We all contain creative qualities and powers that we have kept hidden out of fear and self-doubt. Our shadow includes all that we abhor about ourselves and all the wonderful attributes that we have disavowed or denied. We project these negativities onto others as strong dislike. We project our own positive potential onto others as awe and admiration.

We do not have to keep projecting our own powers onto others, but we can reclaim them and use them mindfully and imaginatively. Then foes become allies; dark angles become archways of light. We learn to hold ourselves with lovingkindness. We learn to act lovingly toward others whose dark sides may be disturbing us. We learn how intimate relationships become more tender when we appreciate the nature of our own and our partner’s fears and projections.
