Giving a Face to Demons and Angels

Find the places where your vision is clearest; that feeling you get when you are standing at the top of a mountain, or in a place of untouchable stillness and peace. Seek out the places, the environments, that give you a sense of being reset. Identify the places in your life that are places of clarity and timelessness. Share these locations with others who you think may benefit from them.

While in one of these places, allow the ghosts of you, the negative self images of yourself that have been suppressed to come out and exist separately from you. Create portraits of them, written descriptions, theatrical imitations, or any kind of a representation that allows you to view them as being separate from who you really are. At the same time, create portraits of the positive self images that you have suppressed. Again, display them in a way that allows you to see them objectively, as being separate from who you really are. Allow these angels and demons their autonomy: the freedom to leave you and exist in their own worlds.
