Autumn
Welcome to The Shadow Side. As all “things” have their shadow, their opposite, so do all efforts and all desires. Even as we bask in summer we appreciate the coming of chill. At the very moment we revel in sunlight we are longing for darkness. Unfortunately this also means that something inside of us – Freud called it “the death wish” is sabotaging our life force. We must face this demon squarely if we wish to heal. Our “will” is a poor ally on its own. Consider sleep, not as a “nothing”, a “loss” or an “absence” but as a necessary unconscious pleasure. It’s time of healing. Where would we be without dreams? We came to adulthood learning to “manage” our dreams – we know nightmares aren’t “real” and we have learned how to program ourselves into pleasant dreams. So we must harness the power of he unconscious for healing and not fear that “loss of control.”
