USA under presidency of a know-nothing, neo-fascist, racist, sexist, mobbed-up narcissist!!
I know this will sound incredibly cynical and passe, and I had considered not saying it. But it's relevant, I think.

Quote:The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. That is to say, when the individual remains undivided and does not become conscious of his inner opposite, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposing halves.

Carl Jung
Collected Works 9ii
AION
Paragraph 126

I've just checked the para in Aion 9ii and it's actually a fairly lengthy para - as they tended to be in Jung's day - but for me it is telling and highly relevant to what we see unfolding.

Quote:Today, as never before, humanity is split into two apparently irreconcilable halves. The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. That is to say, when the individual remains undivided and does not become conscious of his inner opposite, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposing halves.

I'll get my coat.
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.
Carl Jung - Aion (1951). CW 9, Part II: P.14
