David Guyatt's signature quote from Jung -- "It is a frightening thought that man also has a shadow side to him, consisting not just of little weaknesses- and foibles, but of a positively demonic dynamism" -- put me in mind of a criminally neglected work by David Ray Griffin published in 1997.
Parapsychology, Philosophy, and Spirituality: A Postmodern Exploration (State University of New York Press: a volulme in the SUNY series in Constructive Postmodern Thought, edited by Griffin) speaks to issues addressed by Jung and appreciated by David and many more of us.
Prior to 9-11, Griffin was renowned for his philosophical examinations of the nature -- and the problem -- of evil. I commend this book to your attention with the utmost urgency.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
