The Meaning and Association of Light and Shadow

Why do we need light and shadow in our lives Why do we need light and shadow in our lives? This is Bob's article on March 10, 2012. In his opinion, "Light and shadow are two halves of the whole and point to the dual forces of our lives; they are vital to maintaining the balance of life."

Bob also argues: "Light is an ancient symbol of the center of many sacred traditions, represented by every spiritual attribute of brightness, divinity, love, justice, and divinity; light is even considered as eternal, infinite, the same, its opposite, even that the shadow of the light world, the temporary dust heap, or the illusion of the disappearance of the moment, Ultimately, a deception that attempts to divert our attention from the light it reflects. "This is Bob's analysis of light and shadow from another perspective

If we fall into the middle of the dual power of light and shadow If we fall into the middle of the dual power of light and shadow. However, each one can only exist because of another. Process that aims to bring about the spiritual evolution of human nature and the transformation of personal life. Overall, both are needed for progress and transformation. Contrast and opposition create structure. They are a necessary condition for us to be ours. mullah assures us that our sharing of the "Holy Light" is already within us: "You are my lamp, my light is in you , and I have placed the essence of my light You are satisfied and have no choice.

In the end, Bob posed something worth considering in the article: The 45th Way to Explore Your Soul - Is Rose Still a Rose Without Thorn? Will the Story of Judas without Christ be the same? If not Wealth, poverty will be unfair? Conscious life to find meaning in these contrasts, which means that influence and punctuation, and even change us. How is your life changed by the presence and interaction of light and shadow? How can you help you to maintain the basic balance of life, give it a meaningful model, and make you consciously understand the whole? Write down the contrasts in your life Stories, and how to find your inner light in order to balance them. I really like Bob's article. For light and shadow, we can do a lot of imagination and metaphor.

Some people say that darkness and shadows were originally linked to the northern hemisphere, while winter is a period in which the sun is rapidly changing. For our ancestors, as the sun and the moon moved, our ancestors saw tremendous changes in light and darkness. During the winter solstice, our ancestors saw the sun disappear on the horizon and their days were greatly reduced. In the setting sun, the shadows play at their imagination and fear. It changed the opinion and belief system of the inhabitants there. Therefore, people worship the sun because darkness represents the world of death, just as the world of light is life. Light and dark, it has always been a contrasting literary symbol.

Darkness and light have been used as symbols of world literature in human history, from the holy proclamation of "letting light exist" in the first book of the Bible to stifling the loss of contemporary literature. The darkness and light in the classical model typically represent two opposing forces of nature, good and evil, knowledge and ignorance, love and hate, or happiness and hopelessness.

I recently read the Phantammeron Book "The Meaning of Shadow" Posted in I was Darkly Dreaming on March 3rd, 2012. From ancient religions to modern trends, the writer analyzed the different aspects of darkness: In modern Western culture, we see a deeper meaning of light and darkness. We people see embrace of "dark things" ... black clothes, anti-cultural tattoos, subversive art and music, creatures' images, and imaginary stories and movies with the evil protagonists. From music to movies to clothing and even religious movements, we always see the shadow and dark embrace.

Finally, I ended my article by using the principle of "line-of-sight" light reflections: "For light and shadow understanding, this is based on how deep we want to go.
