“To confront a person with his shadow is to show him his own light. Once one has experienced a few times what it is like to stand judgingly between the opposites, one begins to understand what is meant by the self.
Anyone who perceives his shadow and his light simultaneously sees himself from two sides and thus gets in the middle."
Carl Jung; "Good and Evil in Analytical Psychology" (1959). Civilization in Transition.

Shadow work is critical when it comes to accessing our creative potential. While the shadow contains negative traits that we need to transmute, it also includes our golden shadow, which is our creative potential and talents. As Joseph Campbell said, “the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”

“If you want to move towards God, action is not needed, madness is not needed, concentration is not needed. What is needed? Only one thing: surrender is needed. A passivity is needed, you have to become feminine. You have to become a womb -- a receptivity, a pure receptivity. And when you are utterly receptive -- so much so that you are not even desiring God, because in the desire also there is action; so much so that you are not even expecting God, because in expectation also there is action -- when all desiring and all expectation has disappeared, when you are there just silent, not even waiting for God, He comes.
In fact to say 'He comes' is not right -- He arises in you. Even that is not exactly right -- you suddenly find in that waiting that you are it.“
- Osho

The wiring in our system creates our attachment patterns, so it’s essential to understand where we are on the attachment spectrum and something to work on if we are anxious or avoidant. Especially if there is a fear of intimacy, it’s important to work with these patterns and understand the deeper reason behind that.

Over the years, as I dove deeper into my process, I uncovered all kinds of suppressed parts, exiles, traumatized soul fragments, the imprisoned inner child, and many protective layers and “armor” that covered up trauma, wounds, and shadow aspects going back lifetimes. All these personality parts I also mistook for the “true self.”
One example of facing the “terror of the situation” was many years ago, in the late 90s, when I was first getting into Jungian Shadow work and started to make more efforts to observe myself.
I realized that I was acting out parts of my father and mother that I actually externally despised and hated in them. In other words, I realized I had traits that I hated the most in my parents and others – deep in my shadow, and I was not aware of it but acting them out mechanically and unconsciously.
I also projected these shadow traits onto others but did not see them in myself. It was a visceral “enlightening” experience of disillusionment and facing my shadow that I’ll never forget.
At that moment, I also experienced my true Self, the impartial witness. For a brief moment, the real “I” made its appearance, still, eternal, embodied, non-reactive, and grounded in joy (Ananda) that didn’t depend on anything external in my life. It laid the foundation and aim for the ongoing work.
Once you face “the terror of the situation” within yourself and the automated mechanical nature of many of your feelings, thoughts, actions, and behaviors where there is no “free will,” you will also see this robotic mechanical behavior in others.
You will notice that most people are unconscious automatons driven by unconscious trauma and wounding, conditioning, and programming.
You see how people suffer, but they don’t know that they are suffering as their pain is masked up and suppressed, shoved deep into the unconscious, and hardened in the body-mind. Billions of people are sleepwalking, dreaming of being awake.
You also realize the futility of looking for any significant change externally – a new system, any new -ism, or any political, social, institutional changes – all of it is useless as long as it is coming from people who are not aware of the true nature of their Being but live mechanically and automate under the influence of the “General Law” [the esoteric denoscription of the matrix forces.]
It’s a humbling experience. It is dark, disturbing, yet liberating and enlightening at the same time. It’s impossible to put it into the limited constructs of language and words.
Once you cross that threshold and start to “see the unseen”, there is no turning back to your “normal” life. At that moment you really took the “red pill”.
It will prioritize what truly matters in your life. You won’t waste time and energy anymore on the trivialities of official mainstream cult-ure and you cannot relate to the goals, pleasures, and desires you had in the past. You realize that they were stemming from your conditioned personality.
It is the starting point of the process of individuation where you will also need to face isolation, loneliness, and alienation as part of the process to escape the sleepwalking consensus state of humanity.
This phase of alienation and isolation are lessons to test the sincerity of the seeker. They have been symbolized in many esoteric metaphors of “crossing the moat-threshold” to “enter the Kingdom” with guardians providing riddles and tests for the soul that wishes to find and realize itself and leave the “wilderness” of the matrix.
Many people tend to get stuck in this stage. The alienation and loneliness can make people become hardened, cynical, and nihilistic, and they tend to blame the world for their misery in a victim mentality. They get caught in doom & gloom, negativity, and self-pity, and they resist the necessary [internal] death-rebirth process to individuate….

Most people lack the necessary psychological foundation when it comes to sincere self-work before entering the domain of the Occult, Esotericism, and fringe knowledge in general.
Over the years, I’ve noticed that many people jump to this information without having worked on or addressed their most basic childhood wounds/traumas (which we ALL carry) and shadow aspects, nor are they engaged in any embodiment work (body-mind practices) and meditation to still the mind.
They keep looking for something else they can blame/project their issues on and, hence, can easily misapply occult esoteric and fringe knowledge.
Most of the ancient esoteric knowledge in the past was occulted (hidden) for a reason, not necessarily to keep people from awakening via suppressing knowledge (which happened and is happening as well) but to protect the seeker and honor an esoteric truth “Ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you”
as well as “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces”
to test the sincerity of the seeker if he/she is even ready to be “initiated” into higher knowledge and the various stages of “awakening”.
Initiation, in that sense, has nothing to do with a ritual, ceremony, or anything external, as some “secret societies” have hijacked the esoteric concept of “Initiation.”
True initiation is an internal process, testing the sincerity of the seeker if he/she is truly ready to “cross the threshold” without the ego’s demands, bargains, or just based on fleeting curiosity but based on a true, sincere call from his/her immortal soul, yearning to unite with the Divine.
As more and more people start to “awaken”, many young souls do not know [yet] what it actually takes to truly cross the threshold on the path towards awakening.
Many seekers over-estimate themselves or underestimate what The Great Work entails. Most often, people mistake an intellectual understanding of how the Matrix manifests externally as an “awakening”.
In order to escape the Matrix, it is necessary to engage in esoteric work with sincere conscious “super-efforts.” There is a “threshold” to be crossed, a void, which puts the seeker on The Way of The Great Work.

Good insight and advice. I learned it the hard way when I used to care too much about opinions and feedback from people I don’t know and never met, especially random people on social media. The only opinions and feedback I consider now is from my wife, a close friend, and my teachers and mentors, five people in my life. I also know they’ll be truthful without overlaying their projections.
