Stay open to hallucinating plentitude of impulses
Contemplate with terror and delight, own endlessly ramifying contradictions
Revelation of impersonal energies experienced in the intense activity of
apparently nothing.
Affinity for the debasefd in imagery, materials, proceedures
Nothing is either quite subjective or objective
Produce sheer double binds
Art of cosmic pratfalls--pratfreefalls
Ache, like an ache to laugh, without issue
Sarcastic shamanism
pressured sense of self BOTH as coherent and as erratic aleatory force.
Powers, mandates, stsyetms, sending signals, transmitting messages and
being tapped.
These messages from abroad, compulsive but only most slippery, feinting, recondite meaning.
Seismograph
Instead of a muse-- A POTATO!
Repetition of identical figurative elements (phrases)
Empty , compulsive pattern of unthinking repetition-reiteration
Conventions within which, riven by sharp interruptions of accidental
Inflect with compulsive need to interpret or construe-- that cloud or corrode the object, masking it's 'real' nature
But this corrosive aspect is no loss or deciet, but a wild emancipation of vision.
A strange concurrence of received codes and latent indeterminate forces.
Only a paradisal plenum-- rather than possible realityt-- of meaning matters.
Dots (words) both are means of conjuring forth a picture, also riddle and destroy it.
Dots (words) come to represent corruption of some never-to-be-known Ideality, as it necessarily falls into working elements and physical dross.
Experience the inside mind.
Sleep

