First of all, thank you so much for watching! I hope something-anything-in this piece was useful or at least meaningful to you. Alright, here are some video FAQs: - Some classic paintings were digitally manipulated for useless reasons. I know, I know. - Except for specified dates and sources, consider vague historical references as historically inaccurate. For example, Romans didn’t have pretzels as we know them today, although legend has it they originated them. - I recreate journal entries and invent some for illustrative purposes. I also chose not to always disclose which are real because. Thanks again! Please subscribe!
I've always been a fan of Jung. His 'Archetypes' theory is enormous & is quotes ad verbatim, in many books of the inner journeys' i've read over a lifetime of interest in the arcane. The journey within to see the without, the hero's journey, Persephone's quest & the like...if put into practice at a deep level. Subscribed & thanks for the post with love from Australia
Try out boxing if you haven't already. It will teach you a lot about yourself and others. You may even let your shadow out of the box like the caged tiger she is ;)
You're right. It is useless to recognize your shadow if you don't know what to do with this knowledge. You have to channel that energy towards something good, and then your shadow becomes your friend

Along with the blame of the individual for not doing the positive things that are in his control, you also have to STOP blaming the individual for the things that are not in his control. Which are of increasing quantity with time. Therein lies the problem of our generation, there are far too many things opposing the individual that are not in his control, limiting or worsening his choices in life. But if an individual becomes a healthy skeptic and abandons his ego, he can band with others who have done the same and greatly expand his choices in life, both in quantity and quality. That's my message to the world. Stop trashing your life if you're a trustworthy person, you really shouldn't become a cog in the Dark Side's world order control structures. The more you help it to expand, the more rampant and severe the abuses become, hence Jung's fear of coming evil. Give a man too much power and he abuses it horribly. Start minimizing his power and watch your quality of life improve.
Thanks for sharing your perspective, you smart black cat. It really is all about focusing on what’s in your control while recognizing what’s not and being conscious about you not being the only one facing that reality.

My kindness, being forgiving, giving second and third chances or believing there is goodness in everyone WAS my weakness. Now at the first sign of any toxic behavior I cut the person out of my life, and do not trust no one. That's what life has done to me. The worst types are those to claim to be very religious, using religion to do bad things to you.
There is good in everyone… it’s just not always good enough! 😅 also religion is a dangerous, cancerous, cult. You should be careful with that as well. 😊
Thank you Brenda! I have been on this path for the last 25 years or so. The things that helped me get me to where I am are Psycho-analysis (which I no longer do), mindfulness meditation, and Yoga Nidra. I am deeply into the Yoga Nidra, and find it especially useful.
Wow... This came right when needed and am going through realizing it and its beautiful... Since im actually was angry frustrated and sad at first betrayed... Deceived.. though then became happy and realized a lot and it helped me take things not personal and not worrya bout what others thinking of me.. sonce ever since was Little was always desiring to be liked and be the one everyone eants to talk to... Though now know that its okay yo walk alone... And to learn more understanding about myself and who j am. And that nailed the coffin about passions.
Shadow work is a difficult process of introspection (the 'moral' part the mind will resist and you may lie to yourself at first) but it is ultimately liberating because you come to a deeper, holistic understanding of your psyche. I also believe you can use aspects of the shadow self to balance and better yourself (or to save your life).
@@ItsBrendaBlanco I find the themes of your videos thought-provoking and will be following. Jungian psychology is of interest to me and so are stoicism and certain Asian philosophies such as Taoism, Shinto and Zen Buddhism. Thank you for your work; may your channel grow.
I started exploring shadow work a couple of months ago, and I had a breakthrough a week ago. The funny thing is, I had it before, but then I rationalized and killed it. Second time is happening for a reason. But now, with those I share this with rationalize for me, using the exact same thought process.
Thank you for the beautiful video. It is very helpful and well explained. Jung should be read thousand of times, each of his words is a piece of truth.
You’ve gotta be careful with shadow work though, because you can’t get stuck. Due to the mind being pretty much infinite, it will continue to generate corridors with demons in them. Think of it like a video game with self generating maps for stages/levels. It will keep creating them as long as you create them, your shadow is as you say your responsibility.
