First, one must find a way to resolve and balance one’s internal conflict by knowing one’s Shadow; that is all I can say for now! I might do that, as my mind is desperately seeking a calm sanctuary within my soul to find peace!

“My I, you are a barbarian. I want to live with you; therefore, I will carry you through an utterly medieval Hell until you are capable of making living with you bearable. You should be the vessel and womb of life; therefore, I shall purify you. The touchstone is being alone with oneself. This is the way.” ~Carl Jung, The Red Book, Page 330.

Carl Gustav Jung: “What drives people to war with themselves is the suspicion or the knowledge that they consist of two persons in opposition to one another. The conflict may be between the sensual and the spiritual man, or between the Ego and the Shadow. It is what Faust means when he says: ‘Two souls, alas, are housed within my breast.’ A neurosis is a splitting of personality.”
