Conviction is Loss Prevention. It is the tendency to cling
to existing Prejudices despite overwhelming evidence of equally sensible Ways.
It belongs pitifully to those who see all the doors to all the rooms of
Possibility they have never been in*. It is the amplifier to a misguided voice
which has no ear for Reason. It is the clinging to a truism like the pinching
of a penny-pincher.
It is the focus upon a solid, sordid path with no mindfulness
of peripheral Vision.
Any intrusion from the Unconscious is believed to belong to
the Devil, because one is insecure in that land and wants only to protect one’s
home for within. It is the echo of countless repetitions – an erected Idol in
the mind that one does not dare to pass even though it cannot truly See.
It is madness that leads others to madness. It most fears
that rarest of Beasts: The Question.
*, but do not enter.
Dm.A.A.
