Bring Your Managers to the Museum

Do not send your managers to a museum for an inspiring visit. Do not ask them to learn how artists produce works.

Seen intrapsychically, the Last Judgement becomes a portrait of the human psyche. The radiant and the tortured figures coexist within the same being. The Archangel Michael’s scale does not weigh others’ souls, but ours. Heaven and Hell are no longer separate realms but two poles of one psychic field.
