    Jung : The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made
    conscious , it happens outside, as fate. That is to say, when the individual
    remains undivided and does not become conscious of his inner contradictions,
    the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposite halves.

    ZAMM: identity is divided in beginning and united at the end

    LILA: identity is unified at the beginning but is divided at end ( end has
    this “voice” which calls a new branch of personality)

    Okay this quote reminded me of Matt talking about the public/private split.
    I think its interesting that if your identity is divided the world appears
    unified and if your identity is appeared as unified the world appears divided

    Somebody mentioned that they thought Rigel represented “father”.
    I think that’s good. I am starting to think that the dead doll represents a
    dead mother.
    I know this is not any proof of my guess but I do remember reading
    somewhere on the site that he mentioned going to Sweden (or was it
    Switzerland?), land of his mothers ancestors, while working on Lila.

    Okay so i know this idea is going to be argued
    as SOM or whatnot but would like feedback,
    even the negative thrashing kind (ready for ya squonk).

    It just seems if your identity feels SOMish the world
    appears MOQish and if your identity feels
    MOQish the world appears SOMish?
