Reverse engineering projections is highly beneficial and so easy to do once you become more aware. I use this all the time. Key thing to remember is whatever causes an immediate, visceral, emotional reaction, whether positive or negative, is a projection. For example, a few years ago while driving I noticed I'd always get frustrated by a car in front of me taking too long to make a right turn, causing me to slow down excessively. I found myself beeping my horn and yelling, "Let's go already!" Taking a deep breath, I immediately knew this was projection. Was I seriously upset with someone taking too long to go in their desired direction? No, I was upset at my own inability to do the same. I needed to change course in my life. I knew where I wanted to go, I just had to get on with it and "make the turn already!" This projection related to frustration over wasting free time on things that didn't matter instead of writing more. These habits no longer served me yet I would not let them go. I said the truth to myself out loud in the car, and felt the tingle the body gives when reciting a truth that needs to be made conscious.

At the core of the shadow is self loathing. That is where all of our negative emotions and behavior comes from. If you can figure out why you feel inferior, incompetent or unworthy, then you can begin to heal yourself. And your healing starts with you validating your own worth. You choose the standards that you evaluate yourself by. You decide when you've done your best. Learning to approve and appreciate yourself is truly the most important and liberating thing you can do.

@got_glintsp963 Hi,I would start by defining your own standards of good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, etc, because your opinion of yourself should matter more than anyone else's opinion. Then if you decide you want to make some improvements, seek out information on how to do it. No one program, method or course of study is going to fit everyone, so modify whatever you need to so that it fits you and your goals. Be consistent and keep trying until you see the results you want. The very fact that you are making a sincere effort to improve will help you feel better about yourself. Best wishes ❤️

The problem is people tend to avoid what is negative and to find the real light we need to embrace the shadow as heavy as it may be.

Last year i was battling thoughts constantly, fighting thoughts with thoughts. So much overthinking actually made me lose a lot of my hair. Suddenly i woke up one day, had the realization that it don't matter. I slowly dived deeper into the spiritual and got introduced to the word shadow-work. It's so crazy, theres such a huge difference between the mind and your conscious self, when you adress things from the mind with your conscious words and find a solution, it all comes together. So with the awareness of shadow-work i suddenly got a thought that i wasn't good enough, and really said to myself "What would make me think such thoughts about myself" and as i relaxed and just focused on the question, memories from my childhood popped up, in where i was neglected. Looking at this, and realizing it was so long ago, and made me the person i am, today put it in a whole new light. Told myself it was okay and i am safe now, just completely lifted a heavy burden on my mind and body. The shadow stems from unadressed trauma.

You came from the shadow into the light ✨️

The ultimate end goal of doing shadow work as with any type of spiritual or psychological work is to attain peace of mind and a clean heart. These two things are invaluable tools that allow you to flow through life with a certain natural high. You also gain other spiritual/psychological tools but that is for those who push into it. And for the love of understanding words. Dark doesn't mean evil and light doesn't mean good. Dark/shadow simply means the unknown and light means the known.

I love the dark❤️

I have started doing shadow work 3 1/2 years ago. I was broken from a heavy childhood and at the age of 44 i decided it was time to go to the darkest places in my mind and heart and do whatever it takes to bring them into the light. It was so hard but worth every single moment of the pain, tears and shocks after discovering the truth. Life is so much better now. Life becomes normal once you pass through your personal dark forest. Also i wanna add to this the fact that if my mother would have done her shadow work, i wouldnt have had to do it now. If her mother would have done it, neither my mother nor I would have to do it. So i am taking responsibility for myself but also for my children and their children. The more i can uncover and heal, the less shadow work will they have to do. If everyone would do this, the coming generations would have a much better life

Remember when you heal yourself, not only do you heal the shadow side of your future lineage , but you heal your ancestors also since you are connected even in different timelines since there is no time or space beyond this dimension. This is probably more than you asked for but it’s a spiritual side to this healing.