deep space.
Object is to evoke learned ignorance
Usually in a play, there is a problem, and you solve it, and everything is ok.
But: all problems are part of a web. Nothing is ever solved, just give a local illusion of calm, which is real blindness.
What am I after?
Something that eludes the rational (which is blindness, ie. localness) Yet copies the moves of rationalness, so as to REALLY undermine it. And that copy is informed by other codes, other grids, than the mere local. Another grid suddenly POPS over the last one.
So either a theater that HEWS to theme, that demonstrates (and suffocates) or a theater in which other grids suddenly are applied.
My life is IN the buzz
Ideas come from the buzz.
I'm not Richard, but a buzz manifestation, thre buzz is my home,
the situation I am in is a discarded husk, don't cew on it, see OTHER>
The play is a probe of bees amidst grids. Subject arises, coagulates, and sinks away. . .to BUZZ
make set motel or hotel, awful, transcended
Transcend the awful or the now
through 'meaninglessness' in terms of going codes.
People want meaning
to re-inforce their position in flux.
I too tend to say 'not clear"-- but that's when meaning isnb't played with but fixated on and it's implications and extentions into play aren't grasped.
But best is a PLAY with meaning
"feel" like you feel when it's meaningfull
without being conditioned and gaving world so limited.
Or-what's it about? Nothing? No. Inbetween nothing and a thing. (Catagory three)
Echoland.
Resonance. Center is everywhere. Margin is nowhere.
Echoland.
What environment is this responding to?
I can reject the environment it responds to! I don't want tio 'certify' that environment.
Give up effort. Write from center of effortless expansion.
Only goal is you, effortless expansion, only arises from within, only non-seeking can it come.
The now.
Any attempt to grasp the incomprehensible hinders
(don't screw up the brow with effort , to AIM, just be in the dispursion, relaxed)
Every point has density of expanded to all
as if center goes to outside again and again
amdf outside is so re-packed to center, like heart beat?
So play pulsates> Item: fills out: new item: fills out; new item; fills out. . .
God is vast point, God expands by making points re-vast
like mandela, like heart, like torus
God is potentia, WE pull things out for him to re-vastify
To STRAIN is to cut down to tunnel vision. But to 'wide', effortless...
Just relax effort, so you inflate to globe head (from inside, all your thought-strainings)
pushes world away,
your acts FLOATED by inner expansion
Open the chest book.
Allow inflatedself-absence
to float acts into the world
REAL world (not one we live in , by conceptualizing and perceiving) is symbol for non-fear, non dream-construct.
Real it by light superimposition. That 'being here which is out of 'here'.
Let's be an erruption of source.
Whereas dream world clogs the expansive flow.
When a meaning triumphs over others
Meaning dies. Only is meaning alive if meaning hovers, weaves in and out with many others.
Meaning is 'man' made, if it's expressable.
Ok. But see how it immediately splits, self-contradicts, meanders.
So: meaningless is all meanings in play.
What's it about? Everything.
Normal notion is that art celebrates beautiful, harmony.
But. Art reveals gaps and holes and absence in un-beautiful where beauty enters- awkward,
True that life as we daily live it isn't meaningless. We decide to choose,
family, god, creativity, as values.
We choose, family or all men are brothers
Make self achieve or do unto neighbor
realize potential or have no ambition selfishness.
If we have a theme, then we highlight one chosen meaning.
But, if all meanings are juggled (as they are by history) and one LIVES in the space between those juggled values, between those moments of committment,
then the play is about the surge of energy that comes
that takes over and acts through you.
What's it about? The enetrgy that acts through you.
That's isn't 'yours"
That DISOLVES DISOLVES
the solidity of a projection in which we live.
Still live in the projection
but don't LIVE it.
Only as a script we must honor.
Meaninglessness
can be a tone, a 'take' on reality that covers things and their relations (which is obscurity, and therefore makes projections even more fixed, as we strain to see and find the meanings that underlie them)
or
meaninglessness
can be a non-take, an omni-perspectiveness, a dsance of tones
that cuts cords that tie projections to 'earth'.
So projects fly and ground is revealed, pulsating, throwing up more bjevts, and more, and more.
Choice between tone consistency
or dance in-consistency.
That's why I love two musics,
The yes-but of illumination
SLEEP
sink into the rich loam.
"VOICE:" (depth)
Sleep is sink into a state of inner expansion. MY VOICE COMES.
Once I had an experience. Turned inside out.
Play scenes against cosmologies. Poe's EURIKA (repeat phrases in it) Suares,
Strindberg, etc) If PAUL, for instance, repeat it's phrases also? Try re-writing Pre-Soc, Poe, Gnostic, to "sweet loop". Take PAUL and end units on a repeated phrase. Loop arises, then new phrase loops)
AMAZING HOW TEN MINUTES OF SLEEP RESTORES THE SOURCE
Dare do what you want
write just roots of brain rush
place to place (imagine different places, not a sustained set)
The Derridian project: all text (giving a meaning to the world) falls short. So, all said fails. Do a said, therefore, that radically includes it's failure. More and more said? More and more a prison of the partial is built. One is cut off from the whole by the said. More walled in by the said.
One tries to explain the world to oneself, yet saying drifts one into error. But we must SAY to BE. So to BE is to fall.
The split
between experience (signified) and naming (signifier). To make sensation into experience it must be knowable by retention of earlier experience, which remember is a distortion, so now it's doubled in distortion, yet that must be done, so make the distortion so EVIDENT one needn't feel comitted to it!
Each thing is a reference to something else, which is a reference to something else which is a. . .
Catagory three?
Thirst, taken wisely
Thirst lived as desire (ignorance, misery
Thirst lived as compassion (wisdom, bliss
Desire : realizing it's objects is non-arrival.
(If play succeds, non arrival. If happiness comes, non-arrival)
Thing is to keep moving THROUGH things!
THINBG IS TO KEEP MNOVING THROUGH THINGS, INCLUDING GOOD PLACES
(keep changing locale of sentences)
The point of art
Is to find new aspects of the world
It can be seen (made) like this, also.
It is inexhaustable in its ways of being put together
No WAY of being is itself, remember. It is tie-joint of all other ways. Infiltration of the rule.
Don't work to purify a vision, but to celebrate continual discovery of new leads to not it's point.
If a light bulb explodes in the head, it shows how a thing is mixed through by all other.
Sound, not image.
Normally everything works to specify, but all sound is overtone generating which is true to grid reality.
You can't control it, you can;'t make it happen. The minute you control it it's less inclusive, controling it is narrowing it down to a tiny part. Mastery and power is self limitation. Purposeful, selective, isolates from the whole. Yet pure randon openess is also a limitation-- to that particular modality of randomness and openess.
So must be all, both-- focus and non-focus.
CATAGORY THREE
Which is a special stratagy of control, choice, always undercut.
The image, undercut (toss it off so fast? Change locale? Each shot different)
Look deep, but don't then try to focus. DE-focus, let's something else come in.Remember rehersal experience in Houston, rehersal hall, defocusing on BOLDFACE, and planels in the room quivered and I didn't name the quiver)
Don't be in the picture (that arises in the mind) Be back in that non-self that projects it. This instant is the only time there is-- as soon as you go into the picture, you are out of this real time.
ONLY THING THAT MATTERS
is being connected to a certain way of thought. Flowing from it
Everything 'valuable' in life (what we call valuable, haha) is a construct
(fantesy-illusion) . So make it play not prison. Goal is getting to generating center of that spun web, yet make it not a goal or it becomes a prison, and what's more you're already there, so de-strain the effort muscles of the brow.
Give all meaning over to the emptiness of borderline, where constructs arise out of the void or trama and seperation. Magnetic fields.
Derrida takes subject and disolves it.
AS OPENS WOUNDS, something pours and gushes out.
(Kristiva)
Man is an open system
Sexuality and language, co-dependent: open system is a crossroads.
Trapped in web of language, trapped in web of desire. I want a good review? That doesn't express my yearning for joy, it's a bad substitute I make do with.
Life task, to find joy-- not gratification (which is linked to bad substitutes) Turn thirst toward compassion, away from desire.
On the one hand there is nothing but the knowing subject (the constructor of illusions)(Play) On the other hand that subject derives from an alien significance that transcends and overwhelms it, that empties it of meaning (the unconscious).
So, don't let YOU play ('games' with rules for winning, shuffle what is, power that 'wins)
But let UNCONSCIOUS play (discombobulate, create, bring to light, to coagulation)
Freedom
not to empower self,but to let unconsciouds play (havoc with self)
disolve desire (power to gain)
replace with compassion (let things EXPAND to new scale, where discovery is in opening gaps)
Not in achiving aim.
Expansion through relationship with other. Be widened.
Take what's normally there and intensify it! (That means holes appear in it!
Read Breton, after a day of TV watching because about to move.
So lost touch with the mutil-aspect. But Breton restores it (the manifesto)
Ring of associations
Multiple grid being

