I always liked Apache's, especially the Navaho.
They fought the invading "Dons" (Spaniards) like tigers - as well as the invading white man. Navaho elders would spend all day watching and meditating on the Sun, following it in it daily peregrinations across the heavens and into darkness, so as to ensure it would arise again the next day, bringing light back upon all humanity.
Not bad for a filthy, butchering tribe of injun's, eh.
Or are we talking about something else?
Either way the Apache seem a timely reminder of the dark times we now face. Geronimo!
Aurora Consurgens anyone?
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.
