Carl Jung and the Shadow: The Mechanics of Your Dark Side

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ส.ค. 2024
- Carl Jung was one of the most important psychologists of the previous century.
The notion of the shadow is central to the human condition and the ability to deal with it constitutes a challenging endeavor for most of us.
I hope that, by watching this video, shadow work reveal some important personal truths and that the process of assimilation will become less strenuous.

So True!
I still think spiders are worse.
@wtnomad So where were the Spiders?!
From Mars?
Most times it is sexually driven to be, what I like to say as, "Hostage By the Prisoner" (Free mind of Fools and Corpses). *I am working on that last one, but sexuality must be tops because it's the single most natural activity, other that eating. Eat, hump, eat, shit, work, nap, drink, probation, excuses, divorce, fun fucken because it feels good. All while your inner calmness is like: "So, who brought did futtin guy?" Like a true Boston native.

Being a child whose early life was all trauma I created a person I had to play. I became a musician actress, singer ,performer of course Later after the panic attacks, anxiety, depression began I was
Drawn to Carl Jung's work. It
helped me over time to finally
Understand all of myself including my shadow side and the continued rage I had. One of
the best things I realized was yes I am crazy and strange and
So much happier than ever. Having purged so much of the rage during a spiritual awakening now when my shadow side comes I understand it and know that I
Accept and love myself more
Than I ever have.
Well said Judy! I too had a traumatic childhood and became an artist, musician, voice actor, film maker. I always wondered if it was a chicken or the egg situation. Did the trauma create the talent? Or was the talent already there? :)
@@spockboy Great Question In my case it was talent, a musical family that actually did reinforce
the artist except of course when I went to college. Of course for me the great thing
was I was always playing a part.
I think the answer has different
factors depending on the childhood.
@@judythomas7732 Great point, but you look at people like John Lennon who's Mom was run over by a car while she was on her way to meet him. His own Dad rejected him. Did all that pain give him the drive or even the insight to be such a major musical talent? So many talented people are broken somehow, musicians, actors, comedians, there seems to be a pattern there.
@@spockboy Very true The links between so many artists, writers, especially comedians,
There is a huge example of
Really messed up people. That also makes sense because if you have depression and anxiety all the time then make people laugh for a living. The only reason mine was slightly different was I came from a family of musicians who were all dysfunctional. Then there is the genetic component On each side of my family there were three suicides, a lot of severe depression not to mention PTSD in spades. We should have been the poster family for
mental health problems. So yeah it is a mixed bag.

Good quote. I find that increasingly I'm more interested in becoming the darkness.

The internet is basically the new "Great Library of Alexandria" 💁♀️💁♂️
The only problem with the internet... is the same problem that has plagued all means of distributing information throughout history.
It is simultaneously the most effective way of spreading "useful information", and for the unscrupulous, of spreading "misinformation".
The key to its ultimate "value"... rests on your capacity for "discernment".
If you want "truth"... information must be vetted, regardless of its source.

Carl Jung was one of the few that was able to manifest the explanation of a higher self in an empirical manner. His works truly were an advancement in human consciousness; his works explain the idea of Buddhist dualism in a philosophical manner. Without light there can’t be darkness, & without darkness there can’t be light.
I think you mean Buddhist non-dualism. 😋
Jung was a blessing ✨

Buddhist teachings aren’t about that. More Taoist, even then they taught nondualism, not duality. It’s a bit misunderstanding by many.

If you want to be straightened, let yourself be bent.
-Tao Te Ching
Is that what they mean when they say, "Go get bent!" ?
@@edwardsullivan5884 No I think that means fuck off.
Edward Sullivan Possibly. If what the Tao Te Ching says is “true” (I believe that is), then telling someone to “go get bent” is another way of saying “go straighten yourself out.”
@Foxbody Boogie Uhm sort of. I believe that the Tao is indescribable. All words that try come short, but they're all we have. The Tao is a part of us, but we are a part of it. The Tao for sure exists in the present moment and without narrative or words or description. There is a reason that most descriptions of the Tao are contradictory. Once you get it, the contradictions actually work to describe it to a degree.
Sounds kinky
I looked into the face of madness and it was my own reflection. -- The Shadow Self
All these psychologists love to make people think they are mad. Anyone would think they have profit motive....

I think you could get the vast majority of people, at least adults, to agree that life isn't all sunshine and rainbows.
The real challenge is getting people to realize that that fact is not an excuse to be ignorant of their own shadow.

Kids of today aren't taught this basic fact that life is not only about happiness. The new generation is being very idealistic.
Every moment of every day. I question everything, externally as well as internally. I was a teenager before figuring out, quite painfully, most noone else does this. As lonely and challenging as my early life as been as a result, ultimately it has served me well and I am truly grateful for this journey I am on. Interestingly, the knowledge and wisdom of the great thinkers of our time (and before) found their way to me not the other way around. It's like my thoughts and questions drew me to engage in seemingly unrelated activities or people that somehow ended up connecting me to resources I wasn't specifically looking for. An example, my interest in Tarot..lead to an interest in symbolism and spirituality.Then seemingly unrelated , I eventually became interested in psychology..which l lead me to Jung, then back to Tarot.

It's just the algorithm 😂 jk
Id say nice to mert you but im not sure if this is me or if that is you lol. But I mean it genuinely though in the sincerest selfish way possiblr
We get to the light via the dark. Making the unconscious, conscious, is hampered by many factors, mainly suppression, denial, and erroneous beliefs. Suppression polarizes the psyche, creating an inner schism that is reflected in our behaviour and symptoms. As what is in shadow is also the cosmic aspect of our being, intellect alone is not enough. The deeper mysteries require not simply a change in consciousness but in our way of being. To this extent, oneness is key. Oneness with self, others and the universe. Without a relationship to the divine, your full potential will remain elusive and unconscious.
Ra = Law of One is a great book. Check it out, really makes a lot of sense when you mention the oneness and how must co-exist with our universe to truly transcend.

