Projection Of The Shadow Self & How To Make This A Better World.

[LightSun]

1. Projection Of The Shadow Self.

2. Unresolved Unconscious Issues.

3. ‘How To Make This A Better World?’

4. Good & Healthy Mental Health.

“I speak and write using metaphors. I am fortunate in the sense I have the gift of insight. I overcame an Explosive Personality Disorder father, and being in a verbal sense bullied in school.

“In the course of my lifetime, I have used the gift of insight to further develop. I have grown in depth and breadth in my understanding of myself, others and the world we live in.”

I. All of the deep insightful people who have come before me say the same thing. That is we need to focus on our own development. Carl Jung’s work on his ‘Projection Of The Shadow Self’ says it all.

It’s so rudimentary. When people communicate whether written or spoken, they are projecting their inner selves. If they use negative and subjective language about another person it is a real reflection of what is in their inner selves.

II. It is their own, “Unresolved Issues, Unconscious Conflict, Emotional Baggage, Unfinished Business, and an indication of a Psychic Wound that they have not yet come to terms with nor healed adequately.

I am going to Combine Carl Jung’s Projection Theory together with Socrates “Allegory Of The Cave.”

I used to have a very long written article I wrote over 3 decades ago which I at the time called my “Non-Negative Energy Philosophy.” I’ve condensed this philosophy as I’ve continued to develop.

III. Basically people who use negative subjective language are, “Projecting their Shadow Self” upon Socrates Cave Wall.

In a philosophical sense they are projecting their own illusions meaning unresolved issues with cognitive laden distortions of thought unto a situation or directed at another person. I know it’s abstract, but it is the truth.

IV. My revised Non-Negative Philosophy is “How Can We As Individuals Help To Make This A Better World?”

1. I am responsible for my own thoughts, feelings, writings, speech and actions irregardless of the situation or person.

2. I will not repay negative energy with more negative energy coming from me.

3. What I do or say is always a reflection of myself. What the other person says or does reflects them and their own issues. This is very tricky. It’s easy to blame a person or situation for a person’s own emotions.

V. I once asked the question, “What is a good indicator of good mental health?

My answer is not being susceptible to triggers. A person who has, good “Emotional, Psychological and Spiritual” maturity does not react so much.

Those who react and are always negative have deep unresolved issues. In a sense they are projecting their own issues like pollution unto life and other people.” LightSun

P.S. All of these wise Souls say the exact same thing as I’ve articulated and have shared. Until we take personal responsibility we shall never, ever escape from a mad world where everybody condemns one another.

My word I use for those who judge and tell others what to do is they are acting ‘Like Baby gods.” They are part of the problem and not a part of a solution.

Worst of all they remain blind to the fact. This is because these concepts are not introduced into early education.” LightSun

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Carl Jung

“Much of the evil in the world is due to the fact that man is hopelessly unconscious.” Carl Jung

“Your own self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.” Ramana Maharshi

“Millions of people never analyze themselves. They don’t know what or why they are seeking, nor why they never realize complete happiness and lasting satisfaction.

By evading analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress.” Paramhansa Yoganada

“We need to wake up from autopilot mode. We have to live deeply and with more awareness so that we can be attentive to each moment.

Enlightenment, peace and joy will not be granted by someone else. The well is within us.” Thich Nhat Hanh

“There is only one perpetrator of evil and that is human unconsciousness. If you were truly conscious of what your possible

ill spirited actions does to another human being, to yourself and the collective unconscious, you would not do it.

So those who act with toxicity in any manner, we have to understand that it is almost as if they are asleep.

If they truly understood, if they truly got what they were doing they wouldn’t have done it. You know this to be true.” Eckart Tolle

“If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself.

Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.” Lao Tzu

 

[LightSun]

“In fairness I realize the vast majority of society have not been introduced to Projection, Triggers, and the Unconscious.

How can I expect them to know this if they were never taught these topics? Especially in our earliest years.

This being the case we shall never grow, or develop so we might reach each human person’s potential of an actualized self.” LightSun

Quotation:
“There is only one perpetrator of evil and that is human unconsciousness. If you were truly conscious of what your possible ill spirited actions does to another human being, to yourself and the collective unconscious, you would not do it.

If they truly understand, if they truly ‘got’ what they were doing they wouldn’t have done it. You know this to be true.” Eckhart Tolle

I. “I wrote over a decade ago a long written article, “Non negative energy philosophy.” I have since then condensed it.

1. “I am responsible for my own thoughts, feelings and actions despite other people or situations.”

2. I will not repay negative energy with negative energy.

3. What I do or say is a reflection of me. What they do or say is a reflection of them.

II. I told my friend this in approximately January, 08 that I found an insight of any negative emotion. This is part of the human condition.

A person experiences a negative emotion.
1. Negative emotion
2. Cognitive dissonance
3. Cognitive distortion
4. Projection
5. Judgment in only the dictionary sense. They who judge others only self expose that they don’t take responsibility for their own lives.
6. Self righteous in a dictionary way. I am right. They are wrong and I have a right to impose my reality unto them.
7. Ultimately it’s ego based.

