CARL JUNG ON THE SHADOW — 7 Dark Truths

Carl Jung on the shadow: the part of you that you swore you'd never become, and why it is still yours. One Sunday, over a scratch on a gatepost, a man shouts at his grown son in front of his grandson, using the exact words his own father shouted at him. Late at night, by a single lamp, two old friends work through seven dark truths about the shadow, with short passages from Jung's writings and a lot of honest argument. ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 The voice in the driveway 01:09 1.
