Excerpt from Book PART I The Problem-- Spiritual Bankruptcy We have no imagination for Evil, but Evil has us in its grip. --C. G. Jung Introduction: Shame as Demonic (The Internalization Process) As Ive delved deeper into the destructive power of toxic shame, Ive come to see that it directly touches the age-old theological and metaphysical discussion generally referred to as the problem of evil.
