About the event that leads us to reconsider
our values within a system of choices
that is commonly portrayed as unlimited
freedom. Isolation is universal. This event
or fact comes to the fore as soon as an
individual experiences the need for seclusion,
confi nement, or nihilism. A need to
forego our power of judgment, or else a
need to punish oneself and reach a state
of inhibition and unshakable longing. This
opens the road to voices, to the cries of
fantasy. Then comes the taboo, the guilt
that reinforces doubt, fear, sickness. The
most terrifying things in the world stem
from the human brain. What is left to the
man who is shut up onto himself, beside
the fearsome changes induced by states
of mind that go against reason?
“Fear increases confusion, taboos reinforce
doubt, the abyss is always within
reach, and so it has always been in the
individual.”
“Without interruption from the outside,
one can weave one’s dreams, work on their
substantiality. The hidden life can come
to have more strength than reality... Even
Alexander was more powerful in his
dreams that in front of Issos. Something
comes to us, wealth increases. One must
decide how to control it.” But this cannot
be done as Aladdin did.
