It is interesting to observe that persons set out to de-personalize themselves, to experience themselves as machines. Science disenchants the world of human experience; science is anti-magic. The project is to surgically remove the fantasy from the body, to produce a human body free of fantasy. The project is utterly fantastic.

The scientist is not born, but built up brick by brick in the light of day. The creature that is born from the dark waters of the womb, out into the light of day is enchanted, soaked in fantasy; reality is born of fantasy. The creature remains fantastic, the project is never complete, the body is never healed of its disease. The fantasy behind the sceintific/technological method is the fantasy of cure.

Humans would fit in reality except for their fantasies; fantasy defies the reality principle. The structure of reality is confronted with the flow of the id. The ego/super-ego body is the battleground. Fantastic desires always exceed the bounndaries eternally set by reality. Buckminster Fuller says, "The eternal generalized principles alone are real." The remainder is fantastic. It is Sunday morning on Harris Creek and the authorities have thrown me an hour ahead of myself.
