Children want to be strong, secure, and happy. Their fantasies will tell us what they feel they need to attain that, if we pay attention.

Essence simply enjoys and commits attention and love to whatever is. In fact, committing attention to anything that is present results in enjoyment.

It loves its fantasies, dreams, and desires more than it loves reality.

The peculiarity of innovative fantasies in the form of works of art is that they are fantasies kindled by material which is accessible to many people. In a word, they are de-privatised fantasies.

It could also be called the bridge of sublimation.
