Is my shadow my soul? Or is my soul my shadow? Both come with me. Why would they be separate? Can my soul live also in my shadow? Can my shadow hide my soul? Shadow in the sun, indicates fun. Shadows in the dark always give rise to fright. Is my shadow the duality of my soul? My inner struggle with bad and good?
A shadow is where direct light cannot reach due to obstruction by an object. This I know. Is the obstruction my soul? The soul, in many religious, philosophical, psychological, and mythological traditions, is the incorporeal and, the immortal essence of a person or living thing. So what is the shadow? The dark part of our souls? Or, as many would have it a scientific result. Soul = object of spirituality Shadow= result of science
The ancient Greeks believed air, as opposed to solid earth, to be incorporeal. Ancient Persians believed fire to be incorporeal in that every soul was said to be produced from it. We humans are mostly water. We humans live on earth. Each of the four elements manifests in us. Our shadows and souls must therefore, relate to human activity on the principle of "as above, so below" My shadow and soul are me
