Shadow Boxing

We react to our own shadow
shadow appear when there is light somewhere
this light is awareness, the Tree of Knowledge
creating ego and its shadow
to cover its shadow, it create persona
we don't see people, we see persona
an ideal image of who are supposed to play to be accepted
to be good or bad
we are active playing our roles and cover up our shadow
we forget the human nature and believe this Social Role
this desirable social role create undesirable shadow
this shadow is rejected and feared
the minority group being discarded
at the same time, we are fighting the undesirable, discriminating against the minority group
the unloved, the rejected, the shadow

Just like we play our role of persona, we also play the role of shadow
Our reaction to the shadow is the small Emptiness.
We are reacting to what is not accepted of us (can't be thrown away (part of us) but doesn't want it)
The shadow is our unmet needs
If we have more shadow than ego, we have larger shadow than ego
this shadow we project to others, this shadow is others
For ex, an abusive authority figure is larger than our selves
this abusive authority figure is the rejected role that we are still not able to process or conquer
this SELF-OTHERS is part of ourselves, we are still attached to objects (while still processing/learning about the objects)
When we want to learn something or defend ourselves, we grab the object first
for ex, a wild animals. We try to get control of the animals and hold it until it calm down and do us no harm
this is what we do in Conscious Incompetence
we are self conscious (using all our senses) and attach to the objects
Sometimes, this is where we left off where there is no self yet, but scattered objects with the emotion in conscious incompetence/
Still attached to ourselves, this is called Objects as Self. This is the objects that we transfer to others. We are still reaction to the objects. This is the OBJECT that we TRANSFER to others.
