Facing the Shadow

[volicon]

Do not look for the Shadow. Look for the beliefs which have cast the blocks within your light that have formed them.

Thank you for your advice Horuseus. For me, Shadow isn't synonym with Evil. I see them as un-illuminated parts of ourselves, denied, ignored, shamed, forgotten. They are kept locked away, unaired, repressed, and therefore over time, they mutated, turning from natural things into demons. Basically, I am recollecting lost fragments of myself, cleaning them up, and reintegrate them. I cannot do that if I keep denying them; it's like hoping to see the light while unwilling to move away the hands that's been blinding the eyes all along. So yes, I HAVE to look for my shadows, lighten them, and welcome them back to myself. That's how I unblocked some blockages in my life before. Denial does not work for me; never has.
