To honour and accept one’s own shadow is a profound spiritual discipline. It is whole-making and thus holy and the most important experience of a lifetime.
We'll be exploring American author and Jungian analyst Robert A. Johnson's book, Owning Your Own Shadow: The Dark Side of the Psyche.
In this video, we briefly clear up some misconceptions regarding the concept of shadow. It is the mirror image of ourselves that we cannot see, representing those aspects that we lack. It has a compensatory role that seeks to restore our wholeness of personality.
It is not the light element alone that does the healing; the place where light and dark begin to touch is the most profound religious experience we can have in life. The religious task is to restore the wholeness of personality. Religion means to put things back together again, to connect whatever is fractured.

When you integrate your shadow, you begin the psychological process of individuation. Depth, rootedness, and stability is born. You become more grounded, more secure in your skin, more independent in your moral judgments, more courageous and self-reliant. A kind of antifragility emerges out of paradox. The ability to transform a negative into a positive becomes manifest: such as transforming pain into power, wounds into wisdom, setbacks into steppingstones, tragedy into teacher, loss into laboratory, shadow work into soulcraft. Best of all: shadow integration gives you purpose, and having a purpose quells fear. You become capable of using fear as fuel for the fire of a fulfilling life. Before mastery, shadow work. After mastery, shadow work.

@Nas Kane It’s more of a “where to” than a “how to.” We must go to a place of personal responsibility, a place of honesty and authenticity. This place is the front door of the unconscious. The place we need to go to integrate our shadow. The threshold guardian of which is the cushiony veil of ignorance that has been cast over us to keep us safe in our comfort zone. It takes fierce courage to face our darkness. It takes ruthless questioning to get past the comfortable “answers” we’ve settled for. It takes tender vulnerability to get beyond the rigid invulnerability that we’ve erected to keep ourselves “safe.” It takes a good sense of humor to withstand the realization that we are the butt-end of a terrible cosmic joke. But nothing is more important than making the darkness conscious, especially when your goal is healthy integration, aspiration, wholeness, balance, self-actualization, antifragility or enlightenment.

