Just Solve the Riddle

There is no miracle you cannot do when you desire healing.
A Course in Miracles

Your shadow is safely swept under the carpet because you deem some of your personality facets too ugly to look at so you don't want to deal with them. Yet at night it comes out. The anger eruptions, the panic attacks, the paranoia, the lust, the violence, the desire to submit, the indifference and coldness towards people you care about.

Shadow work involves two steps, first bring the stuff that you have so carefully swept under the carpet out in the open. So what if these facets of your personality aren't so kosher, so what if they seem to be in conflict with what some religions say, or with what your parents and society may have taught you. What choice do you have anyway if your objective is to become whole rather than just looking good on the surface?

The Tao is the way of paradoxes. Hot and cold, yin and yang, dominance and submission, attack and defense. The Tao is the Way of the Middle, engaged but detached, following, but leading, last, yet first. A Tao traveler doesn't have to be afraid of shadow work - we specialize in paradoxes. There is an exciting riddle waiting for you to be solved, a Mission Impossible made possible just for you if you choose to accept. When you are done solving yours you will have literally turned the world you live in upside down. You will have redefined spiritual norms, you will have expanded the spiritual possibility frontier. Face your desires and express them creatively. When it comes to becoming whole, no miracle will be spared for you. Solve this magnificent riddle, help will be just around the corner.
