The Shadow Effect

I applaud and support nearby Sonora, Mexico's posters showing Mexican soldiers and Federal police with binoculars watching Arizona citizens with the caption, 'Arizona, we are watching YOU'.

Arizona police and storm troopers are alarmed and stating those posters appear to mark Arizona residents.

YES they certainly do. Did the Arizona storm troopers think they could harass and beat the hell out of Hispanic people and not have Mexico take a very dim view of their sudden lack of humanity?

Frankly, the poster denotes white Arizona citizens that venture into Mexico can expect brutal and harsh treatment at the hands of the Mexican soldiers, Federal troops and Mexican people.

That is what the Republican and Tea Potty lawmakers wanted wasn't it?

While the considerable diplomatic skills of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appears to have settled down South Korea's response to North Korea allegedly firing a torpedo at a South Korean warship, sinking it and killing several sailors, South Korea has moved to a psychological war response.

Despite repeated North Korean warnings, South Korea has begun broadcasting defection propaganda thru speakers, radio stations and bill boards mounted on the massive border crossing.

North Korea has specifically stated they would fire their artillery at any border crossings that have speakers blasting defection propaganda from. Obviously with the sudden drop in the North Korean currency and the Asian Stock Markets, this is seen across the Orient as a serious development.

It is entirely likely North Korea will fire their artillery on border crossings that have active speakers promoting North Korean civilians to defect to South Korea. China is urging patience, however thanks to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, South Korea has time on her side.

Will North Korea blink, or open up with her artillery at the billboards and speakers on the border crossings promoting defection to South Korea? Many Millions of civilians residing in Seoul, South Korea are within range of North Korean artillery batteries. If North Korea open's up with selected artillery barrages, this razor edge stalemate could almost immediately escalate.

I wonder why China is sounding confident that peace will continue?

We human being like to learn by suffering first. Why are we like that, I do not know! I still do not understand!
But, I suppose we have chosen to experience who we are that way!

Indeed the shadow could become the guide that help us to discover our true self as long as we are not alienated to it.

N.

What you call "SHADOW"!!! I call it "EVIL"!!! When bad people win "A LOT" The "GOOD" alway's get's shoved aside!!! We are tired of it, We need to try to do better so the children can learn from this!!! They aren't!!! Parent's don't teach!!! School's don't teach!!! We are a bunch of fool's!!! USA is the way!!!

I just brought the book today and it has already given me food for thought.........Really look forward to what I am going to learn........

what is playing out on the Korean peninsula is serious but we Americans inundated with un-ending worries of our own & troubled by choppy waters rocking our boat would rather not see beyond our borders.Perhaps at times only to squint our eyes trying to see what the propagandists want us to see in Iraq or Afghanistan.
@Smith in Oregon. Whats going on on the US-Mexico border is just the ripple effect of Arizonian mischief.What goes around comes around.
There is analogy also to this.We wage wars in far flung regions & then wring our hands in exasperation & anger when the population in those regions hate us. Oh! Our innocence!

Debbie, As mentioned to you at the NYC book launch event, you are helping to change the world one person at a time. Kudos to you, Deepak and Marianne for bringing this more prominently into the Light, letting us see into our own darkness. We are all so often our own worst enemies, destroying with our own hands what we love, cherish, keeping love at bay. I see this with the clients I coach and many people I love. I have been captive to the Shadow as well. Thank you, thank you for the work you do in this world, teaching us to see and love ourselves and others in our totality. Only then is healing possible for each one of us and the world. Much love, Me

