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.

Finally, maybe, a chance to do something besides lurk....
A very entertaining music documentary by Howard Goodall includes a discussion of the pentatonic scale. Maybe the link works....

Thank you again, Charles... that's a richly-loaded resource.... It may help if I want to be a musician the next time around the wheel.
