and dream analysis, for sure. Big chunk of your Shadow is in the Unconscious part of you, so you need to see what your dreams are trying to convey to you. And also - what you fear and avoid - that is also the Shadow. The heroes in movies you love/hate? That's positive/negative Shadow. Study the movie characters you resonate the most with and infer from it what if means for you.

@@m1galler how exactly?

@@diogofarias1822 because the thoughts that are usually subconscious come to the forefront. you are a little more separate from the ego that normally where it just blends in and gives you a nudge. It is also easier to influence their effect on you since they are more noticeable and put together your patterns and tendancys. Or you can just listen to music and eat stuff. Depends on your focus in a lot of ways.

NO. IF IT IS PART OF YOU NO! YOUR SHADOW IS YOU!

thank you for making it simple

Good is subjective though. Good way for me or good way for others?

@@damson9470 i'm not a relativist actually but use it in a way that not degenerative for you but i think shadow work or Carl Jung theory in general is not gonna work for a moral relativist

Well, there would be a lot of having sex all the time, certanly...a loooot...of discovering sex stuff...just a bunch....and then some...

The whole point is to stop wearing masks. In addition, the thought of all those slighty sychophantic Peterson neophytes recoiling at all this talk of embracing one's feminine side, does make me chuckle.

That’s correct Wendy, we ALL wear masks... metaphorically speaking.

@@calskywalker95 😂😂😂

What the fuck the problem started when you integrate a persona. The reason why people struggle in this world is because thier hands are tied by law and they are in a game of life where the rules are made up but are not taught. The persona is the mask the thing that covers the shadow. Especially in men. You deny your feminine side. The mask is portraying persona when the typically beta as you put it puts it on he becomes a ridiculous creature. That's what it's telling everyone the people who are like that are fake and inside are weak that's why they need the mask. Get it right. Theres no alphas and betas. Your conditioned by your culture to compete against each other to give rise to your biochemistry that you become addicted to so carry on the shadow is you the point you view it from thats false persona and an actor that you believe you are. Your all insane conditioned slaves that believe otherwise through punishment and reward. Wake the hell up man

Fuck prayer dude. Thinking nice thoughts about someone will accomplish nothing. ACT. There are millions of people like him struggling with addiction.

Any updates? I'm in a similar place.

Want to say I hope you're doing amazing.

Interesting what the word for costvo be in English?

Thanks for sharing this. I tend to be afraid of conflict, but often I feel like its because I'm afraid of how I might react, not how the other person is reacting.

Very interesting, a valuable contribution, thank you. I get into dark moods such that I wish that another did not have to suffer, and best I am left to fight it out .

Would "restraint be an accurate English translation of this word?

Im infp too and i feel quite identified with you! Hope you re in the way to find yourself

Weird as shit, I’m Enfp and I’m feeling the exact same

Well I am an INFP T HSP empath had a severe traumatic childhood struggling with mental health.I am 30 years old and guess what at 13 years of age I discovered who I have really want to be a Polymath but due to pressure and of course other out my hand circumstances I became from rebellious to agreeable which resulted in me being split into two.Fast forward several years I learn about mbti,learn about my dreams and using Ne I start rebelling again this time integrating my Shadow and as far as agreeable is concerned I have become blunt with politeness that is if certain people are manipulating me I see through their game and either I walk away or Say no.Also if I agree to certain tasks and feel uneasy or have bad thoughts I picture myself out of my body and see what is causing this or am I overeacting or is somebody influencing me.In order no your true I have discovered as an INFP stay away from toxic, emotional,yes man buffoons and also manipulative people your true self will appear.Also we INFPs love to be knowledgeable.The more you read,research and use it in your LIfe the more you will become straight forward.

I am also infp. I do believe when I was growing up I was very agreeable. For me I had a harder time growing up, because I didn't have much of a grasp at social skills. The agreeableness made it easy for people to want to be around me. And a couple of shared traits were normally the only reason I was around somebody. Also, had really bad anger issues.

