That means living alone forever
Seneca did not have an understanding of the unconscious. Nor did he understand The Shadow, emotional repression, hidden programming, or PTSD. These things will run one's life regardless of living aligned with values and desires.

The cave I fear to enter has no treasure in it I assure you
@brandonleroux6059 Because you're ego is preventing you from seeing it. Disconnect from self-judgment using meditation; once relaxed, get into the cave as if you were an outsider, ask permission from your subconscious to be a witness, and offer no judgment, only to see. Eventually, after practice, you will start finding many unforeseen treasures.
@@yaoskarojas2344 I'm afraid its just cheese and a bible for me. Okay its mostly just the cheese. I hate fiction anyway. I'm a realist. I gave it thought and narrowed it down. It must be a cave full of cheese. I wont settle for less. But not just wheels but like pre-cut slices and wedges a plenty too so I can grab and eat as I wonder through my cave of cheese. Flippen lord what I wouldn't give for a piece of camembert now.
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.
That's it. Well said, never seen put it togeter like that. Thank you!

I have owned a lot of my shadow but there is still work to do.
Checkout. Warrior poet.
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.
This is just beyond beautiful... Thank you
❤
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.
My dark side suddenly stopped moving and was listening, curious if I agreed with what we heard. Thank you
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.
Thank for creating and sharing this video. It’s one of the best summations, descriptions and justifications for shadow work.
“The Shadow “ begins at 10:15 … great video! I just learned my shadow side … very profound actually!
@@REL602 the shadow is “the hidden aspects of your psyche.” Basically, the opposite or the unknown aspects of who you think you are.It’s basically trying to help you pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses, so you can become that person you admire and are afraid of being.

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

Thank you for this!
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"

Nicely put!!!!
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 the video..
Great work.
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
Words meant for me, right now 🙏🏼❣️🌟
Thank you for this powerful share

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

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.
I feel like you acknowledged your darker self then. The best way not to fall is to remind yourself how close the cliff is. Know that you can slip and then remind yourself every day what happens if you fall into that abyss.
High quality content! 🤩
Very good video!

Such a lovely video. Brilliant ❤. I am not ok. I am in pain, a hear full of pain. Shame and fear , constantly afraid to show my pain and sadness, full of shame to show my vulnerability and pain. I am not ok , and that's ok❤. I am exploring, acknowledging accepting and integrating lifetimes of suppressed emotions, a lifetime of unexpressed love , I am not ok! And that's ok❤ shadows are my fear of expressing Love ❤
Beautiful voice ❤
Love this❤️

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.
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?
There’s a difference between allowing it to surface and actually acting out on it. It’s fine to surface, acknowledge, and let go! It must flow through us instead of pushing it back down. That’s what must be done so that it no longer rules our lives.
This doesn’t mean act out on it! Please don’t. But to acknowledge it for healing is the idea.
@@katielittle4173 I understand your point about acknowledging certain thoughts instead of suppressing them. However, I believe that in recognizing these thoughts, we inadvertently give them legitimacy, which can be appropriate in some contexts. Yet, this approach has inherent risks. Without detailed explanation, it might lead people to accept and internalize beliefs or behaviors that are detrimental. This could result in actions that are not beneficial, or beliefs about themselves that are inaccurate. More so, diverging from socially accepted norms can significantly impact a person’s psyche. By acknowledging these as aspects of a 'shadowed self' or hidden desires, we risk creating a dangerous situation where individuals might stray into harmful territory. This concept, while intriguing, seems perilous and insufficiently substantiated for safe practice.
The integrated self doesn't have to take thoughts personally.
Excellent

Yo... An Amazing vid....🎉😮
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 don't see that as the message at all. (here) It's about integrating that dark side and not totally conquering it. Make it benefit you to be more authenic.
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.

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.
mine too but we can exert restraint when needed and learn to live in harmony with it i think
@@a99942 my life is in turmoil. I feel like ripping myself in half just to stop the conflicting throughts.
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.
No, it suggests that perhaps you are bothered by this person's arrogance because it represents a quality that you wish you had in yourself but have been repressing. Perhaps you wish you stood up for yourself more, or that you had that person's outward confidence.
@@kubon101nah. Much of this is presupposition.
It’s difficult realizing you’re actually arrogant. Only a strong person can admit it. I hope you get there some day.
@@joebeezy9471 i have to get a bit more specific: don’t you find it disgusting when a woman over 30 is making a laughing stock out of a man‘s body parts and height… if you think that me acknowledging that as a despicable type of arrogance makes me arrogant then you surely have some philosophical discourse up your sleeve i might‘ve missed in my studies.
OP: *Shadow activates*
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.
Sometimes I wish I had the Superpower to stop time for *everybody else* so I can go and ponder and read the necessary books and do the necessary work. I’d love to pull back and be a hermit for awhile, but life would still go on and there would be holidays and birthdays I’d miss and other important things with the people I love and value.
@@daisyviluck7932 IKR!! I'm glad to have found a fellow who thinks the same. I just said this exact same thing to my therapist yesterday.
@@ladybookworms 🤣🤣🤣
Our brains can!! The limitations are yours. Created by you. Accepted by you.
@@XTRABIG I find it difficult to focus when I have to keep switching between tasks. My problem is the impending work-related task acts like the elephant in the room and when I try to do one thing and focus on it, I completely forget that the world exists let alone the other task/work-stuff. I am so on edge about forgetting my work that in the end I can't do anything.
It's more of my ability to 100% completely focus on a thing gets in my way and since I live alone I don't have anyone (apart from alarms) to nudge/poke/remind me that other things exist. It is easy for me to get stuck in doing a thing in full focus and deep detail like the protagonist of Tolkien's Leaf by Niggle.
Any ideas? I am aware that for certain types (personality types?) of people this seems easier to do than for others.

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’m new at the idea of shadow work. However the way I think of it is how strongly we react to arrogance, injustice or cruelty. If our response seems a little over the top then that may be our shadow. And we need to delve into why such a strong reaction

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.

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.
This process is arduous. Confusing. I focused heavily on your suggestion that our individual choices however destructive they may be appear are actually a part of the process to become whole.
There is more danger in NOT confronting the shadow
