Jan, a fascinating post about Deep Throat. Thanks. I think that if this thread is read in conjunction with the extracts from Carl Ogelsby's book "Yankee and Cowboy War" (see forum 'Books' folder: http://www.deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/....php?t=311), then a far clearer picture of the covert background and battle of wills to the Watergate saga begins to crystalize and clarify. For me anyway.
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.
