The Idea That if We Do Not Begin to See Things...


Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn

The idea that if we do not begin 
to see things in ourselves that horrify us, 
we cannot evolve. 
It is a necessary part of the process of awakening. 
I have verified recently that the machine 
can detour these important glimpses of ourselves 
which we need to process and purify. 
It can make us feel guilty, for instance, 
and then we start to buffer. 
Or it can rationalize these faults, 
making them commonplace, so that we can go back to sleep… 
I am trying to make peace with my features, s
o that I can lovingly let them go, let them be in their proper place.
