Carl Jung and the Shadow: The Mechanics of Your Dark Side

Carl Jung was one of the most important psychologists of the previous century.

The notion of the shadow is central to the human condition and the ability to deal with it constitutes a challenging endeavor for most of us.

I hope that, by watching this video, shadow work reveal some important personal truths and that the process of assimilation will become less strenuous.

"What is better: to be born good or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?" - Paarthurnax

[judythomas]

Being a child whose early life was all trauma I created a person I had to play. I became a musician actress, singer, performer of course Later after the panic attacks, anxiety, depression began I was
Drawn to Carl Jung's work. It
helped me over time to finally
Understand all of myself including my shadow side and the continued rage I had. One of
the best things I realized was yes I am crazy and strange and
So much happier than ever. Having purged so much of the rage during a spiritual awakening now when my shadow side comes I understand it and know that I
Accept and love myself more
Than I ever have.

I looked into the face of madness and it was my own reflection. -- The Shadow Self

[MrCoolman]

Carl Jung was one of the few that was able to manifest the explanation of a higher self in an empirical manner. His works truly were an advancement in human consciousness; his works explain the idea of Buddhist dualism in a philosophical manner. Without light there can’t be darkness, & without darkness there can’t be light.

MY SHADOW! MY SHADOW! CHANGE IS COMING THROUGH MY SHADOW!

[davidmandziuk]

LIFE ISNT ALL SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS....The sooner we all recognize our dark side and know our boundaries, the better we will be able to cope and grow....Well done.

"What is the size of your shadow?"


Dude, that's a personal question!

[memyotherselvesi]

Every moment of every day. I question everything, externally as well as internally. I was a teenager before figuring out, quite painfully, most noone else does this. As lonely and challenging as my early life as been as a result, ultimately it has served me well and I am truly grateful for this journey I am on. Interestingly, the knowledge and wisdom of the great thinkers of our time (and before) found their way to me not the other way around. It's like my thoughts and questions drew me to engage in seemingly unrelated activities or people that somehow ended up connecting me to resources I wasn't specifically looking for. An example, my interest in Tarot..lead to an interest in symbolism and spirituality.Then seemingly unrelated, I eventually became interested in psychology..which l lead me to Jung, then back to Tarot.

Jung's concept of the shadow has been particularly eye-opening for me. It's easy to ignore or deny the darker aspects of ourselves, but Jung's work reminds us that these aspects are a part of us too. It's a challenging but important topic to explore, which is why I'm excited to delve deeper into it on my own channel.

If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.

Jesus from The Gospel of Thomas

We are often too scared to even look at our own reflection. We can't even imagine shattering the mirror which never existed

[johnbannon]

We get to the light via the dark. Making the unconscious, conscious, is hampered by many factors, mainly suppression, denial, and erroneous beliefs. Suppression polarizes the psyche, creating an inner schism that is reflected in our behaviour and symptoms. As what is in shadow is also the cosmic aspect of our being, intellect alone is not enough. The deeper mysteries require not simply a change in consciousness but in our way of being. To this extent, oneness is key. Oneness with self, others and the universe. Without a relationship to the divine, your full potential will remain elusive and unconscious.

[Madmen]

When one's idea of self is not congruent with how the world views or treats us, then we experience 'neurosis' et al.

We all need a sustainable ego, and we all construct illusions about the external world which protect us from being overwhelmed, and allow us to feel competent, important, strong.

That's profound: "We can't control what we don't understand."
