I realize that Peter Dawson has now been banned, so I am only going to point out the following in order to correct any lingering doubt about his continued misrepresentation of the stated facts:
Jim Fetzer clearly stated in his post No. 179 that: "it is my understanding that the Hubble Space Telescope has been forbidden to look at the Moon. If that's true..."
Firstly it was an "understanding" not a statement of fact. You cannot sue someone for their "understanding" whether that "understanding" is accurate or not.
Secondly, no matter how many dictionaries you consult, you can no more libel (or, indeed, slander) a telescope than a telegraph pole - or a hatstand, or a handkerchief. Because it is a thing not a person. Ergo, the Hubble Space telescope is a thing, not a person.
To say otherwise is to willfully misrepresent Jim Fetzer's post.
End of story.

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.
