Quick takeaways

• The shadow represents the hidden part of ourselves that we hide from others and even from ourselves, containing aspects of ourselves that we aren't proud of, such as evil or the seven deadly sins, and recognizing and exploring the shadow is important for personal growth and self-awareness.

• The shadow is not just personal but also collective, manifesting in politics and conflicts between nations, where nations often project their shadow onto the enemy, blaming them for all the evil, and recognizing its presence can help us understand the dynamics of larger social and political conflicts.
