Dear All,

Here is a painting by William Blake.
When a person begins to work on themselves,
and starts to observe the machine,
they quickly reach this awful point in the Work,
when one realizes, to one’s horror,
that we are beasts.
Here is a moment we all have to go through.
It is the third force to “do” something to change this horror.
The next level is when one realizes that one is not in fact
“The Beast” but what is trapped inside.
It is “Seeing” one’s self.

Love,
M
William Blake, Nebuchadnezzar, Circa 1805,
Print with ink and watercolor, Tate Briton, London
