    Partner treats all of this more as a fairy tale than actual fact and simply fantasies of the Enlightenment and Romance areas but also points out that "this does not mean that the story is trivial," and claims this Templar myth belongs to the poetic and visionary experience that is similiar to William Blake's poetry or the later Jungian psychoanalysis dream mysticism.
