Well said & so true. What a clear & helpful transmission for where we have arrived! I think truly digesting this clarity can help move us all individually (& begin to catalyze the collective energetically) towards the shorter timeline: potentially. Thank you!

Stephen and that which has moved through you...yes! what courageous and powerful guidance. Shadow work is almost always exclusively related to the individual isolated self. Cultural shadow work presents a whole new dynamic! I have felt that America was going through a dark night, but even this is generally perceived as personal transformation. Viewing Donald Trump as a soul who has agreed to embody these dark attributes so we can see them and work with them also lifts the weight of anger and hatred which actually fuels and reflects that shadow.

I will be considering how I (as a nature-based art therapist) might begin to provide culturally based shadow work as well as working with greater care on my own (the example of feeling hostility toward Trump being one clear shadow I am carrying). Thank you for this sharing!!!!
