Dualism... Good and evil, heaven and earth, reality and appearance, matter and spirit... We could go on and on: the dualistic vision of things, the idea of ​​the coexistence of two antithetical principles, seems really congenial to humans; and it is easy to grasp, at the base, the dissatisfaction with what is, the yearning for a perfect, certain, true reality.

Our work, our actions, are an effort of metamorphosis. It is like a purification ritual in the alchemical sense. First there must be a period of disorder, of chaos, a return to a land of primordial disaster. In this way the elements are purified and a new seed of life is found which transforms all existence, all matter, all personality, until finally, hopefully, one emerges to recompose all dualism and opposition. Then we will no longer speak of Evil and Good but of something uniform and pure. (Jim Morrison)
