  5. Iulia

    Iulia edited the memorable quotes of Valis Wednesday, May 19, 2010.

    • Added a quotation: “What we have here is a Zen paradox. That which makes no sense makes the most sense. I am being caught in a sin of the highest magnitude: using Aristotelian two-value logic: 'A thing is either A or not-A' (The Law of the Excluded Middle). Everybody knows that Aristotelian two-value logic is fucked.Narrator
    • Added a quotation: “An irruption from the collective unconscious, Jung taught, can wipe out the fragile individual ego. In the depths of the collective the archetypes slumber; if aroused, they can heal or they can destroy. This is the danger of the archetypes; the opposite qualities are not yet separated. Bipolarization into paired opposites does not occur until consciousness occurs.Narrator
