The translation of the book was very good. The translator of the version I read was Abdullah Salahi.

I must say that the book, in my opinion, had many correct conversations. That is, it could be seen in the real world as well, and that nothing will change until a person decides to change himself. When a serious emotional event or problem occurs in adulthood, usually doctors look for the root of it in the past and the events of a person's childhood. Something that is taught in the book under the title of projecting a person's problems onto others. We don't want to believe something within ourselves and we try to get rid of it by attributing it to others, and we think that the louder our voice is in this regard, the more right we have, when in fact it is the opposite!

However, the problem I had with the book was that it repeated a lot. That is, in my opinion, it could avoid repeating all these things about a series of problems and express them much more simply or give an example and move on. This repetition can be tiring when you are reading a book deeply. Even if you say that it is saying the same thing with several different expressions, it doesn't make a difference in getting its intended meaning across!

There are a few sentences that I would have liked to write more, such as:

Deepak Chopra: "Not judging brings peace of mind."

God tells us: "If you don't go within, you will have nothing."

A part of Gandhi's words: "........... What value does faith have if it is not put into action?"

A summary of one of its sentences: When we insult someone, if we want to be very honest with ourselves, in fact, we have insulted ourselves, not that person! Amazing but true!

In the book "The Dark Side of the Moon", Debbie Ford teaches us the ways to progress step by step towards transformation and wholeness.

She teaches us to recognize, accept, and love all the good and bad aspects of ourselves and everything that we perceive as ugly, beautiful, mottled, or pure.

In each chapter of the book, there are exercises designed to achieve this wholeness.

The book provides valuable insights and practical tools for personal growth and self-discovery.

It encourages readers to embrace their shadow selves and integrate them into their conscious awareness.

By doing so, we can achieve a greater sense of inner peace and authenticity.

If you are interested in exploring the depths of your being and achieving a more fulfilling life, this book is definitely worth a read.

*The Danger of Spoilage*

It is truly one of the very good books that I have read so far. This book talks about projection. The projections that we make towards others throughout our lives and projection is one of the most hidden characteristics of humanity. In such a way that if there was no projection, neither we nor even those around us would be aware of our hidden characteristics. So we should be grateful for this feature.

The judgments that we have in our minds towards others, if you want to be honest, most of them and even all of them are the projections that we make towards others. The filth and rudeness that we give to others. The sensitivity to the behaviors that we see from others. And even the compliments and descriptions that we make of others, of course, I mean all those that come from the heart and from within us and not the external behaviors. These are the signs of our projections.

I admit that throughout my life I have been strange and disgusted with many people and one of the reasons why I had a strong inclination towards reading books was to stay away from people. But now I have understood that many of these cases have been my own projections. Accepting this fact is not an easy task.

For example, when we become strange to the sadness of those around us and we find a great sensitivity to it, it may be a sign of our projection. In the same way, the creation and the world of existence put exactly the same type of people more in our way so that we can learn the lesson of curing that characteristic within ourselves. But since we do not learn the lesson and show more sensitivity, those same people and the problems of our depth increase.

Also, this author emphasizes that man is a collection of negative and positive characteristics. But throughout our lives, we have learned from the emphasis of our parents, society, and so on, to suppress a part of our existence. And this suppression not only does not eliminate that characteristic but also gives more power to it. Like anger that we have learned to suppress and this suppression has caused the anger within us to become greater. So we should accept ourselves with all our characteristics, whether negative like sadness and anger and... or positive like love and affection and... and give ourselves the opportunity to express them within. Of course, I admit that I myself have not been able to completely do this.

Another part of the book is about the relationship between man and the inner voice and creation... The broken relationship of many of us with our inner voice has caused us to be blind and full of mistakes on the path of life. But our inner voice or the inner angel and the inner teacher... always shows us the right path. But by moving away from it, we have become empty in our lives... This book and similar books that I have read emphasize on the relationship with our inner self and paying attention to the messages of creation in order to find the path, whether in the spiritual or professional path... And if we get close to the destination, our best guide is our inner voice. I have written these topics because I felt that many people who are addicted to reading books or in other words, bookworms, may have such concerns in their lives.

Good sentences from this book:

"In every drop of the ocean is hidden and in every cell of the body, the sense of the whole is present."

"We choose to forget our existence and then we remember that we have forgotten ourselves."

"We are afraid of ourselves. We are afraid of our passionate thoughts and feelings. Mostly we have no connection with this fear, but we can see its reflection. Usually, we attribute it to the world of those around us and strangers. This fear is so deep that to deal with it, we deny or hide it and with our laughter, we make ourselves and others look stupid. We become so skilled in this that we really forget that we have put on a mask to hide our true identity."

