Know Your DARK Side: Jung's SHADOW

[@Anyextee]

In our darkest moments, we often find the most profound illumination. Thank you for reminding us to question the roles assigned to us by society. I appreciate it!🙏❤🙏

[@PonderingPsyche-sq2fc]

Thank you brother, and for the light you bring to the world with your work 🙏🏻❤️⚡️

Excellent video. Humility, mourning for self is the path to our shadow.

[@PonderingPsyche-sq2fc]

Thank you. Well said.

[@energybender]

Super Video. I do however think you can reach the destination of a fully conscious/integrated shadow, and I think that is what Enlightenment is. When that yin and yang are swimming smoothly.

[@leanallllthewayin]

Absolutely👑✨

[@PonderingPsyche-sq2fc]

Thank you!

A Dark Night of the Soul is facing one's shadow. Also, during an ayahuasca ceremony, one should face and accept one's dark shadows! This is growth!

[@PonderingPsyche-sq2fc]

Agree! We have to face and integrate the shadow to individuate.

[@stridedeck]

@@PonderingPsyche-sq2fc Our shadows create our addictions, alcoholism, and other obvious extreme behaviors. Facing these shadows, we emotionally confront them forcing them to reveal themselves to our light beam of understanding!

[@PonderingPsyche-sq2fc]

Revealing the shadow is the first step towards integrating it …

[@stridedeck]

@@PonderingPsyche-sq2fc Not integrating, but dissolving the shadows!

[@MichaelDavison-v2m]

Insightful and helpful discussion of Jung's challenging construct.

[@PonderingPsyche-sq2fc]

Embrace your nightmares thats where success lays within

[@PonderingPsyche-sq2fc]

Interesting… yeah definitely peering deeply into your nightmares can be revealing

[@DeDona1]

A good way to start shadow work is to delve in to the fears you had as a child and what fantasies did you create to overcome them or cope?

[@PonderingPsyche-sq2fc]

I agree looking at your fears is a great place to start with shadow work. another place that is very fruitful Is asking questions about what are you ashamed of?

[@AaronGill-i2e]

Upgrade your character every forbiddon thought every dark fear all power waiting to be tapped into

[@PonderingPsyche-sq2fc]

Yes yes … in the shadows and darkness is where power grows

Jung was delusional . There is no unconscious or shadow world that needs to be fixed in order to awaken . if darkness is a problem then simply introduce the principle of the second element , in this case light . if we are in a dark room ,we don't attempt to remove the darkness by accepting it ,going into it , etc we simply throw the light switch to the on position and the darkness waits at a distance proportional to the intensity of the light . What Jung is suggesting is working on the problem on the level of the problem. if we are drowning in the ocean we don't try to remove the ocean , we simply swim to shore and get out .

[@PonderingPsyche-sq2fc]

The shadow world isn’t something that is “fixed,” but rather something that is examined and understood for what it is so it doesn’t have undue influence over us. Obviously suggesting that there is no unconscious world is highly problematic and defies actual experience. What you are suggesting, shining a light on the darkness, is precisely what Jung suggests we do … expose our shadows to the light of day so we can integrate them and be more whole …

[@siriosstar4789]

As you wish . if your experience aligns with what Jung says then i cannot possibly say that it doesn't . i would never deny someone's experience . my experience is that the darkness is already integrated with the light , therefore it cannot be considered as an obstacle to it. for me there are three modes .pure light with no darkness . pure darkness with no light and self illuminated darkness where light and dark exist simultaneously . The distinctions only come into existence when we focus on any of the above . When light and dark are realized as one , then where is the need to expose the shadows to the light . They don't become one due to conscious attempts to make them one , they are already one . this does not involve an intellectual process of understanding , it is a realization of what already is .
