Rzeczywistość wirtualna

• '(...) alchemy and theatre are virtual arts, so to speak, and do not contain their object within them any more than they contain their reality'
• 'All true alchemists know alchemical symbols are chimeras just as theatre is a chimera. And this eternal reference to the fundamental principles and objects in theatre, found in almost all alchemist texts ought to be understood as a feeling (...) of the similarity there is between the level on which characters, objects, portrayals and in a general way everything which makes up theatre's virtual reality develops, and the purely assumed, dreamlike level on which alchemist sings are evolved.'
