#Jung: "Whoever looks into the mirror of the water will see first of all his own face. Whoever goes to himself risks a confrontation with himself. The mirror does not flatter, it faithfully shows whatever looks into it; namely, the face we never show to the world because we cover it with the #persona, the #mask of the actor. But the mirror lies behind the mask and shows the true face.

This confrontation is the first test of courage on the inner way, a test sufficient to frighten off most people, for the meeting with ourselves belongs to the more unpleasant things that can be avoided so long as we can #project everything negative into the environment. But if we are able to see our own #shadow and can bear knowing about it, then a small part of the problem has already been solved: we have at least brought up the personal unconscious. The shadow is a living part of the personality and therefore wants to live with it in some form. It cannot be argued out of existence or rationalized into harmlessness. This problem is exceedingly difficult, because it not only challenges the whole man, but reminds him at the same time of his helplessness and ineffectuality. Strong natures – or should one rather call them weak? – do not like to be reminded of this, but prefer to think of themselves as heroes who are beyond good and evil, and to cut the Gordian knot instead of untying it. Nevertheless, the account has to be settled sooner or later. In the end one has to admit that there are problems which one simply cannot solve on one's own resources. Such an admission has the advantage of being honest, truthful, and in accord with reality, and this prepares the ground for a compensatory reaction from the collective #unconscious: you are now more inclined to give heed to a helpful idea or intuition, or to notice thoughts which had not been allowed to voice themselves before. Perhaps you will pay attention to the #dreams that visit you at such moments, or will reflect on certain inner and outer occurrences that take place just at this time. If you have an attitude of this kind, then the helpful powers slumbering in the deeper strata of man's nature can come awake and intervene, for helplessness and weakness are the eternal experience and the eternal problem of mankind. To this problem there is also an eternal answer, otherwise it would have been all up with humanity long ago. When you have done everything that could possibly be done, the only thing that remains is what you could still do if only you knew it. But how much do we know of ourselves? Precious little, to judge by experience. Hence there is still a great deal of room left for the unconscious. #Prayer, as we know, calls for a very similar attitude and therefore has much the same effect.

The necessary and needful reaction from the collective unconscious expresses itself in archetypally formed ideas. The meeting with oneself is, at first, the meeting with one's own #shadow. The shadow is a tight passage, a narrow door, whose painful constriction no one is spared who goes down to the deep well. But one must learn to know oneself in order to know who one is. For what comes after the door is, surprisingly enough, a boundless expanse full of unprecedented uncertainty, with apparently no inside and no outside, no above and no below, no here and no there, no mine and no thine, no good and no bad. It is the world of water, where all life floats in suspension; where the realm of the sympathetic system, the #soul of everything living, begins; where I am indivisibly this and that; where I experience the other in myself and the other-than-myself experiences me."

@twtrrr @lesstenny I'm not sure it's about the era , we all have ability to think and develop empathy and critique but it's much easier to sit and judge ..

[curious4tune @Curiosity7Ian]

@ExcelYourself I just read in a major outlet that he consistently and fervently maintained his innocence, these adverbs apparently add credibility!

[curious4tune @Curiosity7Ian]

@DrVicFielding The possibility of further damage.

[curious4tune @Curiosity7Ian]

@DrVicFielding Maybe this " We have obviously got our system of training wrong with young men .
This incident reveals the presence of deeply entrenched attitudes, generations old ,that need thorough acknowledging and overhauling Only the complete owning of male complicity will move us past ..

It feels like ABC news are scared to criticise ‘no’ campaign because News Corp will attack them if they do. Thing is, if one of my children is naughtier than the other, I don’t tell them both off to balance it out. Watchdog scrutiny doesn’t require balance! Public need better.

If you’re in Australia and voting in the referendum on 14 Oct. you’ll get an official statement about it.
The Yes case shows plainly that the Voice commits us to listening to them.
They’ve been here 65000 years. We came here 235 years ago. We should LISTEN to them.
Vote YES
