Jung's Circumambulation: The Hidden Pattern of Growth | Mapping The Shadow
In this episode of Mapping The Shadow, we explore Jung's concept of "circumambulation of the self" - the circular journey of psychological development that underpins Shadow Mapping.
This episode covers:
- Why Jung believed there is "no linear evolution" in psychic development
- How the circular journey from self to world and back creates transformation
- Why we keep encountering the same patterns in our lives
- The relationship between mandalas and the structure of consciousness
- How this circular pattern appears in the Shadow Map model
- Why growth involves both outward movement (Eros) and return (Thanatos)
This is part of an ongoing series exploring Shadow Mappingβ’ and Shadow Dialectics - a comprehensive approach to understanding psychological dynamics and transformation.
