the ego in a broadly comprehensive theory of complexes, often referring to it as the ego-complex as illustrated when he said "by ego I understand a complex of ideas which constitutes the center of my field of consciousness and appears to possess a high degree of continuity and identity. Hence I also speak of an ego-complex".
Jung often used the term "complex" to describe a usually unconscious, repressed, yet highly influential symbolic material that is incompatible with the consciousness. complexes as "'stuck-together' agglomerations of thoughts, feelings, behavior patterns, and somatic forms of expression". Some complexes usurp power from the ego and can cause constant psychological disturbances and symptoms of neurosis. With intervention, it may become conscious and greatly reduced in their impact. Jung described the power complexes can hold when he said "what is not so well known, but far more important theoretically, is that complexes can have us. The existence of complexes throws serious doubt on the naive assumption of the unity of consciousness, which is equated with 'psyche,' and on the supremacy of the will. Every constellation of a complex postulates a disturbed state of consciousness. The unity of consciousness is disrupted and the intentions of the will are impeded or made impossible. Even memory is often noticeably affected, as we have seen. The complex must therefore be a psychic factor which, in terms of energy, possesses a value that sometimes exceeds that of our conscious intentions, otherwise such disruptions of the conscious order would not be possible at all. And in fact, an active complex puts us momentarily under a state of duress, of compulsive thinking and acting, for which under certain conditions the only appropriate term would be the judicial concept of diminished responsibility" (Jung, [1960] 1969:par. 200).
Every individual needs revolution, inner division, overthrow of the existing order, and renewal, but not by forcing them upon his neighbors under the hypocritical cloak of Christian love or the sense of social responsibility or any of the other beautiful euphemisms for unconscious urges to personal power (Jung, 1966:5).
It is under all circumstances an advantage to be in full possession of one's personality, otherwise the repressed elements will only crop up as a hindrance elsewhere, not just at some unimportant point, but at the very spot where we are most sensitive. If people can be educated to see the shadow-side of their nature clearly, it may be hoped that they will also learn to understand and love their fellow men better. A little less hypocrisy and a little more self-knowledge can only have good results in respect for our neighbor; for we are all too prone to transfer to our fellows the injustice and violence we inflict upon our own natures (Jung, 1966:par. 28).In New Paths in Psychology (1916) Jung pointedly referred to the "hypocritical pretenses of man".
Dream-analysis above all else mercilessly uncovers the lying morality and hypocritical pretences of man, showing him, for
The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim,[2] ethical code, or morality[3] that essentially states either of the following:
- (Positive form): One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.[2]
- (Negative/prohibitive form, also called the Silver Rule): One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated.
once, the other side of his character in the most vivid light (Jung, 1966:par. 437).HARM PRINCIPLE - ACTION THAT DOESN'T VIOLATE OTHERS
GROWING UP, WE DEVELOP COMPLEX/NODE WHEN EXPERIENCING FRUSTRATION OR TRAUMA OR CHASING AFTER SOOTHING OBJECTS.
MOSTLY, WE ARE AWARE OF POSITIVE COMPLEX AND NOT AWARE OF NEGATIVE COMPLEX.
POSITIVE COMPLEX CREATE OUR PERSONALITY AND OUR NEGATIVE COMPLEX CREATE OUR SHADOW.
OUR SHADOW IS OUR HYPOCRITICAL NEGATIVE COMPLEX
WE ARE USUALLY BLINDED BY OUR PERSONALITY TO SEE OUR HYPOCRITICAL NEGATIVE COMPLEX THUS SHADOW.
IT IS NORMAL PHENOMENA FOR TEENAGE YEARS WHERE WE GET EMOTIONALLY GET HIJACKED BY OUR IDEALISM OR SOOTHING BEHAVIORS WHEN EXPERIENCING TURBULANT TRAUMATIC TEEN LIFE.
PATHOLOGICAL HYPOCRISY IS A PERSON WHO EXPERIENCE ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT AND EXPERIENCE REPEATED TRAUMA AND GOT STUCK IN RIGID PERSONALITY, NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE COMPLEX. HE GET BLINDED BY HIS RIGID PERSONALITY TO SOOTH HIS STRONG NEGATIVE TRAUMATIC FEELINGS.
