argh, it's been a long day... nope the word has been forgotten. Help anyone?
schwartzgerat..the black device or something to that effect.
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'm not really following what you are saying here. around what page number
was the bit about solidity? sorry but i haven't been reading as much as i
should be. but i will from now on.
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...

robert anton wilson wrote a blurb(that maybe he stole) about how paranoia was
a way into mysticism because it was one of the many ways to see that
everything is connected.
