Ok, talked to Von Faustus. I'm not talking about the Shadow in my Shadow post, I'm talking about something else he called the Unified Adept that is both Tyrant King and Benevolent Dictator. Seems this other Shadow the Fresno crowd was talking about was based on some psychological theory put forth by some dude named Jung.
Ooopsie!

C.G Jung is interesting. He was a student of Austrian founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud. Terms such as "the collective subconscious" hails from Jung.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suecae, I'll look into it some time. :|
ReplyDeleteFor me, 'The Shadow' is everything we don't focus on about ourselves. This includes things like repressed thoughts and feelings, but also things we don't consciously understand about ourselves. Drives we have in the higher levels of reality, but also the understanding of the nature of how things work...all the details and such...in the higher levels.
