Art of Shadow Work

Part of new-age lip service is to sign off a conversation by saying love & light while being oblivious of the shadow. I must also have a dark side if I am to be whole, said Dr Carl Jung. So what is the dark side of a polarized new-ager because a coin has two sides?

In the second verse of the second stanza of his poem titled, "The Genius Of The Crowd" Charles Bukowski gave us some insight into the flip side of the nature of the proponents of love & light.

He recited that /the best at hate are those who preach love/ and in the last stanza, he warned suffering humanity to be aware of this kind of preacher because their hatred will be perfect like a shining diamond like a knife like a mountain like a tiger and like a hemlock their finest art.

Upon the destruction of the wisdom of the wise and the frustration of the intelligence of the intelligent, what's left is Yahuah's rational meaning of love rather than a self-taught and emotionally based one where everything goes. For wholeness to be accomplished as well, the path of the heart warrior can be taken in the process of doing shadow work.

A great analogy that enlightens the mind about shadow work is to imagine your mind as a house and a burglar has broken in. Your motive shall be to grab a flashlight and find where he is. The burglar represents the dark thoughts in the psyche. So the practitioner aims to capture and transform them then annex them into the conscious mind.

The Pathology of Religious Elites: How Historical Criticism Became the New Legalism – and Why Deinstitutionalized Faith Returns Us to the Early Church's Fire

When you're stripped of the things that you hold dearly—that is, man-made denominations that have piled upon each other to form a symbolic Tower of Babel that obscures the original essence of faith—the final thing to do is to live the simple Christian life, as guided in the Book of Acts, which was arguably outlined by Dr. Luke as The Way. It embodied radical simplicity: communal living, prayer, and apostolic teaching. Acts 2:44-45 shows them having each other’s backs, no one ditched in the dirt. They refused to let anyone rot in the ditch while others hoarded like cavemen. That’s the muscle behind the simplicity—no spiritual lip service, just sleeves rolled up and hands dirty. Theology matters, but not as a debate club. Unity isn’t found in intellectual assent or historical nitpicking. Lest we're left with this absurd objective—to teleport to different historic locations and eras under different rulers to do... what exactly? If God is outside time (Psalm 90:4), quarrelling over...

Chocolate with Nuts: Valentine’s Symbol of Black Male Semen in the White Woman's Vagina

Other important holidays in the white supremacy culture further reveal the intricate workings of this symbolism. On both St. Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, the white male gives gifts of chocolate candy with nuts. In the first instance, he gives it to his sweetheart, and in the second to his mother. If his sweetheart ingests "chocolate with nuts," the white male can fantasize that he is genetically equal to the Black male. And if his mother had ingested "chocolate with nuts," he would not have to worry about white genetic annihilation—as he would have been "colored" and then could be an annihilator of white genes like the feared and envied Black male. Both the valentine shape and the chocolate candy have a symbolic meaning not previously recognized, examined nor understood by Western culture investigators. However, once the unified field of the Western culture dynamic (behavior dynamic) is set forth, it will be seen that these fragments of symbol...
