Your Shadow is the second part of "The Journey of Becoming", a series of philosophical poetry films about self-realization. The purpose behind this film is to encourage an honest encounter with the self. Excruciating at first, it demands that we remove our social mask, loosen the confounds of our ego and its corresponding identity and confront our many demons in the name of conscious expansion and self-integration.

Transcript

To show up as you and step into a place of resonance,

A place that speaks to you.

Intales more than becoming unbound by the rules of the common crowd.

It requires that you remove the socially desirable mask you wear,

The persona that you have over identified with and carry everywhere.

And that you look deeply into the eyes of the demons within it and step into the denial and the comforting distance that lies between the outer you and the darker,

Unpolished side of you.

Your sense of resolve,

Your calling can only blossom from the truth within.

Even the painful parts you hide,

The unbridled emotions,

The shadow side,

The shame,

The vulnerability and if you have one,

Then even the broken child in you who cries,

But you turn away because you don't want to listen to what it has to say.

Yet deep in these raw spaces,

Away from the collective voices,

Away from who you are trying to be and who you should be or who you could have been had circumstances been different is where your voice lives.

Your source of creative transformation,

Your solution,

Your heart's focus,

The change you want to see in the world,

The key to your lofty purpose.

And once you unlock it and begin to live in line with it,

All your broken pieces will start to slowly merge into one as if within you is a gravitational force that has been switched on,

Bringing more and more of you towards you and more and more of what resonates with you around you.

Like planets orbiting the sun,

You become your own solar system,

Richer,

Bigger and in complete unison because the goal is never to be perfect.

It is to be whole.

Just what I need. At an age when all is supposed to be finished or finishing I have found myself incomplete. Ignoring that forgotten bit, that hidden parts long has become easy. Thank you. So much for sharing a way to open a hidden door.
