The aboriginal believe all evil lives after light is gone, in the dark. Sometimes after spending week or months on the ground having your days follow daylight, many western civilized folk feel the need to face the part of them that may not tolerate the dark.
When the rustling, growling, hisses, or dead silence come near for nights on end-one faces some sort of void that is liberating in a strange way. A “far away God” is of little use in these places, making one wonder if “he” is projected out there just like the “shadow” residing in ourselves we have avoided familiarize ourself with?
“No one likes to admit his own darkness. People who believe their ego represents the whole of their psychic , who neither know or want to know the other qualities that belong to it, are wont to project their unknown ‘soul parts’ into the surrounding world.”
Jolande Jacobi
