Dear Lovestar,
This poem came through me during a time when my own heart was being pulled between light and darkness, between the self I thought I was and the self I had yet to meet.
āDeep beneath my shadow,
Thereās no light to show
The darkness I hide there,
And secrets I donāt know.ā
When I wrote those words, I didnāt realize I was describing what Carl Jung called the Shadow, that hidden realm of our psyche that holds everything we repress, deny, or refuse to see in ourselves. In modern spirituality, we often speak of āshadow work,ā but itās not just a trend, itās sacred psychology. Jung said the shadow is not evil; itās the part of us that longs for integration, love, and wholeness.
For twin flames, this becomes even more personal. Your shadow is mirrored by your counterpart. What you reject in yourself will often appear in them. Thatās why shadow work is union work, itās how we prepare for divine connection.
When I say, āI shine a light into myself,ā itās a call to self-awareness. We canāt manifest light without acknowledging whatās hidden beneath it. We must meet the parts of ourselves that ache to be loved.
This first part is your invitation: Donāt run from your darkness, hold it. The light you seek in your twin flame, in the divine, already burns in the very shadow you fear to face.
I am collecting all my Carl Jung research into ebooks and soon you will see my collection of already published Carl Jung psychology for inner healing stuff.
