conscious realizations of autonomous archetypal powers in the psyche...
what (in your words) is the "rabbit hole"?

The rabbit hole is that dark place in the hills outside of town where you go in case you see through the Game of Civilization. Each culture has one. Though few may feel driven to go exploring outside of city walls, the call will come through in any way it can find.

I don't agree. It's not that black and white. The rabbit hole is amazing if you don't freak out.

Yes, at a certain point, if you look deep enough, the abyss will disappear along with you. That's what they say when one goes too far down.

Yeah, the rabbit hole is a novel idea. Once you try and step outside of the human culture and basic programs then things start to waver and one loses a solid grip on the personality structure. What ever is outside of the human cultural perspective is the unknown. I think?

I'll go with that notion.
Sometimes I think about how we have been claiming all this land on Earth and sticking flags in the ground and putting up borders and all that jazz; yet still, I feel that there might also a kind of psychic terrain that has its own mountains and molehills still untouched by territorial endeavors. If this reflects some truth then I would assume that this is a realm that can be accessed linguistically and with the aid of DMT.

There are many rabbit holes.
We couldn't say exactly where all the rabbit holes are and how deep they go, but I can sure as hell tell you that they are not in our TVs, in schools, mass media, etc... They're around.. but we're conditioned not to look.
And it fuckin pisses me off that to go down the rabbit holes is not valued in society and if you do you are ridiculed and considered "weird".

I think it's a fear thing. People are afraid of the unknown and are uncertain about what doors may be opened if rabbit hole exploring was encouraged.

hence we remain enslaved for all of enternity...
the fear of the unknown, or the fear of letting what's known be free for all to see. What would the world be like then?
