"We are not imagining figures of light illuminates but making the darkness conscious "Carl Gustav Jung According to Carl Jung, there are three fundamental archetypes that have considerable influence on the psyche of men and women they are: the Shadow, the Anima el'Animus.
Jung recognized Frederick Nietzsche in a deep understanding and a willingness to confront the dark shadows and irrational forces that dwell under the facade of our civilized humanity.
therefore availed himself largely of descriptions of the great German philosopher, to state the contents of the three major archetypes, which among other things, shows how the philosophy of Nietzsche, containing at times, deeply respects esoteric and enlightening about the journey taken by the common man, to overcome its limitations, in order to become a "superman", or if you want a "hero."
According to Jung, the entrance in the dark parts of our personalities, to point to enhance them and consider them important, real and functional, as well as the conscious, is the basic prerequisite of any form of self-knowledge, and as such, requires a significant moral commitment.
Take note that the evil that we think of others, usually, a transposition of the hostility shown towards aspects of us which we have no conscience, means addressing the problem of good and evil with greater authenticity and free filters and freed from the shackles of the dominant ideologies.
This process is similar to Dante's journey through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, Entronauta is confronted with the contents of his shadow, that is, with those aspects of his personality consciously rejected but in fact owned and intensely feared; aspects which are essentially emotional and often characterized by obsessive possessiveness and at the same time with a sort of independent life.
In this regard, Jung describes the emotion as an activity that happens to individuals, rather than an 'activity of individuals, coming thus to reinforce the connotation of autonomy of certain aspects of the psyche, such as the Shadow.
Shadow expresses the set of uncontrolled and channeled those emotions that often lead the individual to act as a primitive, and yet to find himself the victim of his own uncontrollable emotions that eventually lead to an inability to any feedback morale.
An example is exaggerated, lent by Robert Louis Stevenson, a great connoisseur of the Shadow, in his timeless "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
Literature and film are full of examples of the presence and function of the Shadow, just think of the "Duelists" of Ridley Scott or "Apocalypse Now" by Francis Ford Coppola's film version of the opera "Heart of Darkness" by another expert Shadow: Joseph Conrad.
Although it is possible, incorporate much of the content of his own shadow, with a continued commitment of analysis on themselves, unfortunately, many aspects are difficult to penetrate, and is often almost impossible to identify them in order to demonstrate their destructive influence in the life of the individual. These issues are generally associated with those projections are more difficult to recover because it is not recognized as such and, therefore, considered facts.
Their recognition, and their integration, is an activity that goes far beyond the ordinary state of consciousness of most.
Jung defines projection as "the situation in which it invests another person or an object of quality and notions that belong to ourselves."
feelings, images and thoughts can easily be projected on what or who we surroundings, and if the individual demonstrates a lack of ability to recover and all'introiezione of its projections, as vocabulary is defined analytical process of this embodiment, these will become increasingly strong and take control of the personality in the pursuit of their objectives.
Keep in mind that it is not the conscious part of the personality to make the projection, but unconscious, so the projection is not something that we do, but are something that we can meet.
projections exist regardless of our ability to recognize or deny, are a direct result of our share of the obscure and undeveloped, acting for itself and have the specificity to create a state of isolation of the individual from his environment.
Instead of a genuine relationship between us and our bodies, between us and the other, the nature of us, we will have a report illusory, a kind of replay of the unknown on our side or our shadow, which we imposition of a size and autoerotic autistic Feeler where you end up with dreams of becoming victims of reach.
The inevitable sense of sterility that inevitably follows, is most often interpreted as a kind of malice on the part of the environment, which inevitably has the effect of further exacerbating the condition of isolation.
Shadow eslusivamente individual has no value, we can see signs of its existence to the collective level also, the political struggle, war and even the social life is a shadow play in which each group projected onto its antagonist content non-integrated parts of his own shadow, but along with these there are projections also positive in contrast to the belligerence translate into blind fanaticism.
be able to recover these projections requires a refinement and an expansion of consciousness, but there is an action where necessary the individual should come to conquer a more human, free from blind fanaticism bearers of struggle and bloodshed. Paradoxically
enters its shadow is equal to distance themselves from those states of euphoria
That the consumer society with amply supports the various ideologies and the use of all sorts of drugs.
enter the territory of the Shadow acosta amounts to a renewed understanding to the deprivation of depression platitudes with which spseesimo is misunderstood and demonized.
means making peace with ourselves, with our wounds, the limits resulting from them, but at the same time be open to wider horizons of knowledge, love and peace, at which point the landfill full of rottenness derived from the denial of Qantar is disregarded at the individual and social has the opportunity to magically turn into an unexpected source of life and healing.
