Allen Watts - Shadow Aw Skit Lyrics

If you're perfectly honest about loving yourself
and you don't pull any punches, you don't pretend that you are anything other than exactly what you are
you suddenly come to realize that the self you love, if you really go into it,
is the universe
you dont like all of it
you're selective about it, as we saw in the beginning
perception, is selection
but on the whole, you love yourself in terms of what is other
because it's only in terms of what is other that you have a self at all
so then
i feel that one of the very great things that C.G Jung, contributed to man kinds understanding, was the concept of the SHADOW
that everybody has a SHADOW
and that the main task of the psychotherapist
is to do what he call, to intergrate the evil
to as it were, put the devil in us, in it's proper function
because you see, it's always the devil
the unacknowledged one, the outkast, the scapegoat
the bastard, the bad guy you see, the black sheep of the family
it's always from that point, that which we could call the fly in the ointment, you see
that generation comes
in other words, uh, in the way that in the drama
uh, to have the play, it's necessary to introduce a villan
it's necessary to introduce a certain element of trouble
so in the whole scheme of life, there has to be the SHADOW
because without the SHADOW, there can't be the substance