"...Not Perfection... ... but Wholeness..." Mmmm Hmmm. You got a moment? I've got a question for "U" & anyone else Too. Cool? Dope!Thanx. So, Umm Yeah, At a quick glance, the statement from which these two key points I extracted to focus upon, seem right enough. In fact, it appears to engender wisdom, profound advice. SHIT! I bet, with a bit of imagination, creative foresight, a lick of confirmation biased reflection and honest contemplation, I can see myself drumming up an entire philosophical system for a way of life... leading to nothing short of "Divinity." ~ Even... "Infinite Possibilities!!". . .♾☯ HOLY!!! SHI💩- WHAAO!! !!WHOOAAH HOLD IT! !! wait Wait! WAIT!! W8!!! - ~That is... (ONLY IF - I quickly made an assumption, or better still a presumption or two - and I, or anyone would have to - About definitions.) We like to ignore and or "glaze over" such obstacles, troubles, or confusion which naturally arise, anytime we encounter Ambiguity* - Speaking of infinite possibilities for those who are unfamiliar - *(This refers to something which can be interpreted in MANY ways, and hence HAS NO FIXED definition upon which there is a consensus or collective understanding and agreement.) Can You think of any other Ambiguous words or concepts?? 🌚 So, Here for example - To Benji - Since YOU used it in Your quote, I'm primarily asking You (and I'm not trying to jam anyone up, but seriously...) What ITAF!! Do You mean, or think is meant by "Wholeness"? I ask because, from MY perspective, When I seriously consider the whole sentence, and context in which it's used...Well I could get confused. UNLESS I re- read the sentence I wrote above starts: (ONLY IF ...)- So, I'm wondering - How can I NOT in reality - be whole, not just an 'ass whole', & not just "some" ass, butt The Actual SUM TOTAL -of All my constituent parts?AKA WHOLE?? ☯I mean, it's not like I'm dismembered. Not physically, and though mentally and emotionally I am divided, in the sense that how I FEEL about things can diametrically oppose what I THINK of them. Nevertheless, it's just me doing the feeling and thinking as a WHOLE. Hence I can talk to myself with 100% silent stillness, and understand before forming a single thought. Right? Damn Str8. The good news is, IF I was fractured, I might be bug shit kray-zee but- you're never alone with someone with a split or multiple personality. (that's a JOKE son...) 🌝 ~~ In fact I see myself perhaps even more than most, as being not just an individual but deeply interconnected, interwoven with the world at large through which I move... So whats Up with that? Don't even get me started on '"Perfection". I have a REAL show stopper response for the hapless wretch, who stumbles into asking Me if I believe in GOD. I have a Special response for that. Talk about ambiguity...leading to mountains of BULL - HOLY SHIT!!! I DO have definitionS for most Amb. concepts, as do we ALL. 🌚 My point here is that IF we are not synced in agreement with them, and are just presuming we're all on point with the same interpretations of HEAVY ambiguous words and ideas... (And I KNOW we are often REEEALY diverse) Than How the Fuck can we NOT just be spewing Bull Shit most of the time❓ 💩Not really knowing what we are TALKING About❓💣 Bigger mystery...WHY do I seem to be the ONLY Nut Job bringing This Up & Asking these Questions⁉❓ This addresses Clear communication, and when THAT is convoluted... WE and our ENTIRE civilization becomes Fractured...and will Crumble...⚠☢☣ 🌝 💥 So, Two Benji 4 sail? Ok. Just as an experiment, what if we took your quote, replacing "Wholeness" whatever THAT means, with "Self Mastery" ? That is what I do. You could even just say "Strive towards Self Mastery" For me it is always a work in progress, I am not perfect, nor claim to be a master, because I AIM at self improvement and mastery, by choice EVERY day at any opportunity, I fuck up, but try not to do it too much or too hard... and just keep on fucking... 🌗I'm good with Sunshine and Shadow because where there be one there is the other. And the Brighter the Sunshine the darker the Shadow will be. My ultimate goal/ destination is in FACT the Journey itself. It's a Choice I make every Day/Night. 🌓 ☯♻♾

