Polker may only be witnessing tonight---or he may
really be part of it. He hasn't been shown which it is.
Look at this. There is about to expedited, for
Friedrich August Kekule von Stradonitz, his dream
of 1865, the great Dream that revolutionized
chemistry and made the IG possible. So that the
right material may find its way to the right dreamer,
everyone, everything involved must be exactly in
place in the pattern. It was nice of Jung to give us the
idea of an ancestral pool in which everybody shares
the same dream material. But how is it that we are
each visited as indivividuals, each by exactly and only
by what he needs? Doesn't that imply a switching-
path of some kind? a bureaucracy? Why shouldn't the
IG go to seances? They ought to be quite at home
with the bureaucracies of the other side. Kekule's
dream here's being routed now past points which may
arc through the silence, in bright reluctance to live
inside to moving moment, an imperfect, a human light,
over here interfering with the solemn binary decisions
of these agents, who now are allowing the cosmic
Serpent, in the violet splendor of its scales, shining
that is definitely not human, to pass---without feeling,
without wonder (after you get a little time in---whatever
that means over here---one of these archetypes gets
to look pretty much like any other, oh you hear some
of these new hires, the seersucker crowd come in the
first day, "wow! Hey---that's th-th' Tree o' Creation!
Huh? Ain't it! Jeepers!" but they calm down fast
enough, pick up the reflexes for Intent to Gawk, you
know self-criticism's an amazing technique, it shouldn't
work but it does. . . .

Midgard Serpent
The World Serpent. The Midgard Serpent, called
Jörmungand (Jormungand) or Jörmungandr, was
an offspring of Loki and the giantess Angerboda.
Jörmungand symbolised evil.
Not only could Jörmungand kill its victim by crushing
constriction, the Midgard Serpent's venom was lethal
even against the gods. Jörmungand was Thor's
most deadly enemy.
To confine the ever-growing serpent, Odin had
Jörmungand thrown into the sea. But, Jörmungand
grew so large that his entire body completely
encircled the world. See Monster Bound in Ragnarök.
Thor failed to kill Jörmungand, the first time the two
met. Thor had hooked Jörmungand like a fish. The
thunder-god tried to smash Jörmungand's head in
with the Mjollnir, Thor's magic hammer. But the
frightened frost-giant Hymir cut off Thor's line,
allowing the Midgard Serpent to escape. See
Fishing Expedition in Of Thor and Giants.
At Ragnarök (Ragnarok), Jörmungand escaped his
underwater confinement. Thor managed to kill the
evil serpent with the Mjollnir; but Thor succumbed
to the deadly venom from Jörmungand.
