Episode notes
Defining Shadow
- Shadow, as defined by Carl Jung, is the unconscious mind.
- The unconscious mind encompasses everything not currently in conscious awareness, including bodily functions and ingrained patterns.
Repeating Patterns
- Recurring problems often stem from repeating patterns in our unconscious minds, not external forces.
- We recreate situations leading to the same issues instead of recognizing our internal patterns.
Perspectives and Conundrums
- Progressing through developmental perspectives (1st to 6th person) presents consciousness conundrums, distinct from shadow.
- Each perspective shift (e.g., from self-centered to recognizing others' minds) reveals new, previously unseen worlds.
