Thanks for the link. Definitely an interesting theme!

The Daimon does not come to man and choose him, but is bound to him through all the cycles of incarnation

The Daimon is said in notes to be a unique and self-creating power, contributing to the human being what is personally unique (in which sense it is probably also seen as the Ghostly Self). The Daimon seeks to unite itself with other Daimons but cannot do this without the agency of the human mind. Its mind is simultaneous, untrammelled by either time or space, perceiving things in terms of their kinship to itself. Its symbolic form is the circle or sphere, and all things are present in an eternal instant to the Daimon which ‘remains always in the Thirteenth Cycle

If man and Daimon are one continuous perception, human and Daimon are loosely like an iceberg, of which the Daimon is the greater part, the ideal or archetype, while the human is the visible local expression of a small, chosen fraction to other perceiving beings.

It throws up the question, “Who is the dreamer and who is the dreamed?” I intuit that the real answer might well be the opposite of what we generally imagine.

We are the dream!

‘The Other’, that silent, shadowy presence dreams us!

The iceberg analogy seems fitting. ‘The Other’ appears frightening because we do not remember it. We have forgotten that this mysterious, powerful presence is really us!
