  • In this video, I'll be addressing the power of our shadow (or dark side). Specifically, what it is, and why it's so important.
    Carl Jung was a famous psychologist who argued that the shadow is one of the most important aspects of our personality. This video explores the meaning and power of knowing our shadow, and how it can help us grow as individuals.
    By understanding and working with our shadow, we can unlock our true potential.

    it feels fulfilling when you champion an unpopular opinion that's been dwelling in your shadow. not only is it fulfilling, but people that do this often are the most interesting people.

    I love how you added the theme from fight club at the end of the video, mimicking the ending of the movie. What happened at the end of the movie was the complete integration of the shadow. In “becoming Tyler durden” by killing his original personality and becoming his ideal self, he finally becomes free in every way he wanted to be free.
    You should do a video on this movie discussing “letting go” of the previous self and “becoming free in every way [your previous self] is not”. There are many interpretations of the ending but I believe Edward Norton becomes the ideal self after shooting himself. Although we see Brad Pitts character dying, I think it was Edward Nortons previous personality being killed off once and for all. If you pay attention to his behaviour as he speaks to Marla and his henchmen, it seems that he has the exact demeanour that Brad Pitt had.
    This was his way of fully integrating the shadow self. It was eye opening to see that once he was Brad Pitt, this version of himself never ever let him down. As the Tyler Durden alter ego said, he would always carry the original self through any issue in life and in the end he would be grateful for him. This dynamic between Edward Norton and Brad Pitt shows that the potential we have once we unleash the shadow is truly limitless.

      I've put some thought into doing a video on Fight Club. Like you said, there are a ton of ways to interpret it, but I agree with your essential analysis. I'm also working out how to concisely explain Nietzsche's Ubermensch in Tyler Durden and still make it a somewhat short video.

    Another cool video, awesome movie references and loved "Where is my mind" at the end :D. Could you please direct me to Jungs works focused on confronting and getting to know the shadow?
    I've watched quite a few videos(from different creators) about the topic (and you put really well what exactly it is), but I think its just too vast of an idea to be taught on deeper level in such short form. There's nothing wrong with that as your video was an introduction - that way it is more likely you will inspire new people to pursue philosophy. I hope you will continue to create high quality vids even if you won't "explode" on yt because its most imporant to do good job even without being noticed; but i wish you many views nonetheless :D

      Thanks for the love and encouragement ( :
      To answer your question, The Psychology of the Unconscious, which was published in 1912, is a good place to start. Since it was in that book that he established the foundation for all his ideas on archetypes and for further exploration in Depth Psychology.

    Interesting, wholeness/completeness is something to strive for in judaism seen in names like Shlomo/Solomon meaning God’s completeness.

      That's interesting. I was reading about something similar with respect to Shekhinah as well.

    Well the fact that in the religion of Islam we are taught we are born side by side with a baby jinn (similar to the understanding of a demon) that is a specific type called a qareen which whispers to us (through thoughts) with an attempt to make us go astray from the path towards god, i would have to say that this "shadow" integration work from Jung just sounds like he is accepting the jinn as a part of himself instead of rejecting it as a force of evil.
    I would suggest atheists to not go down these kind of philosophical and psychoanalytical routes that suggest very weird concepts to be adopted which an atheist would usually not through cynicism and a lack of verifiable proof but because it is being suggested by another atheist or academic person they think it is not spiritual, yet you may end up not only suffering hell in the afterlife but this life as well. Just like atheist claim they do not accept religons as they are fairytales and wishful thinking well then by the same token Don't adopt concepts and worldviews just because you are suffering. I say this as a religous person because i think it better for you and everyone you are surrounded by and the world at large that you find meaning in suffering instead of trying to cure it by way of untested pseudoscience just because it sounds esoteric. Think about it, if the devil did exist, he would still try to use, manipulate and ruin you regardless of what you believe.
