This episode explores the relationship between power and shadow in the Shadow Map model, examining their distinct functions as opposing forces. I address how these key concepts are often confused in shadow work and discuss:
• The widespread tendency to conflate power dynamics with shadow material
• How to recognize when you're dealing with power dynamics vs shadow material
• What Jung really meant by "unconscious urges to personal power"
• Why power often disguises itself as virtue (kindness, efficiency, spirituality)
• The distinct differences between power's mechanisms and shadow manifestations
• How materialist philosophy contributes to this confusion
This is an important distinction for anyone interested in shadow work and self-knowledge.
