Integrating the Shadow

When we create a schism between our ego and our shadow, when we refuse to look at our shadow, two things happen. It means we're either in the ego or we're in the shadow. And so if we look at the shadow and go, ak, so i guess integration doesn't mean rejection. It means when one of these archetypa energies is evoked by circumstances in my life, this is how i'm going to generally show up. But instead of reacting and letting us becoming possessed with one of these energies, i 'm going to instead understand what that energy's job is," he said.
