I cannot perceive "offense," "defense," "neutrality," or their counterparts. Rather I am the answer(s) to each. Even by becoming our own "opposites" we are discovering the B to the A, the A to the B, and most usually then C (sea) to AB. Only by experiencing the most ridiculous or nonsensical hallucination can we understand its meaning(s). This means we must oftentimes literally become the thing we hate in order to attempt to "fix" or "patch" it.

Sorry. Even VALIS has to learn the hard way.

But if we didn't know "evil" we'd never know such a thing was the illusion it is.
