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

This is very important, David, and I thank you for it.
I have the temerity to rephrase a key line thusly: Life is posed as a question to me.

David,
What can you tell us about the Nautis Project? What are your thoughts on the work of Rupert Sheldrake, in particular his morphic resonance hypothesis?

Thanks Charlie. I also think it is a very important essay -- for al sorts of reasons.
On the Nautis Project the following link may be of some help: http://www.nautis.com/ I haven't read Sheldrake in well over 20 years (it seems anyway) and can't remember an awful lot due to the inherent rotting of my mind. :-) 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.