Jung's concept of the shadow has been particularly eye-opening for me. It's easy to ignore or deny the darker aspects of ourselves, but Jung's work reminds us that these aspects are a part of us too. It's a challenging but important topic to explore, which is why I'm excited to delve deeper into it on my own channel.
"What is the size of your shadow?"
Dude, that's a personal question!
so... they still wont talk about telepathy or remote viewing :) 70% truth 30 % lies to uphold the status quo , before it was 30 % truth and 70 % lies , because anyway you did not have something else to do :) RUSELL TARG , INGO SWANN ... with telepathy you penetrate all aspects of the REAL plan that anybody has , and see them for what they trully are .

I think the understanding that everyone has a shadow self is important, for oneself and the people around them.
In order to know ourselves, we should pay attention to our behaviors, even our behaviors that aren't good, or the negative aspects of ourselves that are psychologically linked to hidden issues. Once we realize our personal problems, even if we need to reach out for assistance by a psychologist or therapist, then we can work on it. Spiritualists call this "shadow work," but doctors call this "treatment." This also helps our relationships with the people we interact with throughout our life because then we won't accidentally allow our shadow self to misbehave when interacting with others, and therefore hurting our relationships. Also, when we realize everyone else also has a shadow self, we become aware that some of their behaviors maybe linked to darker aspects linked to their psychological self, and when we dive into psychology it shows us which signs to look for. Everyone has a shadow self, but not everyone's is the same, just like our personalities we present to the world so when looking for friends I usually look for these darker things to figure who's light *and shadow* I'm willing to work with and befriend.
It's important because it effects how we interact socially almost everyday.
You know, having just played Persona 4 again, I realized something. Initially, I always found it odd how the characters would always react so harshly to their own shadow selves, but in hindsight it makes sense. The shadow is everything we don’t know about ourselves, everything we suppress. The conscious mind doesn’t regularly interact with the shadow, so it is generally unaware of it, and that’s why they react so strongly to it: in their eyes, they aren’t denying some hidden truth about themselves, they’re just refuting something that they know is incorrect, yet is actually true. That’s terrifying. Just imagine how much accumulated shit we don’t know about ourselves. How much that we would need pointed out to us.
That's why therapy becomes so important.
That's why peraonal shadow work is so important...realizing & acknowledging our shadow, accepting our feelings and behaviors of shadow, and forgiving ourselves for reacting from shadow...its all a process 🖤

This work towards personal Sentience is beneficent and I applaud you for it... That said, having accomplished this myself and created a global sphere of influence (see LinkedIn)
I then thought to facilitate a social and economic framework through existing governmental actors globally... I've discussed this with many "powerful" "authorities" and well most would offer all their intellectual capital, none are willing to act! I spent last year homeless isolated as no one in my life believes me.
My point is one may find success within themselves, however lead a meaningful campaign towards affecting reflective symmetry in economies and society and one will then meet the cognizant collective shadow "the faceless one". An entity that has destroyed my life and well I will never give up this fight for humanities soul... It is becoming ever more apparent one without means may do little if anything to affect positive outcomes within the institutional entities that own this world and all those in it.

