“In Jungian psychology, the shadow refers to the entirety of the unconscious, i.e., everything of which a person is not fully conscious, or an unconscious aspect of the personality which the conscious ego does not recognize in itself. Because one tends to reject or remain unaware of the least desirable aspects of one’s personality, the shadow is largely negative.” – The Power of Dreams – http://powerofdreams.net/Shadow.htm
“According to Carl Jung this [shadow] is our darker side of our psyche…”We use our dark side or shadow to display activities our ego is not comfortable with.”…” – Psychology Dictionary – https://psychologydictionary.org/shadow/
“According to Jung, the shadow, in being instinctive and irrational, is prone to psychological projection, in which a perceived personal inferiority is recognized as a perceived moral deficiency in someone else. Jung writes that if these projections remain hidden, “The projection-making factor (the Shadow archetype) then has a free hand and can realize its object—if it has one—or bring about some other situation characteristic of its power.”[6] These projections insulate and harm individuals by acting as a constantly thickening veil of illusion between the ego and the real world.” – Wikipedia – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_(psychology)
