“Any energy that you deny becomes a demon for you. It becomes your inner tormenter. And you don't get rid of your demons. You embrace them. Not indulge them, but embrace them. And if you embrace them in a way I am talking about, they no longer feel like demons. They are just energies that are available to you. They are just part of this whole spectrum of what it is to be conscious and alive and present. And everything becomes joined together back again. A mature emotional life is when all the different parts of yourself emotionally are joined back together. Nothing is put outside, nothing is denied, nothing is hidden. Nothing is unacknowledged. All brought together so that it can all come together.” ― Adyashanti Art • “Fallen Angel” by Michael C. Hayes image

What you resist persists. If you resist the darkness instead of understanding it and accepting it, it will persist and continually create misery in your world.

In the depths of your shadows, they become you. And to claim them, you must submit. Let them writhe, let them caress - in your arms, they dissolve.
