“Contemporary man is blind to the fact that, with all his rationality and efficiency, he is possessed by "powers" that are beyond his control. His gods and demons have not disappeared at all; they have merely got new names. They keep him on the run with restlessness, vague apprehensions, psychological complications, an insatiable need for pills, alcohol, tobacco, food - and, above all, a large array of neuroses. “
~ Carl Jung

This piece that can emerge within them, at any point and disrupt our realities and shake the foundation of who we are. Taking us off guard by unexpectedly shifting our energy, entering and dirtying our space, and holding our future hostage to their will.
