Let’s try this. Over the past year, you have no doubt been in situations that stood out as, say, more momentous than others. Sets of circumstances that were more crucial by way of impacting on your life than did others. How would you describe the shadow’s presence here? If only generally.
Clearly each individual has to deal with the manner in which his or her brain/mind/“I” reacts to the world around it in intertwining the id with the ego, conscious awareness with subconscious and unconscious states of mind, genes with memes, nature with nurture.
Now, my interest here would be in exploring the shadow as it manifest itself to you in the either/or world and then in the is/ought world. That is simply my “thing” here in all of these discussions. .
In other words…the Shadow and dasein? the shadow and conflicting goods? the Shadow and political economy?
Morality on this side of the grave, immortality on the other side.
Thus I would be curious in turn to explore Jung’s shadow as it pertains to death: ideapod.com/carl-jung-explains- … n-you-die/
Well, only to the extent that someone is able or willing to grapple with his or her shadow more substantively, descriptively, empirically etc., would their account be of much interest to me.
In other words, for whatever personal reasons [reasons I am not likely to grasp in not being you], you don’t/won’t go there. The things you then note are [to me] just more general description intellectual contraptions.
I have no idea what in the world you are talking about in regard to “bring[ing] to light the darkness where I would rather not recognize it.” Demons? Sick people? When? where? how? why?
The dark side as a manifestation of biological imperatives more or less than traumas encountered over the course of living your life out in a particular world given a particular set of experiences rooted through nurture in dasein.
As for Baltimore, the Wire, sure. And John Waters films. But the film that came closest to it for me was Jodie Foster’s Home for the Holidays. It was mostly filmed a few miles from my home in Lauraville. I remember a co-worker coming into the company I worked for claiming to have seen Jodie Foster in the seven-eleven in Hamilton. And the part where Robert Downey Jr. is walking past the cemetery on Moravia Road was less than a mile from my house.
Hmm. I wonder how the shadow fit in there? Fit into those characters struggling up on the screen to sustain their human-all-too-human interactions.
