The Shadow

4 posts in this topic

I guess the shadow is the ego or dark or unconscious side of us that we are not fully aware of that can lead us to do harm to ourselves or others.  By mindfully studying it within ourselves, we can learn to transcend it.  But can it ever fully go away?  Is full enlightenment just the full transcendence of our unconscious side?

I've definitely seen people who are more pure in intention and action than others but I have yet to find anybody that seems to have fully transcended their shadow.  What do you guys think?

I think it is an eternal process of identifying and transforming your shadow, i don't think there is an end to it.

Is a magician being pure in intention, or are they being deceptive?

I can't prove it but I really don't think the shadow of unconsciousness is infinite

It's just a hunch I guess
