This episode explores the relationship between power and shadow in the Shadow Map model, examining their distinct functions as opposing forces. I address how these key concepts are often confused in shadow work and discuss:

• The widespread tendency to conflate power dynamics with shadow material

• How to recognize when you're dealing with power dynamics vs shadow material

• What Jung really meant by "unconscious urges to personal power"

• Why power often disguises itself as virtue (kindness, efficiency, spirituality)

• The distinct differences between power's mechanisms and shadow manifestations

• How materialist philosophy contributes to this confusion

This is an important distinction for anyone interested in shadow work and self-knowledge.
