millionrainbows - who I consider to be an idiot - says the following: "His [Scriabin's] intense interest in Madame Blavatsky's philosophy shows that he was inexorably drawn to the unconscious, the non-ego-driven, the animus, the dark side of the moon." .. Like ffs... The unconscious is always related to the ego... is he stupid or what? So... if someone has a fragile ego - like Herman or Dan; or Holger Kaletha in the tamino forum - their subconsciousness protects them from criticism... so they are unable to reflect and instead (mostly) project their own failings on others... "defense mechanisms -- Anna Freud"...
