RT @nick_routledge: @dysangelistes @AlbertBikaj @ConservantRight @RichardRohrOFM: "I am afraid that the closer you get to the Light, the more of your shadow you see. Thus truly holy people are *always* humble people."

@RizomaSchool @mrfewcr Likewise, Jung: “The best political, social, and spiritual work we can do is to withdraw the projection of our own shadow onto others.” And Richo: “The goal of an evolved consciousness is to take its projections back.”

Quoted by@SophiaCycles Sosan, the Third Patriarch of Zen: "One in All All in One. If only this is realized, No more worry about not being perfect!" And...back to Jung.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @EsmeLKPartridge Humility lands as a bastard.

It seems to me the nitty gritty, cosmic details are ultimately *stabilized* in the resurrective minutiae of messy, corporeal, quotidian life. Humility, the perfection of luminous wisdom, is surely made here. And what magnificent exemplars we have!Quoted by@Dan_Bowdoin end/ Frankly, the most impressive locus of shadow work I've encountered hasn't been around a couch or with a 'religious current' per se, but in mensgroupwork Stateside, specifically @mankindproject, and #Illuman, a smaller initiative leaning more fully into God acknowledgement.
