That said, there are those who will react with unrest [demonstrations, strikes, etc.], and those who will foment unrest, hoping to bring about some apocolypse they feel will 'cleanse' the 'nation' and come out better on the other side [I shiver to think what their 'other side' looks like!]. I'm in favor of the former reaction and movement to change the entire system, replace it with a bottom-up one from the now top-down one; from a People and Earth centered philosophy from an Elite and Corporate centered one. Bannon is the most dangerous person in Washington now, IMHO. He has Trumpf's ear and that alone is frightening. A more Rasputin type character I am hard placed to think of...he even makes Rumsfeld look like a nice guy next to his President.
Well, I'm with you entirely in regard to the first option. Using any sort of apocalyptic measures to effect change is madness and abounds with unknown and unforeseen dangers; likewise meddling with the Collective Unconscious for a group-think consensus as the neocons have and are doing is also utter madness in my opinion.
Let's hope and pray that the madmen don't prevail.
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.
