“

For the alchemist the one primarily in need of redemption is not man, but the deity who is lost and sleeping in matter. His attention is not directed to his own salvation through God's grace, but to the liberation of God from the darkness of matter. - C.G. Jung

Trivia

• The design of the Supercollider seems to be inspired by elements of experimental fusion reactors, such as Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor or ZETA Fusion Reactor.
