Destabilizing writing

I think you need very steady nerves when navigating the second dimension, because it is intrinsically destabilizing and THEREFORE makes us feel paranoid.  That is why it is so hard to fix it in the eye, like a raven, and talk about it.  If we encounter it in another we are most likely to feel uncanny and a sense of paranoia.  Some individuals do EMBODY those second dimensional qualities, though.  Like Marechera.  If you read him as speaking about social events or realities, as many have done, you would get frustrated with him that he does not seem to address “real” issues in a pragmatic manner.  In fact, he is seeing more than just those everyday and obvious  issues.  He’s got his eye fixed on something else as well, which is that intrinsically destabilizing “outside” level of existence.  And that is why if you are not habituated to taking in this mode as part of reality and processing it as another dimension of your experience, you will find the writing a destabilizing experience.  Or, more likely, you will switch off and let your mind start wandering, which is to allow your mind a way of refusing to encounter material that it finds very disturbing and hard to digest.   (It seems that we tend to recognize as meaningful only that which we are habituated to recognizing at all, while we relegate everything not yet familiar to the realm of non-existence.)
