I once read somewhere that we are truly perfect beings, and that the invasive dark emotions which are hard to shake are just that...invasive emotions. These are the emotions that we pick up on and open ourselves to unconciously, through compassion, empathy and unguarded awareness. They seep through the soul like oil, sliding through any pore and orriface. Just like creation and love, these too are of the Source. To deny them is to blindly acknowledge their existance and to give immense power to them. To see them for what they are, alien and not soley of our own creation creates the solace needed to move and dance WITH them rather than letting them control and reak random havoc within ourselves. The dark, the chaos is needed for change, aim the arrow and shoot wisely.
