Reading

As the books we read play such a significant role in the formation of our conscious mind, I here divulge the books which were prominent or inspirational prior to or during the creation of “Instruct the Darkness”.

~! PSYCHOLOGICAL MAKEUP

All of these, to some extent, form a part of the overall psychological makeup behind the scenes, and had certain elements which have helped support the conceptual frameworks I work with, by positive affirmation, inspiration or even by proof in negative.

Of course, they (nor any other objective and material thing), do not necessarily represent my personal beliefs and ideals…
