Commentary on morality and archetypes

Found : Commentary on morality and archetypes

Every archetype is a component of the psyche of every human being and it's the enemy shadow archetype we have to integrate first (that's the only way we can avoid projecting it). We always see the archetypes projected more readily in others than in ourselves … anger, for instance, is almost always a projection of the enemy shadow – at least in those people who haven't integrated that archetype yet. Don't let yourself get caught up in other people's samsaric webs. People will drive you crazy if you let them. Can you see the Buddha in the Nazi? Can you see the devil in the saint? These are all manifestations of archetypal projections … in reality, there is no good and evil, right and wrong – they deal with morality not spirituality.
