20 ways to be a BLM racist

75. Love your Carl Jung signature stating that the most dangerous

thing there is.... is projecting one's own shadow upon others. For those that don't know the Jung
definition of "shadow" it is ones dark side, or the potential for doing evil, which is usually a blind spot that is very difficult to us to face without help. There are very few rituals in the USA for closely examining and revealing one's own dark side. The effect of that is to "see" the evil that one hides from her/himself, in other beings instead. As a result, we as a country are in a seemingly stuck in our teenage stage of development and cannot evolve into our highest "good".

In other cultures there are "coming of age" rituals that force us to look deeply into our own souls. Especially in more primitive cultures. But the Catholic Church has it to a degree by insisting that we examine our own behavior, confess our sins, and then do some kind of penance. Agreed... saying a few prayers is not sufficient. I'm not familiar with other religious rituals.

You interest and intrigue me WoW, because of your Jung quote signature. I know very few people who know anything whatsoever about Jung and the complex problems we face because we don't look deeply enough inside of ourselves to realize that all of us are capable of evil, and in fact have done things, often in ignorance....that are evil.

Ignoring the dark side of ourselves condemns us to forever project our own evil on others who we then seek to punish.

Makes for the fodder of war, among other crimes.
