The charlatan - the archetype of the Shadow

January 29th. The morning is grey, the color of an unuttered sorrow, and the light enters the room timidly, as if afraid to disturb the silence of my shipwreck. Here, in this empty space between a "before" and an uncertain "now," I attempt to arrange the debris of myself. When a person is deceived, they do not merely lose means; they lose the very architecture of their trust. The world, until then predictable and welcoming, suddenly shatters into jagged pieces that cut deep into the softest parts of the soul. The money... it was never just numbers. It was preserved time. It was hours of fatigue, of absence from my own life, of small deprivations that accumulated like grains of sand in the hourglass of my security. Every coin was a fragment of my effort, of my sleep, of my hope for a future where I would not be vulnerable. And when someone takes them with the ease of a charlatan, they do not steal currency—they steal a piece of my past and a vast portion of my peace...

I stopped looking for the light. Decided to become it instead

 "I stopped looking for the light. Decided to become it instead." These words speak to a powerful shift in mindset, from one of passive searching to active creation.

When we are searching for something outside of ourselves, whether it be #love, #happiness, #success, or even #enlightenment, we can feel as if we are constantly chasing after something that is just out of reach. We may find ourselves feeling #frustrated, #disappointed, and even #hopeless.

But what if we could turn that search inward, and realize that we have the #power to create the very thing we are seeking? What if we could become the light we have been searching for?

This #shiftinperspective requires a #willingness to take #responsibility for our own lives and our own happiness. It requires us to stop looking for #externalvalidation or #approval and instead to cultivate a deep sense of #selfworth and #selflove.

When we become the #light, we radiate positivity, love, and #compassion. We #inspire others to do the same and create a ripple effect of positivity in the world. By choosing to embody the qualities we wish to see in the world, we become a force for #change and #transformation.

So, if you find yourself feeling lost or searching for something outside of yourself, remember that the light you seek is within you. It is up to you to cultivate it, nurture it, and share it with the world. Choose to become the light and watch as your life and the world around you transforms.
