"If you imagine someone who is brave enough to withdraw all his projections,
then you get an individual who is conscious of a pretty thick shadow.
Such a man has saddled himself with new problems and conflicts.
He has become a serious problem to himself, as he is now unable to say
that they do this or that, they are wrong, and they must be fought against.
He lives in the "House of the Gathering." Such a man knows that whatever
is wrong in the world is in himself, and if he only learns to deal with his
own shadow he has done something real for the world.
He has succeeded in shouldering at least an infinitesimal
part of the gigantic, unsolved social problems of our day."

Carl Jung
"Psychology and Religion" (1938).