Your shadow is basically everything wrong you've ever done and your childhood trauma (unconscious beliefs based on how your parents treated you), if you've cheated people, taken advantage of people, wronged people or animals, committed any "sins" all of that lives in your subconscious so you have to make peace with yourself and the bad things you've done and also work in yourself so you don't do those bad things anymore. Be kind to even the people who are unkind to you because they represent your shadow. If you can do that your life will begin to change for the better. Namaste 🙏

You could also view your shadow as the imprint you've made on the world, both good and bad. If you pay for someones meal and later on someone pays for your meal you could view that as your positive shadow. The imprint you've put on the world with your behavior. You are the universe experiencing itself so when bad things happen to you think of it as the universe trying to trigger you to see how you will react. Transmuting the negative energy is alchemy. Always be the bigger person and make peace with your mistakes so you can continue to grow and evolve as a person ♥️

"Consciousness succumbs all too easily to unconscious influences, and these are often truer and wiser than our conscious thinking. Also, it frequently happens that unconscious motives overrule our conscious decisions, especially in matters of vital importance." - Carl Jung To me, the dark or the shadow is anything that not in your conscious thinking. You could be a really negative person and have a positive shadow. The golden shadow. Even jung said that not all evil is totally bad for you. How else can one be assertive enough to have healthy boundaries.

It's true a lot of the most outwardly negative personas were formed out of pushing the vulnerable kinder qualities into the shadow. People take advantage of or ridicule the kind and our brain is tracking who has the most power in each interaction, especially traumatic ones. We lose bits or pieces that are deemed as weak and then they stay immature compared to our more conscious attributes.

I def agree that the shadow self should not b feared or kept hidden in shame for doing so gives it a more negative power over the whole self. Finding a middle ground, a compromise with the shadow self, to walk with it confidently without shame, guilt, fear, nor doubt will uncover arcane wisdom of the universe within the self, creating internal balance that will ultimately lead to creating external balance. 💐💛⚔️

Now when I have kids, a wife, and a farm. I will know exactly how to talk to my children. Just by listening to them and thinking about their words. I will continue to explore the demon. He gives me great things to write about. I found a part of my source. I'm excited to communicate with him in a waking dream one night.

Shadows basically being behind someone for a long period of time without them knowing that you're there

I'm surprised to know I've been doing shadow work for most of my life and yes this is ongoing in my journey. I've just realized that the months of May and November are the best time for my shadow work after I went back through dream journals over the years. Thank you for sharing this.

You work with your shadow. There’s no need to overcome it. Once you realize your triggers, you acknowledge them from 3rd person view. Then when you learn how to accept the trauma, you then learn how to love/forgive. Our shadow is our “weights” (so to speak) for developing spiritual strength.

Once the fears are overcome the potential arises. Our hearts need to be in our efforts.

E.g. a person spending his life in cowardice can actually be courageous however he needs to dive deep into his psyche via meditation. Shadow work, ego death, dark night of soul are all related and leads to one thing, cosmic wholeness.

One of the best explanations of the “own shadow”. When you mentioned reverse engineering our own thoughts, the name of Rudolf Steiner popped in my mind as Steiner’s technique of reverse engineering our day meticulously every night before sleeping.

It would be wise to read the book in portions and let each journey he shares resonate before moving on to the next. It’s one of my favorite books I’ve purchased & it’s something I will reread several times.

Shadow work consists of us analyzing our rejected reflections of self. The rejected reflection is seen outwardly through others. When we have difficulty accepting who we are we project it. If we we've done painful things we may project it into others. So we speak beautifully to ourselves to understand it better an vs we strive to find beautiful truths in our memories.

This happened to me, and I befriended the dark so I can appreciate the light. I am writing songs now, doing art and I am living in harmony. But there is so much thing to do.

I left all my material belongings behind left my apartment and went living out of a book bag at a homeless shelter. I started to experience the presence of archetypes in my thinking and I started to experience sychibicity some as well. I started to see patterns in numbers particularly at this time I didn't use plant medicine but wad using amphetamines. I started doing deep shadow work in my artwork keeping mist of the room in my bag for my sketchbooks . I spent the next six months drawing only with black ink while I deeply introsoected often mumbling to myself. Shadow work took me to the edge. I had flashbacks of past experience with near death I thought about philosophy and time and space the afterlife and death and my fears plated a huge roll. I thought about language and linguistics all while sketching. All I did was draw and think I often had restless sleep and felt I was in touch with spirits because I had seen the void been there and back before. The shadow work I did during this time has reshaped my psyche some will say it I was experiencing psychosis from the amphetamines but they helped my journey through the dark sun conscious minimalism I found to be very important for me as well.

