Jung throughout his work shows us how necessary it is to get to know. The process that allows every woman and every man to become what it should be known by the name of process individuation, requires a real confrontation. Jung says: "The confrontation with the other in us is paying because we learn to know this side of our being that we never, ever let another show and we never allowed ourselves ".
To this he adds: " It does is not only useful but important and very appropriate to lay down in writing the whole process when it occurs, because we need to have written evidence vis-à-vis oneself, in order to effectively counteract tendency to self-deception is always ready to manifest itself in humans. A record is absolutely essential to keep the reality in the Trade with the shadows. Only by this means painful that we can gain a positive insight to the complex nature of our own personality ".
At the time of this confrontation we are alone to face our destiny. We must accept the conflict as it "requires a real solution and requires a third term in which the opposites can be united. Reason with his logic is usually forced to abdicate, because there is no third term in a logical alternative. The solution can be only of an irrational ".
Facing his own images, a real commitment must be made, the whole being is involved in this confrontation, no escape. The path of individuation is not an easy path It requires the mobilization of all forces conscious and unconscious. It is well distant from the traditional one which necessarily dominates the other pole!
