John Connally, who is on the list from The Mafia CIA and George Bush, is noted as having said (I believe, anyway): 'If the American people knew what was really going on, there would be a revolution.'
I've certainly heard that before Lauren, but am not sure of its origin (I thought it was from the mouth of Poppy Bush?). But I suspect it is de facto true, even if it's a sort of urban myth too. What governments do in the name of the people, have to be kept secret to stop citizen revolutions. Same thing here in Blighty, imho.
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.
