One more note:

rate your progress…

When I started to work on Rate Your Progress, I thought of a clearing in the woods and what we associate with a clearing, usually something positive. I came across this image: A massive bomb is the reason for the clearing in the otherwise completely dense forest/jungle. It is a strange realization that in this instance the bomb is the cause for light to enter…

When I started on this, I was thinking of Bettini and Kircher.

M.Bettini , Athanasius Kircher

And of King Asa of Juda and all the other wall bashers and iconoclasts.

Desiderio Monsu

Now, thinking more about the construction process, I reminds me more of this:

normal                                                                              LSD

mescaline                                                                             marijuana

sleeping pills (chloral hydrat)          benzedrine

and the hardest of them all:

caffine.