@@ItsBrendaBlanco well I’ve read carl Jung’s Archetypes of the collective unconscious, Aion, Dreams, and The Red Book. I’ve been experimenting with this for about 6-7 years. You can get stuck in the shadow and it can have a knock on your mental health. The only limitation is knowledge of the unknown. What we don’t know supersedes what we do always and infinitely so in reality we really don’t know anything, the corridors of the shadow seem to go on forever. Probably why they describe hell as a bottomless pit. The demons therefore are just portions of your lower primal nature as well as linked to the rather narcissistic “super ego” which has seemingly both highly benevolent and malevolent qualities with its judgments of the subjective good and bad, rather than the knowledge of energy. At some point you have to accept that it is there and just move on. Due to correspondence, with knowledge of one whether it being light or dark you will by default acquire the latter. Simply becoming aware of the shadow and holding it in captivity is good enough I would say, the deeper recesses of the Shadow are not for the faint of heart.
There is nothing to be cautious about , the mind is not infinite but you maybe learn this a certain day. It’s your mind but the mind itself is nothing it’s just a mind. If there is nothing within your mind how is it supposed to get you stuck ? Even the illusion of being stuck …….. You are never stuck you simply interact with the same thought over and over , you go against a wall by continuing to go into it. You let your mind be simply for what it is , a mind. You instruct your mind or you can get instructed by it that’s your choice. Be mindless if you want to be or be a person with a mindful and wonder why life is heavy. Mind is an illusion , it’s a joke. Your deepest internal wish or desire is just something you constantly feed with attention which keeps it alive. You feeding it energy. Thinking for example is the least efficient way of using your mind. There is not even a person within yourself , a person is not real it’s a web of divided attention towards multiple thoughts and attractions.
@ what I mean is you can get stuck because the mind being endless, creates endless corridors for you to explore, this includes shadow work. Endless dungeons and endless demons of your own design. That’s all I was saying… even as it is all an illusion, I don’t explain too much because some of these things are too dangerous for some people, not everyone can handle them. If you are a “light worker”you should take note of that…not everyone is meant to awaken and it isn’t your job to do anything for anybody, just awaken yourself…
@ Have been born like this unfortunately with personal traits within not of my own 😂 as it felt as a child. Your mind has no power over you it’s a valve. You can only get lost in a labyrinth you enter 😂 you internally chose to interact with something or you chose not to at all. You can chose if your mind creates anything or nothing at all and thoughts are just this : thoughts. Why are you afraid of endlessness? Haven’t you seen that life itself is eternal ? Eternity is always here and now , your mind doesn’t creat this that’s reality. Constant beginnings and endings. That’s bliss 😊 being aware of this is the most wonderful thing , that’s not a burden this is life in it’s essence. For me that’s my last life nothing comes after my death and actually I have been like this without being aware how truly special this is 😂😂😂 I was always looking for new things and something specific : life and it’s endless possibilities itself is amazing. You can endlessly creat , be , let be , do nothing , do everything etc if you this state of being as anything less than truly magical than I am sorry. YOU get stuck because you consistently interact with the same thing over and over although it can only go further without the exact thing you may desire the most. The deepest ground within you is only there to give every reason to live up since being needs no reason and you need no ground to be. Your mind or what you believed to partly be is non existent. It was a desire or wish imprisoned by you. You know what makes it so special being without all of this ? You don’t care about dying , you don’t care about anything else than life itself and what belongs to it but there is nothing you cling onto , there is only stillness within yourself , nothing , that’s harmony with existence itself and that gives the possibility to live life in its deepest essence and that’s truly something to be thankful for. You feel everything deeply as it is without sugarcoat but since your mind is gone it’s ever still 😊 As someone who was born like this and destroyed himself only to experience what it truly means to be himself be thankful for that. Nothing else is of more worth than this and I learned the hard way 😂😂
I just found your channel today and I quickly subscribed. I’ve been listening, listening and watching Carl Young’s teachings for years and the way you put it all together. It is help me see a little more clearly into what I need to do in order to dig deeper thank you and have a great day.
Eric, one million thanks for the feedback!! I'm beyond glad this was helpful to you. I hope to progressively make these pieces much more valuable to you and others. Thank you!!
you took a concept that is hard to approach for most folks and made it entertaining and clear! with a great personal example at the end. this is very well done thank you!
I did therapy 40 years ago with a therapist who used his ideas. I never forgot this man "Carl Jung"and of course her immense help as well. Thanks for your video, it is brillant and powerful. It helps to understand it even more. ❤🎉❤
I love that you are a woman talking about Jung and shadow work! Most of what I see is from men. Yay! I've found tapping into my shadow is helping me find hidden power within myself to make healthy change. Thank you!
