Many of you are reluctant to delve into your shadow aspects because you are afraid of what you will find. Let us put your mind at rest. All aspects of you are beloved and divine, they are just in different stages of knowing their truth. They are lost, confused, sad, hurt, or ashamed. They may even be trying to protect you from what they perceive to be their badness.
Dear Ones, any aspect of yourself that holds itself separate from the whole isn’t evil, it has just forgotten the light it truly is and doubts that it is good enough to be accepted into the greater divine light that you represent. And the beautiful thing about all of this is your acknowledgement along with your love, compassion, and acceptance is all it needs to let go of that old story and reintegrate. This is the joy of coming Home to yourself. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
