Ironic this comment is when you think about Light/Dark because most are happy that you created a surface level description of a video filled with much more words, thoughts & feelings gone into compared to your comment. The irony appears when you compare the idea that you just used a couple of words to express hundreds of thoughts & ideas from someone and people's perception of the video and it's steps are simple and brainless and could be described in a couple of sentences when in reality they are missing the depth of the video with emotions and body language, knowledge, etc. Much like a person shows a single action and most judge that individual based off of that single, and sometimes meaningless, action failing to truly see the depth and beauty behind every action, thought, & idea that comes from this person.

I get annoyed when i see others dumping their litter in nature... should i now also dump litter in nature to embrace this behaviour?

When I started personal development, I only focused on how I could be better, faster, more positive and focused. This resulted in a subconscious hatred everytime I felt something negative. Even though they were necessary, the first years of personal development, I think I actually became more unhappy. This pushed me to find other solutions to my deep 'problems'. When I discovered shadow work; everything changed. You don't want to go there, but its in the shadow (pain) liberation lives. Learn to accept and love your dark sides.

[@Jamesfckoffscammers]

"You don't want to go there" Yeah no kidding, cause when you do, you feel like you have a monster inside you waiting to come out... but it is a necessary part of us, in which the only thing for us to do, is to find our center of balance among both light and dark (Yin & Yan), without rejecting one side nor the other.

Hey Andrew I’ve been into Jung a lot for a while and I think you gave a really good introduction. Jung is a genius and underrated but his ideas can be very complicated. One thing though: the shadow side is NOT the dark or evil part of you or something like that. You can also repress very good personality traits. Also those “bad” things you repress have a great value, although not easy to see why exactly. Other than that, really amazing that you went so comprehensive and didn’t stop only at explaining the shadow but also going into how to deal with it. Very well articulated. I’m not sure if I missed you saying it, but this shadow work can take a veeeery long time. What you’re doing then is called Individuation.

[@NAHEKification]

happy to see someone in the comments pointing this, although I think you are too kind. Andrew does a big disservice to Jungs shadow concept. Would recommend anyone who saw this video and is interested in finding out more to search for The Diamond Net or Actualized's videos about shadow work. This video is sadly filled with misconceptions :(

[@Jamesfckoffscammers]

The dark side, what I noticed in my own experience of it, is also the side of you that has a backbone and doesn't allow people to walk on, nor disrespect you, etc. A side that comes out when angered (mine has came out plenty of times when dealing with bullies in school), and It is a side of you that allows you to overcome fear (have you ever been afraid while angry at the same time? Probably not). In which case, when thinking of the light or dark side, think of Yin & Yan (an equal balance of both, which is absolutely good to have that center of balance; not too nice but not too mean). All in all, the dark side is just as necessary as the lighter side, and they both have their own strengths and weaknesses.

[@zeuxisjay3721]

I know this is reduant to comment, but yes I have felt afraid while angry, commonely.

[@mikethehunter5212]

Yup. It's pretty well known in the study of psychology that Jung took much inspiration from Yin/Yang.

[@ianharrison5758]

I became painfully aware of my dark side over the last two years due to my pandemic. My childhood was the kind of bad that the majority of it was subconsciously repressed to the point where I forgot what my mother looked like. Through my addiction, I got to see the parts of me I wasn’t ready to understand, in the most visceral ways possible. As drugs and paranoia broke down the rock solid persona I had built, a lie I had told so well I hadn’t even realized was a lie. The way I saw things was merely me creating a powerful filter to make sure I was as likeable and amicable as possible because being non problematic is what saved my life many times as a child. In my core I am an Angry, sad and damaged individual. I see no meaning in life and after more of my persona crumbled I was finally able to break the chain that truly set me free. I realized that I am the product of two drug addicts on the fringes of society who never wanted children to begin with. I wasn’t even born with the simple meaning of being the child a family wanted. I had no reason to be born, so why should I need a reason to live? Why was I trying so hard to inject meaning into an accident? Realizing that the search for a meaning is it’s own set of chains is what allowed me to take them off entirely. It allowed me to set aside all my misgivings and learn to live the way I want to, and no other reason. I exist to exist, and im ok with that

I dream things i am so shocked of that i hide those things in my braun but at the same time i know it is true, that those violent scenes are a pleasure to my dark I.

