#1 The shadow is the dark side of human nature, and it exists for everyone. It is a human creation, not a cosmic force or a universal curse. It can’t be cured, but it can be diminished.

#2 The shadow is not a result of demonic possession. It is a result of failed ideals that once seemed like perfect solutions. Each solution matches a picture of what the dark side is all about.

#3 The first step toward dealing with the shadow is to acknowledge its power. We have a self-destructive side, and when we don’t see it, we give the shadow more and more power over us.

#4 The dark side of human nature is a result of the application of higher consciousness. It’s not the answer that’s at fault here, but rather the superficial understanding of it.
