La raison nous impose des limites bien trop étroites et nous invite à ne vivre que le connu - encore avec bien des restrictions - et dans un cadre connu, comme si nous connaissions la véritable étendue de la vie. De fait, notre vie, jour après jour, dépasse de beaucoup les limites de notre conscience et, sans que nous le sachions, la vie de l'inconscient accompagne notre existence. Plus la raison critique prédomine, plus la vie s'appauvrit ; mais plus nous sommes aptes à rendre conscient ce qui est inconscient et ce qui est mythe, plus est grande la quantité de vie que nous intégrons. La surestimation de la raison a ceci de commun avec un pouvoir d'état absolu ; sous sa domination, l'individu dépérit. (p. 475)
