  • Shadow Work. Part I – Beneath the Shadow: The Poem as Portal

    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.

    ā€œDeep beneath my shadow,
    There’s no light to show
    The darkness I hide there,
    And secrets I don’t know.ā€

    When I wrote those words, I didn’t 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 ā€œshadow work,ā€ but it’s not just a trend, it’s sacred psychology. Jung said the shadow is not evil; it’s 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. That’s why shadow work is union work, it’s how we prepare for divine connection.

    When I say, ā€œI shine a light into myself,ā€ it’s a call to self-awareness. We can’t manifest light without acknowledging what’s hidden beneath it. We must meet the parts of ourselves that ache to be loved.

    This first part is your invitation: Don’t 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.
