“If an inner situation is not made conscious,
it appears outside as fate.” — C.G. Jung

Our past is a shadow. Not living, exactly, and neither is it dead. It’s an apparition.

Our past follows us around wherever we go. It is not there to spook us — though it very well can — it is there to remind us.

Typically, to remind us of unresolved content, unfinished business, and areas where our ways of being have become outdated.

Our past can seem very real, especially with its truly uncanny ability to repeat itself causing us to feel unlucky or like a victim of circumstance.

Before you throw a ball forward, you take a step back. There is a symbol here of how evolution and healing works.

Prior to forward momentum, there is a regression, a step back. Before you board the plane, you need to make sure you have all your documents in order. It’s just like that.

What we bury deep inside festers, even causing physical compensation. Blood pressure issues, anxiety, depression, ADD, and so on. It causes a subtle, inflammatory disturbance that is injurious to the nervous and circulatory systems.

That past is resolved by turning towards it. Feeling it and, ultimately, seeing how perfect it was in your Soul’s journey and unfoldment. It is often the case that the deepest hurt we experience is our greatest gift. Gratitude results when we see this and that is when the shadow passes.

As is often said around here, transformation doesn’t really happen on white, sandy beaches. It happens in the murkiness and the dark hours. Don’t be afraid.

Rest, ease, and comfort are all important. Far more important is undoing your unresolved psychic content so that you can be free and project greater kindness and peace onto others and the world.

Unresolved pain can repeat up to seven generations. Let’s be the ones who volunteer to do the hard work of healing those hurts.

There are few greater sources of fulfillment, as we are accomplishing our life’s mission and rendering great service to this world.

You can do it. This is your time to do it. And there is no time except the present. 🙏🏻
