Dear Mike and all,

I personally feel that Alice has hit the nail directly on the head: We DO

have a " granfaloon " here, and as a result,

the collective Shadow has constellated. The internet may be a vast,

unknowable ocean, but we have here---in our

Jung-Fire---a container of sorts which springs a leak once in a while. The

loftiness of some of the recent topics has

caused some projections to be hurled. I do believe that this is a natural

process----but at times a most unpleasant

one. I also believe it can be weathered---that is, worked through---and can

even lead to greater wholeness.

Mike, I fervently hope that, by now, you have perceived that the 12 persons

who allegedly wrote about your so-called

" foul behavior " (and we have no proof of these allegations) would not

represent the opinions of a majority of the people

on this list. You are now hearing from the rest of us who do not see you

and your role as moderator in this negative light. Alice,andmany others

(including myself) see in you a truly positive force which has contributed

so very much to

the success of this group.

This certainly isn't the first time the group's Shadow has cropped up---and

I suspect it won't be the last. In the past,

people have managed to own their projections and have continued to

contribute. It seems to me that the group has

become stronger as a result. I feel this is all a part of the learning

process---the unconscious, over and over again,

becomes conscious and our bond is strengthened. To me, this just shows the

validity of Jung's vision of the way the

psyche---including the group psyche----works!

Please stay!

Trish (who can't contribute much to certain topics, but who loves the group

and learns much from it!)
