Healing Shadow

One of the greatest challenges we face in our growth towards wholeness is dealing with
shadow. The light – shadow polarity is one of the deepest and most fundamental in creation.

Source is the ground state that all in creation emerges within. In the ground state of Source
there is pure all-encompassing existence that is totally integrated, all powerful, all knowing and
unlimited by boundaries. Source is the universal Life field. It is total aliveness that is absolutely
free, free of all structure, definition, limitation and form. Creation emerges eternally within this
freedom. There is a focus of intention. Structure emerges around this focus. This structure,
initially integrated or neutral, subsequently polarises, creating fields of separation within the
wholeness of Source. These polarities interact to provide the dynamic or activity of creation.

Polarity

A fundamental polarity in creation is that of

light and its polar opposite darkness. We can
think of it symbolically in terms of the colors
white and black. If we only had white then
black & white photos, pictures and so on Light Resolution Shadow
wouldn’t be very meaningful. It is the Cosmos Chaos
interaction between white and black that gives
definition, form, information and meaning to
such pictures. There is a very similar polarity
between the ancient Greek concepts of Polarity
Cosmos or order in creation and its opposite
Chaos.

We can easily understand and relate to light. Managing the polarity around light however
provides one of the most subtle and difficult challenges on the spiritual path. We came from
Source, hold connection to Source by virtue of being alive / conscious and at a fundamental
level are Source. As such, to the extent that we are connected to Source, we hold an element
of Source responsibility for creation and all that it entails. We hold an element of responsibility
for resolving the polarities within our sphere of influence. At a fundamental level this includes
the polarities of light and darkness. Darkness manifests at our level as what we normally
understand as shadow.

Just as we all have a measure of light we also have an element of personal shadow as part of
our cosmic responsibility or burden. This isn’t a criticism, but rather a measure of our
responsibility as creators. We partake of creation and carry associated responsibility for all that

1
creation entails, including its burdens. If we wish to be Source, we have to carry a measure of
the responsibility of Source.

Creation

All polarities emerge from

a neutral core or space.
This is represented by a
neutral parent (green)
sphere in the diagram over.
This gives us a more
complete three sphere
structure. The upper
neutral sphere represents
the first emanation from
Source. It carries the
Source Intention for this
creation in its purest form.
This neutral sphere
structures the intention
further by projecting a
replica of the original
intention. This replica
splits to create two
polarised expressions of
the intention. These are
represented by the two lower spheres.

These lower polarities interact to explore the possibilities and realities of the original intention.
This allows for creativity, experimentation, learning and experience within this field of
possibilities. Ideally the polarities then merge within their neutral home space to resolve their
separation and release all back to the wholeness and integrity of Source.

This resolution is captured in the beautiful Rumi quote - “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there. …”

This diagram provides a simplified representation of some fundamental processes in creation.

Any such diagram is necessarily a limited representation. These processes are alive and
dynamic. They can’t be described fully in a static diagram. Also they are multi-dimensional and

2
no 3D diagram can do them justice. However, such a diagram does provide a useful tool for
bringing abstract concepts into relationship in some form of tangible expression.

This three sphere representation is a universal symbol. It arises as the

Tri Veca code. It also arises commonly in Celtic artwork. A similar
concept is represented in the shamrock, the national symbol for
Ireland.

The overlapping spaces between the spheres are particularly

interesting. This is where interaction arises. For example, the overlap
between the Light and Shadow spheres, the light blue space, is where
they interact. This is the ‘real’ World of activity, of contention between opposing forces and
influences and so on. However, it is also the space where things happen and in particular
where resolution is possible.

The overlap of the three spheres in the center represents a core balancing and synthesis of all
creative influences. This is where our core Source connection is held. Source is the basis for all
creation. Creation is fundamentally holographic. This means that the whole is contained in
every part, just as every part is contained in the whole. Source is infinitely present to and
within creation through a core connection point in every natural structure. This is represented
by the center space of overlap between the 3 spheres. The Source that underlies and
‘surrounds’ creation and the Source that lives within the core of structures in creation are one
and the same. Source integrates all realities. This principle is encapsulated in the expression –
‘I Am This I Am’. It is also the real meaning of the Law of One.

Inner vs Outer

Within this broad framework of creation, we as Source project a focus of consciousness to

explore the fields of creation. This is represented by the small white circle between the two red
arrows in the three circle diagram above. We can regard this projection as ‘Mini Me’, in
relation to our core Source identity as ‘Maxi Me’.

