It's about the search in life so many people subconsciously feel they have to do, but don't know where or how to start with. It's far from easy to step away from a certain 'lifestyle' and rearrange everything you've been doing and thinking since you've been born. The very first rule; such as in art is you have to 'destroy in order to create'. "The Eclectic Measure" is about opposites, poles, equilibrium, the sun and the moon, good and evil, destroy and create,... When you've walked the path of subconsciousness and counted all the stones on your way you'll find what you've been looking for. Abraxas is in all of us. Steve Houtmeyers 2006
