Genie

Random quote of the day:

“Neurosis is essentially a loss of contact with reality. We all possess a ‘reality function’—the ability to reach out and make contact with reality. It is obviously weaker in children than adults, because the child has had less experience of reality, and therefore finds it harder to evoke reality ‘inside his own head,’ so to speak. For this is what is at issue: the ability to summon reality, like summoning the genie from the lamp, and to make it present itself inside one’s own head.”

—Colin Wilson, C. G. Jung: Lord of the Underworld
