The Shadow
We are in the eye of the hurricane now, closely approaching the harsh critical voice that torments us. Who IS that? Where did it come from? In my own life the harsh critical voice takes turns with The Rebel; me, arguing with and threatening myself! I know how ridiculous it is, but I need to stop stigmatizing and start integrating. Buddha says the self is empty. I don’t find that very comforting when I’m trying to get things done. I find much more relief in my mantra: I release you. I picture that unhappy spirit; a demon, really, trying to take a break from the hell of its own misery. You don’t have to go back there, I tell it, but you do have to leave. I release you.
