Out of the Shadows — Into the Light

from £30.72
The shadowed figures stand exactly where they always stood. They are not pursuing the young man walking forward through them. They are simply fixed at the moment they were formed, doing what they were always doing, making choices on behalf of someone who needed protecting, once. That time has passed. The choices are his now. This illustration appears in Master Your Shadow: The Four Elements of an Authentically Aligned Life, in the chapter exploring the Shadow Self not as an enemy to be fought but as a fixed point in a history that no longer has to define the present. The task isn't to do battle with these figures, that path leads only to exhaustion. It's to recognise them, understand when and why they were formed, and then to keep walking, curious rather than afraid, choosing the messages a grown and conscious self can actually use. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed ready to hang.
