Sanity and Freedom. Because freedom and sanity
are correlative, it follows that there can be no sanity without freedom and,
conversely, no freedom without sanity. What is not generally
acknowledged, however, is that sanity, like freedom, takes two forms – the
female form rooted in soma and the male form centred in psyche, and that the
one, when hegemonic, tends to exclude the other. I have, in the past,
described the metachemical and chemical forms of
sanity as outer sanity, or ‘outsanity’ for short, and
the physical and metaphysical forms of sanity, by contrast, as inner sanity, or
‘insanity’ for short, since in the one case soma and in the other case psyche
are the characteristic factors attaching to these elements.
