"The only way to find true contentment is to live in alignment with our own values and desires, rather than seeking external validation." - Seneca

“Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be One.” - Marcus Aurelius

The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek - Joseph Campbell

We are a saint and sinner, a nice person and a nasty one, a weak and strong person, etc. we can never just be half the side of a coin without the other contrasting side. One side would have no meaning without the other. If we don’t own our shadow it will own you. Your shadow will face you at every turn. Of course with ownership comes responsibility.

Facing inward, questioning how your identity was molded throughout childhood. Those external influences; your parents, your siblings, and your peers...their unhealed wounds were most likely, unintentionally projected upon you as a child, creating your belief system about the world around you and about yourself. As you peel away the false beliefs, biases and insecurities you will discover hidden all along, your greatest strengths, growth, and your purpose.

While embarking on this profound journey of self discovery, be very very kind to yourself, shadow or otherwise

When you start working on yourself watch out for the nay Sayers. Think about how static that is to stand in the way of people who want to do well, and be a light in the dark. It's just that your light is casting a shadow on them, it's easier to point a finger than to walk in the light too. Pride keeps people where they are stuck, and it's intimidating to see others press forward. They thought they had all the answers. These same people who tell you your goals are dumb have made knocking others down their goal. They missed their dream and they can't stand to see you get yours.

I find it is most terrifying to choose and step into our most idealistic and best self. This takes the most work and sacrifice. It is truly scary and yet is what haunts us when we know we shortchanged ourselves. The shadow is childsplay in comparison. Giving into ones desires when it doesn't require sacrifice is a cakewalk

“The Shadow “ begins at 10:15 … great video! I just learned my shadow side … very profound actually!

good to see that it is still possible to find content on youtube that is meaningful, substantial and helpful. Thanks and appreciation.

"We three, were all alone. Living in a memory. My echo, my shadow, and me."

The greatest work in life, the greatest journey, the greatest purpose....is an internal one. To learn about one's self, understand one's conditioning, to dive deep into one's psyche and soul. I've been doing more mindfulness to help with this, using books like 30 Days to Discover Who I Am by Harper Daniels and The Power of Now.

I love this video! I have seen a lot of videos on the subject, but this specific one makes you really want to embark on a journey of discovering and implementing your shadow self. It inspires action. Thank you for your great work. I wish you and your channel great success because you really bring value to people.

that beginning quote. Honestly, I needed that.

Thank for creating and sharing this video. It’s one of the best summations, descriptions and justifications for shadow work.

My dark side suddenly stopped moving and was listening, curious if I agreed with what we heard. Thank you

It is nice to see a content creator talk about this subject using their own experience. Thank you! I've seen others use and twist Jung's content on shadow work to create fear and illusion. If you fail to know your shadow self you are very susceptible to the trap of influence outside your own experience. Bernaysian psychology can be dangerous and Knowing yourself allows you to know the pitfalls of man and the shadow self triggering influence of others which can provoke you to coagulate with the irrational madness of the mindless beast mob. R.D. Laing's work involving subconscious game theory was also helpful in understanding myself in order to understand others better as well as myself, driving compassion and understanding. Those that haven't found it yet check out Adam Curtis's three part series called "The Trap" you won't regret it.

When taking shots of failure, I follow them with success chasers.

This video has awaken awareness of my hidden traits I didn't know I needed that much. Thank you SO MUCH

Wow, thanks for sharing this incredible content on Carl Jung's psychology! It's so thought-provoking how Jung emphasizes the importance of confronting our dark sides for personal growth. His insights into the shadow self and the concept of individuation really resonate with me. Can't wait to delve deeper into this!

I am in conflict with my values often because of my success. I can’t get into what I do, but my biggest fear is becoming a monster. A lot of lives are in my hands as a result of my success and if I ever decide to stop caring, there are no consequences. I think this may be good advice first those who need to make the first few jumps to success but so many of us that are successful have walked a path to the precipice of darkness. I can’t let myself validate the abyss.

Every single one of this world Has a dark side As well as A Divine Light side Dark side is not your true self It's the side which you need to Conquer And Your Divine Light side 🕯️ Is your true self Which is inbuilt within you Which is need to be Explore 🌼🌺

"I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand on Bleeker Street" - Paul Simon

Every video is a true gem within this universe, thank you for what you do🙏🏾

Well explained 👏🏽 great video about authenticity & embracing your shadow 😊❤🙏🏽

You Learn me something! Your Shadow is your unsatisfied self! Your unconscious Aspects! Something to work on! Many Thanks Sir!🙂🙂🙂

My shadow likes Doritos.

My shadow is a destroyer. The person described as psychopath. Intent on eliminating any one or thing that stand before me. It is always there tempting me to do as I wish.

I am light. Have no fear ....no depression certainly no anxiety. Sorry to disappoint you again.

