The Shadow Principle + CD

According to the teachings of Carl Gustav Jung, the shadow is our subconscious. It is the personality we would prefer not to be, but which we must eventually become if we want to be whole. We feel our shadow, our "dark side", very ambivalently: she's annoying to us, but at the same time, she fascinates us. Working with the shadow serves the purpose of becoming conscious, and is therefore in a real sense working with the light. In fact, the shadow is our treasure, it enriches us like few other things. Based on the law of fate and the rules of the game of life, it corresponds to the most important law: the law of polarity. We can project it onto others - or we can grow personally with its help and with it.

Ruediger Dahlke shows us how to find our shadow and how to confront it so that we can finally accept it, integrate it into our personality, and maybe even begin to love it. Those who set to work on their shadow, as presented in the book, will become more open, kinder and more tolerant - towards themselves and towards others.
