Ora Et Labora
"The expansion of consciousness, requires impossibly dangerous forays into the subconscious and collective subconscious – these for my exp bring with them terrible demons, transference, melancholy, psychological instability and near psychosis. Repressed contents are repressed for good reason but to broaden the psyche as it were requires the “assimilation” of some extraordinarily nasty and combative elements locked in deep recesses we'd really rather not know about and are kept there for our safety. Because we really do not know ourselves more than the small range of pereceptive quality the ego consciousness allows – and reaching for more invites the darkest alchemy of all. But it is the gate of genius and madness and the Temple stands at its threshold. Are we fools to cross – is the question that may be answered with our destruction." [Lib. I.S.S.]