I have no problem acknowledging that part of myself already. The part around the 9 minute mark shows to me that you don't really know what shadow work is...it has nothing to do with facing the dark side of yourself, it has to do with what parts of you haven't been acknowledged, whether that be "good" or "bad". Shadow work can be extremely emotional at times, so much so that you find yourself crying, but it's not always that way. I see a lot of people bring up shadow work all the time and explain it wrong...There is also the masculine (stoic) way to take care of the part you just found and acknowledged and there is the feminine way. One is with knowledge, the other is with love.

There's also another interesting view on shadow self in terms of cognitive functions. The view that when you're pushed into a corner, you are forced to use your less developed functions because your main functions have obviously failed. And obviously, you just don't know how to use those functions in a mature way. I remember there was a book with exercises for developing each cognitive function. But I've forgotten its name.

I kept waiting to hear things I didn't know, the things I didn't know was that it was invented by some guy and made official. I've been told I could be a good therapist or something similar before....I guess they might be right. Throughout the video I was like "I do that though." or "is that not normal for people think about constantly?". The "Shadow Work" that I learned about though has the same name but it's actually something dark in Wiccan culture. I don't go near that stuff for obvious reasons 😅. Any good Wiccan stays away from the dark side.

I love myself a thousand times over and a thousand times again. Besides my family, that’s the only person that I care about.

"If you're at an unstable part in your life , do not do this" Me, suffering from major depression, probably being forced to go to a mental hospital soon: "Nah, I'm good" ;) Jokes aside (tho it's not a joke sadly, lol): Thanks for your videos and this one in particular Andrew! Shadow work, the coming-to-terms-with-your"dark"-side, embracing it, forviging yourself and making the unconscious conscious is so so important! Great to see how this topic is growing popularity over the time- I read books about Jung's shadow work yeears ago and no one around me knew about it; so it's cool to see that it kinda explores a little more now on the Internet!

Been depressed for decades, now I'm out of it. One of my hardest periods developing right now, I'm still not depressed. Keep going my friend, you'll find your way out. EDIT: Horrible spelling mistakes.

[@rpcalee]

Wishing you the best, Fresh Mo! I've been in a similar place for much of my life, although no hospitalizations. Finally free! There is hope. Keep exploring and trust yourself :-)

[@freshmo5967]

Thanks so much to both of you for your kind and comforting words!

[@freshmo5967]

@@user-ln2kc7yn7v What exactly helped you out of your depression, can you even break it down to one /some specific things? I have huge respect and admiration for people who have been suffering from depression for so long! Can't imagine it man, I'm going nuts even now after roughly 1 and a half years. (Though I had an episode of depression some years ago with 18-19, it just wasn't dignosed)

[@brambes1804]

Be careful. There are a lot of parts your consciousness that are equally worthy to develop and can help you with your shadow. Always take responsibility and strive for moral excellence all the time. That is a lifes task. Life is about meaning not happiness.

[@alexandery8508]

I am daily positive and I would be looking forward to explore my darker half through shadow work.

[@meditatewithalyson4701]

Apologies if this is uncouth to mention in your comments, but I wanted to share that I created a shadow work meditation a few months ago for Insight Timer. It may be too goofy for you though because it dips into the metaphysical, but I just uploaded it to my channel if you'd like to give it a try. I am looking forward to trying your meditation when you release it!

[@Cybergirl]

I love shadow work, it reveals so much about ourselves and makes us grow ALOT!

