Light and Shadow—The Dual Nature of Growth

 To heal, you must first acknowledge the wound

Elaboration: You cannot heal what you refuse to acknowledge, seeker. The shadow holds your wounds, your pains, your buried fears—but you cannot simply ignore them and hope for healing. To heal, you must shine the light of awareness upon the wound. The Mad Mage learned this truth the hard way, for no amount of magic or power can erase what remains hidden in shadow.

 Reflection:

Reflect on any emotional or spiritual wounds you have been carrying. Have you fully acknowledged them, or are they hidden in the shadows? What steps might you take to bring them into the light for healing?
