What happens when shadow meets shadow? In this episode of Facing the Mirror, Christina dives into the archetypal story of Lilith and Lucifer — not as demons, but as reflections of our own repressed power, desire, and defiance. This isn’t about evil; it’s about evolution.

Through a transpersonal lens, Christina unpacks how the myth of their union represents the sacred marriage between our light and our darkness — the inner rebellion that awakens when we stop seeking external validation and start embracing self-sovereignty. You’ll explore themes of divine duality, ego death, and the seductive pull of liberation versus illusion.

This episode challenges you to ask:
🔥 What parts of me have I demonized to stay “good”?
🔥 Am I rejecting what actually makes me whole?
🔥 What happens when I meet my own darkness — and choose to love it?

Listen with an open heart. Reflect with an unflinching mind.
Because the real “dark union” isn’t between Lilith and Lucifer — it’s the one within you.

I received a lot of feedback and yes! there was another episode recorded for this.

By popular demand - here is that other recording

Long before Eve, there was Lilith.

Created from the same dust as Adam, she was his equal — not his rib, not his shadow. But when Adam demanded her submission, Lilith refused. She spoke the secret name of God and chose exile over silence.

In this episode of Between Light and Shadow: Stories of God, Creation, and Us, Christina Stuller of Tranquil Balance uncovers the mystery of Lilith — the first woman erased, demonized, and misunderstood. Was she a demoness? A goddess? A symbol of rebellion? Or the shadow of feminine power we’re still trying to reconcile today?

We’ll explore:

• Lilith’s exile from Eden and why she became legend.

• How her story mirrors the parts of ourselves that we silence or abandon.

• The danger — and necessity — of rebellion when faced with oppression.

• Why Lilith remains a powerful archetype in shadow work, psychology, and spirituality.

💡 In this episode you’ll reflect on:

• Where in your life you’ve been told you were “too much.”

• What parts of yourself you’ve exiled to stay accepted or safe.

• How reclaiming your inner Lilith can bring power, voice, and healing.

✨ Reflection Prompts:

1. What truths have I silenced in order to keep peace?

2. Where am I ready to reclaim the power I once abandoned?

3. If Lilith is the shadow self, what does she have to teach me?

Lilith’s story is not just ancient myth. It’s the story of every voice that refuses to be silenced. It’s the shadow feminine in each of us, waiting not to destroy us — but to make us whole.

When pride rose in heaven and Lucifer led a rebellion, one angel stood firm. His name was Michael. His very name means “Who is like God?” — a declaration that no created being could rival the Creator.

In this episode of Between Light and Shadow: Stories of God, Creation, and Us, Christina Stuller of Tranquil Balance brings you the story of Michael — the angel who drew his sword not for glory, not for power, but for truth.

We’ll explore:

• Michael’s role as heaven’s protector and warrior.

• How his loyalty stood in stark contrast to Lucifer’s pride.

• Why true strength comes not from ambition, but from faithfulness.

• How Michael’s story mirrors our own struggles to stand firm when compromise feels easier.

💡 In this episode you’ll reflect on:

• Where in your life you’re being called to stand firm, even when it costs you.

• What it means to fight for truth instead of recognition.

• How courage looks different from pride and why obedience is its own kind of strength.

✨ Reflection Prompts:

1. Where am I tempted to go along with the crowd instead of staying true to my values?

2. What would it look like for me to pick up Michael’s sword — not literally, but spiritually — and defend what matters?

3. How do I define strength: recognition, or faithfulness?

Michael’s story reminds us: strength is not found in being followed, admired, or adored. Strength is found in standing with truth even if you stand alone.

⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode is raw and authentic. The editing may not be perfect, and you may notice a few rough edges in the audio. But that’s the point because just like shadow work, these conversations aren’t about polish, they’re about truth. Thank you for listening with grace as the stories and lessons take center stage.

The Morning Star – Lucifer’s Rise and Fall

What does it take to fall from grace?

How do you go from being the most radiant, the most gifted, the most beloved… to becoming the most rejected?

In this first episode of Between Light and Shadow: Stories of God, Creation, and Us, Christina Stuller of Tranquil Balance takes you into one of the most haunting and powerful stories ever told: the rise and fall of Lucifer, the Morning Star.

Once considered God’s favorite angel, Lucifer was clothed in beauty, adorned in wisdom, and called the light-bringer. But pride whispered in his heart. Instead of reflecting divine light, he wanted to become the source of it. What began as ambition turned into rebellion. And rebellion led to war in heaven.

You’ll hear the story of Lucifer’s fall as told through scripture, Jewish mysticism, and spiritual folklore — and more importantly, you’ll discover why this story still matters today. Because Lucifer isn’t just a figure from ancient myth. He’s the archetype of pride, of ego, of the temptation every human being faces to believe, “I don’t need to reflect the light. I am the light.”

This episode blends dramatic storytelling with psychology, theology, and shadow work to reveal the truth behind the myth:

• The beauty and brilliance of Lucifer before the fall

• How pride grows quietly until it poisons everything

• The cosmic battle between ego and humility

• Why Lucifer’s story is a mirror for our own struggles with control, recognition, and power

Christina doesn’t sugarcoat. She guides you to see how these ancient stories are really about us — about our own shadows, our own downfalls, and our own chance for redemption.

💡 In this episode you’ll reflect on:

• Where pride may be hiding in your own life

• How ego sabotages gifts and relationships

• Why humility is strength, not weakness

• How to recognize the “Lucifer moment” in yourself before it leads to destruction

✨ Reflection Prompts:

1. Think of a time when your gifts became heavy. How did pride twist them?

2. Where in your life do you feel entitled — and how is that entitlement holding you back?

3. What relationships have suffered because of pride?

4. If you are a mirror, whose light are you reflecting right now?

Whether you see Lucifer as a fallen angel, an archetype of ego, or a myth meant to warn humanity, his story has endured because it forces us to look at ourselves.

Because in the end, the Morning Star’s fall is not just about him.
It’s about us.