Moving out into the fields and levels of creation we experience ever greater degrees of
separation. What lies outside our identity appears as objective outer reality. Collectively we
project our creative endeavours and explorations out into this space. We are free to create
subject to the Law of Consequence. The Law of Consequence reflects the results of our
creation back to us. It manifests as the Laws of Nature and various systems of law derived from
these. This is the field of objective reality, laws and structures that Science explores.

3
We also have our inner connection to our core identity in Source. This is our subjective inner
reality. This is the realm of spirit.

What is outer at one level can become inner at another and vice versa. For example, in 3D we
can be very focused in our personal identity. We have our personal space that is our unique
responsibility. We also have a shared space with others, where there is a shared responsibility
for work, for family, for a mission, for collective issues and so on. There is a further space out
beyond our sphere of influence that is really beyond us.

If we take this up to the soul level, our soul is an expanded consciousness that embraces a soul
family of several personalities. It also embraces the shared outer space between these
personalities. So we have an expansion of inner space to encompass a measure of what is
outer space at a lower level. There is a progressive dissolution of the boundary between inner
and outer realities.

We can continue this process up through the levels in creation. As we approach Source the
boundary and associated polarity between inner and outer realities dissolves completely until
they are fully integrated in Source. This is the context in which the two seemingly separate
representations of Source in the three spheres diagram are actually the same.

The distinction between inner and Ever expanding

outer realities is meaningless near to Infinity - ∞
and at the level of Source. It Macrocosm
primarily has significance within
creation, the further the level from
Source the greater the significance.

The relationship between inner and

outer realities is beautifully Outer Spiral
represented in the symbol of a
natural spiral. A natural spiral like Zero Point
the Krystal Spiral implies and Origin – 0
contains within itself an inner spiral Microcosm
Here & Now
that complements the outward
Point of Unity - 1
expansion. This is illustrated in the
spiral diagram. The inner spiral
converges to a core central point
representing its inner core Source Inner Spiral
connection. The inner spiral
mathematically mirrors its outer Spiral Structure
complement. The inner microcosm
4
mirrors the outer macrocosm. Ultimately the microcosm and macrocosm are one. The spiral
provides a chain of connection through the fields of creation.

Inner Core Connection

Inner core connection is therefore both significant and valuable for us. Inner Source connection
is our own inner personal connection to Source. It is fundamentally important that this is
preserved as our own inner connection, i.e. that it isn’t taken over nor mediated by outside
influences. Dealing with an inner core Source connection from outside ourselves is a
contradiction. Our inner core connection is through our own core. An inner core connection
held through someone else’s core or a core mediated by other influences is an outer
connection and needs to be treated as such.

We empower ourselves by nurturing this inner core connection. It is our personal relationship
with Source, i.e. with the essence of ourselves. This is the significance of the expression – ‘My
Relationship with Source comes First’. We need spirit guidance and support that nurtures this
relationship in an empowering way rather than overwhelming it or substituting for it.

Managing Shadow

We spend a lot of our time trying to balance and resolve the competing polarities in our lives.
Most of this activity takes place in the ‘real’ world of normal life containing both light and
shadow. This is represented as the overlap zone between the spheres of Light and Shadow
marked World in the diagram over.

When dealing with polarities there can be a tendency to engage them at the level of polarity, to
counter with another polarity. For example, there can be a tendency to meet aggression with
aggression, to get into victim – victimiser situations, fight or flight and so on. This polarity
engagement is represented by the horizontal red line in the first diagram above with two
circles.

Engaging polarity in this way often serves to reinforce the polarity. As the saying goes - ‘What
we resist persists’.

All polarities emerge from a neutral space. This space holds the potential for resolution. This is
represented by the higher green sphere in the attached diagram. This holds the neutral home
space for the polarity, where it can resolve and release all back into wholeness and integrity.
The essence of healing then is to access this neutral space and hold its presence in relation to
the polarity in question to allow the energies involved to flow, balance and release. This is the
ideal for resolution of polarities.

5
The alternative is for two
polarities to bang off each other
until they shatter. This releases
the energies in a fragmented
way, but at least they can return
to Source along the ‘ashes to
ashes, dust to dust’ route. The
worst possibility is for energy
and consciousness to be trapped
permanently in polarised
structures. This possibility isn’t
allowed.

