Thanks Mark.
I was simply parroting the view of someone else. I don't feel able to share the identity of that person - who is a well known British figure - on a public forum for reasons I care not to go into.

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.
