"Witchcraft, and all manner of Spectre-work, and Demonology, we have now named Madness and Disease of the Nerves. Seldom reflecting that still the new question comes up on us: What is Madness, what are Nerves? Ever, as before, does Madness remain a mysterious-terrific, altogether infernal boiling-up of the Nether Chaotic Deep, through this fair-painted Vision of Creation, which swims thereon,

Pivoting from the previous post, as soon as I dismiss the romantic notion, I'm bound to restore it. For however much I try to rid myself the sentimental baggage, I seek Love. The Love those romantics connote as completion, a fulfillment of the desire that cries out from the ever clichéd depths of my soul.But alongside this desire, still at the core of my being, sits a doubt, hard and unmoving.

Love in the contemporary idiom evokes semantic constellations few words can match; not just for its breadth, whether in users or in connotation, but so for the depth of meaning its adherents grant. Aye, the first sense that comes to mind is that deep reservoir of feeling, the romantic sense: All thoughts, all passions, all delights, Whatever stirs this mortal frame, All are but

Art creates eternities out of moments. It marks the progression of form through time. Styles drift and divert, and etch the passage of the iconic.Alway a moment too late, as we recollect the fading passion--that movement unnamed 'til then. But now 't is made whole, holy, concrete. A trophy stands to honor past.There the momentary flay. Strip away the surface. Strip away the preserves grown stale.

Sticking with our running theme of Giambattista Vico, let's delve into what insights he might offer to the use of language today. The primary insight to draw upon here is the historical dimension of language. This historical dimension does not just mark different words being used at different times, but rather the whole plane of human reference changes with the epoch. In crude anthropological

Dread or fear, the thought that tomorrow might not turn out right. It's consumptive and vicious. It preys upon us and grows in strength with each bite it takes. The death wish, sure. Fear, anxiety is the experience of our own death reflected back in time.Past ages sublimed their fears into monsters, to be defeated by the mythological forces of good.

Imagine the apocalypse. A time when civilization has fallen, collapsed as the parlance goes. Those links that bind us to our fellow men and women lie broken, with little no hope left for repair. The city walls have been breached, the inner sanctum penetrated, and the statues of our idols smolder with the remainders of the world.It is not a happy thought, this—our cities barren and our farms

Most public intellectuals, editorial journalists, and professional bloggers seem to subscribe to the notion that massive government intervention was and is needed to rescue/bail-out/life-line the banking industry. Some, of course, do so "reluctantly;" they bemoan the necessity for this operation; they decry the failures of the regulatory agencies, the greed of the chief executives, and the

The depopulation of the willful universe, dare I say the genocide of the spirits, has cut a deep wound in the tomes of history. The spirits, once cooperative in this fallen world, whether for good or ill, have been reduced to mere metaphors or even psychoses. And all because, it seems, they threatened our power, our authority. Not only has humanity sought power through the insatiable

The modes of thought that give me worried pause in this, the modern world, are frightfully numerous--the museumification of history, the abstraction of social communities, the commercialization of self-identity, the crass materialization of meaning, the ignorance of obedience. I know not the linchpin to turn against these sins. Were I to rank them, I'd do so in ascending order of significance;

A fundamental flaw of the modern worldview is the inability to contemplate the improbable; that is, catastrophe and miracle. Two reasons are at the heart of this paradigm. 1) We've built an elaborate technological superstructure to confine improbability to the extreme margins of our consciousness, and 2) we've turned away from eschatological consciousness. Those who encourage eschatologies or

Language boils down to a hierarchy of tropes. Each informing the other, in grammars, syntax, contents, referents, form. Just as pairs and triads define the color wheel—various combinations of One—complementing, supplementing—in contrast and whole; so too does language parse herself. Particulars are meted out to generalities, when language is employ. Tropes, which are the regular occurrence of

Emptiness confounds itself with the thought that there is, or should be, something more to it. It presumes to derive from something or somewhere, as if the presence of this something or somewhere thus evoked could banish the void of its being. But though the heart should tarry back and forth, frantically seeking some refuge, some rock, the despair remains. Once caught in the vortex of the

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/IK06Aa01.html"Modern democracy is a Christian phenomenon, born of the Dutch rebellion against Spain in 1568, and borne by the Puritan migration to the New World. It arose as a religious response to Europe's crisis, not as a political scientist's cookbook recipe. That is why secular political philosophy fails so miserably in the context of religious war."

The question “Do you believe in God?” has suffered recently from a misplaced emphasis. This has in turn led to a metaphysical quagmire. For the focus has been on “believe” and “God.” “Believe” seeks to establish a relation between the subject (you, me, us, them) and “God.” “God” is thus afforded the status of object through the act of “believing.” To answer this question affirmatively, the

Music: A pleasant aesthetic pastime. Some anthropologists go so far as to argue that music is a fundamental component of being human, as per its role at the center of any concept of culture we might formulate (see Ethnomusicology.

When engaged in historical studies, one inevitably comes up against the issue of historical objectivity. Can we trust the historian that this event actually occurred where, when, and how he claims it to have occurred? In a lesser form of contension, we're driven to the relativity of perspectives as through a moral prism; e.g. the State oppresses v. liberates the people by a particular action.

