This divorce between seeing and touching, this flirtation between what can be touched and what is untouchable, this duality between that which reflects and that which is reflected, forms the foundation for the autonomous power of the reflection, an intangible but visible entity—the negative that is the hollow between the I and its shadow. What remains is the explosion. There is, in effect, no reflection without a certain way of playing light against shadow and vice versa. Without this game there can be neither appearance nor apparition. To a large extent, it is the explosion that makes it possible to open up the rectangle of life. Once this rectangle is open, the initiated can finally see, as if upside down, the back of the world, the other face of life. They can,
finally, go to meet the solar face of the shadow—the true and final power.
