Jung takes the concept of Aristotelian balance as it was introduced in virtue theory and plays with it in new ways. He matches it with the necessity of opposites, and thus created a new theorem: If you are masculine, there is necessarily a feminine portion of you- and if there is a feminine portion of you it must be contended with. He suggests bringing them into a balance by delving into the "Shadow" (slay the bloody dragon)where the uncontended anima/animus reside. If you are able to bring things into proper order (Adequate order AND adequate chaos. Too much of one will lead you to being possesed by animus/anima....being transgendered) you are closer to your fully actuated self. Jungs Self resembles the "ideal" you.

Id like another Jungian to vouch for what im saying, or disagree with the nitty gritty details. The devil is always in the details