Thank you. The first video of the kind explaining what is the value of "growth" and why it can be the goal by itself

Thank you for these videos I always listen while at work. Extremely insightful video. 👏🏽

Here's the problem I have with Carl Jung's shadow theory and how facing your shadow can involve some type of revolutionary growth or self-acceptance or unification. What if your shadow was that you really want to murder people? What if your shadow was that you want to be homosexual even though it may not be acceptable or even good for you? What if your shadow was that you have a lust for power and you really want to go get that power? What if your shadow were things that were based around desires driven by genetics that are not working correctly, which would make you an immoral human being? What about then? So how is this ideal of facing your shadow or integrating your shadow inherently good when the shadow, the subconscious, could be harboring things that are not good for the world that you should not embrace?

Our social contracts create shadows that inevitably combat with Norms that have excised valuable attributes to attain equilibrium.

My👣shadow is light✨because my☀️Soul is🕯️Bright🎺😎!

Superb work you've done here. Definitely one I will store and look back on from time to time..Thank you so much.

I guess I have been wanting a fulfilling and delighted life.

My shadow is being average, normal, nothing special. I wasted countless opportunities in life due to lies , i lie to myself and others im more, better, that i am in fact. I would hide, change jobs , manipulate... Literally anything to face myself, my average performance, maybe a little below average... I nearly ruined my whole career, .. i almost lead myself to death not to reveal the scale of this catastrophy. Thre. Meet my shadow. Avarage man. It took me 30+ years to name it. Finally. Im speechless. Really don't know what to do with it. Wish me luck. Be smarter then me. Bless you stranger.

My goodness. Your message is great, of course, but I was mesmerized by your voice and your artistry! Thank you for sharing all those things with us, Amir.

Super wonderful, hugely: helpful, clarifying, supportive, inspirational and many other positivo adjectives. Thank you very very much...

Incredible. I am changed by thoroughly viewing this over the past couple hours. Thank you.

Thank-you. I needed this today. Blessed Be.

i love carl jung so much what i love more about him is that he is deeply rooted in christianity and god

Didn’t think I’d like this video when it first started playing but I’m extremely glad I did. Thank you

This is something trans people used to teach within indigenous cultures as berdache shamans and healers, and in the current time they embody that journey openly for all to see. So we could witness what it takes to embrace our shadow, because if it does not destroy the norms or beliefs, it is still a victim of the sociert afraid to come out. Our shadow hides our highest potential to rewire the nature of reality and bring great destruction to the world in order to re-build it from the ground up. Our shadow is a beast that is needed because it contains the fire necessary for the passion to lead one's life.

It takes a lot of work to be a complete, well-rounded, disciplined, insightful, emotionally balanced, compassionate, spiritual person; countless hours, more intensive than any university course, a lifelong endeavour, I'm still working on it.

The crucial question is how to do this while working a demanding job? Our brains can't process dedication to two different deep things at the same time. It's why we have sayings like 'If you put your feet in two boats you'll fall in deep water', possibly because they would go in different directions. I struggle with this cuz just when I need a little more time to figure something out about myself, I am pulled away to attend to something I only care about because it brings in money to pay the rent.

Thank-you for such an awesome production.

my shadow is an absolute monster.

Incredible wisdom

This is a good video. Thank you.

High quality content! 🤩

Words meant for me, right now 🙏🏼❣️🌟

I had two shadows. A father and a son I believe within. They were only trying to help me. I know that now.

This is not an invitation to another trip...it is THE JOURNEY..

This was quite in depth and a nice reminder. It would have been nice to get a bunch of examples of what a shadow side is, more actionable advice and maybe journaling prompts.

This is nothing other than a synopsis of Jungian beliefs and concepts. It provides not a single practical step for embarking on the journey of bringing the shadow into the light. In that sense, it is dangerous. There are hundreds of reasons for anxiety and depression and they are much more complex than simply denying a part of the self. Consider the abused and ir emtionally neglected child. Consider the young sex trafficked woman and young men. Consider the 11 year old bride. Consider the female child subjected to genital mutilation. The list of other thing to consider when reflecting on the incorporation of the shadow into the whole personality is ling and deeply complex. The journey advised in this deep sounding, but essentially superficial video, is not one to be embarked upon lightly or alone. There is a need for a wise, fully integrated guide or at least companion. Beginning in my early 30's I read all of Jung in an attempt to make sense of my life. What helped me the most was a young therapist who used many different approaches, among them Fritz Perls' theory of Gestalt therapy. Perls believes we are are born whole, but that in order to survive--literally in early infancy when we must rely on our caretakers to remain alive--we cut off parts of our personalities that either threaten or displease those caretakers. He goes on to posit that the choices we make, no matter how illogical or even self-destructive they may appear on the surface, have a logic of their own: to get back to the whole entity we were at birth. The choices are, in a sense, clues to the parts we have sacrificed. The process involves analysing dreams and, most helpful of all, having conversations with the various parts of yourself in which you actually change seats to become the other part. Be careful what you take away from this video. You can find yourself lost in deep darkness, you can lose your way and cause damage to your psyche. Pay attention. The difficulties and fears referred to in this video can be overwhelming and terrifying. Jung never meant for this journey to be taken alone. Lastly, the "Ubermensch" posited by Nietzsche was what fueled the Nazis and their horrifying campaign of genocide. We see the same occurring in front of our eyes today in the war betwee6 Israel and Gaza; Russia and Ukraine. In both cases the leaders and those who support those leaders, there is a lack of self awareness, a failure to confront the shadow, but only to act on it. The same can be seen in the United States with trump's ambition to be the ruling dictator of an autocracy. Be careful.

