If truth is eternal as Plato taught, and it is outside our senses, then it is something that is discovered, not invented, as Jung and others seemingly knew. Oppressing or suppressing it will only dim the light of understanding.

A jelly-fish withering on the shore of the sea of thought. The cackle surviving the egg. A desiccated epigram.”
