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.

When I am Weak, Then I am Strong

Adam was a master teacher who named all animals according to their nature. He gave the snake its name not only due to its beguiling wisdom which it exhibited when it tricked Eve, but also because of its sophistication, insight, and right discernment. A little-known fact is that the serpent uses its belly to sense an earthquake days before it occurs and it is out of right discernment that it maneuvers through its rocky habitat without ever being cut. After Eve took some of the forbidden fruits and ate them, she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate too. Consequently, Adam became guilty of ushering sin into the world because he sinned with eyes wide open, unlike Eve who was deceived. Sin brought death with it. Death spread to all men because all men have sinned [Rom 5:12]. Our condition is so desperate that, biblically speaking, we cannot overcome it alone [Jere 13:23]. There is no moral philosophy, mental exercise, or group therapy that can get rid of this sinful n...

Love in SWS & Show-offism

Neely Fuller, Jr. — 'If you don't understand white supremacy/racism ,everything that you know will only confuse you. Black people have a habit of talking about black love which is something absolutely false because it cannot exist in the system of white supremacy in which in many cases black people don't even like each other. Reckon how legendary black on black crime is. Black people are prisoners of war and in the united-independent compensatory code, Neely Fuller informs all captives that this meaninglessly thrown around word called love is synonymous with justice. You can't have one without the other hence you can't have justice and white supremacy in the same universe at the same time. Consequently, you can't have love either since love and justice are the same. Justice is guaranteeing that no person is mistreated and guaranteeing that the person that needs the help most gets the most constructive help. Now no black person can guarantee that. White supremacy...
