The thing Jung wrote about has been commandeered by corporations. Yes, we all have the same dreams now, but that is because we all watch Grey’s Anatomy. We all live in Shondaland, for the love of God. Now we dream of Tide and Buick. We long to be Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. Our shadow self is Scar from The Lion King, and rather than struggle to incorporate even that anemic animated cartoon darkness into our being, we attempt to eradicate it, because Disney has taught us that Scar is evil and must be destroyed.
