 Facing the Shadow
In the Hebrew Scriptures, Isaiah says: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter … Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people.”
The twin forces of good and evil, light and dark, appear in most traditions with variations on the theme. In Chinese Taoism, the well-known yin-yang symbol represents the alliance of opposites as they flow into one another; but in addition each pole contains the other in eternal embrace, inextricably linked by their very nature. Everything with substance casts a shadow.
I was learning that as I ascended out of the pain of physical symptoms my soul/spiritual journey was heading in an entirely different direction. Out of disease, I had sustained environmental stresses and pressures, which had helped me to create a great number of illusions and delusions to power my existence to date. Every issue I faced in an effort to becoming more conscious was like pulling another untruth from the magicians black bag of tricks. There wasn’t a white rabbit to be found!
