As for the idea of blocking the "even pass of hades" with rocks, it appears to mean nothing more than that a military force was posted at Hirasaka now called Ifuyo-saka in Izumo to hold the defile against the insurgent troops under Izanami, who finally took the field against Izanagi. The story of Susanoo lends itself with equal facility to rationalization.
He is, of course, permanently and constantly in debt to the new psychology, not only because when rightly applied it so greatly helps people to stand on their own feet, come what may, but because the study of dreams, fantasy and rationalization has thrown light on how the pseudo-environment is put together. Or one freed from suppressions and conventions?
In addition, we have to consider what is to me a most uncongenial subject the possible rationalization of English spelling.

A Vindication of the Press is chiefly important for the corroboration of our knowledge of Daniel Defoe.

They take a pleasure as their pictures show in observing characteristic manifestations of different kinds of life, and they have no wish to reduce everything to a preconceived pattern. They have not the ideal of progress which dominates the Western nations, and affords a rationalization of our active impulses.

For an excellent discussion of the process of rationalization see The Psychology of Insanity, Bernard Hart, Cambridge University Press, 1914.
