Shadow, Part Two

So far we’ve looked at the personal shadow as it relates to the Feminine Principle.  As I think about it, working with shadow is the absolute core of the Feminine Principle.  It is the most direct way to acquire insight and self-knowledge, not only personally but as a nation as well. Our  nation has a consciousness and a shadow just like an individual has a personal one.  It is what C.J. Jung called the ‘collective shadow’.  As a nation we are currently deeply involved in shadow-work, discovering who we are and what we want to be as a nation.  The Feminine Principle lives!
