We are all on a life-time journey from shadow to light. This journey challenges us daily,
even moment-to-moment, to become the best of who we are---the person
we were meant to be.
First, we stop reacting to life as victims or victimizers. As victims we see others
as trying to fix, hurt, or control us. As victimizers, we seek to fix, hurt, or control others.
Often we swing between the two.
Next, we become psychologically healthy. We stop blaming or trying to control
others. Instead, we take full responsibility for what we think, feel, and do. We see truth and compassion as the way
to solve our problems. And we change the one
person we can change, ourselves!
Finally, we recognize that we are more than
body, emotions, thoughts, and desires. We
awaken spiritually and find God, the "Divine",
body, emotions, thoughts, and desires. We
awaken spiritually and find God, the "Divine",
or our Higher Power.
On our journey, we work through unresolved
life issues that keep us reacting as victims,
or victimizers, stuck in the shadows. We
become increasingly psychologically healthy
and empowered. And as we seek God, we
awaken spiritually. Increasingly, we live in