@Xavier Gomez Carl Jung was a pioneer in discovering the subconscious, his concepts such as archetypes, collective unconscious, dreams, synchronicity, anima and animus have nothing to do with scientology, I vaguely remember watching this video, it's not one I'd recommend about Jung or his concept of the shadow. L. Ron Hubbard said he was thinking about how to make money. He said he'd start a religion and wrote a book called Dianetics I think. I had a friend whose girlfriend's mother got involved in scientology in the late 70's, the teenage daughters were held in a locked room for an extended period for "deprogramming" which was, in fact, brainwashing. They signed over all their assets to the church. I assume that's standard procedure. Pneuma is continually in flux. One has to turn inward to find what one seeks, if they are spiritual seekers. Dogma 👎
@Xavier Gomez Metaphysics encompasses a broad spectrum of philosophical paths, metaphysics is not a singular idea, Aristotle used the word meaning beyond the known physics or physical laws. Have you read Carl Jung's Seven Sermons to the Dead? Or heard of The Red Book recently published? I'm glad you got out of scientology, others weren't as lucky. It is a cult. Don't believe what others tell you to believe, even ME. My experiences in life have led me to understand, by personal experience, that the mind exists outside the brain and the brain acts as a receiver. I know this because of my experience of being brain dead and on life support for eight days with my brain in constant seizures, rendering it incapable of conscious thought, yet I was aware of going to dialysis, having visitors and other things that were verifiable facts that happened to the body I was temporarily separated from. After an otherworldly experience was when I realized what was happening and I was told that if I lived until the sun rose, I'd live, if not I'd die. Lots of people who don't believe in the afterlife are in for a shock when they realize they are still here, but their bodies aren't. It's difficult to expand on C.G. Jung, even though my daughter has a Bachelor's degree in psychology, Jung was barely a footnote in the curriculum. I remember when I took psychology 101 Jung was spoken briefly about, but enough to pique my interest. Jung had odd experiences throughout his life that one could interpret as poltergeist activity or psychokinetic energy, telekinesis; either way, once their solid oak table split with a huge cracking noise. Unexplained phenomena like that colored his work. You sound young, my daughter is 44, she's still a kid, you sound younger than her. It's good that you are seeking, Jesus said to seek until you find, then still keep seeking & what you find will amaze you. I also am into eastern philosophy, I've been doing yoga for about 35 years. Yoga means to yoke with. There are several different philosophies just for yoga alone, yoga can be the yoga of helping other sentient beings and have nothing to do with the Hatha yoga physical postures I love, Hatha yoga incorporates breath, movement and energy. It's essential for me. It quiets the chatter that's known as "monkey mind". I highly recommend Hatha yoga for everyone just for the physical benefits alone. Practice long enough and the benefits transcend the physical. Here's a link to gnosis.org scroll down and you'll find Carl Jung. There are many schools of thought in metaphysics. Metaphysics isn't a single school of thought. The Red Book was his personal book, bound in red leather, filled with his paintings and mandalas, I haven't gotten to see what was published. I read The Seven Sermons to the Dead in a library book, which is the best place to start, forget the internet and go check out some physical books where you can flip through the pages and see what resonates with you. Depending on how deep the cult had their clutches in you, you may need help in getting out, if they are still bothering you. If you have no material possessions, they've probably given up because they want you to sign everything you own over to them. Be still and know that I am God came to mind for you. Listen to the still, quiet voice inside. It's in thought form, I'm not talking about auditory voices. Here's a link to Gnosis.org gnosis.org/welcome.html
I also use a great site for eastern philosophy but I don't know the link right now. I'm glad you got out of scientology without completely shutting down as so many live in fear. L. Ron Hubbard started the "religion" known as scientology as a way to get rich, he said that himself, before he wrote the book, which I read part of in the 1970s before tossing it with some other garbage. Try reading Plato's Cave. It's a great metaphorical work on how limited our view of reality is. Right now, we are completely unaware of the neutrinos bombarding us from space passing through our bodies and the planet, yet they are there, our limited senses are oblivious to the fact. The world is MAYA, illusion. There are many teachers, some famous, some may be the next homeless person you meet. Best regards in your search, there's books by people trying to analyze Jung's life and work. You can't really say much in a TH-cam comment. I suppose I should watch the video again before I leave any more comments. It was a rudimentary video I believe, but you can't talk about something so complex in a short video. Jung split from Freud over his metaphysical work, which ended with Gnosticism.
@Xavier Gomez Hi Xavier, I was going through my phone and I found this excellent article on Carl Jung that has far more information about Jung than I could share with you; I'm still learning about him myself. REALLY interesting were the paranormal activity surrounding the family home. I'm not sure if this article mentions that, where the family heard a LOUD cracking noise and investigated, finding the solid oak table split into two parts. Jung himself was a seeker. Here you go, my animals are waiting for me outside. If you want, you can see some of them on my TH-cam channel. Feral cats are good friends, as are the street dogs we've had through the years, 6 dogs right now. People say that's a lot, but we've had more. Fostered 2 dogs who would have been killed at the shelter, they're back with their dad. It took him two years to find a pet friendly place. His dog's excitement and joy to see him, especially when they were going to the new family home made it worth it. gnosis.org/library/7Sermons.htm
@Xavier Gomez Drink fluids and rest. It will take awhile to read, it has links for other things. Light from the phone hurts your head so I'll say farewell.

Man and his symbols, one of the best books i have every read as a teen, im now somewhat older and i still make the journey back to Jung.
When one's idea of self is not congruent with how the world views or treats us, then we experience 'neurosis' et al.
We all need a sustainable ego, and we all construct illusions about the external world which protect us from being overwhelmed, and allow us to feel competent, important , strong.
You do NOT need a sustainable ego. The ego juts wants you to believe that so you dont remove it forever. Although it may be necessary at one point it is not necessary to maintain an ego long term. Hence... enlightenment.
Since I ve started my healing and spirituality journey I always thought shadow work was trying to fix something but i finally realize my shadow is no one but me and i have to do nothing but recognizing and integrating her
06:51 That is something I can relate to. Somedays I can get so overwhelmed by my own thoughts and it's like my brain shuts down and mind goes blank. But watching content like this helps the shadow seem less intimidating.
Thank you for spreading awareness, keep up the good work!
The shadow tool requires that you both look at yourself in the form of binary, you exist on a spectrum of your various traits and this spectrum which slides as negative feelings and beliefs start to pile up then you slide towards the unconcious shadow side for survival. You are also a constant where the ego exists. Your ego demands you remain static and stand by your beliefs. It's this simultaneous experience of both being dynamic and static at the same time that creates the tension between the unconcious and concious mind.
This video was recommended by TH-cam and I'm so grateful it was. You earned a new subscriber. Keep up the great work!
"The shadow casts a darkness on the light, with the light in turn becoming brighter and making the shadow bigger."

Thank you and for all the comments I believe I'm fighting my shadow side my madness this really helped me 🙏
Thanks Adrian for the amazing video; this one really hit home and they just keep getting better! You strive to answer questions that are lacking in common discourse and are exactly what this platform needs!!
Thanks so much Jason. I really put a lot of effort into the quality of the videos and they will keep improving as the channel grows.
Great video. Well done. Jung was so far ahead of his time. It’s incredible how few people actually know about this stuff and why it is generally only taught to people who become mentally ill, and psychology students.
It’s bitter sweet to realize this in yourself. After awakening, I’ve noticed that ever judgment and negative thought I have towards myself or others, I question why or what’s the purpose or what’s the point? If your not prepared for waking up to this it can be very difficult to function in daily life. Sounds crazy to some people because what most people see as life is a distraction that prevents most people from looking inward. Hope this helps someone looking for answers like I once was. Just don’t rush into it.
Sounds like depersonalization to me. One you confront your ego and destroy it, you gotta transmute the dark energy into art, music, or exercise. Replacing old habits with new ones and create experiences/memories which will create a positive feedback loop.
I follow Jungian psychology as an artist on the Hero's journey. Lets face the shadow !
Excellent essay! Thank you for sharing this! I have a large hardbound copy of The Red Book. It is one of my most treasured possessions. I find that the struggle and acceptance of my Shadow to be an ongoing process. It's amazing to me how some peace and tranquility can be found by exploring the darker aspects of myself and realizing that we all have those aspects. It makes me feel more compassion for the darkness I see in those around me and also myself.
So...much...YES. I’m just seeing this for the first time. Exactly what I needed to hear today, thank you:)
INFP here.
I love the connection to Peterson’s relationship to suffering. Accept this fact of life and strive to overcome the suffering. In Tantra, one tries to experience the bliss of creation even in the painful experiences of life. Acceptance is the ultimate guide through the shadow. It offers freedom and self knowledge.
Amazing video! 🙏🏼
Remain neutral in all things and try to never react on emotion think first.
"If you want to shrink something, you must first allow it to expand. If you want to get rid of something, you must first allow it to flourish."

