Dancr6,

You're spot on in your thoughts and conclusions and I'm enjoying getting to know you. earlybird

"In Jungian psychology, the shadow or "shadow aspect" is a part of the unconscious mind consisting of repressed weaknesses, shortcomings, and instincts. "

The Glorious side is the "Adult" in us that reasons before it reacts. The state of mind that follows things through to a logical conclusion before it speaks. Responding versus reacting!

Mark, what i write here isn't intended to be dogma. I don't evangelize or proselytize what has worked for me I just throw it out there with the thought that it might be of some value to someone. If what I write is malicious or dangerous report me. If it is just contrary to what you think is valid, ignore it.

?? so ... if you don't like what i say you get in my face about it ... but if i don't like what you say, i am to "ignore it" ...
believe it or not, i truly did not mean to offend. forgive me for sharing my thoughts. i should have kept them to myself.

Mark, I owe you an apology, I am the one who was angry and I jumped to conclusions. I was feeling a little insignificant at the time I REACTED to your post.
Please don't take that as the way that I plan to RESPOND in the future. I had a friend who's opinion I hold high and he basically said what you just said.
Once again, I am sorry for my inappropriate remark.

Mark, just to help me feel better, I want to apologize again. what I did was a good example of my "shadow side" taking over. I wonder when I will ever, if ever, leave that behind me. Hopefully soon, it causes me to feel like I am still a lot less than I want to be.
