[continued]

The Conscious and the Unconscious are highly relevant to the whole question of Angelic Qualities: why (for example) do these manifest themselves in Human form or image only in fiction* or on (or near) the edge of sleep? I speculate that this is because these are the only occasions in which, in normal life,** the conscious Awareness (the Self) allows them to make their presence known.

As some support of this idea of suppression by the Self, I note that in my Journals I-IV a period of reasonably persistent versifying faded in about 1978***, at just about the time when a succession of dreams of varying intensity began to register themselves in my awareness; and that this period has faded in 1986/7, when I feel a great breakthrough in communication and mutual acceptance between different levels of my Mind (i.e. shortly after the start of Vol[ume] III).

*or poetry/verse, of course: Art generally, I guess.

V. [] 14.

***I was also writing fiction. This began shortly after the sense of (being) the +C archetype (as I now believe it to be) faded in my mind: to reappear in the fiction.
