Lighting Up The Shadows of the Mind

Even though the mind creates its physical surroundings first with thought, it is never completely free from shadows in the mind.

It remembers fears, defeats, laments, hurts and all of the slings and arrows of existence.

All of these negative shadows influence our thoughts, actions and surrounding more powerfully than positive thoughts because of the depth of emotion attached to them.

Emotion maturity enables us to examine these shadows of the mind, and eliminate them through the conscious effort of rational thinking and seeking serenity. Once we learn how to illuminate the shadows of the mind, we become illuminated ourselves.
