We See Only That Which We Are.

We Can't Fight Darkness With Darkness. We Have To Find Compassion, And Embrace The Darkness Inside Of Us In Order To Understand It And, Ultimately, To Transcend It.

The Toltec Tradition Tells Us That We Surrender A Portion Of Our Life Force When We Dwell On Any Unhealed Wounding Event From Our Past. The Unprocessed Emotions Surrounding These Events Burden Us And Weigh Heavily On Our Hearts. They Must Be Dealt With If We Want Access To All Of Our Vitality. Ultimately, What We Will Find Is That Forgiveness Is The Key To Reclaiming All The Life Force Locked In Past Hurt.

Your Life Will Be Transformed When You Make Peace With Your Shadow. The Caterpillar Will Become A Breathtakingly Beautiful Butterfly. You Will No Longer Have To Pretend To Be Someone You're Not. You Will No Longer Have To Prove You're Good Enough. When You Embrace Your Shadow You Will No Longer Have To Life In Fear. Find The Gifts Of Your Shadow And You Will Finally Revel In All The Glory Of Your True Self. Then You Will Have The Freedom To Create The Life You Have Always Desired.

It Isn't What Happens To Us In Life That Creates Our Joy, But Rather How We Respond To What Happens In Our Lives.

Fear Is The Culprit That Robs Us Of Our Greatest Lives. And Although It's Mostly Made Up Or A Learned Behavior From Our Past, Almost Everybody I've Ever Met In My Life Struggles With Fear.
