I love that the Gold is in the Dark. Shadow work is so powerful and I love it. I rather be whole than be good. Love is inclusive it leaves nothing out. Make a list of things you do not like within yourself and see the gifts in them. Seeing the gift in the pain - horse manure pony story really special. Freedom is the ability to chose who and what you want to be at any moment. The finger pointing is a strong exercise. We judge when we don't accept that quality within ourselves and if you admire greatness in a human being it is your own greatness you are seeing. Attend your own lectures - what are you lecturing on about that you should be paying more attention to. Dance with the shadow and shine brightly! Fabulous note! Christina Dark Side of Light Chasers

I blame my work circumstance for so much yet at the same time it is my biggest lesson (something I mentioned before) and since taking responsibility for my thoughts/actions at work things have changed for the better and continue to change. I found this to be a great note in reminding us to accept the not so great stuff and recognize that we need the not so great suff as a foundation for the great goodness we are all capable of having to bloom beautifully :) post 2 of 2

I love how she emphasizes that love is all inclusive and that we need to look within ourselves. I see these two points as compassion and taking responsibility for our life, two very big ideas discussed in nearly every note thus far and two points that are extremely important as we master our practice. Personally for me it took me some time to accept the parts of me that I disliked but once I accepted them I found that changing them became so much easier and enjoyable. I think the exercise of asking "How Am I That" is a HUGE one and one that I personally need to engage in daily, especially around my work peers. I find that I seclude myself at work and mentally judge/complain/criticize some of the people I am not too fond off. I am well aware of the negativity this creates to my own wellbeing and those of others and it is something that very recently I have started working on. post 1 of 2

It takes us to a new place in our consciousness where we have to open our hearts to all of ourselves, and to all of humanity. Freedom is being able to choose whoever and whatever you want to be at any moment in your life. Hold your hand straight out and point at someone. You’ve got one finger pointed at them and three more right back at yourself. Attend your own lectures. Dance with the Shadow!! It is a real postmortem of our inner side!!

That insight gives me permission to let my light shine. Because it lets me shift the attention off myself and on to others.
