Over the last few months I have had so many questions running around my head that I thought I would make a concerted effort to get some answers about Overshadowing, once I began looking into to the concept I began to get a lot of information. Of course the reader can do that too if they wish. What I am not going to go into right here is historical facts and figures, but what I will do is point to some background reading along the lines that I myself had to do in order to make sense of my own direct experiences.

Enough of this. Back to my questions.

My closest shadow comes from the Reverend I think he is the strongest and most experienced of my soul group, he talks with great knowledge and experience, and it has taken me many years to begin to trust what he says. Over the years \I have been convinced that he influence was bad and would cause me to go astray or do things that are not good. After much verification and testing though now I trust him implicitly and I know that his words are sound. In no way does he expect me or anyone else to take up what he says without a great deal of self analysis. That is well worth remembering.

The Reverend has no other names that I know, he is only known as that and more, although he is a man of God he is not a Church Reverend in the traditional sense. He says that now, but in the past he has been a Church Rev. Now he considers his self a reverend of life. His life that is.
"Do only that which is right".
Every person has the natural right (and the responsibility) to peacefully determine what is right. The Rev. is an advocate of religious freedom.
He wants all pursue spiritual beliefs without interference from any outside agency, including government or church authority.
He is very clear that authority lies with the individual alone and with no other, also very clear that this is no way anarchy. As each person realizes that they are as responsible for the mess we are all in as the next person we will see some marked changes in the way we all live on earth.
I don’t talk to the reverend, I kind of think to him similarly he doesn’t talk to me either, he thinks to me. Even so, I am totally aware that these words are no good for describing what is happening because they are far too literal. What I mean by that is, I don’t get thoughts in my head from the Reverend nor do I hear voices! All I can try to do is describe what is happening using the words that I have, the poor fact is I know that the words are not up to it.
There is a clear reason for this, the perception of some things are not based in the logical mind alone, they are a mixed of logic, emotion and perception.
The best I can do is describe what I know bit by bit and not worry too much about making sense.
The reverend though goes to great lengths to explain if I don’t understand (which is often)
