It must act like the "devil's interval" in music: Any 6 B+W keys up is
an inrational frequency ratio of square root of two, so the two notes
never make a repeating beat frequency envelope, and the audio nerves
never get to relax while trying to decode such an awful screech.

Jameson Who?

	I must have kept too many foreign search engines, or too few
	foreign words to dilute novelty. "Best" phrases aren't English:

Plusieurs intstruments d'analyse "post-individualistes" sont déjà à notre 
disposition, et ppour commencer il me faut dresser un bref inventiare des 
systèmes auxquels je me réfère pour souligner l'elaboration sociale de Joe 
Chritmas et Ike McCaslin : pour Althusser, la constitution du sujet consiste en 
un procès dicté par idéologie véhiculée par la socitété ; Lacan pose le sujet 
comme le lieu d'une interaction istable entre les champs de l'Imaginaire et du 
Symbolique ; Bakhtine conçoit le sujet comme lieu permanent de confrontations 
dialogiques ; Jamson voit dans le sujet un participant textualisé à 
'l'"inconscient politique" de sa culture ; d'après les travaux de Foucault, le 
sujet est structuré par des pratiques répressives et discursives ; selon 
Bourdieu le sujet réagit à l'ensemble culturel des schémas qui lui dessinent son 
mode d'humanité (son "habitus")
  -- Add Phrases:

Nourri par les identifications imaginaires, rongé par des transgressions de 
limites, bloqué dans des situtaions d'antagonisme, le moi irradie ce sentiment 
d'identité involontaire, inaccessible au changement consceitn, mais 
irrémeédiablement perméable au désir des atures
  -- Add Phrases:

La mercantilización extrema de la arquitectura elude todo planteamiento que no 
sea, otra vez, lo espectacular, y provoca un estilo que Jameson califica como 
constelación, una especie de equilibrio inestable de materiales heterogéneos que 
no se relacionan entre sí por ningún tipo de escalonamiento jerárquico, sino por 
su simple coexistencia en el espacio
  -- Add Phrases:

Comme un processus de subversion du mimétisme dans lequel, selon Irigaray, le 
texte "(fait) "apparaître", par un effet de répétition ludique, ce qui devait 
rester occulté", Lumière d'août épuise la virulence des conceptions raciales de 
manière à en souligner le caractère arbitraire.25 Tout ordre établi, nous dit 
Bourdieu, tend à produire la natrulaisation de son propre arbitraire
  -- Add Phrases:

Jameson encara el problema reformulando la conocida proposición de Lenin ("la 
Historia es un proceso sin telos ni sujeto") que filtraría Louis Althusser -a 
quien se la atribuye Jameson, como parece ser ya la costumbre instituida- y 
reclamando la vuelta a un pensamiento crítico sobre la realidad material de la 
historia, realidad que las interpretaciones textualistas parecen haber borrado
  -- Add Phrases:

La teoría del inconsciente político, si quiere fundamentarse sólidamente, debe 
enfrentar sus instrumentos y nociones con las de otras hermenéuticas y 
establecer un campo de discusiones que no sea excluyente, sino dialécticamente 
progresivo -en el sentido de producir un conocimiento adecuado a la explicación 
de los cambios y transformaciones de la realidad social-, y dicho campo lo 
encuentra el teórico norteamericano en un territorio de preocupación común a 
todos los modelos que tratan de interpretar la cultura: la Historia
  -- Add Phrases:

So what do I hear? An humanist, a Cartesian doubter. Has no special gnostic
insight into our concurrent and joy/awful structured world of God-Immanent.
Reminds me of Isaiah: It shall be to them line upon line, precept upon precept
.... that they might fall backward and be snared! That's so-called science.

Why (sorry -- from weeks ago) does Reef lament not having an ordinary life?
Because he has one of these gnostic lives instead. I've felt the same thing.

What happens if another unconventional source of truth suddenly appears?
You can have a psychosis. You can become paranoid. You can become an
anarchist, one against the world. Or fight back with new hermeneutics.

Though the words we use to describe both are the same, this is an obtuse 
analogy—depression is qualitatively separate from sadness but because of its 
unshared nature there are no adequate words in the language for it.

I must not have had my tantric googles on, but this is the same phenomenon
of the autofellator set out in The Little Prince: The elephant and the boa
are one, so I can say the elephant eats the boa, or boa eats the elephant.

I have recently solved that mountain must pretty clearly have penis as
referent in my tantric decoding of Revelation. Pynchon already knew!

Re: "It's a little ramshackle for a time machine, isn't it?"

Yeah, what about something so simple as the sex organs as a time machine?

There is something about the human body that "encodes" time as it does
space. If the oral, genital and anal organs are performative indexical
for contents/organ of: this/here, that/there, and what/where, shouldn't
they also handle Now, Then, and When? I know, that after meditation to
some past moment, followed by autofellatio to those target happenings,
wierd sights/sounds/ and other stuff irrupts into that past moment.
They got to the level, I'd realize, "Oh, I must be going to blow myself."

BTW, pronoun "it" stands for coitus. Try it. Just think about it all day.
"The truth is neither this nor that." (Autofellatio = both at once).

I've got one-up on that. There was originally a north-polar-STAR worship,
only later mapped onto the SOLAR worship, as SOLAR and FERTILITY worship
are also described as conflated on generativity. Where's my URL....

Lots on that: "Phallism is often associated with sun-worship."

Not this one...
in Origen's Contra Celsum, Celsus describes a Mithraic symbol consisting of a 
ladder with seven gates, each associated with one of the seven planets, while at 
the top there is an eighth gate associated with the sphere of the fixed stars 
and leading to the region beyond that sphere (VI:22). The leontocephaline, as is 
well-known, almost always holds a key (according to Maarten Vermaseren he does 
so in the Barberini painting, although it is difficult to see [1]), and this key 
is reasonably identified as the key to the celestial gates described by Celsus.

This is one aspect of Rudolf Steiner’s significance – he recognized that 
thinking was in itself a spiritual path, and that the invisible world of thought 
was part of our entry into other orders of being.

I first encountered the work of John Lamb Lash through his website, 
metahistory.org, when he posted a series of pieces on “2012” — the end of the 
Long Count of the Mayan Calendar — from astrological and historical 
perspectives. In his essays, he defined the characteristics of various “end-time 
tribes” that were embodying aspects of futuristic consciousness.

Tidbit...
Christian fundamentalists have also connected Colony Collapse Disorder to 
Revelation, highlighting a passage that predicts a "famine sparing grapes and 
olives" to precede the Apocalypse. These fruits, in turns out, are not 
pollinated by bees.

I thought it was douche too...
However, Bruce Springsteen, in his 2005 VH1 Storytellers appearance, 
lightheartedly made the assertion that the sole reason that Manfred Mann's 
version of the song went to number one is that the altered lyric is actually 
"revved up like a douche". Bruce said, "The original lyric is 'cut loose like a 
deuce' referring to a two seat hot-rod, a little deuce coupe. Manfred Mann 
changed the lyric to 'revved up like a douche.' which is a feminine hygienic 
procedure." It should be noted, however, that Manfred Mann's website lists the 
lyric as "deuce" rather than "douche". It was once rumored that Chris Thompson's 
New Zealand accent may be responsible for swapping deuce for douche.

That's it. I mean, this is it. I mean, here it is. Fuck. Long but good:
In this legend there is a shifting of boundaries from south and north to east 
and west in the union that is now contracted in the house of Ptah, “in the house 
of his two earths in which is the boundary of south and north” that was drawn 
from east to west by the equinoctial line.
