what do you do when you keep having random bouts of fear somebody you know is dead becuase you havent spoken to them? how can i prevent that from manifesting

Shadow work. It's a tool for introspection. Work with the fear, let go of resistance to it. Ask the fear to come up, tell the fear you want to feel it fully and completely. Ask the fear 'when in my life did I first feel this,' see what subconscious aspects of YOU are at play. You gotta dig through it to discover what in your subconscious is driving it. A belief you didn't know that you have? Maybe a dark desire? Maybe both? Maybe something else. Ask the fear 'how would you like to be fully expressed,' and surrender to it's chosen expression.

>Shadow work.
How do you do that? I don't know how to dig through my subconscious.

It takes practice. The most important aspect is being present with your emotions. The first sign that you have a shadow at play, is when something emotionally triggers you. All emotional triggers are the gateway into the shadow. Start keeping a journal of what sets you off into anger, fear, irritability, resentment, etc (negative emotion). See if you can notice a pattern from the journaling and the things that trigger you.

Let go of resistance to negative emotion (generally, the sensation of not wanting to feel, or be present with, our negative emotions). Literally you can open up a dialogue with your emotions, and ask them 'what aspect of me is being expressed through you'? Pay attention to your body, what sensations come up? Are there thoughts associated with those sensations? Emotions are a language, and our emotions have to be expressed, which is key. They are the feeling-sensation of an inner perspective that you hold about reality (the meaning that you apply to things). Tell your emotion, especially fear 'I am willing to feel you completely,' and see what happens. Let it come up and wash over you. Ask the fear if it's related to a childhood incident and see if any memories surface inside of you.

Teal Swann is a teacher and has a shadow work method called 'The Completion Process.' You can check that out. Also, another shadow work technique is called 'parts work,' i.e., all humans have multiple 'personality parts' that make up the totality of who we are as individuals. Look up parts work and techniques for working with your many aspects. Find out through dialogue what their needs are, when they came to you, and what purpose they're serving for you.

Remember that as you explore shadow work and manifestation online, as you search for tools, that it is ALWAYS Ok to experiment and create your own tools and your own perspective.

What do you think about the theory that Toby Fox's Deltarune is a hidden-in-plain-sight metaphor for Light Work and Shadow Work?

Never heard of Toby Fox, but I'll check him out. Thanks, anon.
