This brings up some differences between the art I have been talking about and art that has been designed purely for commercial reasons. Commercial art exploits what is most familiar changing it only slightly in order to make it seem new. It uses only the lust from sex and, therefore, all intimacy is lost.
Intimacy makes people feel too much and become uncomfortable.
The art that I am the most concerned with is designed to cause transformation so that the initiate can deal with a new world that is totally unfamiliar. The familiar, if used at all, is only an enticement for moving deeper into an intimacy that would unite us all as one being. In that case the familiar is exploited once again but as a means rather than an end. 139-140 Departing and returning black. Blackness and the spirit exchange elements.
