"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves." - C.G. Jung
We get hints about our unconscious programming if we watch our reactions/responses, sensations and thoughts about other people and events.
Ask yourself these questions:
1. How do I judge / stereotype people?
2. What pushes my buttons?
3. What makes me angry / fearful / sad?
The outer occurrences that trigger these reactions in me simply MIRROR my own nature. If I didn't have faiths around the problems that bother me, where would my responses come from? If I didn't have some reference within, I wouldn't respond at all.
When outer occurrences spark a response, we need to look within to explore what’s going on.
"We discover in ourselves what others hide from us and we recognize in others what we hide from ourselves." - Vauvenargues
