The Voyage Inward
memory regression - revivification -
The formulation of materials that serve as a basis for symbolizations and purposive dramas.
Given the proper formulation, the symbolization and dramatization will occur spontaneously and move toward a unique and specific fulfillment.
I am the thyrus - I have labored
in the vineyard of the world,
have suffered, have died,
and have reborn for your sake
and shall be exalted forevermore.

Oh Benevolent Ruler
Oh Immaculate Despot
What will the morning say?
The bright bolt of love struck
the ground from beneath his feet
tumbling him through the chambers of the void
chasing rabbits late for appointments
slaying dragons, finding grails,
circling circling circling
the gateless gate
entering eternity naked
