"You have noticed that the truth comes into this world with two faces.  One is sad with suffering, and the other laughs; but it is the same face, laughing or weeping.  When people are already in despair, maybe the laughing face is better for them; and when they feel too good and are too sure of being safe, maybe the weeping face is better for them to see."  -Black Elk

  1. Both Black Elk & Carl Jung understood that, unlike the protective instinct of selective denial, non-judgmental observation allows us to face, and therefore examine, the darkness as well as the light, the 'negativity' alongside the 'positive'.

    "It's ALL good." - Billy Holiday, 1945 (i.e. Just go with the flow man...).
    "It's all GOOD." - M.C. Hammer, 1995 (i.e. More is better!).
