Which is one fo the reasons for those elements in d*g that--to speak
naively perhaps--are imaginative, visionary, magical. Not for any truths,
but that these are remarkalbe forces/state/sbecomings that work by
tugging apart, mutating and even multiplying to some hallucinogenic
extreme the fabric of the commonsensual. When I see the moonlight as the
cold stroke of wolves' paw across my cheek, my sense is sensual, but not
common. This zone is not pre-given, mystical, but constructed through the
dissolution of the already striated common sense--the commonality of my
senses with the abstract sense of society.