Tell it and there is another woman too. I will find her and come back to you😂. She is Marie-Louise Von Franz. You will like her and the way she delivers the burden of man inspired by CJ. All the best.
I don't understand why being a man or woman matters. As well as not being my experience. Really the whole feminist thing as seen today goes back to the shadow. Repressed emotions from an event. No doubt men produce more trauma to others than do women. That said a woman caused the issue that began my journey in to why. Though she was not the initial cause. The root was my father. Because of one I allowed the other. Psychology is not male or female it is human. A Kady introduced me to the how of shadow work. I credit her for the changes in my life. Not to argue but give another point of view. Also only because I'm here. As we're you. In a quest for deeper understanding.
Thank you Brenda! This video has been extremely helpful to me, and is sure to help countless others. Having the encouragement to keep digging into the shadow side, with the promise of transformative benefits from the exploration; that's priceless! And, as Jung would most certainly have loved, the timing of having your video's entry into the course of my life is truly amazing! Your work has had a strongly positive effect on me, and I'm grateful for that! You are doing great work!
My neighbor and I use to be close and then I began noticing things about her personality that I didn't like. Things that go against my morals and principles so I quit speaking to her. God - Universe- Source keeps giving me the opportunity to speak my mind and ❤ to her and I keep slamming the door afraid to be my authentic self. This happens with her and other people who are much like her in their behaviors towards other people. Not even towards me and I still have such a hard time with this. 😮😢
Recently am becoming a Girl Boss. It’s been… real. Prioritizing what I need to get done over and above being ashamed of letting myself seem “not so nice”. It feels good and also has shown me a side to myself that is new and unfamiliar, yet…. I always knew was there. I suppressed her so hard. I really appreciate this video. Very timely for me. Interesting that there are hidden talents (or talents we know we have but felt lost for a bit?) in the shadow side. This is confirmation for me. Thanks! Needed this. 👍
I think a big part of shadows work is simply stopping fighting it and accepting it as another viable being. Talk no jutsu is a trope for a reason. It’s not about allowing it to continue the behavior, but realizing it has a reason to exist and is just as viable as you yourself. If you turn it into an ally you’ve won the game. I’m pretty sure that’s part of the test if there if monotheism is indeed true.
You can and should speak your truth. Your voice matters. Self-expression is key to our personal and global growth - but do it with compassion, kindness, and a willingness to understand why you might be wrong. ----------- With that said, being overly nice is simply manipulation and is fear-based. I got really good at it and have been able to let go by working with my shadow. Art and creative work is a healthy way to start.
I feel you about your directness. I too had suppressed not only my directness, but my assertiveness too. Growing up learning that being assertive and dominance were painted as bad things. Or at least from the angle that I saw it, because others couldn't stand up or articulate themselves the same but oh well. Not my problem
Awesome vid! Always fascinated by the concept of shadow by Jung and as a person who tends to want to please people all the time and to a fault, I really need to overcome this desire to always wanna be liked by everyone. Thanks, maldita🙏
Creative presentation design - the aesthetic integration of the Jungian/shared human awareness and unconscious affects/effects on our lives, the photos and interjected Jung commentary, and your personal sharing. Interesting (I am familiar with Jung about the shadow, working with it in the ways you reflected on and in general), and in such an enjoyable way. Btw, My next door neighbor friend is from Northern Italy, your accent similar? My geneological family roots are in Brebia near Lake Maggiore. Thanks for your creative video...
From my experience and from what I can tell now, when you break free from living in a conceptual reality or in ego, a process on folds and you allow space around all aspects and there's no judgment cause your now living from your truth and that reality us between that deeper u and God.
unconscious mind meaning the mind is unaware of being conscious ? the mind reacts the soul creates, were in the space to heal the space, if we did this collectively we would become sensitive to other peoples energy feelings and thoughts. a lot of people on this planet are very receptive to these things. interesting to hear about the shadow of ourselves seems like the shadow lives in fear on the negative end of the spectrum. love is without a shadow its pure and doesn't shy in the face of fear. love conquers all. its not what your doing its who your being and i get the impression Jung was referring towards this for the greater good for humankind and the planet. nice vid look forward to others :)
OMG! I was just browsing on You Tube watching Robert Green and I saw the word Shadow Princples, and look who it is!! With only 307 subs? what happend to the makeup stuff?
