massaro – Bored of Answering Your ‘Retarded’ Questions“:
Lol ^_^ Bentinho, you crack me up with your completely out of the box statements made with an “I don’t give a rat’s @$$” facial expression!
Depending on one’s perspective—narrow, limited, 3D physical perspective OR expanded, unlimited, 4D+ Multidimensional perspective—you can come off as an extremely insensitive BIG EGO jack@$$ (or @$$hole), OR, someone (like some comedians, whose pure intention is to uplift others) who’s BOLD enough to say what most people only think (but would love to say if they had the courage).
Granted, refreshing honesty combined with tact and compassion is highly effective as well, especially when it comes to interconnected others being open to receiving such observations.
But I get that sometimes, the aggressive energy—that’s often frowned upon by general society as negative, bad, or evil (due to it being an aspect that’s part of the unknown/shadow self)—is also highly effective in incorporating into communication, especially when someone just isn’t getting it with other communication styles (e.g., gentle kindness, respectful assertiveness, hints, etc.).
Take care <3<3<3
UPDATE (shortly after posting comment):
Here’s a mind and heart opening (integrated Mind/Heart consciousness expanding) reminder for us all:
“Sure, thereโs a time and place for most things. And, a small percentage of the time, there might need to be brutality in that honesty.
But, thatโs a small โ an extremely small โ percentage of the time.
Usually we can be honest in such a way that it effectively communicates the point while still allowing the other person to feel good about themselves. To strengthen rather than diminish.
As my friend, People Skills Authority and Coach, Kate Nasser teaches, โCivility doesnโt weaken your message; it helps others to hear & embrace it.โ (an excerpt from the reading, “The Hidden Meaning of Brutal Honesty“)

The following is the related story (mentioned above) shared in post, “A Farewell List to Ultimate Freedom“:
Barbara Marciniak Event in Sedona (May 2018): Barbara revealed to me that I really enjoyed her full presence, vibes, and channeling/teachings via most of her books that I’ve read so far, but not so much in person.
This includes a few teachings stated at the event—that I fortunately only paid for one out of two days—that seemed to go against the book, Path of Empowerment that was suggested for everyone to read prior to the event (that I had already read a few years ago, and reviewed highlights and notes several times since then).
It seemed as though Barbara had forgotten her own channelings/the big picture—that the Family of Light and the Family of Dark are ultimately on the same team.
Throughout the majority of the day, there was much talk—from Barbara and the audience—about the negative impact of electronics, negative media, and negative energies and negative entities within our very corrupt world (especially Hollywood celebrities and politicians); and I get that.
However COMMA…ironically, I heard more back-to-back negativity and famous, corrupt, people gossip within that one day—10 am to 6 pm with 90 min for lunch— than I did since I got out of the Army in 2011.
I was flabbergasted that Barbara actually yelled at one of the audience members (a soft-spoken female) to sit down since she asked a “stupid question.” Granted, I used to believe that there’s no such thing as a stupid question, but after listening to some audience members from Bashar’s videos (channeled by Darryl Anka), Abraham video’s (channeled by Ester Hicks), and from Teal’s event, I can understand why a spiritual teacher and/or channeler would get annoyed and/or frustrated with certain people (with dumb@$$ or pain-in-the-@$$ questions and/or comments); but that female’s question wasn’t a stupid question (in my opinion; she was merely frustrated with all the negative talk).
This “negative” moment ended up as a blessing in disguise for me, because I later realized (after the event) that it caused me to overcome one of my greatest fears since childhood that I had forgotten about.
In a very short, old post titled, “Humiliation,” I shared a childhood story (click on title to open link in another window). Since then—throughout childhood and adulthood—I had a hard time raising my hand in any class setting that felt uncomfortable.
Though Barbara had raised her voice at one more audience member after the female she humiliated, I was determined to speak what I felt like sharing.
Like one comedian (I think Cedric the Entertainer) stated in I think Kings of Comedy, I had a wish factor that Barbara would say or yell something to me, because I was so ready for her, and I had plenty to say that would more than likely bring her to tears.
Even while deployed in Iraq as a Human Intelligence Collector (aka interrogator/analyst), I didn’t have to raise my voice most of the time (though I was assertive), and even certain, hard-core detainees softened their steel-wall personalities.
However, after I was done speaking, Barbara’s tone transformed from an aggressive one to a gentle and positive one, so I was glad that we didn’t have to go there. I trust that Barbara triggered the tigress in that one female that she yelled at, though she may not be fully aware of it yet.

The following is the rest of the above story that I didn’t include because it wasn’t related to theย Bentinho’s video:
When another audience member asked about chem trails—the third time it was brought up—I thought my heart and throat chakra areas were going to explode with intense energy.
I raised my hand and first thanked Barbara and “The Pleiadians” for their very helpful teachings within her books, and then basically reminded everyone else that we always have a choice in whatever situation—to either allow these negative events, situations, and others forms of negative energy to prevent us from doing what we came here to do, or to say, “Screw it!” and just enjoy life (like being out at a beautiful park and NOT worrying about things like chem trails, but rather, imagine them to be something beneficial, like the Family of Light flying by and leaving puffy, white trails).
I’m still grateful for all that Barbara Marciniak has contributed to humanity, and I wish for her to review her books, andย liberate herself from all the fear-based energies from within.

The following is an example of when the brutally honest, aggressive communication style worked wonders (anย excerpt from the post “Outer Angels and Demons Reflecting All the Inner Ones,” under subtitle, “Deeply Understanding the Shadow of Teamwork”:
Sometimes, when others donโt seem to understand the gentle kindness version of the assertive communication style (of โI respect you and I respect meโ)โand may mistaken kindness for weaknessโa moreย sternย version of assertiveness can be effective; and if theyย stillย canโt seem to comprehend the words, tone, and body language, the aggressive communication style (that’s NOT out of control, but stems from a place of โI care for both of us, so here’s what you need to hearโ may work wonders.

It seemed like a switch was flipped, and another side of me (a โdarkerโ side) came out. I calmly said to SGT Ram, โHey, hereโs a crazy ideaโฆhow about you get off your lazy ass and help the rest of your team for once.โ
Apparentlyย thatย sentence immediately grabbed his wandering attention. Why? Because he wasย familiarย with aggressive energy. He abruptly stood up and raised his voice, โExcuse me?! What did you just say?โ to which I calmly replied, โYou heard meโ as I slowly approached him.
He then shouted, โYouโre not my freakinโ mother!โ And I replied, โThank God for that because youโre not a good listener. How about we […]

The following is an intro to an upcoming continuation post, “Integrating Shadow Aspect of Self That’s Excessively Chatty”:
In the paragraph related to aggressive energy within the comment I shared for Bentinho’s video, I’m going to share a personal, related story that show when the aggressive communication style (used with discernment) can be highly effective.
I didn’t include this story in the comment I shared for Bentinho’s video, because I recall reading one of his very long posts (that I discontinued reading) where he shared that he often doesn’t enjoy listening to people’s stories, and that he’ll even walk off on them at times if they don’t get the hint.
Granted, I often enjoy listening to people’s sincere, honest, heartfelt stories, but don’t care for BULL$hi+ or small talk that’s just meant to fill up the “uncomfortable silence.”
I can also relate toย Bentinho needing to walk off on others because I had to learn the hard way that…