Thank you! Jung was brilliant and to immerse oneself in his teachings and ideology just might save this country.
I could listen to your voice/accent all day long 💟.
I JUST am having an epiphany and have heard of the shadow side spiritually. I know it's my next step, to deal with my shadow side but have been exercising my thinking to make it maleable enough for me to rewrite, "properly" (my own unique image). I became aware of my spirituality in 2017 but it took til now to understand enough to get to this point.
So as I'm spending time being inspired by Abraham Hicks videos, I came across your video here. I needed direction as to what my shadow side was. I was under the impression that it meant I had to sit down with my heart and cry about my pain but thank goodness I put THAT off 😂. I know I need to activate my heart neurons again but this is probably the door to go through first. Now I understand better what my shadow self really is and I was getting that mixed up with activating my heart chakra.
I felt very powerful while listening to you as I felt understanding AND capability. I realize this is a more unique effect of what your effort was here but I wanted you to feel YOUR power so I'm sharing it with you. 💕
I disagree about life being struggle. I love the way you and the person you were reading from (Peterson) described the process but I have been thinking the exact way you described and am actually, at this moment, trying to free myself from that thinking. I find it fascinating that at the same moment I'm consciously trying to free myself from that perception (& dissecting it so I understand my motivations and all the parts) that I run into your eloquent and detailed description that only solidified my belief in myself that I'd already come to the same conclusions. The Universe's synchronicity 💓
I feel it is disempowering to believe that life is struggle, as well as detrimental to positive manifestation. There are much more constructive views to work with as your basis. For instance, life is a gift, not a punishment or victim situation. It is like going swimming with a concrete block tied to you. Spiritually, one must have a positive perception of life to appreciate it, rather than attaching a negative connotation and then seeing it as work and surrupticious manipulation, even if you're conscious of it.
Instead, I believe that there's no point in working with old clay you've had to "melt down" and carve. It is a previous way of thinking but it is thinking that belonged to harder times and depresses the spirit into negative manifestation. I've done this all just life for the same purpose you mentioned - to constantly work on the higher moral ground by absorbing all the information I can, intellectually and empathically and come to the most kind, logical decisions.
I'm not saying that it's wrong to do that but it's interesting it was part of the "life is struggle" portion. I act in this manner BECAUSE I've seen life as suffering. It is for this reason that I try to contribute to improving the suffering lives of human life by having solutions or values (which I 90% adhere to because I'm not perfect) that will last into the future. Therefore my thinking had to work for now and into the future (the logical part) so that the species survives and thrives. However, either I took it too far or this was not the correct or most positive way to deal with it. How can one prefer to manifest the best of the best when one is only manifesting or professing the best of the mediocre or not-so-best?
One could work with clean and moist clay. If something falls into it while you're moulding, one can dig it out OR leave it in as part of the processing of the sculpture. The latter would be integrating the shadow side. Digging it out only cuts out the pieces from the sculpture but still exist as they lay on the board trying to be forgotten or ignored.
And your wrap up was beautiful. YOU are beautiful. I admire your eloquence and the words you read as well as the words you wrote were like you made up the English language yourself. Your accent is like butter 😍
Thank you. Merci. Miigwetch. Grazie 💖🌿🐤🌿💖
You made me cry with the quote. Jung had an insatiable love for humanity.
Important tip. Make sure your breathing is within your awareness as often as possible. It can change the rythm of mind/emotions/experience while dealing with whatever situation inside and outside.
Since Jung dealed also with spirituality i will add. (Only for very curious ones who like to dig deep)
There is really nothing happening outside because you can never be outside of yourself. So all experiences,whatever we deal with or observing within our minds or with our senses in objective,material world through senses is happening within us. Everything we can percieve is inward experience. We experience color and therefore claim existence of colors. Most animals don't or coloblind people..Tgerefore they can all agree that there is no such thing as color due to their similar experience which is also inward in each individual,but similarity of perceptions mechanism is there. If we also ever realize simple thing,that,our body is matter accumulated over a period of time , and that what we call as our minds,is nothing but accumulated information, we can come to a point of realization that,we cannot be what we have,since,we are able to create distance and observe all these things we were wrongly identified with. Now real question is Who is the observer? Can observer be observed? Body and its functionings can. Mind and its functionings can as well. Who is the observer and can observer be observed. Give your attention to this. Suddenly,all shadows can drop due to higer presence of light,we can see,certain "objects" created shadows due to lack of light and therefore we feared shadow as something real. "Objects" are nothing but thought which is not observed closely. And observation is like a beam of light. If we disengage in the process of wrong identifications with that we are not. All the shadows will drop with it as well. Because their existence is not something real,however appearance seem to be real. More we run away,more it persists. Turn around and look at it. Just make sure that breathing is a conscious while observing. 🙏🏼
P.s If someone claims that life is suffering. Well. That's his life due to inability of creating distance and taking charge of that which is manufacturing our experience
Wow that's so deep but so true. I'm getting into carl jung, and jordan peterson and morgue. I had a really bad head injury as a child I always see negative visions that actually come true.
I cant even begin to describe the depth and profundity within jung. Its not only the meditation on ones own thoughts and behaviours, rather than just existing and reacting, but it is the juxtaposition of ones self in relation to others. It is the awareness of ones own ego and persona and the lies we tell ourselves to inflate our own worth and gravitas, and then examining the weakness at the root of the behavior that attaches worth to ego. Furthermore it is the awareness of the shadow, but the insight to understand that the path to completion and self actualization is through the embodiment of the shadow is absolutely brilliant, and i have lived and experienced this. We all exist through our own experience, and the meditation on the shadow is its relation between light and dark and how it juxtaposes ones self in relation to others. It is meditating on the enemy and how one becomes the enemy. It is fighting for love and then having love turn bitter and then becoming hated, and understanding how ego is attached to others; and taking that power away from people, and then doing the same with ones shadow. To fully know ones self is to detach from people and ask of oneself if i am light or dark, and what is it that my shadow wants, and then to realize that I am my shadow and then to look that person in the face. We have all felt good and bad or innocent and guilty and this is determined in relation to other people, and jung is a meditation on asking the question and determining on ones own. It is understanding that every setting is a courtoom and freeing oneself of ego and being in love and feeling good, and having that love turn bitter and becoming the hated nazi, and feeling that pain swell to a rage and then truly meditating one ones own shadow and what the capacity and depth of your own hatred says about the person you are, and then seeing that person in a mirror, and then walking that hatred through darkness only to reach the other side, and it is at that point that you will see the farthest reaches of your psyche and in Jung's eyes you will become complete.
The satisfaction of hearing my arm break was nothing compared to the sublime screams I made as it was set to heal. I was 6. I've never had that much peace since.
Who hurt u lol
Amen. Amen. And Amen, brother! In a time where New Age spirituality has turned more whoo whoo than ever before and is driven by questionable motives, turning into a distraction from the inner alchemy required to birth the new consciousness, your work and efforts are greatly needed! The very fact most eagerly overlook is that to ascend into a higher state, a container must be created first to hold the higher frequencies, a process that will throw us all into the confrontation with our shadows whether we like it or not.
Love your video and your energy!
We are often too scared to even look at our own reflection. We can't even imagine shattering the mirror which never existed
This is the absolute best video essay on The Shadow I have ever come across. Bravo! Thank you for your contribution. I will be referring to your work for a long time to come.
Thank you so much :)
“We can’t control what we can’t understand.” These hit me with so much energy!
I discussed it with my therapist once and he said- “I don’t like the word control; I prefer regulate”. He meant that by regulating it makes it more realist and easier to achieve, as sometimes control could be out of reach.
Does it make sense?
Thanks for your great video. Bravo!!
Dude. You just broke my shit. I was just ranting about these same topics to my mother. I apologized for her being my only audience. I don't know where to go from here but thumbs up and all that. Can't stop won't stop?
You need a bigger audience I am sure haha
Thank you for your sincerity and depth and heart. Beautiful man. We need you.
I've being practicing shadow work for 6 years, it's not easy but worth the rewards I believe it's for sure a life practice.
Constantly for the last 3yrs I have been working on my shadow work & embracing all my madness. Thank you for this video.
“Incessant knowledge seeking is the name of the game” 👌🏼
A game we should all prepare to play. :)
Sick video, I found it by searching “integrate the mind”. One of my favorite topics. Could’ve listened forever. Thanks.
I think I was answered by finding your channel when I asked for something the other day, as I am now called to do shadow work. Now I have a road to explore, a vision, and a passion, while you have a new subscriber.
I just want to thank you for the amazing content you provide us with.
I've been really worried about my unending, ever increasing, anger and rage, self hatred and criticism. I have not known what to do about it and was/am basically ready to die because I can't go on this way. I have also recognized that this is just a part of me, a deity that I must sacrifice to the lower realm ie integrate with other aspects of myself. And as they say, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear, and so a few Young/Shadow Self videos have came into my feed today. I will look for a good book on integrating the shadow self. Cheers
this is my shadow talking - you don't need to read a book about this if you've watched this video explaining the concept
Whoever the speaker is, the man of this video...why do I feel so connected to you? Odd. Thank you for the guidance, I wasn't lost, just following my intuition and had to confront my cognitive dissonance shut down that told me this was fake and I'm crazy. Keep pushing against the limits, humans.
You have an amazing voice.. if your not a voice over actor you should be.

