Jung held that to encounter and accept our shadow, “the thing we have no wish to be” (CW 16, §470), is fundamental to the process of individuation, to becoming whole. In this lecture we will explore the concept of the shadow as bringer of the light. We will follow the analytical journey of a young woman and examine her encounter with a striking shadow figure that appeared in her initial dream and followed her throughout. We witness the healing and opening to new creative life bestowed upon her, in part, through her courageous encounter with the shadow.
