Fr. Bill explores the origins of shadow within the development of human consciousness. To adapt to culture, to become civilized, we must each pay a price. That price is the repression of the things in us that both society and we ourselves deem unacceptable. Push these things down and they form a shadow in us. Let them build and fester and they’re likely to explode. Befriend them, engage them consciously and they can become a source of hidden power and inner gold. This is the recovery journey. Tell Nancy, it's a whole lot more than JUST SAY NO!
