Me and My Shadow

from Authentic Living · host Andrea Mathews

You know we hear the word "shadow" bandied about quite often these days, and because most of us have this idea that the shadow is the "dark side" of us, we don't really understand it very well. But it is the shadow that has us doing all kinds of things that we don't even understand, both things that we consider bad and things we consider good. Why do we fall in love, for example, with Mr./Ms. Wrong over and over again? Why do we spend money we don't have? Why did I say that? What was I thinking? These are some of the questions that result from our resistance to becoming intimately acquainted with the unconscious. And yet, many of our leading experts are telling us that if we could get in touch with and learn to walk with the shadow, we would become more authentic; we would have richer, more peaceful lives. Come listen to today's show, and learn how to look in the mirror to see and learn to dance to your own music with your own shadow.

This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology.Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture.
