Facing Inner Demons

You probably have areas in your life where you feel less comfortable and where you have to overcome inner resistance in order to advance. If you mess up, often subconsciously, it just means that your conscious will has to do a little more convincing to get the subconscious mind to come along. Facing inner demons is hard work, but in the end they can be overcome if you are persistent and if you always put your best foot forward in whatever you do.

Dealing with your perceived shadows is similar. You might choose to ignore them, you might choose to embrace them and you might choose to find a creative outlet of your inner tension, that is, to transcend the tension altogether. Either way, resistance and guilt will be flaring up given that the very notion of a personal shadow implies that your perceived holy part doesn't want to have anything to do with it. Remember, the negative signals you are getting along the way are messages that you send yourself. They just reflect your state of mind.

In all three alternatives, if you are successful, you would expect the tensions and the subconscious slips to decrease over time as the subconscious mind slowly, but surely reprograms itself and accepts this new way of looking at the world. If the intensity of the negative feed-back loop increases over time, well, then you have to go back to the drawing board until you find a way that works for your whole self.
