  reminds me of the fact that gr has four parts (- jungian "quadricity"[?]), 
  while m&d is structured in hegelian trinity. what does it mean?

  in my limited understanding holy slothrop is something like the avatar of the 
  counterforce, not actually a member.

  in a way the formulation "member of the counterforce" sounds meaningsless to 
  me, because on the macro-level of history there is only  t h e i r  damn   
  "occidental rationality". our swinish escape we can only realize in small   
  circles, hardly leaving traces in the world at all. a real counterforce can   
  never be an organization and, thus, not have any "members".  

> Is the Counterforce also elect? 

  the counterforce is --- blessed.

  just a personal experience. on the island sylt in the northern sea there's a  
  lot of heath. to the "prehistoric" people this must indeed have been the      
  territory of the dead, since you can still see upon the heath lots of so      
  called "hünengräber", burial-places made of large stones.
