Verso and Recto: there is subversion and there is rectification, setting things to right, to the regulus or to the rule. And here we get to the ruler.
But our duty to the universe is to subvert any consensus/conception of it. There is the Concept (Be-griff) and there is the “Immaculate Conception”

In The Use of Pleasure Foucault delineates the issues of sexual morality and fidelity. The rule or rectitude is set: the subtle use of discipline or asceticism to maintain one’s ethical composure under the laws of marriage.
Vitriol: Visita interiora terrae rectificando invenes occultum lapidem
Rosenkreuz's crypt, according to the description presented in the legend, seems to be located in the interior parts of the Earth, recalling the alchemical motto VITRIOL: "Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem ("Visit the Interior Parts of the Earth; by Rectification Thou Shalt Find the Hidden Stone.")

Oh God!!! What are we going to do with all this digging and digging and digging through the dense verbiage of the earth--- its enough to make one unconsious--- there is no way to exhaust this setting of words--- the setting of an extension "to right" the extension of a hand or an offering, a simple question: "what ails you sire?" Is thus the sum of rectification what we extend and venture into the world through this ex-isting of the extended offer. What do we offer (this is a question we can handle)?
I think that the question of "rectification" throws us into the hell of dust and darkness we call "research"--- Its a bunch of words that clutter and mean nothing. back to the realm of the mothers (Goethe) in the dusty realm of the womb-- dusty Hades, the unseen one. Rectification and the secret of wealth-- from what dark place do we gather our value? What is our value?
What is my value? (rectified from some dark place). This has been the course of several of my dreams--- even the young upstartish East-Indian men have more value than me--- even they earn a better salary! -Oh well, this life is such a place! But what soul shall all this make? Everything is perfect in the dream except the attitude of the Ego (Hillman...) Everything is perfect in this dense rock of definitions except for the gleaning of perception that I may call "me."