The word 'creates' (coagulates) out of chaos... being.
But enlightenment is to realize that word isn't what it is.

describe object
vs describe describing

DO describing: is you describe, what object appears?
Don't describe the known, differently
but
create new material to be known
Most novels seek new way to describe what we feel and experience
Im interested in feeling or experiencing
something different
That can only be done by
not describing
because tools for describing
are pre-honed to what-is
What matters is
being in flow of ideas

everything that arises is empty flush point
through which everything flows (all conditioned but also UN-

GROUNDLESSNESS AS GROUND!
GROUNDLESS NESS as GROUND
The real is the pinpoint particular of the moment
while the linguistic meaning is always a fictional construct which is called a universal
Each moment says "It does not yet appear what we shall be".
The world of what is really real is the result of the NONexistence of any independent self-established substance. It is EMPTY of self-existence because of the relational organization that makes all integrating possible. The emptiness of any self-established entity is what the world is full of, nothing exists but only in relationship to others.
The tremendous experiences of this, not an intellectual matter but a full and vivid participation in the life of the whole world, experiencing it's uninterrupted flow directly, without intervention of conscious thought
We can never find what we are seeking in an object, no matter how subtle, know that and so shift to observation, absolute global emptiness within which plentitude awakens now.
Leave behind idea of improving, nothing to find, to achieve. Searching and wanting are fuel for entity you BELIEVE yourself to be. Be simply aware of the facts of your existence without wanting change
The unknown is closest to us, to close to be perceived. It is closer than picking a flower
No longer the idea of being somebody (be nobody) BE INTIMATELY familar with the certainty that ABSOLIUTELY NOTHING PERCEIVED CAN POSSIBLY GUARANTEE BLISS.
Groundlessness as ground

In language we have something
(given something that sevcretly serves another purpose)
that has ability to move us in terms of overtones
Strengthen or lessen overtones
(Life also: given us to live and develop? or to suggest OTHER)
Because a word slips and slides
Release that slip and slide quality
All representation like that
Everything: reminds us of the whole
Only

Desire is to break vessel

Truth of the POUR from hheart

NO! Don't let be co=opted to build!
Sleep--automatism
happiness seems to be

variety aimed at sameness
variety focused on sameness
Simplicity and sameness as goa;l
but don't short circut
----------
That silence that presceeds saying
write out of that
It can't be embodied in language
so it's in language breaks
That moment before saying
The world isn't here for a reason
It closes up when you turn to it for reason
It's closing...offers a reason, that's what you grasp, a mask
behind which hides the real (nothing)
Poetry as attempt to catch...
interrupted feeling, in which (a break) one says without saying "This or that"
Write what can't be thought
See without seeing object
Get into stillness , by writing
giving up theater
do-- nothing.
deeply: and not being frustrated
give up theater and keep going
Explain this and live the frustration in others face as you say this
live the 'theyt give up on me'
radio studio? space? Gaps?
Give up theater-- i'll do nothing; make plays, having given up, let breaks, silence, nothing, carry the day
There is layer upon layer of interlocking meanings
and very little else.
So: moment is ambiguous
l) Find mind-- woosh
(die)
2) get into your heart
(heart)
be in your heart, the place we are
Ambiguity same as happiness
Life not continual orgasm, so real happiness impossible
pleasant surprise best we can do.
Ambiguity supposes resolution
But certitude implies further ambiguity
If we are certain, --uh-uh. But ambiguity plays with the further development, going on.
Blotting paper lace doily: consciousness is structure of percieved flower
Consciousness is blotting paper....of blotting paper made object that only

Hollowness of all things

there be men of form (critics, discover
men of content (business, science, pragmatist, audience
men of play (art as spirit engaged
One thing, is not real
But the whole world, in which
not one thing is,
is real.

