Tosh Plumlee Wrote:"The Invisible Government was born December 7, 1941, in the smoke and rubble of Pearl Harbor." At the end of World War II, President Truman disbanded the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS). "Some of the OSS agents went into Army Intelligence. Others were transferred to the State Department. There they formed the nucleus of what became the Bureau of Intelligence and Research, an important branch of the Invisible Government."
This quote reminds me quite strongly of the recent film, The Good Shepherd. A quite insightful film I thought.
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.
