Every negative emotional state, whether directed inwards or outwards, would seem to be produced out of a single pure form of self-negation, a highly charged inverse of primary narcissism, symbolically a black sun. The symmetry ends there however since the mechanisms for defending against something that repels are more varied and in a sense more creative than those that come to the assistance of something that attracts. It may also be that it is essentially invisible, like a black hole, and can only be known via its masks. Nevertheless bringing this polarity into symmetry with its opposite would seem to be a valuable exercise, not for mutual cancellation, they are too deeply rooted for that, but for the discovery of a still-point.
