Question

What is the Jungian archetype that is described as the "blind spot" of the ego? An analogy that is that every driver knows there is a blind spot in his or her car. It is a spot that no mirror shows and if you don't check the blind spot by physically turning your head and looking when changing lanes, an accident might occur. Shadow is the dumping ground of the ego and everything that disturbs or is denied by the ego is buried there.

Answer 1

Answer:

Shadow

Explanation:

Under the Jungian Archetype, Shadow refers to where the ego may dump things that cause a disturbance or denial. Here it buries it. This is likened to a blind spot that is the area that the ego may choose to keep away and ignore so that it does not cause any sort of problem to it. It describes a sort of secret that the ego chooses to bury and keep far way from it.
