Water Symbolizes The Whole Of Potentiality -

The Great Cosmic Illusion Is A Hierophany.... One Is Devoured By Time, Not Because One Lives In Time, But Because One Believes In Its Reality, And Therefore Forgets Or Despises Eternity.

In Imitating The Exemplary Acts Of A God Or Of A Mythic Hero, Or Simply By Recounting Their Adventures, The Man Of An Archaic Society Detaches Himself From Profane Time And Magically Re-enters The Great Time, The Sacred Time.

Man Becomes Aware Of The Sacred Because It Manifests Itself, Shows Itself, As Something Wholly Different From The Profane.

The Primitive Magician, The Medicine Man Or Shaman Is Not Only A Sick Man, He Is Above All, A Sick Man Who Has Been Cured, Who Has Succeeded In Curing Himself.

It Would Be Frightening To Think That In All The Cosmos, Which Is So Harmonious, So Complete And Equal To Itself, That Only Human Life Is Happening Randomly, That Only One's Destiny Lacks Meaning.
