I for one have been very much been hoping that this topic would be opened up, and have been saddened that it has gone by the wayside. And having said that, I only have faint clues about its content. I recall there have been references to the Qaballah and elite satanic networks in the Eyes Wide Open thread.
At any rate, I think this is an important theme and hope that when the time comes, you push forward.
I don't think we're talking about the Jewish Qabalah, Lauren, which remains the foundation stone of all western occult practises - simply because it delivers access and a roadmap to the Collective Unconscious. At least once all the mumbo jumbo has been stripped away.
But I may be wrong. Peter might have this in mind too? Yet I suspect not.
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.
