More From Frederick William Robertson

I thought the most beautiful thing in the world must be shadow, the million moving shapes and cul-de-sacs of shadow. there was shadow in bureau drawers and closets and suitcases, and shadow under houses and trees and stones, and shadow at the back of people's eyes and smiles, and shadow, miles and miles and miles of it, on the night side of the earth.

To one degree or another we all struggle with selfishness. since it is so common, why worry about selfishness anyway? because selfishness is really self-destruction in slow motion. no wonder the prophet joseph smith urged, "let every selfish feeling be not only buried, but annihilated" (teachings of the prophet joseph smith, p. 178). hence annihilation - not moderation - is the destination! . . . meekness is the real cure, for it does not merely mask selfishness but dissolves it!
Selfish Real Struggle
There was a man that hated his footprints and his shadow, so one day he thought that if he ran fast enough, his footprints and shadow would not be able to follow him and then he never ever had to look at them again. he ran and he ran as fast as he could, but the shadow and the footprints had no problems keeping up to him. and he ran even faster and all of a sudden he fell dead to the ground. but if he been standing still there hadn't been any footprints and if he had been resting under a tree his shadow had been swallowed of the trees shadow.

Gaily bedight, a gallant knight, in sunshine and in shadow, had journeyed long, singing a song, in search of eldorado. but he grew old— this knight so bold— and o’er his heart a shadow— fell as he found no spot of ground that looked like eldorado. and, as his strength failed him at length, he met a pilgrim shadow— ‘shadow,’ said he, ‘where can it be— this land of eldorado?’ ‘over the mountains of the moon, down the valley of the shadow, ride, boldly ride,’ the shade replied,— ‘if you seek for eldorado!
Strength Song Failure
Jung first gave us the term ‘shadow’ to refer to those parts of our personality that have been rejected out of fear, ignorance, shame, or lack of love. his basic notion of the shadow was simple: ‘the shadow is the person you would rather not be.’ he believed that integrating the shadow would have a profound impact, enabling us to rediscover a deeper source of our own spiritual life. ‘to do this,’ jung said, ‘we are obliged to struggle with evil, confront the shadow, to integrate the devil. there is no other choice.’

Spiritual Technology Balance
We must be able to appreciate and enjoy the places where we tarry and yet pass on without anguish when we are called elsewhere. in our spiritual development we are often required to pull up roots many times and to close many chapters in our lives until we are no longer attached to any material thing and can love all people without any attachment to them.
