At the risk of something or other... specifiying GRGR and opening it up
more clearly might be handy... have been on the list a month or so,
coincidentally also rereading GR, though not ostensibly part of the group,
and knowing more of the parameters of the organized activity might be fun.
Just went through Tchicherine's (sorry, have forgotten spelling) meeting
Tyrone at Peenemunde this morning, and the wonderful concept of Scwartz...
argh, it's been a long day... nope the word has been forgotten. Help anyone?
Seemed like a sort of critical notion- there's an earlier bit about
solidity being a function of one's awareness of time that's also
delightful- but this notion of a cloud? A shadow? Of the universe's
manifestation of one's fate. Almost a sense of all identity, even in the
simplest terms, extending beyond the form of the individual. Hadn't really
caught much of that, at least explicitly, before. I tend to see paranoia
as a primarily internal function, and one dependant upon, ultimately, a
rate of change of perception of self in society. Hence, directly tied to
self discovery, hence... really not external, at all, regardless of outside
manifestations. But this Schwartzen something or other was an external
phenomenon... very interesting...
