Hi Tosh. I've been away for a few weeks (and am still away in fact but just droppping by) and so am not up to speed on things - but I will spend time reading when I return tomorrow evening or Tuesday. Take care.
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.
