Joseph Campbell said: "shadows must not only be tamed. One must also know intimately one's dark side and befriend it. An intimacy with and acceptance of the unsavory aspect of our personalities can allow us to access it's power over us and use it to our advantage. And it works for us when we bring it to the light.
Be aware, in practical terms, it means confronting our fears instead of hiding in them. It also means being brutally honest with ourselves about our own vices, reasons and motivations.
