Ed Jewett Wrote:My friend the Coptic Christian from Egypt confirmed for me this morning what I thought was going on. Mubarak was thrown out by a military coup. When I asked my Coptic friend if the Egyptian Army was on the side of the people, he said "Of course... they didn't fire on us", and then we agreed that we all need to be in this together. He said 'Yes, my friend. It is the same in your house or my house, in your wallet or my wallet. What you saw in Egypt is the Muslim linking hand in hand with the Christian, refusing to be divided us against them any longer.'
Fingers crossed then Ed.
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.
