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?
