Tracy Riddle Wrote:"The collective group mind of DPF"?
Sorry, I won't be part of a hive or cult. I have my own mind and I think for myself. If you expect people to become part of the "collective group mind of DPF" it will continue to shrink as it has been lately.
If you don't agree with Jeffrey, then just ignore him and stop arguing with him.
No member is "expected" to become part of a collective mind, Tracy - or for matter encouraged to. There is no hive or cult here either.
People should think for your themselves. I certainly do.
On the "collective" mind phenomenon, I would recommend reading the Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung - a taster HERE.
Hope this helps, but if not PM me and I can provide a more comprehensive guide to the subject.
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.