I was alone when I was 20. I had lost my adoptive mother (passed away) I was going to trade school to learn and decided to join the army. I had registered and had it all figured out. I had shown her family love. I had given my time to her daughter and brothers. Helping them out with everything. Moving, cleaning things their business. I had been told I no longer have a home. I was told to kick rocks. I had a blood brother who was at war at the time so he couldn’t help me. I was alone. I had a mental collapse at that moment. I had been a good kid, I helped everyone i had done so much good and my reward? Alone, the very people who I thought would have my back had abandoned me to my face. My own brother seemed to not be around for me. I got keys from a friend I made at the army while training. He gave me keys to an apartment that was abandoned. He had moved out and gave me the keys because he had 1 month on the lease and he whom joined the same time as me had the luck to leave in a week. I had to wait three months. I sat alone in the dark. I showered with cold water. I sat in complete darkness and slept on the floor. Noting no money no noting. I was a kid and I had never had guidance. I didn’t know how to go about life. I prayed to god I had meditated. Little ol me, the young bright eyed boy who thought everyone was family sitting alone in the dark. I was so mad so heart broken so (betrayed) that I cried, I hugged my knees together and I cried. A deep sad cry. No one came for me, no one came to help me. I was alone, no food nothing. I realized this world is evil this world is cruel. The people around you don’t matter when it comes to you* always put yourself first. I had learned that where ever I’ll go I’ll remember that I made it alone. I realized that you need darkness. You need to realize that smiling and agreeing to go with people that hate you can end in your death. That being agreeable and nice will lead you to lose things that are precious to you, like your time or your values. I taught myself to see people based on actions and to listen to my heart. Those that say they love you the most, those that say they’re your friends the most are verbally conditioning you. The true friends don’t say it the true family member doesn’t need to voice it. None the less I got myself out. How? I walked to a McDonald’s and talked to the manager. A manager who my friend knew. My friend had told me my situation. I had gotten a job a mile away from my dark room. I was so happy. I would get dressed in the dark. I’d look myself in the mirror and would tell myself, don’t worry you’ll do great. I smiled and flexed and showed my muscles and said hey I got grit and I got heart. I stood taller now that I had a job. I used my money to get a phone. I contacted some friends and I started to hang out with them. I went home at what ever time because I was homeless so it didn’t matter right? No, I went home at 10. I kept a focused mind. I had to work the next day I had responsibilities. I called and asked for food stamps and told them I was homeless and gave them a friends address for the food stamps. I had solved two problems within a week. I had one thing, someone that stood by my side. I never felt alone. God made it so that everything I touched it turned into gold. I had such luck. Everything went my way. My friends found out about me and one of them had a dad who was in the army. He was like what this kid is homeless, working 40 hours a week, has food stamps and he is alone? He told me to come stay with them until I left to the army. He would take me to work and pick me up and take me to training. My friend gave me his bed. He let me sleep on his bed. I hugged him and cried and everything I felt so grateful. I left to the army shortly after. I got on my feet and of course maintained contact with them. I left my food stamps card so they could buy what ever food they wanted. I learned a lot more through out my life. I learned that no matter how good of a person horrible things can still happen to you. I learned that good or bad has no face. The most beautiful and happy people can back stab you same with ugly people. In this life there is no discretion. You need to be selfish and plan things. Always look for options and what will put you in a situation that’s undesirable is lack of money. With money you’ll be able to do things. You’ll be valuable to people. I was given a house to sleep in and I had the utmost respect. That family is forever blessed. I love them forever. I’m thankful and grateful. Pray to god as well. Tell him your problems and ask him for help when you need it. I found money on the floor during those times. I also meditated and didn’t fap. As men we have the energy to ATTRACT but it comes with semen retention. People will want you to be around them and you will have energy to multi task. Deep down I wanted to hate everyone and become a criminal but I hugged myself and told myself that it’s not my fault. I had spread noting but love and eventually it will come my way. Karma is a thing and every now and than you’ll receive luck to such an extent that you go wow this worked out. There will also be moments where things go wrong where you will make mistakes and you’ll have to forgive yourself. I learned to love my shadow and I realized that you need both light and darkness in yourself in order to address a situation. Tell people no and leave those who fk you over. Slowly stop talking to people you realize don’t have your best interest. People will always tell you things but don’t listen to them. Most often than not people will spill lies from their mouth because it’s convenient to them at the time. Trust only yourself and make moves that will benefit yourself. Take a job that’s easy to do and easy to get too. Don’t share bank accounts with no one, Ever. Be smart about what you do.

I’m going to be personal as an example of how I’m still learning to own my dark and how it’s transforming my life. A trait that’s negative that I have that I fight is extreme possessiveness when in relationships. Im very very jealous. My ego wants me to deny the fact im jealous and justify why how I feel is ok. Rather then face the fact that I’m a jealous person when in love but to a toxic point. Nobody wants to admit that they’re too controlling or possessive or hypocritical. And I’m all of those things when I love someone. It took me a while to really realize the true source of why I feel intensely jealous over important people in my life. It stems from being neglected as a child, my foster care experiences, being in girls homes. You never truly feel cared about most of the time. And it grew into me clinging on and being codependent. But I never would’ve been able to realize that about myself if I didn’t accept and confront the fact that I am indeed jealous. Jealousy is rooted in my shadow and when i look deeper into why I feel that feeling I’m able to handle the situation. But when I deny it it just makes me crazier. That’s one of the many bad traits I have. I use this to transform my behaviors. For example, if I feel jealous. Instead of allowing it to eat me up and I act badly or manipulate my partner, I ask myself why I feel this way. Usually it’s just lack of assurance, I’m a person that needs to be told and reassured a lot due to my past. So if days go by and I don’t feel much affection from my partner I’ll assume things. When in reality i grew up with lack of love so now I feel dependent on hearing someone assure me they won’t leave, cheat way more than the average person. I can use my lack of love experiences to love somebody in the ways I needed. You can also use the same tactic for envy. Everyone feels it. So don’t deny it. When somebody gets something that I’ve been wanting and the inner shadow wants me to get angry or upset or feel bad things toward the person getting what I want. I stop myself and I ask. Why do you feel this way? Me personally, my envy comes out when I feel that I work or am deserving of something and somebody else who is less deserving gets or has what I want easily when I have to struggle very hard. I’ll stop and ask myself why do I feel envious? Now that I know I feel envious consciously I can evaluate. I’ll start to remind myself that I don’t truly know the persons life. And just because they have something or get something doesn’t mean that I can’t achieve it for myself. I assure myself that I am also worthy of the things I desire but only when the time is right and to remember that everyone has seasons of happiness success and brokenness. I alert myself that being envious is a sign of low self esteem and I ask myself what part of me feels attacked that I feel envious over somebody else’s success? Even tho I do not sufffer from low self esteem. I am not as envious as I am jealous, but I do feel envy when i feel like things aren’t fair. I literally use the situation and by the time it’s over I’m not even envious anymore and I’m able to be at peace with somebody else getting something I desire. And I use it as motivation and power by using that as a way to confirm that what I want whether it’s a job money a partner, a body goal etc exists! Just because it doesn’t exist in my life fully yet doesn’t mean I should feel bad. Be happy that the things you want and desire exist even if it’s not for you. You have the power to make and be whoever you want to be.