In relation to a fundamental
polarity like Light and Shadow,
Sound would represent its
parent neutral space. In cosmic
structure the first emanation
from Source is Primal Sound –
‘In the beginning was the Word.
The Word was with God and the
Word was God…’. Light then
emerges from the Sound fields. The Matter fields subsequently emerge from the Primal Light
fields. The Light fields represent the beginning of dimensionalisation and of the structure and
polarity that goes with this. Cycles of time, with beginnings and endings, emerge in the Light
fields. This is where the Time Matrix begins.

The Sound fields represent an intermediate stage between Source and the structures and cycles
of dimensionalisation within the Light and Matter fields. The Primal Sound fields are beyond
time – they are eternal. This is where true eternality resides. We all came from Source through
these sound fields and have family consciousness at this level. We are eternal to the extent we
hold connection to and embody this consciousness. The Primal Sound fields have the beginning
of structure. Structure is more potential at this level than expressed in manifest or concrete
forms.

Being ‘next door’ to Source, the Primal Sound fields are highly conscious and integrated. With
very little separation and structure, consciousness exists here as boundless fields of pure life
force, existence, creativity and intent. Since consciousness knows all as Self at this level, there
is little need for communication as we know it. These fields of consciousness are known as the
Yanas. Coming from Source we come from, and in principle have access to, this consciousness.
6
Ultimately we need to integrate to and through this level to recover full Source integrity. The
corresponding families of consciousness in the Primal Light fields are the Rishi Founder Races.

In relation to resolving Light and Shadow then we do have a parent neutral space that holds the
potential for resolution. When we get overwhelmed with issues in the World then the trick is
to Detach and Integrate to the highest level of being we can manage. This brings us towards
the neutral space of resolution. Holding this space and potential we then come back in to Re-
engage the issue in question.

This Detach – Integrate – Re-engage cycle is a powerful tool. We already use it for example
when we sleep. We detach from our daily concerns in the World and integrate to a higher level
of being during sleep. We then come back in refreshed and re-invigorated to re-engage the
world each morning. It works, most of the time!

Ultimately the intention is to resolve Light and Shadow so that the two circles merge into full
overlap. This is a process of bringing Shadow to Consciousness described by Jungian
psychologists. This is also a discharging of our responsibility as a creator to assist immature
creations to find their way home. Dealing with Shadow isn’t a reflection on us. It’s more a
measure of realism and of our responsibility in creation. As the two lower circles merge we are
left with a pair of circles in vertical Bi-Veca arrangement. The lower of these then merges back
into the upper and the whole configuration dissolves to release all energies back into full
Source integrity.

Stuck in the Light

Normal life in the real World can be both interesting and challenging. It’s a melting pot of
energies, influences, issues, contention, challenges, compromises and so on. It is Life in the
raw. The essence of Source is Life. The essence of creativity is Life flowing into and through
various forms, situations and scenarios. The goal is exploration, experience and learning.
Creativity can be a messy process. Some things work out, others don’t. There is valuable
learning and experience in both cases.

Creation is a work in progress. We as Source incarnate are learning on the job. It’s not about
waiting to conceive and execute the perfect creation, but more a case of getting stuck in, trying
things out, learning on the go, correcting our mistakes and adapting quickly.

Our engagement with the dynamism of Life in the World and with its clashing energies can be
exhausting and overwhelming at times. We need to be able to escape into the greater
tranquillity of quieter spaces like the Light fields. This is like an R&R space where we can re-
generate for a time. Having recuperated we need to get back into our World, our normal life,

7
with all its activities and cares. This is where our problems arise. But it is also where they can
be solved. If we could solve our problems and issues from the Light fields, why would we
incarnate into the World? Why would we even think of doing so? We have done so for a
reason.

The Light fields are very exciting and

stimulating. When we go into this
space there can be a tendency to
want to hang out and stay here. We
can seek to progressively insulate
ourselves from the real World and
from normal Life. This is
understandable. We can try to shut
out the baleful influences and
challenges of the World and create
a bubble of harmony and
tranquillity for ourselves.

Carried to extremes however, this

can end up as a very sterile place.
Life is about Life more than it is
about Light. Life isn’t a ‘thing’. It is
more a flow, a dynamism, an
experiencing, a balancing of
opposites, being in the flow and so
on. We need the adaptability to be
able to cope with each state and to
be able to move through and between them. We need to be functional and effectively at home
in each space.

