Există două adagii existențialiste care mi se par foarte potrivite în contextul de față. Unul spune că nu există libertate, ci doar eliberare (o variantă ar putea fi: nu există libertate decât în eliberare). Celălalt afirmă că libertatea este o eternă perspectivă.

În ambele am beneficiat de îndrumare. Pentru filosofie, mi-a fost ghid Constantin Noica, pentru actul iniţiatic al coborârii în inconştient, psihologul Eugen Papadima. Demersurile par ireconciliabile.
