“Negative introspection damages the soul. It holds many people trapped for years and years, and ironically, it never allows them to change. It is wise to allow the soul to carry on its secret work in the night side of your life. You might not see anything stirring for a long time. You might have only the slightest intimations of the secret growth that is happening within you, but these intimations are sufficient. We should be fulfilled and satisfied with them. You cannot dredge the depths of the soul with the meager light of self-analysis. The inner world never reveals itself cheaply. Perhaps analysis is the wrong way to approach our inner dark.”
John O’Donohue Änam Cara
Growth is not as obvious as you may wish – especially for us impatient ones. It is a subtle weaving that plants itself throughout our life. Understand that light and dark live side by side. Allow divinations to come to you with an open mind and open heart. As John says, the inner world never reveals itself cheaply but it always gives us the exact information we need if we are willing to listen.