When creative/transformative expression is stifled, it manifests its shadow, which is destructiveness.

I know this is old. But how do you cultivate ambition? Is spite a good motivator?

Ive recently been really accepting my fantasies towards my family and my ex wife - those the closest to me. I’ve been writing a lot of Fuck You notes to them, on my kitchen table.

You desire justice. Now take those fantasies of revenge and understand your feelings of satisfaction from them. Then, find a legal, moral way of satisfying those feelings. Btw, having those fantasies seem normal as other people can have them too.

I know those fantasies seems unacceptable (i mean it's your family), but the real problem is your attitude towards them: that's what transform them in your shadow, yourself trying to block a part of yourself. Now, these fantasies are a part of your deep self, which is trying to communicate with you through out this images. That's ok, it's how our unconscious communicate, through out symbols, inner images. This doesn't mean you have to transform that into action, but simply let it flow through your mind, acknowledge them and than find a way to express the build up emotional energy. If you accept them, and understand that it's just some deep ancient energy inside yourself that is communicating with you, you will be able to integrate your shadow. Just accept them, because it means accepting yourself. Take care

Samuel Abraham currently feeling that

Take boxing or martial arts lessons, make a painting about revenge, or learn electric guitar and make a revenge song or write a book about your revenge.

How do you get back your claws

@@lukamilicevic712 technically, you never actually lose them. The quote is pointing out the difference between someone who is a good person because "that's all they know how to be" vs. being a good person by choice because they have seen both sides of the coin, good and bad. It's basically a reminder that we ALL have claws (the capability to be bad people), and that true mental fortitude comes from those who know the feeling of using their claws, yet make the conscious decision not to. -You can also interpret this as "a strong man who has never faced adversity, might not actually be as strong as he thinks." Essentially the same thing, just more broad. Hope that helps!

3:8 All are skilled with the sword, experienced in warfare. Each has his sword at his side prepared for the terror of the night.

Greg S which book did you read?

Is this integration of anima related to reincarnation and past lives?

@@mrsirman2177 Maybe what he meant is to be acquainted with the animus or anima. Because before you can embrace your animus or anima you need to first accept your shadow. Embracing your animus and anima is difficult and according to Jung you cannot embrace your animus or anima unless you accept your shadow which is the first test of courage.

Stop saying “literally” all the time.

@@JeffaHensley That bitterness of yours.. You should integrate your shadow as soon as possible my man

We all wear one to an extent cause even if u are completely honest in social groups being brutally honest to the point of angering others isn't exactly the way to go. U need to find a good way to be honest yet respectful.

Finding our shadow side ,i am really interested in this pls tell me how to go for it in simplest language possible . Give me an eg too if posdible

@@reenasingh-id9zh It's not so much about finding it as it is coming to terms with the darker side of you. Your anger towards others, brash actions in self-interest, and general contempt towards different aspects of life all constitute your "shadow". It starts with understanding your inner desires and intentions and how they impact those around you

I've often felt that perhaps a way too try to advance through life is by balancing off opposing traits, like trying to be honest without being rude, kind without being a pushover, dependable without being overbearing, etc.

I suggest an Ayahuasca Ceremony, integrating your core in connection to the whole, I'm certain it'd help with all trauma and pain Where are you located though?

JD - You live in "the Americas" - therefore you are an "American" Slip into that suit of clothes for awhile! I am a born bred U.S. Citizen. I came to an awareness back in the 90eez. There is no country called "America". Face this reality individually and collectively, and the entire narrative of history changes and the lies rapidly are illuminated and exposed. Speech has been muddled and the discussion polluted, by the complete mis use of the words "America" and "American" . I am a U.S. Citizen, and only because I live in a region of the "Americas", does that fact therefore make me an "American". North America, Central America, South America!. All the inhabitants are "Americans"! People have been systematically and perpetually dumbed down! Had my country been properly named, it should have been called "The United States of THE Americas". If Donald Trump had his head screwed on straight he might be crying out to " make the Americas great again". What he should properly be saying is, of course, "make the United States great again". Start revealing in public speech to Mexicans, that they too are "Americans", and that action would stimulate all new awareness. Reveal to Canadians, that they are actually "Americans" , and the conversation must change". The ignorant discussion for at least 100 years, has deluded the Citizens of the United States, into thinking "they" are the only "Americans"! Fascinating that such a delusion has persisted, for so long! If we used our words properly, well, I think the human condition in the "Americas", would look differently.

