Hearst Castle
|
|
Let's consider a possible outcome of a confront, of a
standoff, of a showdown as it were between
reality and unreality. Since unreality doesn't
have to comply with any rules, clearly unreality is at a
distinct advantage over reality. Unreality can and always does
operate completely under its own rules. Furthermore, unreality only
operates under rules it makes up for itself to its own advantage.
In a standoff ie in a showdown with reality, unreality is the odds
on favorite.
Every once in a while, however, every so often comes a situation in
which reality totally, completely, and beyond any shadow of doubt
comes out ahead of unreality in a standoff. When reality comes on
so powerfully that it stands out and towers over unreality ie
towers over unreality which in any case has no limits, then a
special situation has occurred. When reality totally, completely,
and beyond any shadow of doubt comes out ahead of limitless
unreality, we describe such a situations as fantasy,
fantastic, surreal, super-real, beyond belief.
When I first realized what it took to create Hearst Castle, after
the enormity of it finally sunk in, I thought to myself "I don't
even dream this big ...".
