The first layer we encounter in the unconscious is what Jung called the shadow, usually those parts of ourselves we don’t like, don’t know, or don’t want to know. The shadow can be repressed within us, like a cancer, or projected outward onto others as qualities we dislike most in a person or group. The negative shadow can present us with a shortcoming to be overcome. The positive can show us a meaningful part of ourselves that we should recognise and live out.

Most interesting, Aladin.
I need to ponder this shadow.
Only a paragraph, but filled with grist for the mill.
Thank you!

Jung was fascinating. It seems that the shadow selves are becoming the more prominent persona these days. If only they could be used to grow. We are a species needing psychotherapy.
