Evil's Self-Contradiction: The Dissonance Loop Explained | Mapping the Shadow
This episode continues our exploration of evil by examining its inherently self-contradictory nature. Despite appearing powerful, evil contains the seeds of its own destruction through flagrant contradiction at every level.
In this episode:
- Why evil is marked by profound internal dissonance
- How Schelling described evil as "the self-consuming and always annihilating contradiction"
- The concept of the Dissonance Loop and how it manifests in everyday life
- Jung's insights into inflated consciousness that "dooms itself to calamities"
- Why hypocrisy isn't just a symptom of evil but its fundamental characteristic
- How evil attempts to "bend the absolute to the particular" and why this inevitably fails
This is part of an ongoing series exploring Shadow Mappingβ’ and Shadow Dialectics - a comprehensive approach to understanding psychological dynamics and transformation.
