The EF is well past its useful shelf life and grows dimmer all the time. The Troll-life there - who are banned from here - seek to snare the few unwary souls remaining there into volatile and unpleasantly emotive arguments because they control the forum and can delete posts and threads to suit their own agenda. They enjoy causing mayhem and giggle between themselves like naughty children at their success at duping people into playing their puerile games.

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.
