My cult leader has an excellent saying that is tattooed on my mind:

“A nested hierarchy of mechanisms within mechanisms guide us, drive us, push and pull us hither and thither, to and fro, this way and that way.

Know thyself and learn to steer wisely.”

Or, as Artaud put it: “I am he, who in order to be, must whip his innateness”

Build-up.
Breakdown.
Build-up.
Breakdown.
And repeat ad infinitum.
