A new five part drama on BBC, and excellent too. It is almost certainly modelled on the life and death of Gareth Williams, the GCHQ/SIS code and cipher expert found dead in a padlocked sports bag in a bath in an MI6 flat in Pimlico. I wonder if it is the true story or just a thoughtful and imaginative spin of it.
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.
