TPPM _The Gift_: Sentence 7: abyss sense: 8 of 10

I recently saw Hamlet played. I recognized many of the same features
happening to Hamlet as to me in my initial psychoses. Then, I
happened upon some Internet email archive asking, "Does Hamlet
have existential import?" Why, yes! Hamlet is Oedipus! To see
this, you need merely map Hamlet on to either his dead father,
or Hamlet's uncle, who killed the father and married the mother.

	(re-reading, I must clarify: this requires the prior
	Wet Dream In Navel, to obtain the christic self-father
	during autofellatio. Otherwise, it is not the Name of
	the Father, but merely coming in his own name.)

The Oedipal crisis represents the entry into the Symbolic Order.

Here is a Jungian Hamlet page, raising the specter of my having
been "invaded" by a ghost! See how I possess the two criteria:
I started to recognize the salient autofellatio metaphors, so
had an immediate identity with Jesus Christ and other saviors;
and autofellatio is a deep taboo, so it created great conflict.

I recognize that the kind of a person that Heidegger labels the Dasein
(german: being-there) matches the metanoiac type that I wish to describe.

I have not listed Heidegger as a fellow, because his exposition is so
dry, lacking in the poetic zeal, I believe he is merely rationally
repackaging something gotten from others, like Holderlin and Nietzsche.

Heidegger and Hegel seem to dissect a Christ syndrome under glass.
They were not infected by it, affected and made dysfunctional and
very passionate, attuned to its intuitive and affective phenomena.
In their midst was a poet, Holderlin, who went crazy. I'd say he's
the seed that inspired others. I recognize Nietzsche too as a fellow.

(Re: Lacan)

the uncanny is not about "fear"
as such, more disorientation.
Yes, certainly nostalgia.
Something has revived itself,
and that something is a self-recognition,
yet of being strange.
The object is uncanny since it takes us back to being children.
Yet at the uncanny moment of identification,
time freezes since what we are tempted to identify with is inanimate,
therefore we are inanimate,
and therefore dead.

(Synesthesia: a Nabokov tie-in)

On this account, metaphor involves the ability to recognize similarities
across different sensory domains. This ability seems to have naturally
evolved in human primates with the maturation of the cross-modal
zones in the parietal cortex (Geschwind, 1964). Adult subjects
report increased synesthesia in various drug-induced states (Siegal,
1977), and common affective reactions to different sensory stimuli
(Osgood, 1960).

Nevertheless, this potential christic type was recognized by Jung
(who only ever acheived an outsider's appreciation of our state),
and was labeled the Puer Aeternus archetype, the eternal youth,
probably for failure to mature out of certain childish patterns.

(Re: unspeakable child)

As I recall, this article went on at length about _Peter Pan_
until I recognized a christic archetype therein, especially noting
Peter Pan's ticking to mimic some crocodile that swallowed a clock,
resembling my psychotic bomb ideation. The author may be a fellow.