I especially noticed and appreciated your awakened Self as demonstrated by your re-entrance at the end, humbly stating that perhaps you had not verbalized a satisfactory "exit" to your video and you wished to correct it 😊... In 2012 I experienced a sudden onset Spiritual Awakening/Kundalini Rising/Dark Night of the Soul triggered by a catastrophic health crisis, ultimately leading to the loss of nearly everything, not least of which was my identity. I'm sure you understand well the Journey from utter despair and darkness, to a Beingness so completely and deeply transformed that life is never the same again (and a 100x more beautiful and fulfilling...but still life of course lol). A few people have asked me HOW I changed or was able to change so much, love myself so much and "walk in love." My simplest answer was that I had to notice, reflect upon, re-learn, and re-do every single thought, word and deed in my day. So if I was irritable and impatient with my mom, I had to look at this interaction, take responsibility for my part in it, and determine how I could have done it better/ differently (always best to "re-do" right then instead of "next time"). I had to see and FEEL all the ways I was out-of-alignment with my Self and with Love (kindness, helpfulness, patience, calmness, etc), and why. Anyway, just my lengthy 2 cents.

Remember: The reason for the split of a personality into Self-image and Shadow is... _fear._ We start out life as helpless dependents; so we're terrified of abandonment - which would equal death/oblivion. As we grew we were repeatedly taught that we must subjugate many natural aspects of ourselves, or else we would risk rejection from our parents, and later from society as a whole. The specter of abandonment is terrifying; and as adults that fear still keeps us rejecting large swathes of our natural selves. So if we want to reintegrate our rejected self, we first have to re-encounter - and _reprocess_ - the fear. Gulp. ~8^{

Oh and random thought. If you smoke marijuana. Stop. It’s subtly an anti depressant and puts you in a haze that makes the shadow much larger and you don’t even realize it from How subtle it is.

You don't plan things. It just happens

Jung is why I went back to school. ~ THIS video, although the shadow anima/animus isn't new to me, I will continue repeadetly listening to this until it is completely assimilated. I simply can't thank you enough.

Wonderfully clear and true video.

Brother....thank you. Well worded, and timely

I took a year off work to find my shadows to come to find I'm now stuck in some realm of projections reacting to everything in my experience 😅. I'm not able to stop judging myself for being able to step out of my shadows and just live from fear and deep shame. Stuck in all my past traumas, dissociated and unable to feel forward. I appreciate having 'woken' up but now I'm stuck in my head instead of reality. I'm still unemployed as no career seems to have any meaning.. it's just do, be, have robotically tasking. Perhaps I'm not consciously aware enough to get out of my dissociated trauma states. But I feel trapped and numb. I used to live from my ego and was rich. Now it seems I'm destined to becoming homeless, because it all seems pointless 😅. Each human I encounter shows me a piece of me I can't stand. So I just want to isolate because I can't control them and I can't stop my own patterns. I go 'offline' and repeat them... only to become aware to it again and again. Its like a delusional Groundhog day. 😂 Thank you so very much for this incredible account ❤️ Really enjoyed the entire video. The connections were clear and valuable 🎉

Sounds like are on the path. You’ll eventually have break through! 🙏

This is the best video on the shadow I’ve come across. Your way of explaining it and the pace made it easy to grasp. Personally I think mourning for self is the way to access one’s shadow. Excellent video. Thank you for sharing. 👌

This was for me! Thank you from San Diego

Thank you. I will definitely dive deeper into this.

Amazing content ❤ I particularly enjoyed … the whole video. 😂👍🏻 The quote from Jung about intentions!!! For so many years I disliked people talking about intentions and never really understood what they mean or why it was so important-especially Daniel Dennets “The intentional stance” and scholar’s talking about it. That was the first time I ever heard anyone who felt EXACTLY the same as me about it. And that was just one little thing in this AWESOME VIDEO ❤️‍🔥👁❤️‍🔥

great video, there are a lot of things I need to think about after watching this, thanks for the insight.

I have been camping for a month. Working on all this, intensely profound. Complete different understanding oneself.

very easy to work with your shadow: if you feel uncomfortable, instead of distracting just stay a little longer with this feeling. Just aware how and where it is in your body, what thoughts come up, what emotions.

So glad you're making this content! I was watching Black Swan last night, I think it's a great illustration of these concepts/duality of ourselves
