If a man is endowed with an ethical sense and is convinced of the sanctity of ethical values, he is on the surest road to a conflict of duty. And although this looks desperately like a moral catastrophe, it alone makes possible a higher differentiation of ethics and a broadening of consciousness. A conflict of duty forces us to examine our conscience and thereby to discover the shadow.
Carl G. Jung - Collected Works vol 18 - Depth Psychology and a New Ethic - P.17
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 G. Jung Collected Works vol 9, Part II: Aion P.14
Despite all attempts at denial and obfuscation there is an unconscious factor, a black sun, which is responsible for the surprisingly common phenomenon of masculine split-mindedness, when the right hand mustn't know what the left is doing.
Carl G Jung, Collected Works vol 15 - Mysterium Coniunctionis: p331 and p332
Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the Shadow of the other.