We are meant to cross paths, friend! Happy to see you here also!! I actually retired the other channel. But it's still active and all the videos are up because they are still helping my ladies.
Hey Brenda - as an avid consumer of science, philosophy, and psychology content (much of it from TH-cam), just wanted to say your channel is going to blow up. Keep making great content :) Glad to be here early!
Great content. One unsolicited suggestion, you should write down the 5 principles in the description or in a pinned comment. It helps those of us with a low attention span.
Divine Intervention blessed me with a migraine that made me quit cold turkey from drinking a 1/2 gallon a day, which in turn sent me into 7 days of extreme delirium tremens withdrawals and I experienced meeting who you would call the "Hatman" and his minions trying to seduce my soul. Thank God, Mother Mary came and witnessed, that my soul was still worth being saved! I unfortunately went through another 7 days on the 3rd floor ICU! After ripping out my IVs and catheter from the manic state I was in, I somehow escaped through the security doors buck-naked where I was met by my family near the elevators where they finally helped settle me down. Unfortunately, what I thought was a Thursday night, turned out to be in the middle of the afternoon on a Friday lol Crazy stuff, but on a good note, I've just celebrated 5 years of sobriety and turning 34 this year! Always remember, anything's possible, and God's watching over ALL of us!✌♥🙏
This was an well-presented video! Your voice is soothing and unique, and the editing was great! On top of that, wonderful information! Now to figure out the details of shadow work...
Thank you so much!! And thanks for the hint there for necessary info. A piece like that is a must in the future. I do have one other video about obtaining unconscious data from dreams (to learn about potential repressed sides). It is on synchronicities, but the technique applies to Shadow work (a la Carl Jung) and it's based on his teachings and routine. th-cam.com/video/sC_3-UozZlM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=K9agwj4CX8ob3HuX
@ItsBrendaBlanco No need for wishes, Brenda... I'm 100% sure that in the TH-cam comments I've made over the years, I've never messaged to thank the host on how well these complex thoughts and principles were explained!! I enjoyed the process... and... I am going to watch many more of your videos 📹 You're an interesting cat, Brenda Blanco 🐱
People's shadow self can be either self-destructive or cause chaos everywhere else in life. What people choose in the moment of emotion is who they are at that point, and if they continue, is who they become
I gave the lead to my shadow side to rule my soul for dominance and success. No more nice guy . I gave my shadow the lead for manupolation and deceiving to gain unstopable force .
@atticusfinch6038 maybe a different version because I have that song on my Spotify. It is super relaxing and I’ll listen to it on repeat sometimes. Thanks though!
Thx. 42 years old, lived last 30 as shadow of a shadow, hahaha, lost 30 years of my life... I find it difficult to accept death. I don´t want to die. I don´t see the point of this world existing after I´am dead, so I plan to destroy this world before I die. I honestly hope that I will not make it, but I will give it my best. Good luck to us all. 🙂
The stoics say you should look at every passing moment and all of the years you have behind you as a type of death. That person you were there is dead, with this your future moments become more valuable, this is the principle of memento mori
Everyday you will have nurture balance, alone on the top of your mountain, or fall down like every one else. Masters and students alike, at any given time, we can all rise or fall.
"And the truth shall set you free." Choose saying loving truth instead of comforting lie, even to kids, and you'll live a long and happy fullfilling life.
It’s nice to know ppl experience similar things. But I just think it’s definitely surprise some talents but letting it run wild is scary to me sometimes cause I just feel like I slowly become a narcissist that uses ppl for personal gain and just being manipulative just to get the out come that I desire
Great video - I'm a new subscriber. One point... At 4:31, the subtitles are wrong. The subtitles say, "by all means," but he actually says "by no means," which completely changes the meaning of that line. I feel like it's an important distinction for the idea he's conveying.
This is the public Jung, offering a sort useful technique for bettering oneself to the betterment of mankind. Fine. It's really just having the guts to take a long hard look at oneself. It doesn't feel good. Do it anyway. Don't be a wuss. The other Jung, the one not allowed inside philosophically-nominalist academia, had some wild shit going on. His doctoral thesis was an analysis of a very psychologically unwell person. That person was among his circle of academic acquaintances. Everyone knew who the thesis was about. Jung's doctorate severely damaged a woman's social and professional reputation. Jung channeled ancestor spirits. He was an astrologer. He attended psychology conferences with both his wife and his mistress in tow. (You go, girl. Girl power!) He half convinced a college that the pipes in the walls were making some kind of attempt to communicate by gurgling and popping. And a bunch of other wacky outrages. The guy was a jerk with a few good incites.
