The Shadow That Shapes Us All
What if the greatest threat to humanity isn't some external force, but something that lurks within our own psyches? Robert Moore's "Facing the Dragon" explores this unsettling truth: the destructive forces we fear most reside within us. This isn't merely philosophical musing-it's a psychological reality with profound implications for our personal and collective survival. The "dragon" represents those grandiose energies within us that, when denied or unacknowledged, transform into destructive forces capable of horrific manifestation. While many spiritual teachers emphasize the sacred's proximity, Moore's work centers on a more disturbing reality: the demonic dwells within us. This understanding bridges psychological insight and spiritual wisdom in ways few scholars have achieved, offering a roadmap for confronting the destructive grandiosity threatening our well-being and collective future.