When I was a teen, I went through a very traumatic event that had me depressed for months. I was never really the person who got support from anyone: parents or friends. They all kind of ignored my feelings and I felt abandoned. And at the very lowest point I just randomly changed. I wasn’t shy. I was assertive, I was confident. I stopped caring about what I had valued and just started acting as if whatever I did didn’t matter so why bother trying to be “good”? It just kept growing and growing til it wasn’t assertiveness…it was aggression. It wasn’t confidence it was arrogance and I lost myself and couldn’t know what sprouted this change…it took somebody I loved very much who had died to pull me back onto the right track. Then I learned about the shadow and some of Jung. And it made me cry when I realized I understood why I changed. I had taken too much way past the breaking point and when I snapped , when the part of me that was “good” became too weak the other half just erupted out. Like it took the lights’ place. I’m kind of obsessed with Jungs work now and plan on reading his biggest works. I think it’s something we all should do,…read a little of Jung. I don’t understand why Freud is like the face of psychology in highschool textbook and not Jung…

Another aspect of human nature that everyone has & ignores. Assimilation is for _others._ Everyone projects expectations of assimilation to _their beliefs_ onto everyone else. Me, I've always been like the gut who appears out of nowhere & uncredited (oh, the irony) at 1.09:00 of kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtZ5oqqYxsyqo3k.html. I think expectations are possibly The most Useless Thing yet most humans carry them around all the time as if they're armor. I _think_ that the reason may be that this is an extension of how Western Europeans warped Christian philosophy into an infantile "it's Always Right when We Do It" fantasy that everyone now seems stuck in, trying to justify. Abandoning one's religion is tough, so abandoning that philosophy now feels like standing against God Himself. So how does one _face_ knowing one's politicians are corrupt? Well, if one was taught that merely being Christian means everything is okay, then nothing. But How does Christian philosophy reconcile with allowing evil? Badly. So, mental anguish from inexcusable contradiction = emotional harm.

Butt, when "assimilation" would be stupid... Do what is not stupid and allow the manipulative perpetrators to call it "projection" if it makes their disingenuous asses feel better about their own darknesses that they lie to deny, and use only to achieve their own desires and wishes. Do NOT "assimilate" when the price demanded is everything you have earned. That which is truly given is done so without duress and fraud on the part of the receiving party. The profit of theft is loot, not a gift.

When you accept your dark side the less powerful that part of you will become, leading to more happiness. Gain understanding as to why you feel the cringe within you. Ask yourself if there’s any positive ways you can intergrade your dark feelings of hate, anger, fear, repulsion for good. It’s all energy and it needs to be balanced out. Once you realize and truly accept where your shadow stems from you can heal and transform. Ego wants you to deny the trait or habits that we truly have that are within us but negative. But the more you fight the shadow the more hostile it becomes, because your at war with yourself. Always realize the unconscious is stronger than the ego.

