Monkey Wrench:
“We are dealing not in things but in patterns. . . We get various kinds of patterns coming together in the form of gearings and literally they are woven together or geared together. A monkey wrench is a form that takes ahold of the sides of a nut. And the nut is a gear. So a monkey wrench and a nut are a gear relationship. And a monkey wrench is very useful on tightening up the nuts on various machines which are going to reciprocate safely. We all agree that the expression ‘loose nut’, a monkey wrench in the works’ could destroy the works, so a monkey wrench could be very useful to the same machine that it can be lethal to. It is simply a pattern. If the pattern comes in at the wrong place it can strip the gears. If it comes in at the right place it can augment the integrity coherence in the system, that is the regenerative factors.”
