KEY CONCEPTS:
重要概念：
Repressed and projected negative beliefs about oneself, often compensated for
壓抑和投射負面信念的自己，往往是為了補償
Shadow figures, which are from the subconscious (or dark archetypes, shadow figures of the unconscious) are about a seemingly dark, or even evil, energy.
皮影戲，是從潛意識（或黑暗原型，無意識的影子人物）看似黑暗，甚至邪惡的能量。
These figures are actually a belief or aspect about ourselves which, typically, has been repressed for a long time.
這些影子實際上是種信仰，通常已經壓抑很久。
Often, they are covered over as a compensation with a veneer of being ‘good, sweet, nice, but dead rather than dynamic)’.
通常情況下，它們被覆蓋在一片 "好的、甜的" ，但是死了。
Underneath this, in the unconscious, there are whole belief systems about ourselves being bad, evil, nasty, cruel and heartless murderers, torturers and tyrants; and because they are belief systems, they seem true; the ‘good, sweet, nice and dead’ facade is a protection against them.
在無意識中，我們自己也有壞的、邪惡、骯髒、殘酷、無情殺人犯、折磨與暴君；這是種信仰，因此它們看起來十分真實；但他們似乎是 "好、甜美、漂亮或死的" 這是種正面防護。
At the same time, the dark belief systems are also a defense against our true goodness － the Light within us which we are frightened of.
同時，黑暗系統也對我們善良防禦 - 在我們的內在光中，我們都嚇壞了。
So, The Shadow is over being a Child of God.
因此，影子是神的孩子。
Fortunately, we can move through this just as easily as any other problem or conflict.
幸運的是，我們一樣可以很容易通過這個。
Using the card
使用該卡
If you get this card, you have buried and, typically, denied a negative belief system about yourself which is affecting you and creating self-punishment.
如果你拿到這張卡，你已經在裡面了。
通常情況下，否認自己，是影響與創造自我懲罰的負面信念。
Typically, but not always, there will be someone around you, or some past or present world figure, whom you just cannot stand and who brings up a feeling of negativity, or even of hatred, in you.
通常情況下，有人會在你身邊，過去或現在的世界中，有無法忍受的消極感，甚至仇恨你。
This is evidence of beliefs you have about yourself which are buried, denied and repressed.
這是你被掩埋，否認和壓抑自己的證據。
One way to find your shadow figure is to look at the people around you to find who it is that you can’t stomach.
找到影子人物的方法之一，是看你周圍的人，你不能忍受誰。
Somewhere, you believe you are like this.
某個地方，你認為自己是這樣的。
You once judged your feeling, repressed it, denied it and finally projected it out.
你曾經判斷你的感覺，壓抑它，否認它，最後投射出來。
At the same time, you have kept up a level of self-torture and created punishment for yourself from outside sources fro these very beliefs.
同時，保持了一定水平的自我懲罰，並來回引用外部資源創造懲罰自己的信仰。
This has been a mistake.
這是個錯誤。
Typically, you have compensated by behaving in a way that is opposite to what your really believe about yourself.
通常，你會以一種完全相反的行為模式，相信對自己的補償。
This compensation, which may seem very good and helpful, is actually just a form of role or sacrifice, in which you give but don’t receive, because all of the reward just goes to proving that you are not this bad person.
這種補償，看起來非常好，樂於助人，實際上是角色或犧牲，你給予但不接受，因為所有的獎勵只為了證明你不是壞人。
To find The Shadow, ask yourself:
為了找到影子，問自己：
‘Who would be the person I would most hate to be from history, legends, fairy-tales or myths?’
"誰是這個人，在歷史，傳說，童話，神話中尋找。"
The character who comes to mind, and the qualities or characteristics which seem most to do with this figure, are really beliefs you have about yourself.
想到哪個人物，品質或特點，就是你真正的信念。
Once again, this area is typically denied and defended against; but it still affects us, so we punish ourselves through scarcity, ill-health and other troubles because of it.
這個區域通常是否認、辯護與反對；但它仍然影響我們，所以我們透過貧困，疾病等煩惱懲罰自己。
One way to heal this is to imagine that you are holding the ‘good, sweet, nice, dead’ compensating part of you in one hand and The Shadow in the other.
治愈的其中一種方法是想像，將 "好、甜、漂亮、死" 補償你的那部分，放在一隻手上，將投射出的心魔人物放在另一隻手上。
In your mind, melt them down to their pure light and energy (their most basic form). Then join the two energies together until even your fingers interlock.
在心中，將它們融化成純光能量（最基本形式），再將兩種能量加在一起，直到手指交錯。
Keep the new combined energy in one hand and imagine that true goodness is in the other hand.
保持結合的新能量，將其放在手上，空的另一手想像，真實善良本性。
Once again, melt these down to their most basic form of light and energy and join them together.
再次，將這些融化到其最基本的光與能量，把它們連接在一起。
Flipping the card
翻轉卡
If you receive this card, you may want to flip it (flick it in the air between your thumb and middle finger) to see whether unconscious (card lands face up) or subconscious (card lands face down) elements are at play.
如果您收到這張卡，你可能要翻轉（擲茭），看看是無意識（卡面朝上）還是潛意識（卡面朝下）。
Unconscious elements speak of mistaken beliefs about ourselves that are long standing or at soul level.
若卡面朝上，代表潛意識對自己的錯誤信念是久遠或靈魂層面的。
If the card lands face down it signifies a subconscious negative belief, one that typically began in childhood.
如果卡面朝下，代表這是一種潛意識的消極信念，通常始於童年。
The Shadow will then be presented or projected out on to someone who is in your world, and will be acted out by someone whom you can’t stand, find detestable or hateful, and would least like to be with.
陰影在你的世界被提交或投射，藉由別人演出你無法忍受、可恨、可惡或最不願意的情況。
These same qualities are repressed beliefs you have about yourself which are hidden by compensation.
這些品質是你隱藏信念的補償。
But these hidden beliefs are no less self-punishing or destructive to us.
這些隱藏信仰毫不遜色的自我懲罰或破壞我們。
Another symptom suggesting that a shadow figure exists is if you seem to be up against an invisible wall that is holding you back in spite of your hard work or doing all the right things.
另個症狀是，儘管你辛勤工作，或做所有正確的事，卻似乎在對抗一種無形的牆，或被拖著回來。
This is a true sign of a shadow figure’s presence in your mind.
這是影子人物存在心中真正的標誌。