One thoroughgoing failure is worth a lifetime of timidly not trying.

Thank you for your work bro

Maybe the video is interesting, but when you start with a quotation taken without proper research, that is inaccurate, it's hard to watch the whole video. Jung never said: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate”. Jung did say in Aion: "The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. That is to say, when the individual remains undivided and does not become conscious of his inner opposite, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposing halves."

I just don’t like the reference to dark and light which means good and bad. It just is. To me I don’t like negative and positive, good and bad - judgement. They are all real and just are there, all mixed up together one reflects the other.

I am impressed by your tone, soothing; the depth and conciseness of your expose! And your illustrations, amazing, wjat is the software? Is it your drawing? On the content reach, i appreciate the Yung's horizon summary that you provide here. Much love...and Integration! 🎆

Your dark side is not your true self or a part of your true self. Your true self is who you were before you developed a dark side. You should overcome darkness, not embrace it.

Ive read a lot of Gabriella burnstein this is a lot of where she relates to and infirms about.. Facing your fear.. ect. She is so inspiring.. I found her when she first came to england over 20 years ago.. guieded me severaly time over the years. She has written many books, May cause Miricals is a good one.

Thank you for your inspiration to continue my journey of self discovery, bless you.

“We are underdeveloped humans only using a small percentage of our potential” Joe

Great video my brother!

Well done ... very well done

Thank you for posting, I’m ready to start.

Some doors are left better closed

In reality, our dark🌑side,🤔is the unknown🕶️ part of Our🧘Selves. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's evil 🙈, but only because WE=mc2 do not 🚫 know "IT" yet, but once IT is known, "IT" should cheer, not scare US. WE=mc2 are "IT"!

Ultimate BEST video ever. Thank you for the knowledge and TRUTH.

Brilliant take on the “shadow”.

How do you know if what youre believing is false or not? How do you find your way back?

I am profoundly distraught at the fact that people always describe the anima and animus wrong. It's totally weird, and no they are not archetypes.

Amazing content, thank you so much!

My shadow would make me the monster they want me to be. But my shadow would shut them the fuck up and leave me alone forever

Thank you so much! I like to listen to your beautiful voice

¡Gracias!

So, when someone appears arrogant i am supposed to gaslight myself and start believing that i am arrogant instead because that hints at my own shadow ? Sorry, but i‘m not gonna swallow that. I can acknowledge that i have the potential for arrogance but i‘m not gonna defend an attacker for attacking me… i can choose to acknowledge their behavior, not take it personal and not write that person off, but still go seperate ways.

Thank you.

You ever become who you really are, then turn back from your real self to your old self? Knowing that one day you may need the new self, you keep him on a shelf? I’m a combat vet…. I’m a father of 3 and a husband…. I’m not the guy I used to be, but he’s certainly in standby in the event he’s needed. I carry a pen because it’s mightier than the sword…. But I always carry a sword….. sometimes diplomacy fails, and when it does, I’m your huckleberry.

Does anyone likes arragance in others? Can we not dislike it simply because it is unhealthy behaviour? Should we like it when a person yells at us? If we dont like it does it mean I also have an aspect that loves to yell at people or can we just not like it because we respect ourselves and therefor refuse to be yelled at? Same goes for littering. I strongly dislike it when others violate nature by littering. Is that a shadow or is that my love for nature in action?

I do agree with the power that lies within the shadow. Fifth year into shadow work, and I have developed a sort of shadow persona, that's an amalgamation of all my trauma. Its so good to let the little rat out once in a while, especially when people ask for it😂 (I'm not violent, just a bratty lil twink)

😊 NIICE!

Snoked weed to this, saw pictures off all The people i have harmed. Stopping now and have learned my lesson

Thank you for this!

I feel multidimensionally constipated. Our society collectivizes as instructed by media and the ensuing dog-pack mentality. I wish there was someone i could talk to who knew the roads to navigate. I feel so alone, yet know there's plenty of others in the same situation. Good luck to everyone in limbo.

Very well, thank you💙

great video

Thank you for this powerful share

Great work.

I would have liked to have heard some practical advice for the intergration part though

Not everyone is meant to believe in God. Only some are chosen. My husband believes he is a God. And he is. I was chosen by Jesus. Just as some have been chosen. We accept each other for our adversities.

Thank you for the video..

Thank YOU ❤

Wow!!! How profound! And also what a treat for my eyes and ears! 🫶

Beautifully sums up Jungian theory 🙏

Thanks!

Nicely put!!!!
