I was struck by the description* by a schizophrenic of how he heard voices singing above him, ** and saw a spaceship with a red light high in the sky… suggesting that schizophrenics perceive as actual (ie external) manifestations which I perceive as not actual but real (ie inner) in my writing.* As I am not schizophrenic,*** but write about disintegration and integration of the personality (etc) in archetypically symbolic form, this suggests strongly that Jung was on to something. <.2335>****

***[cf eg [Redbook3:15-16][19860907:0612j]{A Dream: [(6)] of Madness}[7^th September 1986];

& a letter written by the writer’s university college authorities to his parents during his first year (discovered by the writer very much later) enquiring whether there was any history of mental illness in the family.]