Can you (or someone who comes across this comment) please make a quick point for point summary list of the points in the video? It's hard to remember all of this info.
I am very much aware of why I keep myself down on a tight leash but integration of the underlying reason of those feelings is not negotiable. Is it inevitable to do evil?
First of all, thank you so much for watching! I hope something-anything-in this piece was useful or at least meaningful to you.
Alright, here are some video FAQs:
- Some classic paintings were digitally manipulated for useless reasons. I know, I know.

That’s bliss 😊 being aware of this is the most wonderful thing , that’s not a burden this is life in it’s essence. For me that’s my last life nothing comes after my death and actually I have been like this without being aware how truly special this is 😂😂😂 I was always looking for new things and something specific : life and it’s endless possibilities itself is amazing. You can endlessly creat , be , let be , do nothing , do everything etc if you this state of being as anything less than truly magical than I am sorry.
YOU get stuck because you consistently interact with the same thing over and over although it can only go further without the exact thing you may desire the most. The deepest ground within you is only there to give every reason to live up since being needs no reason and you need no ground to be. Your mind or what you believed to partly be is non existent. It was a desire or wish imprisoned by you. You know what makes it so special being without all of this ? You don’t care about dying , you don’t care about anything else than life itself and what belongs to it but there is nothing you cling onto , there is only stillness within yourself , nothing , that’s harmony with existence itself and that gives the possibility to live life in its deepest essence and that’s truly something to be thankful for. You feel everything deeply as it is without sugarcoat but since your mind is gone it’s ever still 😊 As someone who was born like this and destroyed himself only to experience what it truly means to be himself be thankful for that. Nothing else is of more worth than this and I learned the hard way 😂😂
I just found your channel today and I quickly subscribed. I’ve been listening, listening and watching Carl Young’s teachings for years and the way you put it all together. It is help me see a little more clearly into what I need to do in order to dig deeper thank you and have a great day.
Eric, one million thanks for the feedback!! I'm beyond glad this was helpful to you. I hope to progressively make these pieces much more valuable to you and others. Thank you!!
you took a concept that is hard to approach for most folks and made it entertaining and clear! with a great personal example at the end. this is very well done thank you!
Thank you so much for these motivating words. it's my pleasure!
Thank you so much for this! You broke it down in simple terms and kept it short and sweet. Really appreciate you 🙏
My pleasure!! And thank YOU for these words and feeback. ♡
4:30. He says “no means” but the words say “all means.” Love this video. Thank you
I appreciate the note, Wow lol. That's the point of community.
@ ❤️❤️
I did therapy 40 years ago with a therapist who used his ideas. I never forgot this man "Carl Jung"and of course her immense help as well.
Thanks for your video, it is brillant and powerful. It helps to understand it even more. ❤🎉❤
Very cool you got that experience. Thank you so much for sharing!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤@@ItsBrendaBlanco
I love that you are a woman talking about Jung and shadow work! Most of what I see is from men. Yay! I've found tapping into my shadow is helping me find hidden power within myself to make healthy change. Thank you!
Tell it and there is another woman too. I will find her and come back to you😂. She is Marie-Louise Von Franz. You will like her and the way she delivers the burden of man inspired by CJ. All the best.
Thank you Becky!!! Thanks for taking the time to share your journey and these sweet, sweet words.
The queen herself. A true genius indeed.
Any resource recommendations on practical ways to do shadow work? And thank you in advance 😊
I don't understand why being a man or woman matters. As well as not being my experience. Really the whole feminist thing as seen today goes back to the shadow. Repressed emotions from an event. No doubt men produce more trauma to others than do women. That said a woman caused the issue that began my journey in to why. Though she was not the initial cause. The root was my father. Because of one I allowed the other. Psychology is not male or female it is human. A Kady introduced me to the how of shadow work. I credit her for the changes in my life. Not to argue but give another point of view. Also only because I'm here. As we're you. In a quest for deeper understanding.
