Soul Pondering. 12-4

Anita Dim“Where did the shadow come from? The impulse for separation created the contrast—and the war—between light and dark. When separation goes pathological, it manifests as the shadow’s anger, fear, envy, and hostility. So the human soul feels simultaneously divine and diabolical, sacred and profane, saint and sinner. In Eastern wisdom traditions we have a saying that the sinner and the saint are merely exchanging notes. The sinner has a future and the saint has a past in which their roles are reversed. Forbidden lust and unconditional love are two sides of the same coin. You can’t have a coin without a head and a tail, or an electrical current without a positive and a negative terminal.”