"The world is like a mirror that shows us what is inside us. When we can accept and forgive ourselves, we automatically accept and forgive others. Learning this lesson was not easy for me."

"Thirteen years ago, I woke up on a cold marble floor of the bathroom. My body hurt and my breath smelled bad. Another of those wonderful nights and drugs and of course the state of hangover after that."

"When I was able to stand up and look in the mirror. I understood that I can no longer continue in this way. I was twenty-eight years old and still waiting for someone to help me. But that morning I understood that no one will come. Neither my mother nor my father nor the prince of my dreams with his white horse."

"Creation always guides us in a direction that we face our wholeness. We attract whatever or whoever reflects the forgotten special characteristics in our existence."

"Use others as a mirror to help you decrypt your existence."

"If there is an aspect within us that we have not yet accepted, throughout our lives we will always face people who will have the same negative characteristics. Creation is constantly trying to make us understand who we really are and wants to help us to become whole again."

"In any case, if a person especially in his life appears prosperous in order, there is a special reason for it!"

"Turn the pains and sufferings of your soul into wisdom. Instead of getting angry at your heart. Learn from them."

"When we make peace with our past, the process of retrieving our projections will be easier."

"Mercy and compassion for ourselves is a necessary thing and if it does not exist, fear and hatred of ourselves will overcome us. And since having hatred for ourselves is very difficult and unbearable, we project this hatred onto the world. We prefer to be the victim of the world rather than the victim of ourselves. And by blaming the world, we can avoid facing ourselves."

"The world without content, like a mirror, reflects you back to yourself. If you pour love into yourself and respect yourself, this behavior will also be manifested in your outer life. If you are more in love, pour more love into yourself. If you want to be accepted, accept yourself. I promise you that if you pour love into yourself from the bottom of your heart and respect yourself, you will receive the same love and respect from creation."

"Without commitment to creation, we cannot recognize the events that we need to know our desires. Unfortunately, most of us do not have a commitment to what we really want. We just stretch out in bed every night and pray that our life will be better, we will have a healthy body and a better job. But with this, nothing will change. In fact, we have lied to ourselves. There is a big difference between what we pray for and what we are committed to."

"Don't be afraid that you don't know what you want. Just simply make a commitment to yourself that with all your abilities and talents, you will improve your life."

"There is a beautiful example that says when the student is ready, the teacher will appear."

"We are forced to make peace with all the beliefs and convictions that prevent us from achieving our dreams. I call these hidden commitments because they are the agreements that we make with ourselves that prevent us from reaching our true goal. Whether you decide to pursue your dreams or not, the important thing is to ask what is the main motivation for you and in the same way, what has blocked the path of your heart's desires. If we do not ask these questions, we have sold our lives very cheaply."

"You should know that some of your desires have originated from your brain, not from your heart. Your brain may deceive you into believing that you want things that are better and more than what you have had before. You should know the desires that originate from your soul and replace them with the desires of your heart."

"The meaning of having a purpose or goal is that nothing in this world is in vain. Each of us has come to this world with a unique perspective and a set of abilities."

The color yellow is extremely vibrant and eye-catching. It has a certain charm that can instantly draw people's attention.

Yellow is often associated with sunshine, bringing a sense of warmth and cheerfulness. It can brighten up a room or a landscape, making everything seem more alive and full of energy.

In nature, we can see the beauty of yellow in various forms, such as the golden rays of the sun, the yellow flowers blooming in spring, and the yellow leaves in autumn.

In art and design, yellow is also widely used. It can be combined with other colors to create different effects and moods. Whether it is used as a dominant color or as an accent, yellow always manages to make a statement.

Overall, yellow is a color that has a powerful impact and can add a touch of magic to any situation.

عالیة is really amazing.

At the same time, I was listening to the podcast "Zendan Sharme" by Dr. Morteza Shokri along with this book. Their paths are in the same direction and how much they helped me to recognize the shadows of my existence and make peace with them. As a result, I not only don't judge myself anymore but also others. Because judging others actually stems from a person's self-judgment. How much the presence of such books in all the days of life is necessary. When a person re-enters the world of Pertkapo and quickly forgets, he needs to be reminded.

How good a person's situation is when he gets to know himself more and more and more.

Some of us not only carry our own past, but also the past of our parents. Pain is passed from generation to generation, and until we examine it, we will never break this cycle.

