"Exploring the Shadow"

"To become conscious of our shadow involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge, and it therefore, as a rule, meets with considerable resistance."
- Carl Jung

Dear Friends,

For some time, I have been exploring my shadow: feelings and thoughts of abandonment, powerlessness, anger, and the sense that I am somehow fundamentally flawed. I share these things with you in the hopes that you will reflect upon the shadow in your own journey towards wholeness. In my exploration, I have discovered many unexamined stories and myths I have held to be true, such as: needing something outside myself to make me OK, or the need to earn love. Like many people I have felt that somehow I don’t deserve to be loved. more...

Count Your Blessings

On my way to the Bioneers Conference, in heavy fast traffic, I suddenly saw a 4 and a half foot piece of steel coming straight towards me end over end. Bracing for the worst, with no where to go, I had to let it hit my car. Luckily it took a good bounce and impaled itself like a harpoon through my front bumper, the frame and undercarriage of my Prius. Some how it managed to miss the engine or front window and did very little damage. It left me really appreciating all the miracles in my life - like each of you who reads the Well of Light - and is working to co-create an evolutionary jump in what it means to be human and respect all life. Thank you for being my miracle brothers and sisters in this journey called life...

With Love and Blessings, Michael (aka dj Divine)