It isn’t an issue about the Light itself, but more about what we do with our Light. Do we ground
it to be more effective, present, connected and engaged in our real everyday lives? Or do we
use it as an escape from the real World, where we create and furnish a refuge for ourselves
above and beyond the toils and compromises of normal life?

The issue of engagement versus detachment in life is explored in a very profound way in the
great Hindu classic, the Bhagavad Gita. Here the main character prince Arjuna is preparing for a
battle to secure the kingdom. He has misgivings about the conflicts and compromises involved,
the general chaos and messiness of the situation and the potential outcomes. He detaches in
confusion and seeks advice from his guide and charioteer, Krishna. Krishna strongly urges
Arjuna to find strength in integrity and then fulfil his duty by engaging decisively in battle
8
without attachment to the outcomes. The setting is very stylised to the age. But the principle
of engaging life is spelled out very clearly.

The Light fields are very fluid and creative. We can generate and play with a lot of realities in
this space. Carried to extremes we can end up with the spiritual equivalent of Disneyland. This
is great fun, very exciting and we need some such stimulation. But when the money runs out
we need to go home to the real World of our normal lives.

Shadow Projection

A problem with isolating ourselves in the Light is that we still carry our inner microcosm and the
inner Shadow influences we are responsible for. With our focus in the Light we can lose sight of
these, ignore them and regard them as having no place in our Light world. Light on its own
won’t fix these shadow influences, nor will ignoring them. If Light alone could fix them they
would have been resolved ages ago. What is required is to work with the two polarities in a
balancing process of resolution. The real World is very good at bringing such polarities and
issues into relationship, hence its value.

Shadow is quite powerful and deeply embedded in creation. It isn’t something we can wave a
technique at and assume is all sorted out. It is something that arises in our lives on an ongoing
basis and that we need to work with almost daily. When we are aware of our Shadow and deal
with it effectively it’s a very manageable issue. Realism and grounding help greatly. Also being
in contact with our own humanity and that of the people around us helps. It is good to have a
full and healthy relationship with the real World we came into and with normal people.

Shadow represents the less mature parts of creation and particularly those parts of creation we
are responsible for. Dealing with Shadow can be a bit like managing kids. It calls for a certain
amount of discipline and some tough love at times. Kids need a certain amount of fair
discipline and feel more secure when that is present. What really freaks them out is being
neglected or ignored. That’s when they start misbehaving to get attention.

When we neglect or ignore Shadow influences they start presenting in our hologram as
challenges. Such challenges are unwelcome in an idealised Light state. We can believe they
shouldn’t be there, that they don’t belong and try to eject or externalise them. We can project
them outside ourselves as somebody else’s problem, as ‘attacks’, as being ‘negative’, as ‘wrong
frequency’ and so on. They can partially be someone else’s problem. But if they are in our
hologram they are our problem too. In dismissing issues and problems, we are also dismissing
their solution. Our hologram mirrors our inner microcosm. By taking responsibility for our part
we empower ourselves to deal more effectively with issues and resolve them into a greater
degree of maturity. It is up to other people then to take responsibility for their part.

9
Management and healing of Shadow is a major activity on the path towards spiritual maturity.
Failure to manage Shadow and in particular projection of unresolved Shadow can become a
significant problem on the spiritual path and in groups oriented towards spiritual development.

We can for example believe that external groups such as the Fallen Angels (FAs) for example
are responsible for all that is wrong with the World and that if some wonderful influence
magically removes them for us that all will be well with the World. This ignores the fact that
such FAs are not just external. They also exist in our Shadow World. Getting rid of the external
expressions isn’t enough. Unless we also do the healing work to resolve these influences in our
inner Shadow World they will still be present and will simply re-project into our hologram. We
need to clear internally as well as externally. The two go hand in hand.

Projection of Shadow arises where we have a build-up of unresolved Shadow and we decide to
get rid of it by dumping it outside of ourselves. This frequently takes the form of blaming,
shunning, branding, demonising, scapegoating, and so on. This process has a very venerable
history and would be great if it worked. The problem is that we’re generally only kicking the
can down the road. Issues are not getting resolved. They tend to fester and come flying back
out of the hologram in different guises and every stronger forms until they get our attention.
Shared issues are generally best dealt with in as impersonal, realistic and effective way as
possible. Personalising issues and projecting them generally compounds them and creates all
sorts of problems.

