“Constant positivity is a form of avoidance, not a valid solution to life’s problems”
~ Mark Manson
This is a very interesting comment. I find it really difficult to deal with excessive ‘loving and lighting’ and ‘thinking positive’ as it jars my energetic body. When we hang out in light all the time, pretending to ourselves that Shadow doesn’t exist, or that we can think it out of existence, we create imbalance.
Everything in this world exists in polarity. Therefore, everything is driven to equalise.
When we pretend the Shadow doesn’t exist or that we can ‘love it away’, we swing further and further towards the light polarity and further away from a state of balance.
When we do this, we end up creating more Shadow because of that constant drive to equalise and create balance. This occurs both within us and without in the world around us, and it manifests as turmoil all around. To create balance in our world we must fins the balance between Shadow and Light.
