I love that you can look at the dark side of the Moon yet instead of total darkness, the light reflecting off Earth’s surface bounces back to us off of the Moon’s dark side. That’s why it’s always slightly brighter than the space behind it. Because you can see Earth’s reflection.
You can love your shadow in the same way.
Because it’s there to show you what’s being reflected from you.
It doesn’t need to be illuminated to do so. If you tried that, the little bit reflecting back would be washed out by the illumination. Instead, let it be exactly what it is. And let the shadow reflect to you exactly what’s perfect for you at the time.
Shadows aren’t evil or bad. That’s just the conscious mind that judges. When you go deeper, the shadow is an integral part of oneself that reflects back to you just what you need in that moment.
Love yourself. The shadow isn’t something to be pushed down or cast away.
It is to be integrated.
That’s how you get the higher lesson.
