On Authorship

While listening to a lecture on postmodernism and influence, a sudden recognition stunned me.  

Of course there are no new stories! Of course everything we think, regardless of our erudition or awareness, has been thought many times before!

We all wade blindfolded through the endless pool of knowledge that is the collective unconscious, fishing out random revelations. 

The human brain is not sophisticated enough to fathom the structure of this giant repository, but that structure must exist, as it is fitting for something this complex. 

Its organization is discrete and too close to be perceived as a whole, but acts with the cohesiveness of waves or prevailing winds.