[@neevedgooroodoyal3124]

Carl Jung has gained a lot of popularity during the last few years and i think it is mainly due to Dr Jordan P short videos.

[@nhmooytis7058]

My shadow is a cross between Michael Corleone and Caligula, luckily I’ve always been able to keep him on a short leash. Acknowledging this part of me exists is WHY it can’t take me over.

[@deimos351]

Edgy people religiously watch this video

[@saula526]

I think this is gonna be my favourite channel on KZbin ❤️ Thank you for all the information you provide!

[@paulsegers1880]

Are most people *not* able to "actively imagine" things in the way Jung described?

[@ARCAMARC]

Absolutely yes please release a guided meditation on shadow work !! Thank you kind Sir ! :)

[@power41tribe]

My work requires that I address these issues within others so I diligently seek out the darkness within myself to aide me in facilitating accurate and functional insight into others.

[@cesoveso704]

May the dark side be with me.

Yes

Good use your aggressive feelings boy let the hate flow through you

[@krutika6769]

how I can be thankful to you Andrew? You are just amazinggggggggg

[@irmawatifebriani8459]

After we discovered our dark side, then what next? I mean, how can i get advantage from embracing my dark side practicaly?

[@kashyapmehta7659]

When you discover your dark side and make good relation with it than you will improve following way. You stop hating people unnecessarily. You see for the reasons of hate and remove it from your personality. Your subconscious mind and behaviour will become stable and more stable subconsciousness means more easy and satisfying life. You will also able to see two sides of any situation other than only bright side projected by society.

[@claudiowangu]

The one KZbin channel i never skip ads,Kirby has given me so much about my life that nobody has ever done; opening my brain. Thanks Andrew 😭

[@A-Ls1]

This is the greatest video I’ve ever watched. I’ve only watched 2 minutes so far and it eclipses anything I’ve ever seen in the last 10 years on KZbin.

[@nophima]

this was so good, it gave me the chills 😂

[@Azzataky]

When you find out you were doing shadow work on your own for about a decade now. It is hard for sure. But it truly pisses some people of if you tell them to reflect on theirs emotions and why they happen. If only more people would do this. I got on this by one way. The reactive technique that is. My opinion is that emotions are my responsibility. Bad emotions I have towards someone ment that person said or did something that triggered my emotions and I started to reflect on them to think why I feel what I feel. You dont always find the truth, but there is many roads you can take and many lead to good places. Start the journey, explore the roads, build a better mind. Andrew is on point (while a bit too dramatical :D) as always!

[@abhi-wi2mj]

What a coincidence Andrew... just a few days ago I was thinking about my early childhood and how I was ... a bully too..... our 5 year old class made fun of these 2 sweet and innocent classmates who had Down's syndrome. No one wanted to sit or eat or talk with them because we found them funny in a mean way. One of these kids was in my bus and she often tried to sit with me but I was always rude to her. Can't beleive it now. But some parts of our past are just so disgusting that .... we tend to avoid thinking of it :(

[@abhi-wi2mj]

@Sarah Donaldson but I never met them again....I dont know how badly I affected them . Hopely I get a chance to apologize tho. And thanks i guess💚

[@evgenivasileuski559]

The best part that year ago I've done this all, but after a panic attack I simply couldn't do it anymore and forgot how to do it, thank you for reminding me

I've learned to be OK with my shitty life and knowing life will never be what I want it to be and that's how you own your dark side when you know life will throw shit at you but you will be unphased and unshaken because youve come to peace with it thx for the upload m8 🖤

[@freemind2025]

Come on Andrew 🤣 this is way too simplified! You forgot the influence of our biases. This is a process and there’s much more a person needs to do before actually doing shadow work.

[@Lumors]

Yeah... The "don't do it unless you are ready!!" is just tempting the unready. :(

[@ljgant1936]

Shadow work has always been the leaves in the gutters. Cant wait for the meditation
