Creating Art externalises your Psyche, your Soul, the Union of Spirit and Matter.
The Union of Gold and Silver, Sun and Moon, King and Queen.
The uniting of Subject and Object is the Great Work, the realisation that every Object is a manifestation of Subject.

“Basing his work on the strange legend that Ts'ui Pên had intended to construct an infinite labyrinth and on a cryptic letter from Ts'ui Pên himself stating, "I leave to several futures (not to all) my garden of forking paths," Doctor Albert realized that the "garden of forking paths" was the novel and that the forking takes place in time, rather than space.
In most fictions, a character chooses one alternative at each decision point and eliminates all of the others. In Ts'ui Pên's novel, however, all possible outcomes of an event occur simultaneously, all of which themselves lead to further proliferations of possibilities. Albert further explains that the constantly-diverging paths sometimes converge again but as the result of a different chain of causes.”
From “The Garden of Forking Paths” by J.L. Borges (1941).
“The Labyrinth Through Time II” (2024)
Journal pages by explorers in the Maze, found in the Book of Babel. The words are garbled, distorted in transmission, noise drowning out signal.
The Book of Babel contains all, and so contains the Library of Babel it itself is in, another name for the Labyrinth and City of Babel.
