The Shadow Self : Conversation between Otto and Risen (J.N Villarreal)

The Shadow Self : Conversation between Otto and Risen (June Val)

I have been having anger issues. It seems I did end up suppressing my shadow subconsciously and some emotions. I thought I had countered this but today, after someone mocked me, It was the trigger to an emotional outburst. But least It wasn't possession, and I wasn't blinded, but with alot of events piling at once, I did the best I could to control the situation. But this is a conversation I had earlier on the shadow.


The Shadow Stirs within

It is not easy dealing with our emotions when things go wrong. It is definitely hard forgiving those who hurt us, and even harder when they are not willing to accept responsibility for their own actions.  Some emotions are harder to deal with than others as we progress on our journey. But one thing we must never do, is go into denial on them.

Running away is not the answer.

We can go through life avoiding pain and deny how we feel. We have our self-image and we want to keep it intact. How others sees us is important to our ego, since we ultimately want to feel accepted and not rejected in this world. So maintaining that self-image often becomes a burden on our shoulders as we go into denial on how we truly feel.

Below is a conversation I had with a friend of mine about the shadow.
