As I said, we’re not going to step into that morass right now; but going back to the original question – What’s wrong with suppressing and then forgetting the more ?? parts of yourself? Wouldn’t it make for a much more peaceful life, and a happy society? Well, it doesn’t work out that way. The problem is, those suppressed parts of you include not only destructive impulses – they also include creative ones; and above all, the Shadow Beast does not remain quiet and docile. The longer it remains in the dark, and the deeper it’s hidden in the cellar of the unconscious, the more powerful it becomes. In fact, the name of the Shadow’s game is power.
I’ll give the most obvious and well-known example: the gentle, sweet-natured man who changes when he drinks alcohol. Suddenly, everyone’s best friend becomes a sarcastic, mean-spirited, even vicious enemy or destroyer (and, by the way, this applies just as well to women, of course; it’s just easier for me to stick to one gender. I usually refer to therapists as female and patients as male, but that’s simply a matter of convenience, and I assume you realise that). Alcohol is, in our society, the most commonly used way by which the Shadow gets released from its chains for a while, but it’s certainly not the only way. Some people under extreme stress, or in situations involving intense emotions, might burst out with words that shock with their hate and malice; others with even less control over themselves will actually become physically abusive and destructive. Certain drugs will allow the same kind of thing to happen, for some people in some situations. Neither the alcohol nor the drugs are responsible: what is responsible is the unconsciousness of the Shadow.
Men alkohol trigger virkelig også aggressivitet som intet andet. Og aggression er så umuligt at styre. Blodet løber væk fra hjernen og ned i musklerne.
