Do no harm - Know yourself


     “Most of us would agree that it matters that we bring no harm, or at least less harm, to others. This noble desire asks that we become progressively aware of, explore, take responsibility for our personal shadow. The shadow includes those parts of ourselves that make us uncomfortable with ourselves, whether it be our capacity for evil; our insurgent, narcissistic agendas; or our most spontaneous, healing, instinctual grounded selves.”

     “Jung challenges us directly: ‘Real liberation comes not from glossing over or repressing painful states of feeling, but only from experiencing them to the full.’”