Thank you Brenda! This video has been extremely helpful to me, and is sure to help countless others. Having the encouragement to keep digging into the shadow side, with the promise of transformative benefits from the exploration; that's priceless! And, as Jung would most certainly have loved, the timing of having your video's entry into the course of my life is truly amazing! Your work has had a strongly positive effect on me, and I'm grateful for that! You are doing great work!
this channel is acctually a gem in making !
My neighbor and I use to be close and then I began noticing things about her personality that I didn't like. Things that go against my morals and principles so I quit speaking to her. God - Universe- Source keeps giving me the opportunity to speak my mind and ❤ to her and I keep slamming the door afraid to be my authentic self. This happens with her and other people who are much like her in their behaviors towards other people. Not even towards me and I still have such a hard time with this. 😮😢
Be not afraid to be yourself. Hold fast to what you believe and dont give It UP for nothing
Making 5 chapters for the 5 principles would have been great
That’s the plan, I promise you. 👊🏼
Wow. I’ve been going through a lot of this and it’s really cool to see it all sitting out in order.
Recently am becoming a Girl Boss. It’s been… real. Prioritizing what I need to get done over and above being ashamed of letting myself seem “not so nice”. It feels good and also has shown me a side to myself that is new and unfamiliar, yet…. I always knew was there. I suppressed her so hard. I really appreciate this video. Very timely for me. Interesting that there are hidden talents (or talents we know we have but felt lost for a bit?) in the shadow side. This is confirmation for me. Thanks! Needed this. 👍
YES to everything!! Thanks for sharing your journey, for the kind words. I'm inspired by your new perspective. Let's go!!
@ Yes, sis. Loved this vid. Needed it so much. I suspect lots do. It is very intelligent and well done. Also, right on. 🙌
The editing is phenomenal.
thank you so much!
Carl Jung helped me to write the final page of my doctoral dissertation. He's awesome!
I have had dreams of the shadow self so pleased to have found this you are great!!!!!
I think a big part of shadows work is simply stopping fighting it and accepting it as another viable being. Talk no jutsu is a trope for a reason. It’s not about allowing it to continue the behavior, but realizing it has a reason to exist and is just as viable as you yourself. If you turn it into an ally you’ve won the game. I’m pretty sure that’s part of the test if there if monotheism is indeed true.
You can and should speak your truth. Your voice matters. Self-expression is key to our personal and global growth - but do it with compassion, kindness, and a willingness to understand why you might be wrong. ----------- With that said, being overly nice is simply manipulation and is fear-based. I got really good at it and have been able to let go by working with my shadow. Art and creative work is a healthy way to start.
I do not know why I came to this simply because of heartbreak but I am here.
Ditto!
Same
❤
I feel ya.
I feel you about your directness. I too had suppressed not only my directness, but my assertiveness too. Growing up learning that being assertive and dominance were painted as bad things. Or at least from the angle that I saw it, because others couldn't stand up or articulate themselves the same but oh well. Not my problem
"not my problem." that's the answer! I'm working on it, Abuti.
Great video. Thank you for this. Please keep making these.
Awesome vid! Always fascinated by the concept of shadow by Jung and as a person who tends to want to please people all the time and to a fault, I really need to overcome this desire to always wanna be liked by everyone.
Thanks, maldita🙏
Creative presentation design - the aesthetic integration of the Jungian/shared human awareness and unconscious affects/effects on our lives, the photos and interjected Jung commentary, and your personal sharing. Interesting (I am familiar with Jung about the shadow, working with it in the ways you reflected on and in general), and in such an enjoyable way. Btw, My next door neighbor friend is from Northern Italy, your accent similar? My geneological family roots are in Brebia near Lake Maggiore. Thanks for your creative video...
From my experience and from what I can tell now, when you break free from living in a conceptual reality or in ego, a process on folds and you allow space around all aspects and there's no judgment cause your now living from your truth and that reality us between that deeper u and God.
Thanks for sharing such a powerful perspective, Dustin!!!
@@ItsBrendaBlanco ❤️
The subtle Erik Satie in the background is perfect. Chef's kiss
How do you do the “search thing”?
Beautiful video. Amazing editing and powerful content. You have certainly pleased this viewer.