The above sentence is from page 137 of the book and can be considered one of the best pages of this book. Overall, as stated in the preface and definition by the translator, the book is not unique and very special, and as mentioned, it had no remarkable effect on me personally. I also tried very hard to read it carefully and complete the exercises. Mrs. Ford's examples in the book mostly reminded me of satellite advertisements, which say that if you buy this, your life will completely change, but when you buy it, you see that it is not very special and unique either. However, the book is not without its positive points and special sentences, and it can create a positive mental atmosphere on some of its pages and chapters.

This book seems to offer a complex perspective on various aspects. While it may not have had a profound personal impact on the translator, it still contains elements that can have a positive influence in certain contexts. The examples provided, although sometimes reminiscent of exaggerated advertisements, also serve to illustrate certain ideas. It is important to approach the book with an open mind and consider both its strengths and weaknesses.

Stretch out your hand and point at someone with your finger. You will see that one of your fingers is pointing at that person, but the other three fingers are pointing back at yourself. This is a good reminder for us to know that whenever we point out something in others, in fact, we are also denying that feature in ourselves.

We often tend to be quick to judge and criticize others, without realizing that we may have the same flaws or shortcomings. By being aware of this simple gesture and its underlying meaning, we can become more self-reflective and less judgmental. Instead of focusing on the faults of others, we can turn our attention inward and work on improving ourselves.

This doesn't mean that we should never give feedback or offer constructive criticism. However, when we do so, we should do it with kindness and empathy, and be mindful of our own actions and behaviors. By treating others with respect and understanding, we can build better relationships and create a more harmonious and positive environment.

At the beginning, I was very committed to myself that I would complete its exercises. For this reason, it took a long time to read it and it was very difficult because I realized something about myself that I had been trying to deny for a long time.

In general, in my opinion, the size of several psychotherapy sessions can be useful.

It is important to note that self-awareness and commitment are crucial in the process of personal growth and development. By facing our inner selves and being honest with ourselves, we can begin to make positive changes and move forward in our lives.

Psychotherapy can provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. It can help them gain a better understanding of themselves and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

However, it is important to remember that psychotherapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each person's needs and experiences are unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. Therefore, it is essential to find a qualified and experienced psychotherapist who can tailor the treatment to the individual's specific needs.

Though in certain aspects it may seem extremely New Agey, DARK SIDE is, in fact, a highly practical guide to shadow-based self-therapy.

I vividly recall obtaining my very first copy from a lover towards the conclusion of our relationship. It was a moment that left a lasting impression on me.

Since then, I have found this book to be so valuable that I have given away more copies than I can accurately remember.

It has become a sort of mission for me to share this practical guide with as many people as possible.

The insights and techniques presented in DARK SIDE have the potential to transform one's self-awareness and lead to profound personal growth.

Whether you are new to the concept of shadow work or have been exploring it for some time, this book offers practical advice and exercises that can be easily incorporated into your daily life.

Overall, DARK SIDE is a must-read for anyone interested in delving deeper into the realm of self-therapy and uncovering the hidden aspects of themselves.

They have taught us that fulfilling our desires is a very difficult task. It is possible that we do not understand that what is even harder than that is that the days and nights pass one after another, and we live with the perception that we cannot reach them.

We often find ourselves in a situation where our dreams seem out of reach. The path to achieving them is filled with obstacles and challenges. We may feel discouraged and lose hope along the way.

However, we should not give up easily. Instead, we should keep working hard and persevere. We need to believe in ourselves and our abilities. With determination and effort, we can overcome the difficulties and move closer to fulfilling our desires.

Remember, every step counts, and even small progress is better than no progress at all. So, let's not be afraid of the hard work ahead and keep striving towards our goals.

The first book that I gave up reading halfway. In my opinion, it has no reading value at all, and the content mentioned in it has no scientific basis at all.

The author in the book sometimes tells you to stand in front of the mirror and say to yourself "I am...". And in the place of the ellipsis, you should mention all kinds of bad qualities that you don't like!!! A person who doesn't even have that bad quality will be afflicted with that quality by doing this.

It was very bitter.

I really don't understand why some people would write such a book. It not only fails to bring any positive inspiration or knowledge, but also seems to have some negative effects. Maybe everyone has different tastes in books, but for me, this book is really a waste of time.

I hope that in the future, I can encounter more excellent books that can really enrich my mind and improve my quality.

Some parts of this book are about projection, which means that any trait we attribute to others, we must have it ourselves. Otherwise, we wouldn't have noticed it at all. In another place, this book delves into the topic of the shadow self. Each of us has certain traits that, due to upbringing from childhood, we have hidden from others and labeled them negatively. However, hiding these traits can cause anger within us and drain our physical energy, preventing these traits from manifesting in others as well. This book also has some interesting exercises that I had never done before.
