down. It not only contains parts of us critical to our wholeness, (and
therefore to our healing), it also contains immense energy. What we
don't want to know; what we struggle to avoid, resist, deny, and
disown carries a disproportionate amount of force.
The unconscious mind, where the shadow lives, is like the iceberg
under the surface of the ocean, as opposed to the conscious mind which
is the tip (of the iceberg) which we can see. It was what was hidden
beneath the surface that sank the unsinkable Titanic in mere minutes.
What is hidden in the shadow looms large, menacing, and sinister. When
we turn on the light we are often relieved to discover it was an old
hat or a coat hastily thrown over the bed post. Sometimes, when we
turn on the light, we are thrilled to find in the shadow something we
believed was lost, or worse, stolen.
Blessed Be!!
Much Love~
