Progressing On The Path Of Meditation

“The darkness of the shadow of the pine tree depends on the clarity of the moon”. In this metaphor, the pine tree stands for the person who meditates, the moon symbolizes the awakened mind, the conscious mind. And the shadow stands for, well, for our shadows, that is our inconsistent behaviour, the places where we lack integrity, our obstacles, our illusions… In short, every inner situation that is not yet brought to consciousness.

Beautiful metaphor of the pine tree with the clear moon shining and the shadow. The clearer we are on the path of meditation giving the space for our higher self, the more our shadow side become clear. And we, the pine tree, the conscious self to fully embrace our human condition.
I’ll do this one again to let the image resonate even further and anchor in my self. Thanks
