Sample text
Much of his reflection focuses on the dark Self and its repression. Further, he equates the experience of the Self with an experience of the divine, defining it as a religious event in the true sense of the term: The self . . 12 11Psychology and Religion, CW 11; see also Edward F. Edinger, Transformation of the God-Image: An Elucidation of Jung's Answer to Job. 12 "Transformation Symbolism in the Mass," Psychology and Religion, CW 11, par. 396. Page 27 In that sense, and whether we like it or not, analogies with existing religious systems spontaneously come to mind and may help understand the psychological confrontation with the Self.
A few individuals, whom one would expect to have suffered more than others from their family constellation or from a traumatic childhood, seem to have escaped this fate, while others are faced with very serious psychic trouble, despite their family background not being particularly problematic. We may also think of the paradox presented by cases in which, at least during long intervals, the unconscious produces only shadow motifs and is unable to suggest any positive development. The concept of compensation may be used to explain what is happening when the analysand consciously adopts an attitude unilaterally oriented toward light.
Hence there is a tendency for people to negate their shadow and to repress it. However, just as the earth rotates on its own axis, during the course of an individual's life the other side of the personality starts emerging. We are then forced to acknowledge qualities we had denied and to discover their value. Generally speaking, this change happens when we enter the second half of life. This is never an easy passage and it provokes all sorts of resistances. Confronting these may be seen as the hard daily bread we all must chew.
