We all are living with shadows
of what one does to oneself,
where by we all are traveling
through this kind of dark matter
as a substance
we share, almost unconsciously share
with each other.
When the shadows of a person
become an apparent part
of their fabric of being,
there is an authenticity present
on these walls
that represent self-containment.
And when these walls of darkness
interact with another person’s darkness,
you have the response options
of projection, guilt or blame,
for your own withholdings.
Yet not all of these walls
are guaranteed to become negative
for the structure of one’s consciousness
includes these
possible glitches,
as blind-spot gaps
or as hidden but dynamic
anchors of being.
These as aspects or traits,
can become the fabric
of character development
or of character denial
in a person’s eventual progress,
awareness and personal evolution.
But they’re not the source
of the being.
More so,
they are the hidden part
of the conscious wardrobes
that we come to project
and become,
in contract with others
by the wearing.
All of us,
during the course of our lives,
have a multiplicity
of these wardrobe options
pass before us.
They are for changing or transforming
our apparent self-wardrobe,
by exposing the unconscious sources
of some of our character traits,
and there by being more expanded
and more conscious
as an expression of presence
from our spirit coming through.
Subsequently we are then
less of the projection
that holds together
our world of denials
and more of and in the light
that provides for
our conscious expansion of being.
We all agree to conventions
that include these denials
as part of our interactiveness,
though subtle, with others.
It is part of the great sloop
of riddles, conundrums,
mysteries and koans
that each of us face from within,
even though we are in
the shared practice of acting out
what we can’t source more directly.
Blaming ourselves or blaming others
is only a position of impasse
and lack of personal connection
or depth to see more directly
and more clearly from within.
In the bigger picture,
this confluence of blindness
once dynamically acknowledged,
eventually leads to greater truth.
Developing self-love is the shift
from the illumination of a flashlight
to the enormity of a floodlight
from within, thus going forward.
By these shadows of darkness,
be they caverns, closets,
drawers, blind spots,
or metaphorical dark nights of the soul,
we have methods of awareness
to transform all of these shadows
into self expansion, transformation
and illuminations of our being.
Dark matters . . .
