Thirdly, that this intertextual collective pool mentioned by Thomas Keneally
and also the writers and readers, either implicitly or explicitly, and which was
emphatically known by the shamans is a syzygy, one that suggests a symbiotic and
collective mind or Mind-at-Large, one that may be activated by mythopoeic
literature, and apparently with greater ease by those who have experienced an
initiatory shock or trauma, and which facilitates a transfer of imaginative energy
from the literature to the reader and entry to elsewhere-place. I ndubitably, it is
here that we each, albeit often unwittingly, delineate the places and boundaries of
our conscious personalities; that we delineate the places and boundaries of our
souls as well.
