Slavoj Zizek was a good lead.
I suspected he was looking for the Kantian transcendental ideal,
but all searching the web shows a philosopher not possessing it.
Therein gnostics differ.
This line of quotes pertains to my single interest, how that:
AF -> direct gnosis -> psychosis = metanoia ...-> exposition.

Sharpe: ". . . September 11 and Slavoj Zizek's Theory of Ideology"
Zizek draws on Lacan to argue that what, in a parallel
way, is intimated by the object of fantasy is the mysterious
wealth of the Other's unattainable jouissance (sexualised,
transgressive enjoyment). He comments that, for this reason,
we should add to Kant's list of sublime objects (a
hurricane, a stormy sea, etc.) the archetypal Thing staged
in what is called the "primal scene" in psychoanalysis:
namely, the sight of a woman enjoying being coited.

Zizek and St. Paul
'As Badiou puts it, Christ's death is not in itself the
Truth-Event, it simply prepares the site for the Event
(Resurrection) by asserting the identity of God and Man|the
fact that the infinite dimension of Immortal Truth is also
accessible to a human finite mortal; ...

The Interpassive Subject
The ontological paradox, scandal even, of these phenomena
(whose psychoanalytic name, of course, is fantasy) resides
in the fact that they subvert the standard opposition of
"subjective" and "objective": of course, fantasy is by
definition not "objective" (in the naive sense of "existing
independently of the subject's perceptions); however, it is
also not "subjective" (in the sense of being reducible to
the subject's consciously experienced intuitions). Fantasy
rather belongs to the "bizarre category of the objectively
subjective | the way things actually, objectively seem to
you even if they don't seem that way to you."

The properly dialectical
notion of Form signals precisely the IMPOSSIBILITY of this
liberal notion of Form: Form has nothing to do with
"formalism," with the idea of a neutral Form, independent of
its contingent particular content; it rather stands for the
traumatic kernel of the Real, for the antagonism, which
"colors" the entire field in question. In this precise
sense, class struggle is the Form of the Social: every
social phenomenon is overdetermined by it, which means that
it is not possible to remain neutral towards it.

Zizek and Judith Butler
ultimately support what they intend to subvert, since the
very field of such |transgressions' is already taken into
account, even engendered, by the hegemonic form of the big
Other|what Lacan calls |big Other' are symbolic norms and
their codified transgressions. The Oedipal order, this
gargantuan symbolic matrix embodied in a vast set of
ideological institutions, rituals and practices, is a much
too deeply rooted and |substantial' entity to be effectively
undermined by the marginal gestures of performative
displacement. On the other hand, Butler does not allow for
the radical gesture of the thorough restructuring of the
hegemonic symbolic order in its totality'

PLEXUS / Lacanian Ink: Slavoj Zizek - Woman is one of the
names-of-the-father
In the case of Woman ... - as well as in the case of the
primordial father, we are dealing with an agency of power
which is pre-symbolic, unbridled by the Law of castration;
in both cases, the role of this fantasmatic agency is to
fill out the vicious cycle of the symbolic order, the void

PLEXUS / Lacanian Ink: Jorge Aleman - Lacan: the End
With Junger the moment of the consummation of nihilism is a
"crossing of the Line"|"|the instant at which the Line is
crossed brings a new contribution of Being, and with it the
illuminating which constitutes the advent of the real in the
subject.
Again Junger's illuminating is in a fantasme of
appropriation of the "originary," of the most elemental
which is not yet degraded: forever waiting to be
reestablished, the originary is never depleted by
castration.
Yesterday, I was following a nice new pickup truck
home from the store, and the word "Cunt" lept into
my consciousness. The only thing I could find to
account for it was this business name painted on
the pickup truck: "Straight Exterminators".
You think Junger ponders the line between labia?
