cracking DeepArcher

[Monte Davis]

One man's mysticism is another man's System, and there's always a
counter-counter-Counterforce coming along. Patrick Leigh Fermor in Hungary,
1934: 

"My host was from a Carpathian village where quite a number of Jews,
including his family, belonged to the Hasidim, a sext which sprang up two
centuries ago in the province of Podolia -- Russian then, Polish later --
the other side of the Carpathians. The sect represented a break with
Talmudic scholasticism and a plunge into mystic thought -- the Cloud of
Unknowing versus the Tree of Knowledge -- and the belief of the Hasidim in a
kind of all-englobing divine presence... was condemned by the orthodox....
But in spite of its heterodoxy and the anathema of the Gaons, the sect
multiplied...

"...[my host] himself was not a zealot: the face under the carroty hair was
plump, shrewd and twinkling. I said I enjoyed reading the Bible. 'So do I,'
he said; then he added with a smile, 'Especially the first part.' "

Apropos of all the jewishness, emphasis on voids / absences (*are* excluded
middles always bad shit?), and 9/11 number games:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Da%27at_(Kabbalah)

"10 and not 9, 10 and not 11," states the Sefer Yetzirah.

Begging the question, is DeepArcher Da'ath? Or at least a facet of it?
It's individuated enough, regularly likened to dreams and other mystical
states-- including that popular consensual delusion referred to as reality
--yet seems to regularly transcend all these.  Add to that, it's populated
by those  pesky shells of the dead, the Qlippoth, forever stalking the
periphery of our familiar-yet-irreal sphere, with them sometimes *bleeding
over,* well...

Do I get my No-Prize, Stan?
