As he states in the second poem of this collection, \"The individual mind attains its absolute through successive negations. I am that which thinks, not that which is thought.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eLe Contre-Ciel\u003c\/i\u003e, Daumal invites his readers to venture with him on this Existential journey. Through philosophically contemplative poems, he acts as both chronicler and guide to the process of regeneration-through-negation in pursuit of genuine self-knowledge.
