There is something in everyday thought which is akin to horror- this must be at the heart of the hunger for news reports about terrible happenings. Any thought, even the slightest level of anxiety can multiply itself as a result of some inner loss of balance which prevents the mind from letting go of the fear. A feedback loop gets established which guides the mind- and, if sustained, surges it into a swirling undertow of fear. The scientific term for the boundary of a black hole is the event horizon. I think of this acceleration of thought as the event current. (3/22/90)
