For example, could you turn into a bully if you were yourself bullied? Could you be a murderer? It turns out I could. I will happily kill spiders! So there's an aspect of my personality that thinks it's acceptable to kill—as long as the victims are eight-legged and creepy looking.

Life is constantly reflecting this information to us — but it’s a cryptic code. In a nutshell, you will only be able to see it in another person if that is a quality you have rejected in yourself but that which is still in you.

When we are angry with the selfishness of a friend, when we find the arrogance of others off putting, we may be reacting to that exact same trait within ourselves. We deny parts of ourselves and so we never are in tune with the world, we stay at war with the world, or at least aggravated with it. This doesn’t mean we surrender to, or take the leash off the bad stuff. It means we can only control something if we know it is there.urn:oclc:155432948 Scandate 20100111124124 Scanner scribe6.nyc.archive.org Scanningcenter nyc Source

Debbie Ford On 'Super Soul Sunday': God Is 'A Spiritual Energy' (Video) Huffington Post|access-date=February 20, 2013. Meeting The Shadow: The Hidden Power of the Dark Side of Human Nature edited by Connie Zweig and Jeremiah Abrams. Right now, within each of us there are two voices fighting to be heard: the voice of reason, good conscience, and the good of the greater whole; and the voice of fear, shame, and selfishness. The voice of our higher self versus the voice of our lower self. This is the dilemma, the inner struggle between the dark and the light aspects of our humanity. One voice is relaxed, trusting, and stable, while the other is fearful, nervous, and calculating. One holds the promise of serenity, peace of mind, and an innate knowledge that things are as they should be, while the other echoes the fragmented uncertainty of the unknown. One tells us to do the right thing, not to worry if our neighbors have more than us, and the other tells us to work harder, to find a way to get, collect, and win the prize for having the most toys. One tells us that we are in an abusive situation and should get out, while the other minimizes the destruction, saying, “You’ll never find better than this.” One says, “You are perfect as you are,” while the other insists, “You’re not pretty enough, smart enough, thin enough, or successful enough.” One urges, “Get help, it’s OK, we all have struggles to overcome,” and the other taunts, teases, and humiliates us, constantly warning us that if we speak up about our dark thoughts, insecurities, and fears, we will be shunned, punished, or abandoned.” The dark side of the light chasers : reclaiming your power, creativity, brilliance, and dreams / by Debbie So this book really attempts to weave together acceptance of ourselves with acceptance of humanity writ large to allow that healing to become more universal and widespread.

The Shadow Effect: Illuminating the Hidden Power of Your True Self by Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, and Marianne Williamson. Ultimately it teaches that we are part of each other. What’s in me is in you because we are human. I am all things. You are all things. We know the shadow by many names: alter ego, lower self, the dark twin, repressed self, id. Carl Jung once said that the shadow "is the person you would rather not be." But even if you choose to hide your dark side, it will still cast a shadow, according to author Debbie Ford. Rather than reject the seemingly undesirable parts of ourselves, Ford offers advice on how to confront our shadows. Only by owning every aspect of yourself can you achieve harmony and "let your own light shine," she explains. "The purpose of doing shadow work, is to become whole. To end our suffering. To stop hiding ourselves from ourselves. Once we do this we can stop hiding ourselves from the rest of the world."The crux of the book is that we play a different roles depending on our ego state we’re operating in. This book aims to help us see these games for what they are and break free of them.
