I've always thought I was 'on to' the whole concept of the shadow, the idea that if you repress it, it becomes darker and more intense and powerful. I always thought that I had a healthy appreciation of my own shadow... I've just realised that I have impossibly high expectations of myself and everyone else, that I expect myself to be pearly white and pure, that for this reason my shadow gets out of control, that for this reason I feel like a bad person...
How do I lower my expectations of myself and the world?
How do I learn to accept?