III. ‘How Can We Be More Self Aware And Be Cognizant Of Not Projecting My Own Shadow Self?’

I ask myself if I did either of these errors.

I. Did I use any of the 11 identified cognitive distortions?

II. Did I use any negative and subjective language in describing someone else in my communication?

IV. What do I do when I detect another person being contrarian?

I don’t respond. To do so is called negative reinforcement in psychology. I ignore and do not engage with the other person.

They are coming from an argumentative position. Odds are the other person is triggered and are not even aware.

V. “I can perceive when someone is coming from a confrontational manner or using negative, subjective labels and defamatory language.

Having learned this I know statistically that it is not probable that you can reason with them. Thomas Paine has an excellent quote.

“To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administrating medicine to the dead.” Thomas Paine

“You can’t use reason to convince anyone out of an argument that they didn’t use reason to get into.” Neil deGrasse Tyson

“I don’t engage in discussions where the participants have already decided their responses.” Pru

VI. The trick though is to keep my own moral compass straight. That is why I never call him names. That would be the cognitive distortion called ‘Labeling, name calling and using a pejorative.”

VII. What’s more I stay away from using just negative subjective language in the form of insults. I write consistently on this to stick to objective fact and reason to make one’s case.” LightSun

Query:
“If the people are not cognizant of such fundamental concepts, that I share, then how can I reasonably expect some one other than to defend their position?

“This an honest, and humble appraisal of at times a person can disavow something I posted. One they have any not really expertise.

What I share is real. All the components I share are intrinsically bound. It’s not what is generally understood unless one does specialize in certain areas.

1. Unconscious: The power of the unconscious, and how it influences, directs most of a surface of immediate action and or thought.

2. Projection: “Do those who might have a different stance know of the term and as it applies to all.”

Again, I am not stating new information. What I do share, is from those coming before me. It is based on solid formation. It is not mere opinion and subjective opinion or stance.

It is formed on solid science foundation, facts, and continued scientific study which validity my position.

3. It is of my position certain elements be taught in broad general way of the education system. It is not. Not unless one specializes in a certain field and learn of fundamental aspects.

Most people don’t have an idea of how the sheer enormity of these influences us day to day and keep us in a somewhat obliviousness of these variables I have shared.

I have prior in mention in metaphor, “Keeping us all of us really blind, and plus in the he dark. Blaming others as generally people may do for their own specific thoughts and feelings.

Not unless we the populace begin and educate the younger people following us of:

1. Unconscious
2. Projections
3. Cognitive distortions (11) which come from the CBT field. Irrational Beliefs (11) introduced from the author, and originator of REBT, Dr. Albert E. Ellis.

4. Mindfulness. A mindful approach recognizing and taking responsibility for our own thoughts, feelings, speech, writing and actions.

Quote coming via Carl Jung, “Until we make the unconscious conscious, we shall never evolve.” Carl Jung

 

[LightSun]

‘How To Awaken To Reach One’s Potential?’

I. Mindfulness: It starts by being aware of our thought process in our Unconscious.

IA. How can we correct our thinking if we are not even aware of our underlying thoughts that for most remain hidden?

IB. In psychology you have CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) with 11 identified cognitive distortions in the human thought process.

IC. In REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) Dr. Ellis the founder of REBT, another cognitive approach to increased awareness. He identifies 11 IRRATIONAL BELIEFS in the human unconscious thought process.

II. These are just three of these distortions to being able to practice and utilize human reason.

IIA. The use Labeling, Name Calling, and the use of Pejoratives.

IIB. GENERALIZATION

IIC. Emotional Reasoning: I described this pernicious to human kind distortion as follows.

“Just because I think, feel, and believe something passionately does not necessitate that it is the truth.

Not unless it can be proven by hard scientific research methodology in the here and now. Then to have these results replicated.”

Otherwise it is merely unsubstantiated opinion, belief and subjective (‘truth’), really a persons individual perception. Not necessarily another’s belief in the least.

What people don’t understand is that the other person’s perception of reality is just as real to them as your own personal perception and belief system.

In my philosophy field of study I am a Stoic, Existentialist, and Humanist, but primarily I am an Empiricist, in other words prove it to me.

This particular thought distortion of Emotional Reasoning is the cause of much of human misery throughout the course of human history.

III. The role of PROJECTIONS, TRIGGERS and understanding the role of the human UNCONSCIOUS in that most of our immediate thoughts and actions are on autopilot.

As Carl Jung stated, “Until we make the unconscious conscious, we shall never awaken.” Much less grow to reach mankind’s potential.” LightSun

Hello ladies and gentlemen. I have listed a whole plethora of famous quotations down on the page on how we can all make this a better world. It starts with each individual.

(1). ‘How can you help to make this a better world: for our own satisfaction?’

(2). In addition what steps can we take so the next seven generations of our children shall reap the results of our labors to help leave them with a better world?’

I. I am responsible for my own thoughts, feelings, speech, writing and actions irregardless of the situation or person.

II. I will not repay negative energy with negative energy. People are allowed to believe in whatever they want as long as they are not a harm to self or others.

III. How I act is a reflection of me. How the other acts is a reflection of them.”
