JEKYLL AND HYDE
In every story there is a hero and a villain
In ur story u’re both
All the bright aspects & all the dark aspects of yourself
Orchestrate the meleody of ur song
A song that u need to hear first
Before anyone else.
In order to hear it, u have to listen
To listen not only to what u want
But also to what u are afraid of
Your fears & your darknes aren’t detach from u
Face them, internalize them, analyze them
The shadow is always there & will always be.
But it can look big or small depending on the angle
From which the light caresses u.
What is the size of ur shadow?
If I personally love Carl Gustav Jung’s work ,
Its because its one of the few that has attempted to bridge
The notions of psychology & spirituality
In an effort to discover ways to transcend the human condition.
I guess we are all familiar to the concepts of Jung
Taking into consideration the ego, the archetypes, the anima/animus
And the Self.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality,
(especially in a judeo-christian society where people reject evil & play the good ones)
For no one can become conscious of it without considerable moral effort
It involves recognizing the dark aspects of our personality
As present & real.
This act is the essential & a condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
So how did the world get there?
[SUBJECT: OUR SHADOWS]
We look at the world right now & I guess we can all agree it’s a damn MESS
The hidden madness of the collective Unconscious has been projected into matter
I came to the conclusion that it is caused by a huge lack of introspection
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE QUESTION OUR REALITY?
What we keep on escaping in ourselves, all the dirt of our being that we project into the world & other people, is by far, the biggest issue
Its easier to point others than looking at ourselves from close
Fact is, owning our shadows is a great gift for oneself but for humanity too
Once we acknowledge and bring into the light of consciousness the worst of ourselves,
Our life stop being led by it, we can have more compassion for others behavior
And we stop transferring on others our own inner darkness
Result: a healthier, human and respectful world.
