One of my favorite things ever recorded - if you haven't already, prepare for a wild, wild, ride. Come join my Patreon! https://patreon.com/HemlockPatreon But first the notion that man has a body distinct from his soul is to be expunged; this I shall do by printing in the infernal method by corrosives, which in Hell are salutary and medicinal, melting apparent surfaces away, and displaying the infinite which was hid. If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern. -William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, 1790.
