Many thanks for your input Mick. I like your reference to ‘emotional brilliance.’ What you say reminds me of that inscription in some ancient Greek ruin that says something like, “Know thyself.” JoAnn and I have often realized, and talked about how at times a seemingly small thing triggered a reaction that was way out of proportion to what happened on the surface. Sometimes the roots of past hurt can go very deep. But it’s what we’re here for, isn’t it: to let ourselves be made whole. Happy to make your acquaintance. Alll the very best.

Did you know that when external stimuli bring about deep emotional responses in us, you are most likely being shown the hidden aspects of yourself?

So when ‘this’ or ‘that’ frustrates you, when ‘they’ rub you the wrong way, or when ‘it’ seems to settle over you, you are being shown a window into yourself. You are being shown your own shadow.

Remember the old adage: ‘It takes one to know one’? It speaks of shadow. If you’ve always wondered what to do with that knowledge, and how to use it to heal your shadow, you need only to acknowledge and then take ownership of these previously hidden aspects of yourself.

Emotional brilliance is to fully resolve your shadow.
