A beautiful landscape makes others envious of your great accomplishment, but how do you get it?
I have not been able to put it down, which for me, is rare! I defy anyone to read it without running smack dab into her Shadow. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Sandria Green-Stewart from Toronto, Canada on June 03, 2010: iEric2010, I really like this post. It is a terrifying, threatening presence, the stuff of deep depression, psychopathy and destructiveness. Read Part Two of this series by Jack E. Othon. In the world of psychology, this is known as confirmation bias: humans tend to interpret and ignore information in ways that confirm what they already believe. These behaviors are not exclusive to the Western world, or to the Middle East, or South America, Africa, or any one region or people. However, our collective moral codes fall short because they only offer ideals. Ironically, internet trolls are some of the most insecure people of all. I'm reading this book with a guy I work with so I can't wait to sit down with him and pick his brain. Sixty five illuminating chapters by renowned authors, Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 2, 2013. Superior subject matter AND superiorly written makes this book a FIVE STARS in my world, and that from me, is VERY rare! I am an avid follower of Jung and this hub shows quite a command of his thought. Then comes the final shattering shock, when we discover that, in part at least, this is impossible no matter how we try. Interestingly, the Greek root used here, of which hypocrite is a transliteration, refers to an actor, one who plays a role. I defy anyone to read it without running smack dab into her Shadow.
Thanks for your reply.
Each of us is responsible for forming the social codes of our communities. We can see the answer manifest in our world today. This doesn’t make those thoughts, memories, and emotions go away, but it does put them somewhere we don’t have to “see” them.
I'm now writing THE REINVENTION OF AGE, which will be a guide for Baby Boomers like myself to expand our inner work in late life. Ideas that are challenging or contrary to social norms are considered dangerous and are best left unexpressed if one wishes to “fit in.”. While shadow work is a rewarding way to cultivate a deep and intimate understanding of ourselves, and thus evolve as individuals, the truth is that the world needs us to embark on this journey sooner rather than later. Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2020. Self-honesty is the key. Jung, C.G.

This book has been cleverly put together and works equally well on two different levels. People often celebrate their own greatness without acknowledging times that they may have cheated others to get to their success.
With no inherent need to deny any aspects of the self, there is no need to project any of these aspects outside of the experienced self. Though space does not allow for a further elaboration of what this process of mindfulness entails, it is the assertion of this essay that the same mindful process by which desires are said to be compassionately released within the context of Buddhist mindfulness practice is the very same process by which the personal shadow can be benevolently confronted and assimilated into the experience of the self. Your conscious awareness is like a light enabling you to observe what is happening inside your mind. As a person who has had to have a lot of occupational therapy for serious reading issues, I appreciate the authors sharp writing ability!! Racism, for example, is a huge issue in the United States in the present moment and Americans are struggling to find a way to correct this prejudice and the inequality it creates. Well Done!
Not trying to point fingers, but many of these philosophies come from Newer (*cough, cough*, Age) ideas, which often misinterpret ancient teachings to fit into the modern desire for convenience and comfort.
Our society teaches us that certain behaviors, emotional patterns, sexual desires, lifestyle choices, etc. Meditation is a great way to develop this ability to step back from ourselves, with the goal being to gain the ability to do this as we go about our daily lives.
He was grounded, while I became his “savior.”. The ego is only the tip of the iceberg floating above the sea, but the unconscious mind is the vast mountain of ice lurking beneath the surface. People form assumptions about others based on their appearance all the time—in fact, it’s a pretty natural (and often useful—e.g.
New York: Schocken. By projecting the deviant behavior onto my poor little brother (whom, I assure you, I spoil to death in our older age as penance), I avoided having to confront the dangerous behavior in myself. When we cross that line, as we all frequently do, we suffer the pain of society’s backlash.
As we embark on this work, we begin to understand that much of our shadow is the result of being hurt and trying to protect ourselves from re-experiencing that hurt. Eric Thompson - Binaural Waves on November 02, 2010: I have no idea why a comment of yours was not posted last week, and I apologize for any problems.
In order to help his audience see more clearly how their pointed criticism originates from an over-identification with the persona, he speaks directly to the persona and says, “You hypocrite remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye” (Matthew 7: 5, New American Bible). If you avoid making eye contact or speak to others coldly, you build a community based on distrust and animosity.
Best in the series. — Carl Jung, “The Philosophical Tree,” Alchemical Studies (1945) Shadow work, then, is the process of making the unconscious conscious.
When Jung’s former mentor, Freud, proclaimed, “where id was, there ego shall be,” he was speaking about ending this externalization of the personal contents of consciousness (Freud, 1965). “Filling the conscious mind with ideal conceptions is a characteristic of Western theosophy, but not the confrontation with the shadow self and the world of darkness.
It's a fascinating lense into the parts of ourselves that we repress and passivly experience through others, not realizing that the traits of others that we wish were are own are indeed our own, we just deny ourselves them due to shame or our upbringing. This book has a lot in it! I looked at the cars driving by, suddenly aware of the boundary I was about to cross. When this happens we stop thinking selfishly and start thinking empathetically and cooperatively.
Whether the shadow manifests as a war protester who covertly bombs public buildings, a novice guitarist who practically deifies Eddie Van Halen, or as a pro-life extremist who assassinates abortionists, it always represents the very qualities that the persona claims to lack.
While the stages of development in the first two-thirds of her model depict the ego as differentiating itself in the direction of greater levels of autonomy, the last third of her stage-model—the postconventional stages of development—views the ego as growing toward higher levels of unity and integration with the ground of being itself (Cook-Greuter, 2004, p. 5). The information in this book is, I feel, important and known by too little people. On the other side of the window, however, rules were being broken.
You’ll also get access to a 23 page Quote-Book with more profound passages. Rather than confront something that we don’t like, our mind pretends it does not exist.
For all our discussion of the abstract power of societies, they are still made up of individual people. However, we don’t actually need people to observe our deviances to suffer for them.

The only way to escape from this perpetual recurring pain is to mask it. Thanks for writing with such clarity and insight on a topic that is so cerebral.

SpiritMom from New York on June 17, 2010: Jung's work on the shadow is truly transcendent. In an integrated state - which this book touches on how to accomplish - our faults become personally welcomed for exactly what they are worth, and that is very arguably meaningful.
The stronger selections in this volume help clarify Jung’s rather vague commentary on the human shadow. Here, Freud is literally saying, "Where it was, I shall come to be.” This means that the shadow is integrated by consciously addressing the persona with its own antithesis (Wilber, 1979, p. 100) so that what was formerly a problematic ‘it’ now becomes an integral part of the ‘I’, where it may now bestow its once hidden wealth upon the experience of the personality (Jung, 1959, p. 270).
