Meeting the shadow book pdf download

Loving oneself is no easy matter just because it means loving all of oneself, including the shadow where one is inferior and socially so unacceptable. The care one gives this humiliating part is also the cure. More: as the cure depends on care, so does caring sometimes mean nothing more than carrying. The first essential in redemption of the shadow is the ability to carry it along with you Yet this carrying and caring cannot be programmatic, in order to develop, in order that the inferiority comply with the ego's goals, for this is hardly love.

Ramblin' Man. I read this book when I was like It blew the shit out of my ass Good stuff I want to read it again in my adulthood, though probably not much has changed since my youth This book is absolutely amazing. It is life-changing, it is a book where you will not be the same after having read it. It is a book you will keep and come back to, and with each read you will understand and grow even more.

It is a blend of Jungian psychology, existentialism, and philosophy, and it is gathered into a collection of essays that each address the topic in a different manner. This is one of the best books I have ever read in my life, and I know I will read it many more times in my life. It will irrevocably change the way you look at yourself. This book is mind blowing. It's a fascinating lense into the parts of ourselves that we repress and passivly experience through others, not realizing that the traits of others that we wish were are own are indeed our own, we just deny ourselves them due to shame or our upbringing.

This book shows you this and teaches you how to open yourself up and own all parts of yourself, balancing the dark and the light. This can open a floodgate of power, confidence, sexiness, and creativity that you didn't realize you had, or knew you had but didn't know how to embrace it and practice it. I highly recommend it, obviously. Author 1 book followers. Although I personally do not see this as a book for those who are still actively dealing with panic traumas particularly related to childhood abuses , this book is extremely useful, in many chapters, for working through the details of getting to the bottom of the traumas and less severe but nonetheless hurtful events of earlier life.

I found in particular those excercises for finding and dealing with Shadow projections to be potentially helpful, if rather difficult, and useful. This is a book that bears re-reading with pen in hand, and going back through one's journals while working on the excercises. The phrase that comes strongly to mind here is what the French say: courage, which means both courage or bravery, but also in this case, may the work go well, as it will clearly not be easy This book moved me.

Towards consciousness of the shadow, towards confrontation with it. And it is no lip-service to acknowledging the theory of it - during this week or so that I have been reading it, I have begun to realize the changes in my behaviour that have been inspired by the revelations from the authors of this compilation.

The chapters are different in style and theme, and some of them seemed easier to read than others, but I believe that the ones that seemed easy for me were hard for someone else and vice versa.
