Carl Jung discussion

what books,essays etc did Jung talk about the shadow in? Thanks

Nearly every volume of Jung's collected works makes mention of the shadow. Get a primer to understand terminology. 'The Essential Jung :Selected Writings' edited by Anthony Storr pub. Fontana 1998 is excellent. It includes extracts relating to the archetypes, of which the shadow is one and reproduces pages from Aion CW vol 9 part 2 paragraphs 13-19 about the shadow. The more the unconscious rules, the greater the shadow, as happening in the world now.

'The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no-one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort.' CW 9 ii para 14.

...it is quite within the bounds of possibility for a man to recognize the relative evil of his nature, but it is a rare and shattering experience for him to gaze into the face of absolute evil'.
-CW 9ii para 19.

Thanks alot Kevin.

Jung's 'Man and his Symbols' is an easy explanatory read and cheap as chips on Amazon.

Cool, thanks
