Excellent!
And very timely as TV news broadcasts are completely tuned to today's students protests in LOndon and around the country. I've had BBC news on and nothing else other than student protest footage is available. Ditto Sky news.
The students claim that they are going to force the government to either back down, or if not, they will bring the government down.
I'll not hold my breath on that - as much as I'd like to see it happen.
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.
