People are often more attracted to a
person with a shady personality
than to an outright good person.
For today's lesson, I want to pick a
single archetype and discuss it.
That archetype is the "Shadow."
Quite a charmer, hm?
Now, let's begin the lecture.

Just to brush up from the previous
lecture...
An archetype is a basic element of pattern
recognition within the mind. With that
ability, the mind can create images.
There are archetypes such as the "Great
Mother" and the "Wise Old Man"...
The "Shadow" archetype conjures the image
of a "creepy, unfamiliar person."
A creepy, unfamiliar person...
That doesn't exactly sound like something
that gives off good vibes, does it?
That's right: the Shadow is the archetype
that represents the undesirable.

Jung explained the Shadow as "the part
of the personality one chooses not to see."
In other words, the "evil" within a person
that he or she denies.
We all have "evil" that we deny buried
within our unconscious; that is the
Shadow.
I'm sure you can all understand that
the Shadow is hated by all...
But let me explain it a little more,
comparing it to your everyday life.

In other words, to you, "good" is having
the diligence to do your homework.
On the other hand, you abhor the laxness
of going out to play. Laziness is your

weren't lazy, you chose not to be.

And, consequently, you didn't pick the

The hated Shadow is under pressure by the
conscious, often using the feeling that
it should just "disappear."
But can one's Shadow truly be erased?
First off, it would be very difficult,
considering its location inside the
unconscious.
Furthermore, the Shadow makes us recognize
ourselves and gives our value judgements
more meaning.
To erase one's Shadow is to weaken one's
own mind.
Jung realized this, and advised against
trying to eliminate your Shadow, in favor
of facing it and accepting it.
By accepting one's Shadow, a person's
mind can grow further.
If you accept this mental image as
"another version of you," maybe it'll
be easier to face your Shadow, hm?

...Now then, it looks like it's time.
I'll explain a bit about the "Shadow of
the people" -- a group psyche as opposed
to an individual -- and end this lesson.
Jung's studies of mythology noted the
existence of the Shadow.
The Shadows of myth... they are evil
beings better known as "demons."
From the viewpoint of Jungian psychology,
the common Shadow of the people took on
the forms of demons.
You don't have to be an exorcist to
want to rid the world of demons...
But, after this lecture, is it a good
thing to eradicate demons? ...It makes
you think, doesn't it?
If I follow my schedule, the next lecture
should be on the "Persona." That is also
another version of yourself.
And that's it for today.