Dave M i agree man. We have a Long way to go. Interesting point you raise. I think We should use that i Mexico, as We have the same classes. White Mexican, Brown Mexican, Native Mexican and Jewish living in Mexico. We should all be Mexicans in the Mexican Micro Cosmos. But We have generated a ser of groups Which are clearly excluding each other.

In a way it’s “classist” or “racist”, but not really, you are just realistic. True racism or classism is when you would readily dismiss someone on the basis of race or class alone, without considering them on their own individual merits. That’s true racism or classism. Simply being aware that there are many poor and violent Mexicans out in your streets that you need to guard against, that’s not racism or classism. And if that is, well then good luck when you “improve” those ”qualities” in yourself... you might end up dead lol

What a ridiculous statement

If I may ask, what are your reservations and why? I personally do not but have always wanted to understand the reasoning behind those few who don't...

@@Fanny.Cradock There is a lot of controversy around Peterson--I don't need to tell you that. He says many things that can be construed as misogynist or racist, or, to put it the other way, as patriarchal and white supremacist. I am not damning every word he says. I am saying that despite his Jungian credentials he seems naive about his own 'shadow', as it is called in the field. No, I can't give you any examples now--it has been some time since I've read or listened to JP and i don't have the examples to hand. But if you are curious about people's reservations, you can find plenty of articulate criticism out there I am sure. Not all the critics are over-the-top PC brigadiers. I don't believe I am, or at least I get myself into trouble with the PC brigade a lot.... Anyway--I'm watching this video again: persona in Jung isn't just being nice. JP is wrong here. Machos just have a different persona to the beta males. Still some good stuff here.

I'm in a 12step NA programme and you're absolutely right

That's what makes JP special to me and he even mentioned it. People who listen to him already knew what he said that but couldn't put it into words. It ties in with Socrates' vision of learning as rediscovering what your soul already knew but memory had lost due to birth trauma.

Same here. Although I did get in trouble a lot lol. But I don’t give a fuck. The world will hear what I have to say and I don’t care who gets hurt

@@DreadNawght Reminds me of the George Orwell Quote from 1984, “The best books…”, Winston perceived, “are those that tell you what you know already.”

Jamel Jarvis That's classic Peterson.

You survived so you could be yourself and seek happiness. You are no less human for having received a second chance, and have every right to be sad, happy, lazy, get a job you are passionate about, and so on. Think about this: the people you got the organs from. It was their turn to go. Your turn to go will also come one day. They would have left anyway. They did not die so you could get the organs. They died because it was, sadly, their turn to go. Go on and live like any normal person. Good days, bad days. Just regular stuff.

Astrology and numerology says alot. This cystem sucks, puberty isnt honour or understood, cookie cutter irrelevant school is evil Awaken by david icke. Get a cheap rv and live like a king at a cheap park somewhere idk. How do our congress live off 16k a month? Where the press?

Mason morgan jeez mason don’t you know that man wasn’t Jesus - he didn’t die to save you. He was dying and in passing he gave you a gift. In so doing he probably redeemed himself. So in fact you did him a favour by being there for him - you gave him redemption, the greatest gift of all. The Hopi tribe (and others) believe that if you save a mans life you are responsible for him thereafter. Not the other way round. The universe is a strange place Mason. You need to open your mind to see how it really works. You have the time to do it, just remember you gave your donor the greatest gift of all- when you were an infant for god’s sake. There may be even more greatness in you. Keep the faith man.

It’s a little late, but can you be more specific?

