have you done shadow work?
carl jung had this philosophy that every men and woman has a darkness within them that is dark and trully evil. a part of us that will kill and hurt with no emotions.
have you done shadow work?
ive done it myself. i remember the time when i was a kid. i used to get bullied by the other guys who are bigger than me so i develop my own defensive response which is MANIPULATION. i manipulated every 4th grader in my class because thats my means of protection and it worked. im in the shadow acting out and being nice to the point every kid thinks im a good person.
few years later. i now found another way to protect my self (MARTIAL ARTS). i realised i dont really need to manipulate anymore to protect myself. i could just hurt them.
its 8th grade, first day of school, random kid makes fun of me. goes up to him with no thoughts except the want to made him taste his blood with a uppercut whilst his sitting on his chair. i punched him then i see grab me, he is lost, im about to fall on ground and pound this kid but i was stopped. im still upset about that i was that close to really making him feel more pain.
i did some shadow work and i made lots of progress somewhat containing the shadow. not really containing but using for actual good.
i've used it alot in martial arts,sports, wanting to achieve and currently my business.
