Shadow Work vs. Grounding

[GentleReckoning]

Sounds to me like this is a negative reality. If you must die before you can live.

That is a fear based interpretation.
To be free of the concept/cage of body as self, yet be able to continue in this body living changed(perspective) as a self now detached knowing the truth is an incredible gift.
Freedom.

I got that today. The suspending of certain aspects of the self so other aspects can be further developed.

And Evolving Phoenix. Meditate man. You get me all edgy with your posts. Not a ton, but just until you're present in your body. Your anxiety is literally a sign that you have stuff right below the surface that you can deal with. It's possible to create in a crazed state, but I sure enjoy it more when I'm chill and conscious. Meditation can get you there.
