Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung (1875-1961) is famous for coining the term collective unconscious and popularising archetypes. In his research and practice he focused on the process of an individual becoming just that, an individual. One of his most profound ideas is in relation to the shadow.
He felt that while it is tempting to try and rid ourselves of the darker aspects of our personality, in reality, to remove the dark entirely is to become formless, for ‘every object has its shadow side’. By denying our faults or projecting them onto others, we merely push them further into the shadow, where they swell over time and influence our actions through the subconsious.
As an antidote, Jung suggests we put aside the idea of being a perfect person. It doesn’t exist. Instead, we accept wholeness. We invite repressed aspects of our personality out of the shadow and into the light. Make peace with ourselves. And through that process help ensure our potential for good prevails against its counterpart.
