…we know that it is the people who do not know enough about their own shadow and their own dark side who are most likely to fall victims to evil influences.
If one knows the evil possibilities within oneself, then one develops a kind of second sight or capacity for getting a whiff of the same thing in other people.
A jealous woman who has realized her own jealousy will always recognize jealousy in the eyes of another woman. The only way, therefore, not to walk through the world like an innocent well-brought-up fool , protected by father and mother from the evils of this world, and therefore cheated and lied to and stolen from at every corner, is to go down into the depths of one’s own evil, which enables one usually to develop the instinctual recognition of corresponding elements in other people.