How many people have read the 10-page Arizona law? Not the administration officials who condemned it and threatened to take it to court – this, in spite of failing to fulfill their responsibility to protect the borders of AZ, with 500,000 illegal immigrants, many of whom are fine people but unfortunately many of whom are also criminals. Crime is skyrocketing in AZ. Phoenix is the kidnapping capitol of America. Drug violence is bleeding north into their state – all due to illegal aliens who are also violent criminals. The AZ law is basically the federal law written on a state level because the feds are not doing their job. How many have compared the AZ law to Mexico's anti-immigration law? The AZ law simply states that if someone is stopped for suspicion of crime or a traffic violation, they can be asked for their immigration status. It specifically states that no one can be stopped without cause. If they are illegal, what is the result? – they are turned over to the border patrol. Compare that to the severe (and racist by our standards) Mexican anti-immigration law, which includes imprisonment for much less offense than what those in AZ have been tolerating for far too long. But where are the complaints about the grotesque, harsh Mexican anti-immigration law? The reasonable AZ action has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with protection against crime. Citizens of Arizona, most of America is with you. We understand your desperate situation, empathize, and stand with you. You have tolerated skyrocketing crime, intimidation, bleed-over drug violence, and kidnapping fears without the rest of the country giving a flip. Now ignorant voices of political correctness gone awry chastise your efforts to deal with the failure of the federal government to protect your borders. Perhaps all those who are complaining about your law should take the criminal and drug elements of the illegal aliens from your airports, schools, back yards, and front lawns into their own.

It would be wonderful if high schools could introduce the study of Debbie Ford's book, The Shadow Effect. It could give teenagers an insight into what triggers their behaviour and become aware of creating a future for themselves of peace and joy.

It would be wonderful if high schools could introduce the study of Genesis 3 and Romans 7. It could give teenagers an insight into what triggers their behaviour and how to create a future for themselves of peace and joy.

Most often China is the precipitating factor in negotiations between the DPRK and South Korea. If you notice, North Korea has stopped underground nuclear testing. That is because China said "enough" Neither South Korea or the DPRK want to argue with China. Only 225 miles between Pyongyang (capitol of DPRK) and Dalian, China. Only 280 miles between Seoul and Qingdao, China. You can hear the Chinese Air Force fighter aircraft patrol up and down the coast of China every day. China has many underground military bases most nuclear that are less than 225 miles from the capitol of the DPRK.

These are probably some of the reasons China is confident there will be no full scale war between the two countries.

Interesting This Shadow Effect theory. I think I can go along with some of it, but not all of it. Does give one food for thought though.

Another description for it could be called dealing with your inner demons and self-sabotage or our dark side.

DrMark: I am a Mexican-American who wonders where were you when my American born and legal American cousin was almost deported to Mexico? What many Americans who are not Latin American fail to see and understand is that Law Enfocement in the USA is done by humans. Some of those humans do not care if you are here legally or illegally – they want you out of this country and their areas. Some of those Law Enforcement persons will go with any excuse to try to deport you. Tell me, do you carry papers that prove you are here legally and are an American. Most Latin Americans have to carry papers because Law Enforcement is sometimes to ready to throw you out of the country first and investigage later. And for your information this almost happened to my cousin in the 1970s. So this is not new to us. We know exactly what we need to worry about as citizens in this country. First walk a mile in my shoes. Then talk. There is nothing reasonable about the AZ law – nothing at all. And if you are going to throw stones please study your history. Americans invaded Mexico during the 1800s and 1900s. And in the 1930s many legal Americans of Mexican descent were forcibly deported to Mexico who had never even visited Mexico before they were deported there. So please study your history and then speak out.

larry tell them BP that they could put liued nitrogen down that hole in the golf and plug it up now.

I've been with Debbie Ford from the very beginning since 1995, I did the first Shadow Process Weekend. Previously I did other things, but when I got to the shadow process it all made sense to me.
So when Debbie decided to form The Ford Institute of Integrative Coaching, there I was first or almost first in line. I wanted to get this work out into the world. It's been almost 10 years and Boy O Boy It's So Exciting to see all the transformation and healings that are going on in this world. Get The Shadow Effect and give it out as a gift, it'll be the best gift that you can gift to someone else.
With Much love

geez what dribble