When we project Shadow we’re not actually getting rid of it. We’re mainly losing control of it.
If we don’t deal with it internally it will tend to pop up in our outer reality, our hologram, as
issues, challenges and so on. It’s relatively easy to understand shadow issues cropping up in
our ordinary everyday lives as challenging or unwelcome influences. When ensconced in the
Light we may think that we’re safe from such influences. But we can encounter Shadow
influences in the Light also. This is where things get really tricky.

Light is a polarity and as a polarity has relationship with its opposite. Extremes of polarity can
contain their opposite to a degree. The critical issue with polarity is balance, a balance that
ultimately leads to resolution. A lack of balance can lead to oscillations and sometimes to
oscillation between the extremes. Shadow, having relationship with Light, has access to it and
can use it as a medium. As has been said before, Light can deceive, while Sound (being more
neutral) is a more reliable medium.

Wayward Shadow influences can present as Light. For example, it’s no problem for a fallen
angel or other such being to present as a being of Light. They can tune into our concepts and
language, to our needs and more particularly to our weaknesses. They can play on these and

10
lead us on a merry chase. One of the main modalities of Anu influence is seduction, basically
playing to our needs.

Shadow influences can find our innermost weakness and hand it to us on a plate. Like kids
playing pranks on an adult, they can also like to tease, play tricks and send us up. There’s little
point in blaming such Shadow influences. It is in the nature of Shadow to try and get our
attention one way or another. This can help lead to resolution. Shadow can be a hard but very
thorough teacher along the path of integration.

The main protection against such influences is to be very grounded in our lives and World, to
have a realistic and effective relationship with the Shadow influences we are responsible for
and to be pragmatic and discerning about what we are dealing with at every level. Cultivating
balance in our lives also reduces need and vulnerability.

Spiritual Glamour

We all like to feel special or important. This is fine within reason. Problems can arise however
where our desire for importance can become a point of vulnerability to be exploited by various
influences. Being special can also become a problem when it becomes separative or elitist.

Coming from Source we are special. But so is everyone else at a fundamental level. This is a
consequence of the Law of One. The ‘spiritual work’ we do is admirable. There can however be
a tendency to compare ourselves with others. For example, we can think that because we are
studying spiritual information, doing spiritual techniques and so on we are special and that the
world needs to recognise this. This doesn’t necessarily follow.

We can take the subject of love for example. When we are talking a lot about love what this
can mean is that we are studying the subject and learning about it. It is an active topic for us,
which is fine. The next stage is to fully integrate it into our lives by way of practice. Then we
become love and radiate it from the core of our being. It is so much part of us that we don’t
need to think nor talk about it. It just is. Something similar can apply to spirituality and
spiritual integration.

A mother rearing children can be practicing love in a very real way and not have the time to
think nor talk about it. Just because other people are not practicing spirituality in an obvious
way doesn’t necessarily mean they are not living it. A bit of care is needed in judging others
and their life experience. Self-esteem and a natural pride are fine, but elitist attitudes or
tendencies that isolate us as special can become obstacles on the spiritual path that reduce our
effectiveness.

11
The topic of narcissism has come up on various occasions. In very simple terms narcissism is
defined by a number of key traits:

 An exaggerated sense of importance, of being special that in extreme cases can lead to a
desire for dominance.
 Difficulty in dealing with anything that challenges this sense of importance, such as
reality checks, criticism and so on.
 A lack of empathy with others. There is so much focus on role and its needs that there
is little capacity left for awareness of the impact on others.

In the Greek legend Narcissus basically fell in love with his reflection in a pool of water and
became so obsessed with his image that this dominated his life. Narcissism can be particularly
evident on the political scene. A degree of narcissism is normal in young children, whose needs
dominate their lives. Most people grow out of this however as they mature. A greater balance
develops between one’s own needs, role and status and those of the people around us.

A form of spiritual narcissism can also develop where we assign all goodness to ourselves and
see badness as lying outside ourselves. We can see it being an attribute of and issue for other
people. We can focus very much on our Heroic Self with the capacity to fix other people.
However, our main responsibility in this regard is to and for ourselves and our inner reality and
then being willing to help others in a respectful and effective way. It’s not a question of
pointing fingers. It’s more a case of being aware of such influences and potentials, dealing as
appropriate with them in ourselves and then dealing with them in the world around us.

