The relationship between the sensory body I call my own, and the corporate self to which I awaken each morning on Harris Creek is one of analogy. Metaphor is analogical. The body is a book.

"Universe, like the dictionary, though intergral, is ipso facto nonsimultaneously recollectable; therefore, as with the set of all the words in the dictionary, it is nonsimultaneously reviewable, ergo, is synergetically incomprehensible, as of any one moment, yet is progressively revealing." Buckminster Fuller.

"Progessive revelation." The body and the book reveal the story. The story is the composition; what is left concealed is the decomposition. The sensory body and the book are not only related to each other but to a necessarily concealed third. The conscious self and sensory body do not reveal the unconscious; to see it you must read between the lines.
