re beyond the binary

[Doug Millison]

Wilber moves explicitly beyond the binary ("the mystic, who instead
rejoices in the unity of the opposites"), as Pynchon does when he embraces
binary pairs, *and* excluded middles, *and* the underlying or emerging
unity of those elements; the snake consumes its own tail, "as above, so
below" forms a major thread in  M&D.  All of Pynchon's fiction lives in a
world characterized by existence across the life/death interface, levels of
consciousness and awareness, hierarchies, a great chain of being,  he
explictly deals with mystical experience -- a world that easily parallels
the worldview expressed in the article.
