This reminds me of something Keith McMullen once wrote here:

 > Since we know Pynchon is familiar with James Hillman, JH's concept of 
"seeing-through" or "psychologizing" might be in accord with what Scott 
is suggesting. For Hillman "seeing through" is the act of looking beyond 
the manifest surface of our metaphors, thoughts, ideas, beliefs, 
politics, ideologies, technologies, conflicts, etc., to the archetypal 
backdrop. To see the Gods reflected in such. To see the archetypal 
reality made literal in our 'real' meanings and V2s. To realize that 
just because a V2 can ruin your day doesn't mean it is not metaphorical, 
nor that it has origins outside the pale of the human imagination (or 
human psyche) and its very structure and dynamics. <