Why does Nietzsche remain so present in our discourse? Initially we turn to his historical application, that will to power so disastrously imprinted on our minds. But is this the true depth of his thought—the primal scream? Yes, perhaps. Nevertheless, to learn so, to learn what gives this primal scream its resounding void, we must explore the space around it—that space whence it goes and

Questions unanswerable, answers unfathomable. The silent sway of eternity pulls the thought back, away from the edge of its own demise, the glory of its own abyss. The sharp tongue of disaster cuts another cheek, turning away from truth to truth, lie to lie, moment to moment in a bliss unbeknownst to knowers. So sad, so sad, so sad are the villagers.

Shifting about, searching for the Good in a world apparently without. For how can there be Good in a world with no God? In order for Good to exist, it must exist as a transcendent force--one to which we have no direct access, but must constantly work around towards. Yet, tracing our path, watching where we've been, going elsewhere, have finally run out of places to turn. We've learned that we

Temporal, Spatial, Emotional, Logical, Self-Evident—Such describe our continuity in this life. A matrix of movement, a passion of souls. We decipher ourselves within this matrix, prey to the I.

The post post modernist movement defines a future hope by explicating all around it, leaving a space untrampled... the tone is far from depressed, merely cynical of cynicism. Meaning found in the destruction of meanings is detroyed to witness a clean slate of metaphysical intent. No rational statements can affirm/deny it, simply dance around it.

Normally I begin with an example of sorts, a foil upon which I later cast my own reflections back to the world... or at least to the online archive of my thoughts. Today, in an act of self aware absurdity, or perhaps non-absurd self-awareness, or even the both/and and neither/nor of the qualitative substrates, we'll use the foil of the reflection we just entertained.Reality is inherently

War is PeaceFreedom is SlaveryIgnorance is StrengthAnd what exactly is so dark about Orwell's vision? The lack of freedom? It's merely freedom rechanneled into forms more useful to the society at large. Society at large is a system, an organism, especially that within specific societies. As an organism, we can assume the system follows the mechanism of natural selection as outlined by Darwin,

One sometimes wonders if truly it is not a clash of mutually exclusive ideologies that defines our modern dilema of the 'Global War on Terror,' but rather it is merely a head game for the status quo of modern political states... an internal battle of forces that exist simply due to the necessity of balance within the emerging global culture. Largely, in the West, we have accepted the current

"Attacking Iran is a Bad Idea"The inevitability of the first real world war hangs over the head of our collective generation. To deny this is to live blindly. No greater ideology of world peace holds sway over the immediate gratification of modern consumer capitalism. The defense industry builds bombs, states purchase bombs, states use bombs, the defense industry builds bombs. World politics,

Action is the only imperative of a happy life. Action leading to more action leading to more action.Most denizens of this earth are caught in the downward spiral of failed action. Of an imperative to act and the choice to deny it. This spiral is perpetrated by those who claim most sincerely to wish to help it. Namely, self-help gurus and organized religions.

Court widens scope of property seizure | csmonitor.com: "Justice O'Connor was joined in her dissent by Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.

Absolve your selfs, or find a priest. Can you be judge, jury, and advocate? Does Christ sit upon your right shoulder, Lucifer your left? Or are you one without blame, upon whom God's light shines eternal? Do you fear the presence of the prosecution? Self-criticism is an art; self-redemption a science. To be holy is to be wholly. What is existence, if not complete? Do you strive for happiness?

Destruction without creation is nihilism. Creation without destruction is imagination. The ideal is always at least 1/infinity away. The ideal is a temporally dependent phenomenon. Human is animal and god. We are the nexus of the ideal and the real. It is impossible by 1/infinity to purely live in the ideal or the real. The Buddha preached the middle way. Enlightenment merges the ideal and

Life is a game... or more precisely, a heirarched series of games, each feeding into another, an amorphous field of games in which the individual human subject is the eternal participant. The ultimate sum of any game is zero. The game begins and the game ends. Even the winner, it seems, is left in remorse. Once the game ends, the field is closed.

The New Republic Online: Paradise Lost Not only can a corrupt government have all past crimes forgiven in order to continue them into the future by simply supporting the Iraq war, but a government can in fact begin anti-democratic and totalitarian measures after supporting the Iraq war with the full support of the United States of America. Sometimes freedom just makes me so happy.

Erowid PCP Vault : Info #1: "Perhaps the hallmark of PCP intoxication is the recurring delusion of superhuman strength and invulnerability resulting from the analgesic and dissociative properties ofthe drug. Intoxicated patients have been known to snap hancuffs and, unarmed, attack, large groups of people or police officers. This loss of fear hasled patients to try to stop a train by standing in

Recently I've had the priviledge of witnessing the hottest new trend in fashion. Have you seen those long white shirts pulled over the stock black pants? Occasionally they'll use a belt (over the shirt), sometimes they'll put a hoodie (which doesn't cover the entire shirt). Yeah. It's that hot. I might be stereotyping, but it appears to be sorority girls that are responsible for the hotness,

Terrorism & Security | csmonitor.com The word freedom means many things. 13 definitions are listed in the Oxford English Dictionary, and a host of connotations shade off from those strictly worded meanings. For example, as an American, the word freedom calls up images of the flag, our rights to free speech and free worship and free press, images of soldiers who died to protect those rights.
