KEEPING BALANCE

         There is a complete polarized opposite of Every thing in creation!

The Dark Side of the Force

Darth Vader -alter EGO- results of unexpressed, unattended, unbalanced emotional energy.

Upon reading the title, I bet the first thing you thought about was Star Wars and Evil Darth Vader. Actually that's exactly what I intended, hoping to draw your attention to your dark side or shadow self.

Each one of us has a dark side/shadow self. It does not mean that it is bad or evil. It simply means there are parts/aspects of ourselves that exist in the shadows of who we appear to be in the light of day.

For example, as child you may have dreamed of being a great dancer or an artist of some kind but never had the opportunity to pursue it. Instead you became a waitress or bus driver. Now, it seems as though those dreams and desires are long forgotten and no longer have place in your present day reality. Where did the talent go? Where's that person who could dance better than any trained ballerina? What happened to that guy who's art was recognized by his entire community?

You're still alive and well but you are expressing another part/aspect of your self. The present day self (waitress, bus driver etc.) is living the light of day while the dancer, artist etc. has receded to the shadows. Hidden deep within the black matter from which everything originates. The dark space of infinite possibilities and the place where the formless takes form.

We are multifaceted beings and as co-creator with the Source (Great Creator,God etc.) we were gifted with a variety of attributes. Denying ourselves freedom of expression for any one part may lend us grief and disappointment. We may become bitter and resentful of others who seem to be honoring their true selves in the light of day.

Of course we are unable to be all things at all times. However, recycling the parts of ourselves that no longer serve our current path creates room for more dark matter to take form and surface from the shadows.

Balance is the key to having a successful life experience. Recognizing, accepting and honoring the queues of change is vital.
