On Wholeness
And you, you scare people because you are whole all by yourself.
— Lauren Alex Hooper
Creating wholeness within ourselves is the path of self-mastery. I see a lot of “love and light” speak in the spiritual and personal development communities. This is only half the story, half of yourself. The real work comes from looking at all of you. Creating true wholeness comes through integration, acknowledging, accepting, and loving the unseen, shadowy aspects of our person. Living in our fullness, in our wholeness, is powerful, unshakable energy because the more whole you are, the less you need from that which is outside of yourself, and the less control over yourself you give up. Claim your power back. Do your work.
