(Re: Blake, but quoted by a useless (i.e.,repackaging) non-experiencer)
Because that experience is predicated on, to borrow
Blake's phrase, the annihilation of the selfhood,
That return from exile, as it is frequently
described, is facilitated by a recognition of the Divine
analogy, correspondences said to obtain ...

The recognition of an 'error' in categorisation comes with
the realisation that any category who's nature is
'uncertain' reflects ...

This would be even more so in reversal, if the penis were taken to
be a mouth, like when the features of the torso are mapped onto the
features of the head. This isomorphism forms the horned devil face:
his face is one's torso; his horns are one's arms, his forehead mark
(like the spot hindus call a tika) is one's whole head as his bump.
Nietzsche obviously recognized such, for I can detect Zarathustra's
head in the story of a dwarf that rides on Zarathustra's shoulders:
That the dwarf jumps down to the ground indicates Zarathustra is in
Atlas' classic autofellatio posture.

Truth appeared; all its emanations recognized it. They actually
greeted the Father with a power which is complete and which joins
them with the Father. For each one loves truth because truth is
the mouth of the Father. His tongue is the Holy Spirit, who joins
him to truth attaching him to the mouth of the Father by his tongue
at the time he shall receive the Holy Spirit.

I recognize this unrequited love is what Jesus valorized in saying,
"give, asking nothing in return." My little affect of love would be
only a modicum of what Jesus must have felt, dying upon the cross.
Such is the sorrowing acceptance of another who is locked into a lower
level of performance due to an ego-syntonic poor personality organization.
The same is exemplified in Jehovah's ambivalent toleration of the
Jews while leading them out of slavery, their ignorance repenting
Him often. Today the world at large appears in the same sad state.
(I almost 'fixed' it to effect. Yes, I meant affect.)

I was early motivated to recognize this/that of autofellatio as
the solution to the Taoist "The truth is neither this nor that."
