The "biological organism" is abstracted from an abstraction. Abstraction is repression. The dream is never absent, rather, it is just beyond the horizon of waking consciousness. The whole corporate body is simultaneously composing and decomposing; one hemisphere is blinded by the light. To be conscious, that is, to "see by the light of day," is to be unconscious of the dark. Repression, or, abstraction is a response to the fear of the world of darkness. We are, all of us in the play, afraid of the dark.

The Hero''s mother speaks: "Child,/how could you cross alive into this gloom/at the world's end?---No sight for living eyes; great currents run between, desolate waters,/the Ocean first, where no man goes a journey/without ship's timber under him." The Odyssey.

It is the contest, the agon, the drama that is the history of Western Civilization, that is the immune system, the tribal circle, that protects the people from the night. The enemy is a scapegoat, or, a co-conspirator; the war is the defense.
