During this time of global crisis we can feel a stirring within ourselves of inner crisis. It can highlight our Inner demons, skeletons in the closet, past wounds and the darker side of our personalities. These are all words for the shadow. The wounded aspect of ourselves that are instinctive, irrational and prone to psychological projection in which a perceived personal inferiority is recognized as a perceived moral deficiency in someone else. At times we experience subtle versions of our shadow. During times of crisis we can feel consumed and somehow possessed by it. But for the most part we are completely unconscious of our shadow. From a collective point of view, it can seem as though our world is in crisis because of a lack of consciousness. We turn a blind eye, ignore or bury it deeply within us. It’s mere existence evokes emotions of guilt, shame or fear so when the reminder of our dark side is triggered, our automatic response is to repress it and lock it away in a tightly packed away box. However, navigating, experiencing and owning our shadow side is a vital part of our expansion of consciousness, individually and as a collective. Welcome to The Collective Shadow: where we will explore the darker aspects of not only ourselves but also the collective unconscious in order to heal, evolve and transcend.
