This is probably the wrong thread for it, but. My thinking here is twofold. On the one hand there are old prophecies, for want of a better word. But subject to the interest in subjects metaphysical by numerous members of these knightly Orders, there may possibly be a desire to fulfill prophecies for reasons too obscure and crazed to even contemplate. Thus timing is important.
Or simply manufacture amazing events for more mundane reasons. And, I can see how the same timing wold be important in that department too.
But who knows.
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.