Great quality video, congratulations 🎉
unconscious mind meaning the mind is unaware of being conscious ? the mind reacts the soul creates, were in the space to heal the space, if we did this collectively we would become sensitive to other peoples energy feelings and thoughts. a lot of people on this planet are very receptive to these things. interesting to hear about the shadow of ourselves seems like the shadow lives in fear on the negative end of the spectrum. love is without a shadow its pure and doesn't shy in the face of fear. love conquers all. its not what your doing its who your being and i get the impression Jung was referring towards this for the greater good for humankind and the planet. nice vid look forward to others :)
Very interesting perspective. Thank you for being open to sharing it.
Thank you for this.
Justin, it is my pleasure! thank YOU!
Incredible job, congrats! Keep it going, this helps a lot. 👍
Smart and beautiful,nice. Loved the video. Thank you.
OMG! I was just browsing on You Tube watching Robert Green and I saw the word Shadow Princples, and look who it is!! With only 307 subs? what happend to the makeup stuff?
We are meant to cross paths, friend! Happy to see you here also!! I actually retired the other channel. But it's still active and all the videos are up because they are still helping my ladies.
Hey Brenda - as an avid consumer of science, philosophy, and psychology content (much of it from TH-cam), just wanted to say your channel is going to blow up. Keep making great content :)
Glad to be here early!
Joe, this means a lot. THANK you so much!!!!
I really found this video helpful. Thank you!
Music to my ears. Thanks for letting me know!
this video was so interesting! thankyou!
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you, Blanca.
My pleasure and thanks for the feedback! Glad it accomplished the mission!!!
This video was interesting + useful. Ty
Great content. One unsolicited suggestion, you should write down the 5 principles in the description or in a pinned comment. It helps those of us with a low attention span.
Divine Intervention blessed me with a migraine that made me quit cold turkey from drinking a 1/2 gallon a day, which in turn sent me into 7 days of extreme delirium tremens withdrawals and I experienced meeting who you would call the "Hatman" and his minions trying to seduce my soul. Thank God, Mother Mary came and witnessed, that my soul was still worth being saved! I unfortunately went through another 7 days on the 3rd floor ICU! After ripping out my IVs and catheter from the manic state I was in, I somehow escaped through the security doors buck-naked where I was met by my family near the elevators where they finally helped settle me down. Unfortunately, what I thought was a Thursday night, turned out to be in the middle of the afternoon on a Friday lol Crazy stuff, but on a good note, I've just celebrated 5 years of sobriety and turning 34 this year! Always remember, anything's possible, and God's watching over ALL of us!✌♥🙏
Nice voice, good video.. and a good face for telling thing to the camera. Keep going👍🏻 Bless you
That is beyond kind. Thank you! Blessings.
This was an well-presented video! Your voice is soothing and unique, and the editing was great! On top of that, wonderful information! Now to figure out the details of shadow work...
Thank you so much!! And thanks for the hint there for necessary info. A piece like that is a must in the future. I do have one other video about obtaining unconscious data from dreams (to learn about potential repressed sides). It is on synchronicities, but the technique applies to Shadow work (a la Carl Jung) and it's based on his teachings and routine. th-cam.com/video/sC_3-UozZlM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=K9agwj4CX8ob3HuX
Great video, well produced- congratulations on reaching a wider audience! ❤
Thank you so much, Kate!! ♡
Expertly explained by Brenda Bianco 🎉🎉
How much I wish, Henry! I'm just a curious cat. Thanks for passing by!!
@ItsBrendaBlanco No need for wishes, Brenda... I'm 100% sure that in the TH-cam comments I've made over the years, I've never messaged to thank the host on how well these complex thoughts and principles were explained!!
I enjoyed the process... and... I am going to watch many more of your videos 📹
You're an interesting cat, Brenda Blanco 🐱
People's shadow self can be either self-destructive or cause chaos everywhere else in life. What people choose in the moment of emotion is who they are at that point, and if they continue, is who they become
great video! Thank you.
I gave the lead to my shadow side to rule my soul for dominance and success.
No more nice guy .
I gave my shadow the lead for manupolation and deceiving to gain unstopable force .
Craaaaaawlin in my skiiiiiiiin
Loved the visuals and the quality of the video. Keep going :)
Thank you so much, Ruyko!!
Thank you for this video
Everyone should do the shadow work, it will only find its own way out eventually
Magnificent Video
Suppressing directness to keep jobs is such a thing- I hope this shifts and it only can as more people are more authentic. Or entrepreneurs :)
Glad I found your channel -or it found me?🌝Greetings from Sweden
Thank you ❤
I really enjoyed your video and am happy to see it popping off for you. What song did you add in your background at 3:07?
