hard times reveal who was real from the start.

THE SHADOW IS BY NO MEANS ALWAYS NEGATIVE We so often treat the shadow as a dark basement where we lock away our monstrous or socially unacceptable impulses. But the shadow is not only the repository of our destructive aspects - it is the unlived life, the vault where we hide our light when the environment demands that we dim it, also known as the "Golden Shadow" in Jungian Psychology. When we look at the shadow through this lens, the psychological heavy lifting of mining the shadow expands. When a child is conditioned to believe that their brilliance, intensity, or power is "too much" for their primary caretakers, those traits are repressed to preserve the vital attachment bond. The ego-defense mechanism ensures survival, but the ensuing cost is a fractured sense of self. As adults, because these golden qualities are barred from conscious expression, they don't disappear...they constellate in the unconscious and are experienced through projection: we become intensely drawn to, or curiously resentful of, individuals who freely embody the very traits we have locked away. The person who disowned their authority will be captivated by natural leaders; the person who repressed their creative fire will look at artists with a mix of awe and bitter longing. We look for a suitable hook, or a person onto whom we project our own unconscious gold in the external world to hang our internal gold upon. We idealize partners, mentors, or public figures, carrying their gold because we do not yet believe we possess the right to drink from our own well. The process of integrating the golden shadow requires moving from idealization to internalization. It is a delicate therapeutic and inner work task. Inhabiting one's positive shadow often meets with immense internal resistance. It triggers what Abraham Maslow called the Jonah Complex, the fear of our own greatness, the evasion of our destiny, and the anxiety of standing out. To step into one's creativity, assertiveness, or wisdom means giving up the safety of playing small and facing the existential guilt of outgrowing the family or cultural matrix that demanded the initial repression. And that is easier said than done. Yet the golden shadow will continue to knock at the door, and if we refuse to open the door to our own gold, the unconscious will find a way to turn up the volume and take the door down. What are traits/qualities/skills you consistently admire in others that may be a hint at your own inner gold? ~ Barbara Hannah, Striving Towards Wholeness (1971) ✨🙌🏾💫

@FabrizioRomano Only 3 Van players in their names? They are not what we used to be anymore

@AB_007__ In some places we're already back and better than ever. Decline is a choice

We need to go back

Not a ban FIA just closed a loophole: Mercedes tuned thermal expansion so compression was 16:1 cold (legal) but higher when hot. Smart 3D-printed pistons. Now they test hot too. Engine still legal — just no more “hot bonus”. Classic F1 cat & mouse.

how it started how it's going

they tried to bury us not knowing that we were seeds 🌱✴️👁️

pov: you are noticing results but you are chasing something bigger

I eat a lot of seafood, but cooking it alive just doesn’t sit right with me This looks like animal cruelty!

@thebaddestblch And it goes the other way around for girls as well If she becomes serious, know she’s not feeling safe around you

@thebaddestblch That's the essence of the relationship and the comfort in it Once he loses this energy around you, you know you messed up

POV: honeymoon phase ended.. now it’s just husband core.💀

Nobody running is allowing someone stagnant or still drag them back. Running people move with running people.

@cityzenken_ Antonio Di Natali comes to my mind Superstar but zero trophies in 20 years

Genuinely is there any player who finished his career without winning a single Trophy?
