leaping about in discontinuity

[Glenn Scheper]

Page? Who can locate anything without an e-text?
Probably in section 3, bilocations.

This reminds me of the guy who disappeared, reappeared in the kitchen.
Or Yashmeen? who walked through non-door in the wall to ground zero.
Or...

we may expect to find images of laming as an advantage or achievement. The 
one-legged dance of Shaman is such an example of unnatural distortion 
representing supernatural power . . . The double standpoint of left and right is 
unified into a single pivot. Movement no longer shuffles along, back and forth, 
now this side, now that; instead, consciousness has to hop and skip about. The 
left- right rhythm that steadies one with the mutual self-corrections of thesis 
and antithesis is off-balance . . . Instead of steadiness, there is the gift of 
leaping about in discontinuity and then being wholly identified (at one with) 
wherever one lands. And wherever one has landed, at once becomes the center so 
that one's motion is no longer locomotion but a self-turning on one's own axis. 
In this condition consciousness is single, centroverted, and also in precarious 
balance. . . Perhaps the uniped shows a state of continuous discontinuity, in 
which the alchemical achievement is less a solid-state stone than a wonky 
wobble, always teetering, susceptible to falling. Consciousness leaps to the 
centre of things, is identified with its standpoint, but cannot stand there. Nor 
can it even observe itself since there is no longer any one foot in and one foot 
out. We are now into the genius and pathology of fusional states, the single 
standpoint of identification. Whereas alchemy represents one-footedness as an 
accomplishment, usually this virtue - if such it is - of being 'singled' out 
through the foot does not feel like an achievement. . . At best the marked foot 
represents a condition of being singled out by an abnormal standpoint. Jason's 
absent sandal meant that he was pledged with one foot (the left) to the 
Underworld. Mopsos, the prophet whose 'special skill in divination was concerned 
with birds. He could understand their language', was snake-bitten in the left 
foot. . . The cost of sight into the divine (divination), and thus foresight 
into time, is a marking in relation to this world of here and now. To soar one 
must hobble, too. The marked foot is also a laming, a limiting hindrance, a 
frustration and a wound. The complex through which we gain our profoundest 
insight is also our greatest hindrance. One aspect is the native sensitivity 
through which we receive the Gods; another aspect, however, continually hurts 
and may kill us.'(10)
