No doubt, she still sees light.

Bringing her to the church, as if salvation was surely to be found there, Guattari explains how the drugs discombobulated the young girl already information and hormone compromised. The "quality" is enhanced with methamphetamine just as in religious conversion:
'This is an objectifying subjectification where the subject is treated like a signifier; that is to say a fusional subjectivity, together with a pure iconic otherness, where the subject itself is treated as an empty icon, as the paradigm of paradigms.
The staging of a space of representation between redundancies of the referent and iconic redundancies is located:
1.) at a certain distance from the absolute mental point of reference previously evoked, thus determining particular qualities and the reterritorializing degree of the icon of reference (God, empty soul, etc.)
2.) at a certain distance from a point,as mythical in the same respect as the preceding one of pure materiality is irreducible to any process of deterritorialization
Finally, the interior sweep of the semiological triangle across the two sides of the angle of signifiance: the lower side approaches or moves away from the ideal axis of nominalist designations; the higher side approaches or moves away from the ideal axis of a pure and ineffable divine signification.'
(Guattari, Machinic Unconscious)
Shucks. Sure sounds like it. She pounded the ground (re-territorialization), which was her ambiguous decision of grasping the materiality (eyeballs), because of 2.)....irreducible to any process of deterritorialization.