You have a great name. If you aren't a professional person-with-a-name, you should be.
@@Quinefan hahaha 😅
Does anyone else hear like a lil Mexican accent?
I didnt realize how deep the madness part was until I watched it a second time. Life is illogical and counterintuive.
I find myself talking to myself, my shadow. These discussions really help in self discovery of perpetual inner, and outer, education. When the discussions turn to yelling the I and Ego get nervous.
Most have never looked this deeply into themselves. Among those that have not all have returned. Of those that have returned they will never be the same.
From the novel Cell by Stephen King. Paraphrased that deep down in every human being is madness. It's insane to deny your darker side.
Couldn't agree more!
The madness or insanity comes to the rise in an extreme survival mode, when the mind can't cope with the reality it finds itself in. It's human to deny one's dark side and it's mature to acknowledge it but not dwell too much upon it. No willpower.
@@devonseamoor Right.
Must read that book sometime
@@rossniblock7618 It's an odd one, unless you are familiar with his work?
Amazing piece of content! With a very aesthetic presentation.
You put this idea brilliantly. You had my complete attention in first 30 seconds.
I really appreciate how you express and interpret the human Spirit and condition. Discovery and facing the dark ness of our shadowy selves has been of lifelong interest to me. Thanks for the video.
Great explanation of the shadow self aspects. I also like the production format with its dark mysterious quality.

