    Hi Audiobook Scriblers: This audiobook written adn read by the authors: Chopra, Ford, and Williamson, 3 of the New Age Spiritual Gurus so to speak (nice comforting voices btw)... who capitalize (because they can, their dark side :) using their God given talents and energies of the written and spoken word to reveal and point to a spiritual aspect of human beings: OUR Dark side or Shadow...
    The audiobook is nicely divided into 3 chapters with each author providing their view of "The Shadow". I found the audiobook captivating to listen to... and packed full of deep insight and ways of perceiving and accepting My Dark Side that I had not considered...The simple understanding that I took away from this audiobook: It is OKAY to have / be a Dark side or shadow self... It is part of who I project at times, part of my mask, my delusion, my "devil" self....but that which I , at my core consciousness am not. The audiobook made me aware or rather reminded me: It is necessary but not sufficient that I am mindful of this dark side. That I am mindful of my behavior and actions that stem from that side of me/my mask....Tool: Meditation.

    All three authors give their perspective or flavor to their understanding of the Shadow.

    Chapter 1-2-3: Chopra Shadow 101 The basics, Ford Shadow 102, Williamson Shadow Post Doc 103 (a little more complex and gobly goo for me... but this audio book is worth a couple or more listens... Williamson's chapter definitely. They are all equally revealing chapters and provide reinforcement and perspective on our Shadow Side.... I would recommend this reading for anyone who struggles with self pity, repetitive bad consequences of our actions that we are not learning from or simply anyone currently suffering and in psychic pain for whatever reason.... there is a thread of darkness there. A wonderful tool for spiritual awakening and self reflection: Namaste

    Wow. I've been following Deepak since the beginning of my adult spiritual journey and fell in love with Marianne's book A Return to Love some years ago. This book recaptured for me lessons lost over time and reawakened something in me. This book definitely is soul stirring and I will re-listen many more times to fully integrate the deepest and most profound truths found in this book!

    Audio-The first 1/2 of the book with speakers- Deepak and Debbie was fantastic. They brought new ideas and made me think . I found myself having those pesky ah ha moments. Good for my whole being, and challenging the grey stuff between my ears. My 'shadow' has been influencing me, now that I understand it better maybe I can work with it. WE'll see, but a little self examination never hurts. The last speaker just did not do anything for me.

    The first chapter was so interesting and brought up a lot of good things to contemplate. The second chapter had a terribly bad effect on me. The third chapter was absolutely incredible and pack full of truth that resonated in my soul

    Thank you for this book, it showed me so much. I am most grateful for the book showing me that we all have a shadow! Nothing is wrong with me / you or anyone else... enlightening stuff contained within these pages - enjoy!
