In the process of embodied existence, a creature accumulates a fair amount of unfulfilled promises, unfinished deeds, inharmonious relationships, suppressed desires and other empty experiences that serve only as ballast, and it is the totality of imprints-reshimo from such unfinished, disharmonious, but energy-rich manifestations that form the Shadow. In other words, instead of passing Light through itself, only coloring it with the tonality of its individuality, transforming it from “Blue” to “White,” a disharmonious consciousness “loses” part of the Light to disharmonious and unfinished affairs, and thus “throws away shadow"

Forming during life, the Shadow becomes larger and darker, the more of the Light the consciousness “scatters” in vain. It is clear that the energy lost in this case is actively consumed by various predators and parasites interested in the ineffective work of consciousness and, to a large extent, inspiring it. Moreover, what restrictions and problems will arise in the “next” life are largely determined by what kind of Shadow was created in the “past” life. Being an imprint, a reshimo, from the stream of consciousness generated by the Monad, the Shadow is naturally attracted to all other streams generated by the same Monad. That is, the “sins” of one life affect subsequent incarnations until the data in the Reshimo are neutralized

It is also necessary to distinguish the Shadow from the post-mortem state of a disembodied being - for example, its state as an Elementer, or, in the worst case, Utukku. A shadow is not an under-incarnated being; We are talking about the purely mechanical need to “pay the bills”, which stretches behind the creature, moreover, the shadow is formed not only by “sins” and misdeeds, it is generally any inharmonious attachments, including those that seem quite decent - attachment to work, not bearing the carrier of the development of consciousness, attachment to relationships that do not lead to improvement, and so on

The magician is not at all interested in energy outflows and future problems associated with this; he must also strive to avoid current influences, including those associated with the Shadows of “past” lives parasitizing on him. Magic has developed two approaches to get out of this situation. Firstly, the magician must avoid generating Shadows in his existence - his affairs must be completed as much as possible, and his connections must be effective. It is this kind of existence that is called flawless. Secondly, the magician must, if possible, withdraw support and neutralize the Shadows created in previous incarnations of his Monad. This can be done either by distributing debts accumulated over “past” incarnations, or by melting or unweaving your soul. However, regardless of the chosen method, the influence of the Shadows on the magician’s stream of consciousness must be stopped, or at least minimized
