The more they travel into the light, the denser seems to be the darkness

The more they travel into the light, the denser seems to be the darkness that they are called upon to confront. Or as Jung put it: ‘The tall tree casts a long shadow’.
Sometimes the despair felt can be very deep as the full horrendousness of our inhumanity can be seen that much more clearly. 

Indeed, if we read the autobiographies of significant spiritual personages, we find that they too (just like us )have their dragons and demons to confront, their painful divorces, periods of fear and depression, conflicts with family and tragic losses. What is different is that because of the greater degree of spiritual light that they have been able to release within themselves, their ability to process their pain from a more abundant space, appears greater.Man being the inert, unconscious creature that he is, often, the only way he can ‘wake up’ is as a result of being confronted by a force greater than the sum of his own inertia!
