There are deep politics, and at a more subterranean level, there are deep occult politics.
We know this to be the case because of the deeply political occult Catholic Martinist lodge - of the Papus, AMORC and Synarchy variety.
Not to mention the far older and very occult Order of Knights Templar that has waged bloody and pitiless war on behalf of the Church for many hundreds of years - and exists still, having been forced underground just over 700 years ago. But the current incumbent of St. Peter's throne, Benedict XVI, formally apologized to them in 2007 for their suppression and persecution.
And I suppose, therefore, it shouldn't surprise us that deep occult doctrines filter up into secret societies like SMOM and Opus Dei etc., and inform their world perspectives.

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.
