About this title: Exploring our need to "own" our own shadow, this book guides the reader through an exploration of the shadow - what it is, how it originates and how it interacts and is made through the process of acculturation. The author argues that until we have undertaken the task of accepting and honouring the shadow within us, we cannot be balanced or whole, ...

"It is pretty good, if you are into Jungian psychology. I'd prefer to hear a bit more about why he thinks what he says is true, instead of just stating it as true, for example, the reason for the difference in the shape of the cross in western Europe vs. the shape of the cross in Eastern Europe.
In any event, it does a good job of making you less scared of your shadow side and more willing to express it."
"Lyrically written.....wonderful, clear and updated interpretation of Jung's shadow theories. I read it one night and it left me feeling ecstatic and inspired to experiment and explore."
"I found myself writing down lots of quotes from this book. Here's one I liked at the end:
"People often asked Dr. Jung, 'Will we make it?' referring to the cataclysm of our time. He always replied, 'If enough people will do their inner work.'""
"This is one of those books that's easier to describe by what it isn't than by what it is. It's not a how-to self-help book, and it's not a scholarly analysis of myth. There are no theraputic instructions or any data sets or graphs. It's religious but not a tract for any religion.
So what is it? This book is a winding conversation with a thoughtful, spiritual, aging Jungian. It's a mix of meditation, Jungian worldview and interpretation of myth, and gentle guidance.
Reading it again I felt like it has a great deal to offer, if I can internalize some of the seismic ideas presented so demurely. The central idea is (I think) that we all have a shadow-- all those parts of ourselves relegated to the dark because they are unacceptable in society. These can be our worst impulses or attributes but also our best-- all the gold that would make us more exposed, more creative, more kind. When the gulf between our "light" and our "shadow" becomes two wide, we experience depression or breakdowns. So in order to have a healthy psyche, we need to welcome our shadow-selves into our conscious lives.
The goal(?) is not to bring light and dark (or any other polarity) into contradiction (you are good or bad, male or female, right or wrong), but to bring them into paradox (you are good and bad, masculine and feminie, right and wrong). In the sacred space of paradox, in the mandorla-- the almond shaped overlap of two circles, like the center of a Venn diagram-- you touch the divinity of I Am, of It Is, frantic but static opposition is pulled into a still but dynamic unity. This is the liminal space-- the place where ritual can heal the rifts in reality.
How does one accomplish that? As Master Oogway says in Kung Fu Panda, "I donno!" But I think it has something to do with awareness, with openness, and forgiveness. And religion, meaning to re-unite things that have been separated.
