"Hieros Gamos" refers to a ritual in which two seeming opposites become a unity. This book explores various of these dualities, these contrasting views. The most notable being self & universe, and madness & meaning. The first part explores the impact that 'having' a self-image can have. It also explores different world views that these selves have come up with. The second part is an interpretation of an account of madness, as if it were not madness but supreme meaning. The conclusion is that the search for objective truth is one of the world's biggest problems. Letting go of having to 'hold this grail', one is freed. The answer is not absolute subjectivity, but something in between, perhaps inter-subjectivity. Nature can be accepted as an omniscient and omnipotent force. Her interconnectedness may be revered. She is a monad, containing many monads. She is paradox and riddle, but also the aurora of the philosophers.