Thank you so much to the guy in the video. I fully feel the same way as you. Thank you for this video and the fruit of your labour. Don't stop seeking the truth!
I find your approach and transparency refreshing.
I find Jung engaging, particularly his initial recollection of his own sentience at age 11. My initial sentience occurred much younger on Christmas Day 1962 prior to my 2nd birthday in March of '63. My personal understanding created a conundrum regarding the hostile, negative aspect of my inner voice vs. the external melding of the lightbody spirit with my inner spirit/soul. My understanding of this assimilation has definitely defined my current self over the last nearly 57 years, with many misunderstandings about the process occurring, but a nearly unbelievable parallel with Jung in his observations, as I now UN them.
My terminology and cosmological pov is somewhat different, undoubtedly, but my essential understanding is so very close that I must assume it is Universally Available to each of us in our own ways. It reinforces the understanding I have of my Relationship with my Creator and Christ, while permitting me to grow beyond the confines of any specific denomination or doctrines or philosophies, leaving my spirit free by the Grace I have received to keep my own shadow close enough to my Central Core of faith that it is less apt to be able to operate unchecked by my more dominant desires of my own greater self.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights and for sharing your gifts.
Blessings.
The notion that "Life is suffering" is the first of the Four Noble Truths taught in Buddhism, not a concept posited by Jordan Peterson.
I think most religions touch on this. Even Christianity
Original ideas begin in only one place.
This is great. I've been using jungian archetypes to expand my tarot readings
Analysing why I despise some people and recognising that I despise in them what I am hiding from myself and projecting was really helpful. I just had to practice catching myself. After a while it becomes quite comical when you realise what a fraud you are. But strangely, it doesn't bother me at the moment. It has made me much more able to approach people and situations with a sense of detachment which gives me space to respond with more wisdom. I went through a period of being afraid and wobbly, I wondered if I was losing my mind as I felt like I didn't know who I am anymore but that feeling has subsided and now I realise that a lot of me is still unknown anyway and it is an ongoing process of discovery. I can understand why Jung said the process is dangerous. I pace myself now and take my time,
My humble opinion is, most importantly, to not give the so called shadow too much importance, nor so attention. That way you will only build it. Understand it´s not there, admit it´s you. There is no light without darkness... just be grateful for the opportunity of life and possibility of balance.. don´t look for it because you will track your own steps in circle and waste your life.. Stick to your values, good will and compassion are the key for a peaceful mind and loving heart.. accept good times with humility, and hard times as a challenge.. and youll do just fine. Great video, enjoyed it very much, thank you
This is very much not how Jung saw things, and IMO as well poor advice.
@@schmecklesonwright neither of us is nowhere near saying how Jung saw things..
@@schmecklesonwright and it is a good advice, though it goodness depends on the individuals goal.. if you look to be rich and famous, youre right, none of my advices support californication... but if you look for what I mentioned in my comment, peace and love, that where it leads, or at least, led me, though it took some time but it worked at last.. so I am confident enough to recommend this direction but you do your thing.. best wishes
The shadow, as described by Yung, isn't a bad thing, unless it is ignored.
@@adempc much worse is to give it more attention so you ignore the bright side of yourself
I keep feeling frustrated when my shadow self's desires and thoughts keep showing up in my artwork because i show it to my community and it sometimes feels too vulnerable to share once i realize what is going on. I used to mask in my artwork too, but i realized how dry and dull that made it. I have swung violently in the other direction!
Completely relatable, thanks for sharing. Stay strong and god bless.
Do you have a link?
My shadow took over a while ago childhood of trauma 💔 teen life of ptsd adult life full on persona change dropped my shadow after my drug addiction and life of abuse was over now I have 2 boys and a loving family just got that dark past my shadow dwelled in for so long now its dormant and I won't let it come back

