What The Wounded Child Within Every Human Looks Like

In The Way of Mastery we recognize two aspects of what Carl Jung called the Shadow.

1) The Shadow itself which is invisible to you and can only been see as your judgmental and condemnatory projections onto others

2) The Wounded Child which is the aspect of The Shadow you can see in your irrational irresponsible self destructive emotionally infantile (i.e. triggered) behaviour.

Anytime you are triggered you are in effect being possessed by your Wounded Child and this causes you to be incapable of rational thought or responsibility because the voice in the head that never shuts up that you think is you but is not you is completely under the thrall of an emotional toddler.

An emotional toddler that can not only not listen to reason but is utterly incapable of taking responsibility for their actions because The Wounded Child's perception of it's own victimhood is pathological and permanent.

Someone possessed by their Wounded Child could be caught shooting someone in the face on CCTV and when the footage is played back to them in the police station they would genuinely argue that they are the victim of that person lying on the floor showering them with blood and brains and skull without their consent.

No joke, that is what the permanent pathological victimhood of The Wounded Child/Shadow is like.

If you have ever been part of a family of human beings and if you have ever been in a relationship with another human being you have seen this pathologically irresponsible permanent victim emotional toddler possess you parents siblings and significant other dozens if not hundreds of times.

And they have seen it possess you just as often.

I like to say that Wounded Child Possession and Shadow Projection IS the human condition - for which the only way out, is IN i.e. Ego Transcendence.

Also I'd be lying if I didn't admit the frisson of schadenfreude I get from watching wounded child possessed people receive the karmic reward for their behaviour 😈

They remind me that non dual reality is perfectly balanced 🤣

p.s. Note in almost every clip that as soon as the Wounded Child possessed person realizes that bullshit, anger threats and bullying are not going to work they immediately switch to victimhood and cry about how unfair this is because they didn't do anything wrong and it's the cops that are the bad guys for arresting them.

I call this the Victim-Bully shuffle and it is the Wounded Child's go to tactic for escaping responsibility for it's actions.

Most of the time it works because children parents and spouses don't have the power to physically restrain Victim-Bullies and take them to jail and so usually they just give in to the bullying/victimhood just to preserve the peace.

That's why I enjoy these videos so much. Anyone who can act like this with the police has most definitely spent years acting far far worse with their family and spouse making their lives a living hell and getting away with it.

SO watching them experience a taste of their own medicine for a change by coming up against someone they can't bully but sure as hell can bully them, is a thing of beauty 😍
