Keynote Presentation by Marc Gafni at Integral Spiritual Experience

In this presentation on “Understanding Your Unique Shadow,” Dr. Marc Gafni sketches the framework for a revolutionary leap in our understanding of the human shadow.

Just as there is no light without the dark, there is no Unique Self without Unique Shadow. The aspects of our experience, manifestation, and our full engagement with the world that has yet to come online. It is live unlived, those dark avenues of experience that are yet to be realized. By tracing it back to its timeless source, we are led directly to the heart of it.

According to Dr. Gafni, your Unique Self and your Unique Shadow are a double helix of light and dark coiled into the patterns of becoming. In Your Unique Self, Gafni writes: “The greatest paradox of spirit is that your inferior function itself is also your greatest gateway to the numinous. So, for example, if your inferior function is a particular dynamic in the way that you love, it will also be the place of your greatest gift and Unique Self-calling.”