Excellent video. You've made me want to explore my shadow now. Thank you! I'm sharing this! ❤️
What do you do when you recognize, acknowledge, and accept the dark side of yourself, but can not subdue it? What do you do when you know it is slowly consuming you, with each passing year, with every interaction... eating away at you piece by piece. I fear I am in danger of losing what little light I have left.
When I was young I had so much light, hope, and tolerance...
Channel it into something creative. Think like an MMA fighter. Most of them are aggressive individuals who have managed to tame the shadow through fighting.
As an incurable optimist, I've chosen to call darkness, or the shadow, covered up light.
You shouldn't, there is a balance that must be struck. Completely removing your dark side will leave you vulnerable and unable to defend yourself in a cold cruel world.
Then your shadow is pessimist. Pessimism can be constructive, and you can learn to live with it (through merger and assimilation). For me, it was the opposite. I was an incurable pessimist who had to merge with his inner optimist.
I believe you are confusing subjects here. Recognition of the shadow has nothing to do with optimism or pessimism, it's about the whole spectrum of the human psyche. The animal within. The fear, anger, aggression, etc. A healthy person learns to integrate those components into a functional personality. Example Jung gave was that aggression can be channeled into a healthy way of asserting yourself in life.
You sound like Ned Flanders.
Like that your choose to be true to you!
Absolutely brilliant! TY for putting this together. I've been a student of Jung for years now. I find his knowledge extremely helpful when it comes to discovering things about myself.
I follow the path, the path to self knowledge, to understanding why I do things and why I don't do some things. I've learned about personas and what they mean where they come from
and why they are inside me. This knowledge fits in well with the knowledge of metaphysics and sacred geometry both seem to show us who we are and why we are the way we are!
It's true you have to learn to listen and learn to turn your "eye" inward. You have to prepare yourself though especially when exploring your evil side, there are aspects of us there in those dark places that we don't want to accept or see about ourselves, so when you look at your darkness, it's important that you are prepared to NOT run away but to stand your ground and embrace your darkness.
Why embrace it? Simple it's part of you, and in many ways it's the part that's been neglected or abused or that has taken on all of the negative things you've done and that have been done to you your whole life. If you don't embrace it, and you run from it, you fracture yourself and the evil within you can take you over. There's an old saying that I learned while studying Cherokee, "I once asked a Shaman what he thought of the soul, the shaman replied 'There are two wolves locked in an endless battle inside us all!' I then asked, 'Which one will win?', the shaman replied, 'The one you feed!' "
Why is this exactly what I needed at this moment 🖤
At last...like cool, sweet water in a dessert...thank you for persevering, articulating and encompassing all these great works in these videos... it takes quite some clarity, focus, humility and guts. Respect.
Integration of the shadow allowed me to operate in wholeness that lead to my freedom and evolution. 🙏🏼✨⚖️💚I am not ashamed of all that I am, all that I wasn’t is gone.
😎😎😎
How did you do it ?
I don't have Instagram and I'd rather not be a part of it. But I did subscribe and I thank you for your effort and clear discussion of the topic. Great video.
Nice treatment of a serious topic. My own journey began as with many - with childhood insecurity and its cousins, defiance and control. After fifty years of socially acceptable professional discipline, I faced a personal crisis that introduced me to my shadow where upon I found something surprising. All along my shadow was a source of great constructive power. So I unleashed the beast and let it do it’s work. Needless to say, that led to many consequences of which the most important lesson was a very simple one. Respect. Since then I live with my shadow but not unfettered, but rather integrated. Like all things, it has a place and time, but it needs watchful caring.
Your take on Jung's theories is impressive... enjoyed this.
"...to transcend the Human Condition."
Amazing.
Embracing my shadow, I am whole again. Now I want to focus on healing my damaged body.
I didn't understand why I had bad thoughts! My life was a struggle for so long. I became a fan of Jordan Peterson on TH-cam and then bought 2 of his books. I also bought 2 of Carl Jungs books. I'm life was a mess. I got into martial arts training and became quite good. I was a victim of bullying, hense MA. My understanding that I have a shadow helped me greatly. We humans are not all good! We all have a shadow! Step into the sunlight. Look behind you. You have a shadow.

