This question is related to the question above so I thought I'd just add it as part of the same thread.
What happens to the shadow aspect of a person as they develop spiritually? Wilber seems to indicate that we all develop at different rates and in different areas. So, does the overall shadow diminish? Or does the shadow in certain areas diminish? Or does the shadow stay alive and active in some areas but diminish in others?
What about the guru/master/teacher who is spiritually evolved but socially undeveloped? Or the guru/master/teacher who is spiritually evolved but, yet, violates the trust of his/her devotees/students? Are they really spiritually evolved at all? What role does the shadow play in the lives of the "masters" after they make claims of spiritual evolvement? If we put this in a Christian context, did Jesus have a shadow?
Thanks.
