IN THE SHADOWS OF DARKNESS
THROUGH THE PAIN
THROUGH THE FEAR
WITH BOLDNESS
WITH INTEGRITY
WITH TENACITY
WITH COURAGE
WITH HONOUR
LIES THE REFLECTION OF LIGHT
AND
THE WHOLENESS THAT YOU SEEK

TAKE THE FIRST STEP
RECLAIM YOUR HERITAGE
YOUR BIRTHRIGHT

I lack tenacity sometimes and often honor. I'm finding all sorts of things that I thought I'd worked though. They hid while I was working.

the birthright ... sometimes is not claimed but all only the bold and the brave... true...

but then again such birth right like jacob did to esau can be robbed away from you...

z,
the most important step is in the recognising--you have been through a lot and are very talented .
all things have a cycle--have courage and strength and you can accomplish what you want--i have seen the results of your glass--that is very special qualities you have to do that---extend it into the things that you lack--you will amaze yourself.
thanks take care.

Hello Derick,
I had to share this experience with you as it may be relevant to your post.

I once had these horrible nightmares of a shadow creature that would chase me in my dreams. It woould change forms. But It was always one and the same. As I began to venture more into new spiritual learnings I began to suspect that this was my shadow shelf an so went on a quest to meet my shadow self. It was me. When I became strong enough I reached out as it went to chase me and I embraced my shadow self and said, "I love you." This was a major step for me. I have not had those nightmares since. We sometimes cannot see the light but where it is darkest the light can always reach through. Love is a very powerful force. :o)

~Namaste