My journey has started earlier this year. To become completely independent from all and to only rely on myself. I have always been in relationships, it’s always been 50/50 but when it falls apart it’s hard to pick yourself up. I am done with this process. I left toxicity and moved to a new state penniless. It’s taken me about 6 months but I am finally about to get a car here and from there real independence will finally be achieved. I will no longer worry about others but only myself, this sounds selfish and it is. I have spent my entire life building up others and leaving myself broken. It’s time for me, it’s time for myself to be repaired and be alone.

I have recently found my behavior to be almost bipolar. I used to think the concept of the shadow was unreasonable, but I am convinced that it is true. In my romantic relationship, I strived to be a good partner - and I think my shadow is manifesting due to my repressed feelings (I have said sorry many times when I did not mean it, and admitted to things that were untrue to keep the peace). I have also struggled to be assertive. I tried to embrace my shadow, but I became out of control and was frustrated and hurtful. Now, I must find balance. This video was truly thought-provoking, and one that is the beginning of my research into this concept!

I found this video through a random recommended scrolling and added it to my watch later playlist, and however many days later I was laying in bed, just after taking melatonin, and played the audio to this video as I laid down to fall asleep. This reverberated into a night, a moment, unlike anything I have ever experienced. Sleep was hard, but my dreams were hitting even harder and the bridge between sleep and consciousness did not seem to exist. Sleep paralysis would chain in-between my dreams processing the video my brain was just blessed with, and, ironically, sleep paralysis leads to fearful shadows created by your mind out of the shock of being paralyzed, awake, but still in a dream state. The symbolism of this experience has created such an eye opening expression of reality that it has truly awakened a part of me. The paralysis is self-stagnation, and being awake, still in a dream is the state of consciousness you are in when you are scared of your shadow. And, like I said before, this sleep paralysis was chaining, repeating in a seemingly unending cycle. So much so, that I started to understand that it was only sleep paralysis, and eventually, I started being able to control the shadows I was creating. I was amazed by the phenomenon of sleep paralysis. If the lucidity of sleep paralysis and control of the shadow can disarm its horror, I wonder what lucidity in being awake can do with the dread of existence. It has been a couple of weeks since this experience, but this video and the massive shadow it has cast into my life has been in the forefront of my mind and has allowed me to see how beautiful grey is. As @Yojin Bo's top comment says "You don't find this video, it finds you." , these words could not have expressed my experience more clearer, this video has found me; It has found me through helping me find myself. And if anyone finds the end of this essay, I hope you have taken away from this video a similarly enlightening experience.

Psychedelics in very very high doses will give you a simulation of a NDE . It's the highest level. But if you reach the omega point you will know what God knows. For a moment. But in our blindness we don't grasp the concept of time in these lower dimensions. That moment was infinite and in a way longer than all of our lives combined. Yet I'm here now. It's a quantum truth where we exist in parallel dimensions. We get confused and call it parallel universes. Sorta true but just true because it's very difficult to understand w your third eye closed. Infinite divinity of eternal infinity. I did a 300hr sharpie drawing called on KZfaq "omega point rico1art" sacred geometry like you can't imagine . P.s I call the shadow "the Blindspot" you can penetrate it but it can't be erased in these dimensions. You can rise above it for limited time. W discipline it gets easier. That's what monkey are doing w there lives. Once you rise above it. The extremely complicated geometric shape of your light body changes. That's how your blindspots reset after epiphanies. You effect the higher dimensions enough to be put into another level of paradigm shift. The shift is the shape of reality and your actual light body. I only know this because I hd a real psychedelic NDE Sept 29, 1999 Everyone sees it in there end but the biggest blessing is to know this when you are becoming a man. The difficult part is truly having "knowledge" but watching ppl around you suffering hopelessly when you know you could expose them to freedom enlightenment. It's very much like the story of the men in the caves that couldn't be convinced they were prisoners of there mind. Like the matrix 1 concept.

