“The most dangerous psychological mistake is the projection of the shadow on to others; this is the root of almost all conflicts. Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people. No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell. The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." ~Carl Jung Image: "The Tree of Life" (1922) from Carl Jung's The Red Book.
