When you start working on yourself watch out for the nay Sayers. Think about how static that is to stand in the way of people who want to do well, and be a light in the dark. It's just that your light is casting a shadow on them, it's easier to point a finger than to walk in the light too. Pride keeps people where they are stuck, and it's intimidating to see others press forward. They thought they had all the answers. These same people who tell you your goals are dumb have made knocking others down their goal. They missed their dream and they can't stand to see you get yours.

I find it is most terrifying to choose and step into our most idealistic and best self. This takes the most work and sacrifice. It is truly scary and yet is what haunts us when we know we shortchanged ourselves. The shadow is childsplay in comparison. Giving into ones desires when it doesn't require sacrifice is a cakewalk

[@hobonickel840]

It is nice to see a content creator talk about this subject using their own experience. Thank you! I've seen others use and twist Jung's content on shadow work to create fear and illusion. If you fail to know your shadow self you are very susceptible to the trap of influence outside your own experience. Bernaysian psychology can be dangerous and Knowing yourself allows you to know the pitfalls of man and the shadow self triggering influence of others which can provoke you to coagulate with the irrational madness of the mindless beast mob. R.D. Laing's work involving subconscious game theory was also helpful in understanding myself in order to understand others better as well as myself, driving compassion and understanding. Those that haven't found it yet check out Adam Curtis's three part series called "The Trap" you won't regret it.

[@Lighthouse_Wisdom]

Wow, thanks for sharing this incredible content on Carl Jung's psychology! It's so thought-provoking how Jung emphasizes the importance of confronting our dark sides for personal growth.

[@post-humangod2575]

Incorrect, both the dark and the light side constitutes your true self. The dark side is not conquered but redeemed. You do not kill the light for the dark nor the dark for the light. You find harmony and balance between both. It's all about bringing the dark to light.

[@pjderouen]

I am in conflict with my values often because of my success. I can’t get into what I do, but my biggest fear is becoming a monster. A lot of lives are in my hands as a result of my success and if I ever decide to stop caring, there are no consequences. I think this may be good advice first those who need to make the first few jumps to success but so many of us that are successful have walked a path to the precipice of darkness. I can’t let myself validate the abyss.

[@Sevofthesands]

Brilliant take on the “shadow”.

[@Shalanaya]

This is something trans people used to teach within indigenous cultures as berdache shamans and healers, and in the current time they embody that journey openly for all to see. So we could witness what it takes to embrace our shadow, because if it does not destroy the norms or beliefs, it is still a victim of the sociert afraid to come out. Our shadow hides our highest potential to rewire the nature of reality and bring great destruction to the world in order to re-build it from the ground up. Our shadow is a beast that is needed because it contains the fire necessary for the passion to lead one's life.

Your dark side is not your true self or a part of your true self. Your true self is who you were before you developed a dark side. You should overcome darkness, not embrace it.

[@stevecooper7883]

Well said. There should be a better distinction between the dark aspect of a "shadow" and simply a repressed aspect of a "shadow".

[@post-humangod2575]

The darkness is not meant to be killed. It is meant to be redeemed and brought back to light just like how it was before developing the dark side. Darkness is a part of you and it is symbolic. The dreams and fantasies are not meant to be taken literally. You have to find the underlying trait behind these dreams.

I dont think we are able to grasp our entire personality at once it's paradoxical. To be both creative and organized. To be logical and psychic, empathic and happy. Yes, They're gray areas between these. balanced finely... sure but I haven't found a solid middle point on the fence that isn't shifting one way or the other. Like there are paradoxes between these two even. Areas between the poles uncharted. Like the coin flip paradox, using historical coin flip data to predict future flips does increase probability of correctly guessing above 50%. And that's logic and intuition or psychic skill combined. Can I change my bone structure from a 6'0 man to a 5'7 woman? Im not saying its impossible, Im saying the opposite. I Encourage discovery of the shadow. If quantum physics is a paradox to Newtons and with every piece of new knowledge attained, all previous knowledge is more moot today than yesterday... how long does it take to rewrite the universe where things seen impossible today become possible? What do we have to forget in order to learn something more fundamental and more true?

[@arafatshabazz6066]

Here's the problem I have with Carl Jung's shadow theory and how facing your shadow can involve some type of revolutionary growth or self-acceptance or unification. What if your shadow was that you really want to murder people? What if your shadow was that you want to be homosexual even though it may not be acceptable or even good for you? What if your shadow was that you have a lust for power and you really want to go get that power? What if your shadow were things that were based around desires driven by genetics that are not working correctly, which would make you an immoral human being? What about then? So how is this ideal of facing your shadow or integrating your shadow inherently good when the shadow, the subconscious, could be harboring things that are not good for the world that you should not embrace?

[@katielittle4173]

There’s a difference between allowing it to surface and actually acting out on it. It’s fine to surface, acknowledge, and let go! It must flow through us instead of pushing it back down. That’s what must be done so that it no longer rules our lives. This doesn’t mean act out on it! Please don’t. But to acknowledge it for healing is the idea.

[@arafatshabazz6066]

@@katielittle4173 I understand your point about acknowledging certain thoughts instead of suppressing them. However, I believe that in recognizing these thoughts, we inadvertently give them legitimacy, which can be appropriate in some contexts. Yet, this approach has inherent risks. Without detailed explanation, it might lead people to accept and internalize beliefs or behaviors that are detrimental. This could result in actions that are not beneficial, or beliefs about themselves that are inaccurate. More so, diverging from socially accepted norms can significantly impact a person’s psyche. By acknowledging these as aspects of a 'shadowed self' or hidden desires, we risk creating a dangerous situation where individuals might stray into harmful territory. This concept, while intriguing, seems perilous and insufficiently substantiated for safe practice.

[@KyleWhiteandfriends]

The integrated self doesn't have to take thoughts personally.

[@post-humangod2575]

The shadow is made up of suppressed traits not actions or desires. If your shadow shows you immoral dreams and fantasies, you don't take it literally. It is symbolic. The question is why do you have such an immoral dream or fantasy? What is the supressed trait that surfaces when you hypothetically act on these desires? Murdering someone hints towards violence and aggression. Find some competitive activity that allows you to be agressive. That is how you integrate that supressed trait of agression. Do not kill the light for the dark, find harmony between them.
