Pete Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 In this century we have been newly filled by the conscious knowledge of our own darkness - that we carry this darkness within us. We no longer need to project our darkness outward into demons or scapegoats - or, if we do, we know we are evoking disaster. It is by encounter with our own darkness that we recognise the light. It is the light itself which shows us the darkness - and both are summoned within us.Lorna M Marsden, 1983from Quaker Faith and Practice. GB.I have heard from others here of the importance of knowing oneself and the quote I believe echos that in an interesting way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
