Jack, thanks for yours also. On Jung, I knew his Grandson and a few of those who trained with him - he was the real thing. Few if any are now left from those days and finding a good "Jungian" is like searching for a virgin in a bordello. There are a few around that I know, but they are generally mighty thinly spread on the ground these days.
I did read Twain's essay and mighty good it was too. I am an admirer of his wit and intelligence.

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.
