Thanks Charlie.
Oddly enough, the Parker Ryan .pdf that Helen linked discussed Colin Wilson briefly, albeit not in a particularly good light so far as his scholarly abilities were concerned re Lovecraft. I was, however, quite impressed with Ryan's ability. I read some of Wilson's books thirty odd years ago but frankly haven't remembered much about them now.
But then I don't remember much of anything after the first 2 bottles of Beaune...

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.