This video is a great birthday present! And it explains a recent experience I had. I'm 51 years old. I've been doing inner work for about two years, and for the past few months I'd been feeling something that I describe as "fear to be alive". Is like been naked with no weapons in a jungle full of predators. On a Sunday night I felt these fears hugely amplified. I thought I would collapse. But I just seated with the fear and observe it with curiosity and no judgment. After an hour the fear disappeared and only left physical pain all over my chest. I went to sleep and the next day I woke up feeling absolute freedom and blissful. I was fully in the present moment. The Kingdom of God opened to me for the first time. My mind was so quiet, almost non existent. Everything looked so pristine. I was in a constant awe, full of enthusiasm and energy. Every interaction with the world was a celebration! It is the Gloden World described here in the video!! I stayed in it for about 4 days. It was the most powerful yet ordinary experience in my life. I had a feeling this wasn't new for me, and it dated back to an early childhood. I felt it was something natural to every human (it felt remarkably ordinary). This video resonates so much with my experience and makes me understand it in a much deeper way!! Thank you from the deepest part of my heart!!❤️

I sit quietly w my eyes closed and I see it and ask for more and really feel it w a sense of curiosity...letting it play it self out. The more uncomfortable the more I welcome it and eventually embrace it. I say eventually as there must be time for observation or allowing a good dose of uncomfortable.

I entered such a weird state I swear I could feel the electricity in my brain from whatever was happening.

If you want to get to know your shadow bring awareness to emotions as they arise and projections (your views of things outside of you). They come from the unconscious specially the ones you don’t like to feel, deny and blame others for. The shadow is always throwing little nuggets at the ego, it wants to be known.

The hero's journey is basically a cycle of transformation. One begins at the top at home, when the call to adventure takes him or her away to an unkown territory, where dangers lurk. When you reach the bottom of the circle, the hero dies but is brought back by a blessing from a maidden or wise old man. Then, the hero must make his way back home where he can bring the knowledge of how to transform lead into gold, or the philosopher's stone, to his people. Think of it like going on a hike: you leave your home to visit some landmark in nature, like say, a waterfall, where you submerge yourself in the cold water to come out having experienced a psychological death and is invigorated, but after reemerging, you still have to go all the way back. I believe that the hero's journey is relevant for us humans exactly because of this pilgrimage nature of human beings, who must always be walking somewhere and then come back.

I’ve just found your podcast on apple. I’m so grateful, I love your show, it really resonates with me. I just don’t want to use KZfaq anymore. I feel like if I’m listening to a podcast I’m still getting things done, rather than being on my butt watching KZfaq. I really appreciate your take on Jung/the shadow in this vid. I’ve been learning about it for a few years but there was gold in your video I’d never thought about before. There was more than one time in the video I had to rewind and listen again so I could really let it sink in. Thank you.

as someone who grew up with anger issues to the point that i scared many of my family it was only when i embraced the darkness within that i was able to become stable and not lash out at anything in sight i realized that the more i tried to deny and hold back the rage the less control i had i consider myself very fortunate that i come to this enlightenment all on my own and before it destroyed my life as looking back now i see i was on a path of either self destruction or or imprisonment this video speaks truth i know from first hand experience

It's odd because I keep having shadow-work echoed back to me everywhere and I suppose that I cannot deny it any more. Admittedly, in my 20s, I was a complete pushover and just doormat, empathic type. I would think of boundaries and saying "no" as unhelpful, in spite of how it was only damaging me. A lot of my shadow seems to possess traits and qualities that I truly need.

i can relate. i had a realization that i was pretty much a "doormat" as you described and had this inner voice telling me how there's a version of me that i hide from. some see him and i want to be him but im too scared to become that person, too scared of falling short. so in response i don't become him and continue being walked on until im ready to become that

I needed this video. I always felt like an unstable walking paradox and I am trying to work on myself but it is not easy. Sometimes I feel like my shadow and ego are one, that they complete each other and then it’s total chaos and my mood swings are just so persistent. I thrive to find that balance and I don’t really know how to but, I am trying to spend more time by myself and to reflect on my actions and emotions. It will b a long journey, but the beginning is the most important part.
