@alon_mizrahi 2/ What looks like “angry disconnectedness”, as you call it, is not meaningless. It is meaningful as a psychotic episode is: revelatory if seen with archetypal eyes—gods of pathology center-staged, severance from soil and body, sacred hunger gone feral. A map to missing ground.

We flee precisely that awkward point of tension where the transformational alchemy of Awakening occurs. 2/
