24 Wise Carl Jung Quotes To Transform Your Life - MotivationGrid

To strive to be good, and disregard one’s darkness, is to fall victim to the evil in ourselves whose existence we have denied. The ‘shadow’ is Jung’s term for the dark, unwanted, feared side of our personality.

The shadow personality can also be thought of as the unlived life.

This shadow is experienced as a foe, but it is really a friend because it contains clues as to what the individual lacks, rejects and distrusts.
