This thing of darkness I acknowlege mine. There is nothing more confining than the prison we don't know we are in.
William Shakespeare
The last post about The Dark Side -3 , was about me. Results of 2 tests i made online, funny they were supposed to be! but the word that kept me busy for a while was that i'm a "rogue wandrer" searching for my "shadow self".
The shadow self is the word that kept ringing in my head as i didn't really know the meaning of it . Here's what i found about the shadow self !
" The shadow self is what sabotages our relationships, jobs, it denies our spirit, keeps us from realizing our destiny and dreams. It is what we sweep under the rug. It gets buried and repressed into our deep unconscious self. The shadow is what we don't want to be. It seems so horrible and grotesque feeding into our greatest fear that someone might discover our dark shameful secret --- further repressing it. Hiding what's inside gives it power, because we don't have the power to chose --- we just react. It is the voice that says we are unloved, undeserving, unworthy, keeping us from what we want or desire. It shows itself through our projection of judgements on others. What we don't own about ourselves we project onto other people. It is the only way to get our attention. terrified of discover the ego disowns it and uses the tool of judgement to protect itself --- but only prevents self realization. When you don't own an aspect of your life --- it runs your life. "
Now i guess it is a good result after all , that i'm searching after my shadow self .

Only truthful mirrors and sincere love show us our real self. Both can go deep inside us and reflect our image, feelings and power/weakness
If we keep hiding or denying, then we will never realize our destiny and dreams
I couldn't say it better :)
And that's what i believe in by the way, so, i keep searching through them, i only hope they aren't hiding any part of what they think about me !!
