I mention in passing that Scottish Rite freemasonry has a presence in discussions some of our have had in relation to Kubrick's last film, Eyes Wide Shut - especially post no 21 and 31. I also note that the "chair" used by Red Cloak in the occult ceremony in that same film, specifically exhibited 33rd degree symbols of the Scottish Rite. I've covered this on the forum somewhere, but damned if I can find it now. But no matter. Here it is again (more or less anyway):

Long used as the insigne of a Scottish Rite Mason, the "Double Headed Eagle of Lagash" is now the accepted emblem in the United States of America of the 32 Degree. It is the oldest crest in the world. It was a symbol of power more than two thousand years before the building of King Solomon's Temple. No other heraldic bearing, no other emblematic device of today can boast such antiquity."
Incidentally, in the above screenshot, there is an Egyptian Uraeus Serpent with the two heads on the back of the chair. This relates to the Sun, and the two heads -- which face and East and West, relate to the rising and setting of the Sun. (from The Kentroversy Papers)

The double-headed eagle is one of the most ancient and prominent symbols of Freemasonry. A crowned double headed eagle is representative of the 33rd degree of Freemasonry, the highest degree attainable. Is Kubrick implying that the High Priest is a 33rd Degree Freemason? (From Vigilant Citizen)I also note that Kubrick's film had what appears to be all the usual ingredients.... a murder of a prostitute (a substitution killing), paedophilia (the two Japanese men in the costume shop, Rainbow Fashions with the under age owner's daughter).
Lastly, Kubrick's choice of the password Fidelio, to gain entrance to the occult orgy derives from Beethoven's opera of that name. Beethoven is though to have been a Freemason by several freemasonic groups - although no definite records appear to exists now. This whole Fidelio matters seems to have been a straight lift from Arthur Schnitzler's Dream Novella where the password used was Denmark --- signifying, apparently, that "something is rotten in the state...". And it now seems certain that Kubrick based his film on this novel - at least in part - according to this analysis on Schnitzler's book.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
