A Sacred Journey: A Psychology of Finding Inner Light

The Psychology of the Shadow and the Light

Dr. Thomas Maples

I thoroughly hope you enjoy today’s episode. I have worked diligently to bring you a true personal passion that underlies my love for the field I practice. I owe gratitude to Dr. Carl Jung and author Walt Whitman for today’s podcast. Without the wisdom of both authors, this examination into the depths of the human psyche would not be possible.

As the picture suggests, when we face the light, we cast a shadow upon even our being by that which does not meet its life-giving force. But like the back of the woman pictured above, the shadows of the past lie simply behind us. While their presence may be just a fading memory, the wisdom and lessons they produce inextricably link to the beauty of our journey.

Please comment if you have found this podcast of interest. I hope it has helped. My commitment here is to make psychology accessible so that others may identify and realize their dreams.

With much gratitude, my friends. May blessings find you on your journey to advance confidently in the direction of your dreams.
