freud had his id ego and superego ... hegel his thesis antithesis and synthesis ... instinct meets reason intuition is born ... demiurge archons and keroma ... chaotic hell on earth ... swirls of trinities each claiming to be holy but each is filled with violence ... order and calm murdered in a corner ... daimonic fury let loose ... wits at their end ... spirit tortured or at best detached ... tell us a story of peace ... there is no peace no peace without war ... there is a trinity a holy trinity communion with which is our goal ... but in this world we are not yet free ... which means war ... now add to this combat further and more reason and good sense ... add courage and prudence ... temper the pleasure and the pain ... now add just one thing more ... victory ... not just more thought but profundity ... and there now here now this is a story to tell ... another trinity by reflection ... daimon psyche and pneuma ... instinct given time enough would kill the soul just to kill time ... and the mind would be overwhelmed ... without the spirit to love and be loved 2/3
