Tantric Chasing of the Shaddow
To hunt the shadow, the Jung-ian concept, you might be tempted to “look deeply inside yourself.” That doesn’t work well. Mostly all you’ll ever find there are familiar fantasies and feelings. Your shadow, by definition, is what you have succeeded in hiding from yourself. It is the not-me —the aspects of life that, long ago, you rejected and cast out.
To hunt the shadow, you have to pursue it outside your self. Or, more accurately, you will find the shadow’s tracks in your interactions : with other people, with the non-human world, and with your own, unfamiliar body.
How do you find the shadow? In Buddhist terms by noticing the 3 poisons: lusting, loathing, & ignoring.
