"Unconscious work gives birth to the spirit of place within the individual, which is felt when it is there, and terrifyingly missed when it seems to have departed.”

    Christopher Bollas – Cracking Up  1995

“He has never been, throughout the eternity prior to that moment. Never. But this thought, that a whole infinity had to pass before he was rescued from naught, scarcely troubles him. What he is apprehensive about, if not terrified, is death. Most of us are, to some extent. Presumably, our fear arises from the awareness that we are to return to the nothingness whence we came. What troubles us is the going there, not the coming therefrom.”
