"The mistaken and unhappy notion that a man is an enduring unity is known to you. It is also known to youthat man consists of a multitude of souls, of numerous selves. The separation of the unity of the personalityinto these numerous pieces passes for madness. Science has invented the name schizomania for it. Science isin this so far right as no multiplicity may be dealt with unless there be a series, a certain order andgrouping. It is wrong insofar as it holds that one only and binding and lifelong order is possible for themultiplicity of subordinate selves. This error of science has many unpleasant consequences, and the singleadvantage of simplifying the work of the state-appointed pastors and masters and saving them the labors oforiginal thought. In consequence of this error many persons pass for normal, and indeed for highly valuablemembers of society, who are incurably mad; and many, on the other hand, are looked upon as mad who aregeniuses. Hence it is that we supplement the imperfect psychology of science by the conception that we callthe art of building up the soul. We demonstrate to anyone whose soul has fallen to pieces that he canrearrange these pieces of a previous self in what order he pleases, and so attain to an endless multiplicityof moves in the game of life. As the playwright shapes a drama from a handful of characters, so do we fromthe pieces of the disintegrated self build up ever new groups, with ever new interplay and suspense, and newsituations that are eternally inexhaustible." ------*- Hermann Hesse -*------Salvador Dali, Vincent Price MarkRyden Carl Sagan
