Vol. XIII- Mirrors pt. 2: Narcissus
Added 2024-03-21 00:43:39 +0000 UTCIt has been said that it is a symbol of the imagination--or of consciousness--in its capacity to reflect the formal reality of the visible world. It has also been related to thought, in so far as thought--for Scheler and other philosophers--is the instrument of self-contemplation as well as the reflection of the universe. This links mirror-symbolism with water as a reflector and with the Narcissus myth: the cosmos appears as a huge Narcissus regarding his own reflections in the human consciousness. --J.E. Cirlot

Halfway through this and wanted to pause and praise it. The breakdown of VIDEODROME is great
