Shadow Work: Balancing the Inner Seesaw
from Father Bill W. Hosted by Father Bill W.
Fr. Bill follows Robert Johnson down into the workings of the Shadow-side of our personalities. Johnson uses the example of the seesaw to show the danger of attempting to focus attention on only one side of the personality. If we try to become “holy” instead of trying to become “whole” – we miss the center of the seesaw – we miss discovering who we are. The Seventh Step prayer reminds us, “My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad.” We find our balance in wholeness, not in one-sided holiness.
