I need to add a PS here. The Freemason get an awful lot of bad press, and rightly so too. Members have used their Brotherhood to enrich themselves, to cover up and avoid criminal prosecution and punishment and a lot more besides. But I know for a fact that there are many Freemasons who are honest people who aim is only to extend their own consciousness and those of others too. These are the spiritually inclined whereas the others are selfishly inclined.
I have to say I intensely dislike secret societies and consider in the case of Freemasons that their membership roll be made public -- as the the Blair government was going to do but which Jack Straw as Home Secretary badly fudged - as all politicians are inclined to do - and ultimately chose not to proceed with.

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.
