Daily reminder to not get so lost in the Shadow Self of identifying as the opposite of something so strongly because you may hate or feel strongly about that which you are opposing yourself to. Shadow work requires meeting the parts of ourselves we have not met or the parts of ourselves we deny. But truly that what you hate is already inside of you, and it's the part inside of you that is screaming to be healed. When you find yourself hating something or feeling strongly opposed to it, look within and find out why you were opposed to it. Sure, we should all be opposed if someone is angry or harms another person, but not to stand an active opposition only to point out the center line and to prevent further damage without causing further damage. This is a delicate art and can not be achieved without complete observation devoid of any emotional involvement. Once you recognize something does not align with a higher state of being, then it is to simply separate without judgment without identifying with or for or against. If you had someone be mean to you that wore pink all the time and middle school and it caused you to distrust people who wear a lot of pink, this is an example of the Shadow inside of you that needs to be healed. As an example, perhaps there are a lot of pink and act in the way you wish you were treated.
