Meaning lies in the confrontation of contradiction - the coincidencia apositorum. Thatโs what we really feel, not these rational schemes that are constantly beating us over the head with the โthou shaltsโ and โthou shouldโ, but rather a recovery of the real ambiguity of being and an ability to see ourselves as at once powerful and weak, noble and ignoble, future-oriented, past-facing.
Terence McKennaThe creative act is a letting down of the net of human imagination into the ocean of chaos on which we are suspended, and the attempt to bring out of it ideas.
