Textausschnitt: () because images orient our feelings, and because knowing depends on the desire to know that emerges in wondering and questioning, we may prevent unwanted discoveries about our psychic selves by redirecting those feelings; we reorient such feeling because they would evoke questions that would condition the probable insights which, in turn, would lead to the disclosure of a personal identity that we are anxious to keep underground and unappropriated.
