WEEK 4: THE COLLECTIVE

SHADOW WORK

THE HUMAN SHADOW IS ANY ASPECT OF A PERSON THAT IS NOT EXPOSED TO THE RIGHT OF THEIR OWN CONSCIOUSNESS! 

We are born whole but since we are brought up dependent as children from our parents that wholeness is short-lived. Brought into a society that has not yet completely evolved, based off of the perspectives of what is acceptable and not acceptable. That’s where we start to try to disown ourselves from parts that are not accepted by that society. Dissociating ourselves from our true self creates a split which is what we call the conscious & unconscious. 

This is the first act of self-rejection, when we deny or disown ourselves it will never just disappear. 

Why is it that every time I pass by a cemetery I pray unconsciously? 

Because to face it is to confront a pain! For the sake of being loved or liked by others including our higher concious. 

Carl Jung was actually the first person to take notice of this – he noticed that as humans we have aspects about ourselves that we are completely unaware of.

CONSCIOUSNESS IS A LIGHT BECAUSE WE ARE AWARE OF IT AND CAN SEE IT!  

Now Everything that lives in the UNCONSCIOUSNESS that self of you is what we call the SHADOW!
