Thank you Tony. That is almost precisely the point I have been making.
Like Magda, I am convinced that Jeffrey is just an ordinary guy making a repetitive argument.
Amongst others.
But the real point is that the way our argument is conducted and the way we comport ourselves, is at least as important as the arguments we make.
I do not intend to belabour this point further or post further.

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.
