YES! Thank you @Angela Morris for addressing the toxic positivity and subtle but devastating “blame culture” happening in many New Age spiritual communities. I do believe everything happens for our greatest empowerment, even the messy stuff, but we can’t sugar coat what happened, and we can’t blame ourselves for it, because then we’re also turning the punishment onto ourselves. It’s a tough battle, but super real and raw and there’s a whole bunch of bypassing happening right now which is only inducing more shame and burying even more pain.
Alchemical gold: "Let me repeat…the nemesis of the shadow is Joy. If you only go into the shadow work but never look at its opposite you are missing the point. The center of the paradox requires you know both the devil and the angel, of which both have the potential for negative and positive outcomes within their interworkings and wisdom."
