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.
