Every human being carries a Self far larger than the ego — Jung's archetypal Self, what Moore calls the Great Self Within — and its energies are grandiose by nature. Uncontained, they inflate you, get projected onto other people and tribes, or turn inward as a gray depression. The dragon cannot be killed. It has to be faced, contained, befriended and eventually ridden — twelve chapters and twenty-six laws, laid out here as a practice you can actually run.
A close reading of Robert L. Moore's Facing the Dragon: Confronting Personal and Spiritual Grandiosity (Chiron, 2003): the Great Self Within, the ego–Self axis, the four dragon hells, all twenty-six Dragon Laws, and the practice in the order he gave it.
