Someone asked me about 'the shadow side of oneself ...'
My response - The one in the mirror has a shadow... The one this side of the mirror has no shadow...
Seeing Who I am does not deny I have a 'shadow', or get rid of my 'shadow'. But what it does do is place that 'shadow'. I see where it is.
It's likely that I can be more honest about Richard when I see where he is, and where he is not. (Though never totally honest... The only 'thing' that is perfectly transparent is this Transparency.)
This is deep therapy!