Gymnopedie no. 1 Erik satie
@atticusfinch6038 maybe a different version because I have that song on my Spotify. It is super relaxing and I’ll listen to it on repeat sometimes.
Thanks though!
@jamesr169 most people play it on piano, you are probably listening to the piano version, she put an orchestral version
@ ah! That’s probably it! Thanks!
Thank you!!
If i let my true shadow out and embrace it im afraid ill end up in prison.😂
Thank you! This was very helpful.
My pleasure Mr.Cat! Glad to hear the feline community enjoys Carl, too.
Excellent explanation. Thanks.
0:46, what book is that? I wanna read it
Carl Jung's foot odor was legendary. The shadow rose from there.
8:16 speaks to me

Thx. 42 years old, lived last 30 as shadow of a shadow, hahaha, lost 30 years of my life... I find it difficult to accept death. I don´t want to die. I don´t see the point of this world existing after I´am dead, so I plan to destroy this world before I die. I honestly hope that I will not make it, but I will give it my best. Good luck to us all. 🙂
😂😂
Truth is... once you die it just means you turned off the video game console on the other end. It'll be alright. ♡
The stoics say you should look at every passing moment and all of the years you have behind you as a type of death. That person you were there is dead, with this your future moments become more valuable, this is the principle of memento mori
@@atticusfinch6038 yes, things do start to make sense in life. 💪
Cool vid. Well done 👏 😊
Thanks!
My pleasure and Thank YOU!! Your contribution is gonna benefit this content greatly! 🫡
Awesome video, thank you
Everyday you will have nurture balance, alone on the top of your mountain, or fall down like every one else.
Masters and students alike, at any given time, we can all rise or fall.
5:02 Stop with the heart attack material! 😂
I very much relate to keeping a lid on real thoughts and emotions for the sake of getting or keeping a job. 🤐
"And the truth shall set you free."
Choose saying loving truth instead of comforting lie, even to kids, and you'll live a long and happy fullfilling life.
Fire.
AWESOME!! Paulo FROM São Paulo
GREAT WORK
It’s nice to know ppl experience similar things. But I just think it’s definitely surprise some talents but letting it run wild is scary to me sometimes cause I just feel like I slowly become a narcissist that uses ppl for personal gain and just being manipulative just to get the out come that I desire
i'm about to go unlock my bankai with this one
Great video - I'm a new subscriber. One point... At 4:31, the subtitles are wrong. The subtitles say, "by all means," but he actually says "by no means," which completely changes the meaning of that line. I feel like it's an important distinction for the idea he's conveying.
Nice catch ❤
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, Nickolas!!! I'll make a note for future pieces.
Like the Movies Fight Club and Black Swan
The face at 1:34 gave me a heart attack though
You are not the only one. I guess I gotta chill with those shadows lol
Very well done Brenda. 100
Thank you so much!!!
This is the public Jung, offering a sort useful technique for bettering oneself to the betterment of mankind. Fine. It's really just having the guts to take a long hard look at oneself. It doesn't feel good. Do it anyway. Don't be a wuss.
The other Jung, the one not allowed inside philosophically-nominalist academia, had some wild shit going on.
His doctoral thesis was an analysis of a very psychologically unwell person. That person was among his circle of academic acquaintances. Everyone knew who the thesis was about. Jung's doctorate severely damaged a woman's social and professional reputation.
Jung channeled ancestor spirits. He was an astrologer. He attended psychology conferences with both his wife and his mistress in tow. (You go, girl. Girl power!) He half convinced a college that the pipes in the walls were making some kind of attempt to communicate by gurgling and popping.
And a bunch of other wacky outrages. The guy was a jerk with a few good incites.
good job I enjoyed it, it was well done
Thank you so much!
Can you (or someone who comes across this comment) please make a quick point for point summary list of the points in the video? It's hard to remember all of this info.
I can drop a little doc for the community. No worries.
@ItsBrendaBlanco Thank you, it's much appreciated.
I am very much aware of why I keep myself down on a tight leash but integration of the underlying reason of those feelings is not negotiable. Is it inevitable to do evil?
Pretzels are awesome! Was that the only option or are bagels a possibility?
Next time, bagels for you. Egg, raisins or plain? 😆
Please tell me which background music is playing from 4:58mins.?
