"We can recall once more the famous allegory of the prisoners in the cave,
told by Plato. One prisoner dares to break out into the sunlight. He is, of
course, dazed by the new brightness. This is similar to the confusion and
uncertainty of anyone who decides to escape his unconscious captivity. The
light of freedom is so utterly new and different that it cannot be
recognized by the habitual mind. The escaping prisoner is, at first,
frightened and puzzled by the change. But gradually, his psychic eyes
become accustomed to the light. He sees that _this_ is Reality. Previously,
he assumed that darkness was the normal state, but now he knows better."
