Illuminating darkness has always been an intriging concept for myself. Many talk about the magical power of shadow work. This is also known as, embracing those things we do not see or we do not WANT to see.
There are powerful lessons to learn in those things which we call darkness. The more you push them down, the more they tend to rise and overpower us in life. You might notice that many spiritual workers, those two are connected to the universe, those who are playing big in life, share what they have learned while embracing those shadow aspects of them self. This being key in our growth as a spirit in this physical body.
Duality in all things is necessary for here and now. We are spirits come here to experience all aspects of humanity lighten dark is crucial and honoring our souls yearning to embraces human experience.