Transcending Personality

Normal life in our 3D World is focused very much around Personality. We relate to the World
through our Personality and view other people and influences in these terms. For example, we
can conceive of Source or God as an old man with a beard pointing a finger from the sky. When
we speak of a family of consciousness like the Yanas, Buddhas or Christs we can conceive of
them as beings outside ourselves that we relate to as we would other people. There is a them
and us divide. ‘They’ are in our outer World.

When we integrate to the level of our Soul we come into a soul family comprising many
personalities. What is the personality of our Soul? Our Soul transcends and integrates
Personality to a large degree. There is an expansion of consciousness that brings our outer and
inner worlds together, lessening the division between them. This process continues up through
the levels in creation until at the Yanas level in the Primal Sound fields there is hardly any
separation between inner and outer Worlds. There is no separation at all when fully integrated
in Source.

12
We use a term such as Yanas to relate to that
family of consciousness. The name is a handle
we can hold onto from an external Principles
perspective. It does have value in that it Personality
carries a frequency encryption that connects
to that level. However, this isn’t how the
Yanas see themselves. ‘They’ are so highly
integrated that they know themselves
intimately and in their entirety, in their
eternity. They don’t need communication.
They don’t need language, names nor handles.
That’s a convenience for ‘us’ coming from our
vantage point in the fields of creation. As we
integrate through the levels in creation we
come into this same level of integrity. The Yanas are as fully inside us as they are outside. From
that perspective we are Yanas, Eieyani and so on. At a fundamental level there is no
separation.

It can be a convenience for us to describe our relation and interaction with such as the Buddhas
on a them and us basis. This is what we’re used to in 3D life. However, this isn’t the whole
story. Increasingly we need to come to know these families of consciousness as part of our own
inner reality. We can move from a situation of ‘them’ telling us what to do. It’s more a case
then of us accessing this level within ourselves and increasingly telling ourselves what to do.

With integration, Rishi or other such families become a state of consciousness we can access.
Instead of being an external teacher, ‘they’ become an inner attitude, a way of being, a level of
integrity, a way of dealing with life and so on. Increasingly we can see and deal with life from a
Rishi, Yanas and Source perspective.

In accessing higher levels of consciousness we don’t have to hold these states continuously in
our lives. This could overwhelm our 3D lives. It’s also important that we are very grounded in
our World and effective in our lives. We also need to be able to hold a stable and realistic focus
in 3D. We need to be present in our lives. What is of value is to have the adaptability to access
and move between such states as the need arises. We can all learn to do this.

There are many states between normal 3D and full higher consciousness. We have much work
to do to heal and clear issues and baggage at these various levels. This is a process that takes
time. We can take this work at a pace that is stable and comfortable for us. Source has all the
time in the World and isn’t going anywhere without us.

13
Personality factors can become an issue with spiritual teachings. Where there is an excessive
focus on personality this can distract from the essence of a teaching. For example, Christianity
has become very focused around the personality of Jesus. Jesus has been put up on a pedestal
and people are encouraged to worship him as an external idol. Jesus’ essential mission was to
be a role model for anchoring Christ consciousness. The idea was that we also would access
and anchor this within ourselves. However, we can be so busy worshipping the external
personality that we miss the whole purpose of the exercise. This suits certain influences down
to the ground.

An excessive focus on personality can bring personality factors and politics into a teaching and
associated groups. If not managed properly, these factors can become divisive. If we look at
the range of religions in the World, we can see that they are all essentially worshipping the
same God Source. But they are assigning different personalities to their conception of God and
its representatives, e.g. Buddha, Allah, Krishna and so on. This creates unnecessary division,
which in turn leads to a huge amount of conflict.

There is only one Source. There are universal principles in creation that are common to all.
These exist beyond any of the personal factors and expressions we may associate with them.
These exist as a basis for unification in all spiritual endeavours. What is of value then is to look
beyond personality factors and seek out the underlying principles. People can identify more
readily with principles.

Also excessive complexity can become a distraction with a teaching. Relating back to
fundamental principles and working from these helps preserve the core and integrity of a body
of knowledge.

There has been great division within the human family. There is tremendous need for a coming
together around common aims and purpose, to be more effective in the real World. There is
need for a broadly based collaboration among evolutionary groups to counteract divisive
influences. Rallying around principles can help step around a lot of the drama that can be
associated with personality.

We live in exciting times! There is so much to explore. We can become sparks that ignite the
flame of transformation in our World.
