Possibly just a coincidence, they do sometimes happen. On the other hand the number 22 crops up a great deal more in the media and on the internet then pure chance suggests (in my opinion anyway). I used to record and list it whenever I came across it. Might it be accident that this numbers appears so often? Yes, it might be an accident. On the other hand it might be something else altogether. Who knows for sure.
I would merely mention that the number holds a tremendous amount of occult symbolism, which I won't go into here.
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.