Precisely

@BrazilianFlow I'm trying to get on your level!

@BrazilianFlow Might be the recipe for world peace there. Will embrace the donut!

the donut or torus is the fractal fabric of everything and nothing jesus and bhudda its the only science of implosion and explosion creation and destruction, rodin’s math explains the 3 6 9 better than tesla ever could , ken wheeler explains where science is perverted non sensical bullshit and everything is electromagnetic including gravity we are all connected in the aether faster than speed of light instantaneous consciousness , our universe is die electric a torus just like a magnet with electric filings on a piece of paper, our bodies are the same torus with an electromagnetic field from the heart measurable to 30 feet in diameter, the earth is the same as is everything even to plancks length the same fractal pattern of donuts with infinitely small hole at centre where everything is created and destroyed NOW there is no past or future , we are consciousness here to experience duality or indivi’duality’ from ONE infinite consciousness infinite possibilities we are gods and god here to experience and create heaven and hell while we “LIVE or EVIL” ... not the deception of after we die ...we are eternal gods and god we all make our own religions own creation change yourself you change the world everything appears differently. we are the ripple of an infinite sea of consciousness when infinite sound waves cancel each other to complete silence we are the chaos that makes music the tiny imbalance outside of that source of infinite frequency that we connect to instantaneously together at the center of a donut 2 vortices spinning in and out infinitely fast infinitely slow infinitely large and small time and no time we are the donut you can hate it or love it consume it or ignore it create it or destroy it do all these things become the donut you were meant to be NOW

Love this thread 😭🙏🏼❤️

The donut is your shadow, or the resentment of it?

😂

Especially for a demon

It was the same with me. I took same psychoanalytic seanses last year and realesed my anger, anxiety which had been kept since my early childhood. I think you had better find a good psychoanalyst who knows reichan, jungian psychology well. Now I rarely act like a child and my family also have started to see me as a mature person.

...even better... don't let people pull you into their grave...

That means that you needed to hear it. our societies, mainly through primary education, are cultivating a generation of beta males through indoctrination and conformity. They do this because betas are more obedient and easier to control... until some of them manifest their shadows into antisocial monsters. Like Jordan suggests, unflinching radical honesty toward the self and toward others is the path to walk if you want to cultivate and control your shadow.

@John Daedalus kids

@John Daedalus young men who grew up without fathers are oblivious to many things that seem like common sense

@John Daedalus I think he said by being a mean son of a bitch is how you fix things that don't go your way. Problems just get the hell out of your way if you have the persona of a bully. He is teaching his students to be a bigger monster than the dragon in order to slay it. I just hope that no naive person took it literally and go and kill somebody. Watch out Satan -- you have competition.

@John Daedalus Listen to him again and again and closely. He said don't be a nice guy. A nice guy is a beta male. A nice guy appears to be moral. Morality is a disguise for cowardice. If you are a nice guy then you are a coward. Society trains you to be a nice guy. Your true self is not a nice guy. Being a nice guy is just taking on a persona, a mask for public consumption, not your true self. You need to discover and develop your true self which is dark and dangerous. 5:18 "It's really useful to be dangerous". You develop your true self by being resentful, in other word, angry. That will take you out of your nice guy persona. He also indicates that nice guys are losers whom women tend to reject. Young men are drawn to him because they think he can help them with women. Young impressionable men are drawn to him like a prophet. The Truly dangerous person here is Peterson. Watch out civilized world.

Sounds much more accurate.

Sounds legit

Saliga äro de ödmjuka, ty de skall ärva jorden. "blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth"

In the Aramaic Hebrew it means something like a powerful beast like a horse, that can be destructive and yet obeys his master. that does fit as being meek. I believe Jordan Peterson uses it quite well. This is also one of the gifts of the Ruach sighted in scripture. Scriptures also mentions being a protector of those that need it. This is an example of when the meek shows strength.

Tf??? Because Swedish would have been the more likely and obvious translation of the fucking bible.... To a slave moralist. Gross
