shadow self and the unconscious mind

i'm reading carl j. jung and the subject of the unconscious mind and the shadow self.  we tend to judge other people when in fact we are experiencing a mirrored image of ourselves.  we don't like what we see in ourselves.  it gets worse when we try to run away from our true self.  the shadow can consume our lives and make it difficult.  it helps if we can try to embrace our shadow and learn to love it.