Today I'm feeling more intact and serene than I have for past 9mths.Impetus of my seemingly failing mind balance was investigating my shadow. I'd say I'm still a work in progress and less hesitant to further my mindscaping. Thanks for your imput love Dr Petersens too.
You're experiencing synchronicity. There are no coincidences. :-)
Blessed be, Raewyn Urwin. Jung also spoke about the library angel, explaining how a book you weren't aware of, yet needing the information contained within, will sometimes fall off the shelf, be put in crooked or some other manner that makes you notice it; I see the same concept with the TH-cam suggestion.
You weren't consciously seeking a video of Jung's shadow, yet somehow managed to find it and you were helped by the new knowledge. Changing knowledge into wisdom. Gold.
I edited my comment as soon as I saw I wrote I liked your name. Auto correct: The Incarcerated 😱😵😖
Hoping I fixed it before anyone read it...
@@johnsimmons3006 I didn't write it, phone auto corrected me. I answered your comment without realizing what video it was with, so since it's about the shadow, I'm sure you've heard of Jung. NOW I think I'm going to change my name to The Reincarnated, boy I'd get some flak over that... Did I get it changed fast enough? Or did you see me say I like the name The Incarcerated? People ALREADY think I'm nutzo and liking The Incarcerated...although when I was in my twenties, I did unfortunately know some people who became institutionalized and didn't know how to live outside prison walls. A couple of them I'm pretty sure did some crimes to go back and be The Incarcerated. Poor people caught up in the Reagan war on drugs and went to prison for marijuana, came out Aryan brotherhood. Sad. Did you know that cannabis is the sacrament of The Egyptian Coptic Christian Church? I read a book called Sacred Bliss: A spiritual history of cannabis. It is a good book, whether you like cannabis or not.
Another great book is called Beyond Belief, Pagels the last name of the author, I believe Elaine is the first name. She wrote a book called The Gnostic Gospels some years ago, shedding light on the Dead Sea Scrolls and the finds at Nag Hammadi. Fighting over what goes in the bible and what stays out. Early Christians were driven underground, literally. They had tunnels that narrowed and once they'd escaped inside, they blocked the tunnel with a boulder. Lots of different groups following Jesus. They would be called cults today.
@@johnsimmons3006 Strange Days Are Here Again... The TH-cam library angel knew what I needed to hear before I did, I'm legal and smoking bubba kush under my tree with my feral cats and street dogs. When I heard it, I had to put my headphones on. YES. Psychedelic drugs are being used now in clinical settings for alcoholicism, depression and anxiety, ptsd, using mescaline and the therapist is the guide. Some people needed a guide. I didn't. Strange. Phone typed SOma. Soma is something that was an entheogen, which are plants that have certain powers, datura must be treated with great respect by someone who knows what they are doing. The anthropologist Carlos Castaneda lived with the Yaqui indigenous peoples and the shaman taught him certain things, he wrote a book called The Tales of Don Juan and Tales of Power. Shaman explained that you have to find your place of power in the desert, plant the seeds and if the plant dies, leave it alone because the spirit of the plant is very strong and, apparently doesn't want to be around you. If they go find datura somewhere and ingest it, bad things happen. People go crazy, horses and cattle too, from Jimson weed, one form of datura. Shaman said NEVER eat certain parts, you'll see demons, seeds especially. When I hitchhiked across country down through Barstow and Needles into New Mexico for awhile, public service announcements from New Mexico through the southern states like Florida, people were eating seeds from wild Jimson. They were finding people in other people's yards naked and talking to a tree. These are very powerful substances and one should know what they are doing before they do it. Psychedelics aren't meant for recreational use, they have a purpose. I ran across a young man on the bus recovering from a massive dose, he took 15 hits of LSD and wasn't feeling well. Don't think he'll be doing that again. I didn't know there's LSD in the area. People who have anxiety when they smoke weed should never take psychedelic drugs, unless they're enrolled in one of the trials I spoke about earlier, with a regulated dosage. I knew people who said they saw the devil, they stopped thieving. Straightened up. Anyway, here's what the TH-cam library angel picked, just what I needed. Hope you like pink floyd, I didn't know it existed live. Phone said disjointed and the song is careful with that axe, Eugene. I love Roger Waters, when pink floyd broke up and went to court over the name, I felt like I was going through a divorce in the family. Doesn't matter if you smoke or not, this is meant to induce changes in consciousness. I'm SO glad I was born when I was. Older brother's music got me. I remember early Steppenwolf album, I think I was six. Pink Floyd is one of the first bands that were mine. I still remember the album covers, for some reason the silver Wheels of Fire album cover came in my mind. Alcohol is the worst, causes more fights and domestic violence, car wrecks and messes with the liver and brain. I have a dear friend your age, Irish I've known since 1972. He's a bad alcoholic, he stopped smoking weed to keep his very good job, started drinking instead. Now he forgets I have a daughter. He's known her since birth. He falls a lot, has knees of titanium and he can't get up. Its very sad to see someone in decline, he was in a gunfight with the LAPD and ended up incarcerated with his jaw wired shut where the cops broke it, broke his buddy's too. He was in the same cell block as Charlie Manson and Sirhan Sirhan. Remember him? My friend told me if I got busted, take a lot of books and mind your business. Some biker guys liked people shooting at the police and acted like their bodyguards. He had to leave, landlocked and married to someone who won't leave her family. She's my sister in law, universe does work in some strange ways. My cats and dogs went inside, so I'm going to go in. I wasn't going to check notifications, I heard this song and I thought: The Incarnation has to know TH-cam picked a better song than I would have. Kinda scary, working on software that predicts crimes and stop them before they happen... That sounds like locking people up for their thoughts, no crime committed means locking up innocent people without due process. Gaia is going to be interfering with the worst laid plans for the planet. We've forgotten how to live in harmony with nature. Some think we are apart from nature, safe in our homes. Things are happening that have never happened before. Each storm described as historic & record breaking. Firenadoes are new. At least in this eon. Tornado made of fire and fires burning so hot they create their own weather. There should be sirens going off like for the bomb that never came. Strange Days. Hide under the desk from a nuclear bomb, if you can see the blast you're screwed. Civil defense yellow signs where to go. I guess we're used to having nuclear weapons now. Lots of genres told some great stories, though. B movies about mutants on Chiller theatre at night, late show. Giant tarantulas and still. I love old black and white especially film noir. I better say it because the phone keeps saying I love Jesus. Yup. He's a far different Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas, it vyed for a place in the bible, the exoteric church was established. Gnosticism us esoteric and so is The Gospel of Thomas. You can find almost anything spiritual on gnosis.org
Lots of different philosophies. I don't like to label myself and I don't like dogma. I don't think you like dogma either. My animals are waiting for me. I've spayed 40, neutered 9. No I don't have 49 But it is in the double digits. Some I don't see, I don't want more kittens. It was a disaster. You can see some of the animals on my channel. People say I'm an animal whisperer. It's easy to understand them if you learn their language. Cats tell you a lot with their tails. One twitches the very end and walks off if she's tiffed about something. The equivalent of raising the middle finger in humans. Funny things happen when you work with nature and go with the flow. I had an accident in 1993 & can't work for someone, I wouldn't be able to meet deadlines, everything takes me longer. Being unemployed was a shock, they didn't know how much nerve damage I sustained. Anyway I got into animal rescue. NOW phone said Shiva. Yes, Shiva the creator and destroyer, both male and female. Phone seems to be having spiritual advice tonight. Jesus and Shiva. I won't even get into Krishna here. Comment is already long. Here, watch pink floyd. I'm going to watch it again I think.

YES I tripped out when I saw how long it was, I was under my tree and various animals come, Ariel bumping the phone with his head, I went off track. I saw alcoholicism, isn't that spelled alcoholism? So some people describe me as having lived a colorful life. My dad was a trucker, mom *WAS* a matron of the jail that served the Pismo beach area before I was born. I'll be 62 😉😂😂😂
Glad I caught the typo. Already sound eccentric, that's my daughter's term. Phone said 623...
62 near the equinox, some years it's ON the equinox, my grandson born on the spring equinox.
Equinoxes and solstices are important, aside from the metaphysical and spiritual rituals associated with them, they tell you when to plant what, where. Now we have books with time zones of when to plant, say tomatoes. My dad hauled tomatoes in the San Joaquin Valley sometimes, that job he came home every evening. I used to play in the mountains of cotton seed, dad had belly dumps, didn't know kids have been swallowed, it was fun, somehow I feel like you'll understand what I'm talking about when I say I grew up riding on the doghouse of a diesel pulling two belly dumps, usually.
