Would you drive the moneychangers
out of the temple? It's their temple. (the Art

Egotism creates empires, but Empire also creates
egos. The missing link is collectivized
education: the means is by preventing contempla-
tion (which would develop [the power of voluntary]
attention). That's why dogma is so important
to an empire. Without knowledge of real things
to furnish a common context, the only basis for
human relations must then be a rigidly preserved
terminology. [N.B. Dogmas need not be verbal. Many
of ours are made of images.]

The ego is finite and unbounded.
Psychologies have been founded on either of these
(half-) truths.

The concept of the Unconscious means: here there
are no more explanations. --But that assumes
explanations must be rational. If explanations are
instead 'stories', then the unconscious is also a
story, and can be elaborated. Once there were two
brothers who lived in the same house. But these
were blind and deaf brothers, and each thought that
he was alone. A day came when things were no longer
where they were supposed to be. They couldn't find
anything half the time. "Am I going crazy?" they
said to themselves, "Or do things move of their own
accord?"