(In staging) a thing is mentioned, go (physically or imagistically) toward it? or go away from it.
Sperm
You weren't mentioned yet
yet world existed, and happiness existed and god and energy existed.
Electricity flowed
One day, you joined the flow
not to STOP in it.
You. Be an ikon, a central point, a BLOCK? Ugh
But make it flow. . .more. Multiple
more levels, more branches.
Dream (sleep) is like state of energy before born into world (as sperm)
_______________________
Is my secret; exhaustion when NOT seized? Is there is genuienss, in that
Art: act not
fall not into real world with impulses: but let impulses ripen. your self.
turn thirst into com[passion, not desire.
So art
write not the action form
but the savor form
Stage
the savor
Hear, not see
Don't fall into matter, don't coagulate.
Staging a play-coagulation starts? STOP it. Stop acts, images etc. . .
Whatever arises, look at it as something to live inside, not a value in itself.
My soul-movement is still possible.
True in writing and staging also
To write (or act) use hand to conduct.
I can't abide (wong of me!)
living in a world
where only concern isn't spiritual devolpment
But this IS such a world!
A circle, several feet from head
Is this problem outside or inside the circle? (in me or in world)
Both are empty!
Only on circle's surface, does the problem coagulate and exist! (imaginary)
Every event mirror of every other event (because of that circle?
A universe stranger than we CAN suppose, calls to us--
Sacred hides itself in revealing itself
Reveals itself in very act of hiding itself
Ego is, thing to reject information that comes from intuition
Do something that violates all concepts of catagory
Give up effort. Write from center of effortless, expansion.
Only goal is effortless expansion, only non-seeking can it come.
Any attempt to grasp, hinders.
Don't SCREW UP THE BROW with effort
just relax into the dispursion.
Strain cuts down to tunel vision, effortlessness widens and you acts are FLOATED by inner expansion
What's it about? The energy that acts through you and isn't yours, that disolves the solidity of the projection in which we live. Age of the disolve.
Why I love two musics, the yes BUT...
Sink, into the rich loam (sleep) sink into inner expansion and my voice comes and experience is inside out. (MY circle experience)
Just write ROOTS of brain rush.
Look at scene, deeply, but DE FOCUS (as in rehersal) and let unseem come (write it without seeing it, IE focusing on it).
Take what's there and intensify it, which means holes appear in it!
Sperm: You weren't mentioned yet, yet the world existed, as did happiness and what you see now. One day you joined the flow, but don't BLOCK it. Let it go on as-if without you.
We can never find what we are seeking in an object. Nothing percieved can give bliss, so disolve percieved
Don't fall into the concrete world. Give up theater, and keep going. Live the frustration of this position. Make plays, having given up the theater. Let this logical impossibility carry the day.
Don't use insight to form plays! Let it be it's own end! Tight self circle!
ZANZOTTO
Piled up, multiple reference and catagories.
Intricate and layered
cancels out the physicality:
vaporizes back into spirit

since all selves are self-confined and limited to a perspecvitive that coagulates. falsely. the vapor of reality
It's thre CHOSEN perspective
that lies
That solidifies (error-izes) into a world.
I try to complexify and layer in order to disolve a world
Spread
STRETCH
the world, so THIN.
Gebser, a perspectival
adjectives now emphasise relations between objects, and take effect in all directions.
Notion of objects has lost significance, together with perspectivity achieved through adverbs that deepen object vis a vie point of view of observer.
Gained is spiritual light reigning between objects-- tensions and relations between 'em
perspective distorts, since part is betrayal of whole: even sum of parts. . .
poetry is writing of history, not history of dates, but of the dateless.
Action, replaced by poise
things transparant so ground shines through
Everything that happens to me is a challenge to have insight into it
Language that was once description becomes pure utterence.
(Language that was action, becomes poise)
Withdrawal; divest word of taste, color, and make it a circumscribed parable that's lost all terresterial sense.
Word: raise origin into present.
Stretch: a perspectival
Think; translucent
Use writing to spread ME.
Do something to myself, not audience
Language allows us to say. . .the otherwise , the exception to. . .being
Saying errs the said (which is a disclosure of what cannot be said)
Faster flow of syntax, more awakened sense of ellipse, equal a tendency toward silence
Function of art, stretch consciousness , make it thin.

We think of self as whole. We act out of that assumption
But
We wobble
We are (self) in fact, tied to non-definable 'other' in way that off-centers us.
We are TIED to OTHER off-centers
Life as game of wobble billiards
The mind king (poem:)
(find the emptioness in all things)
There are two kinds of creation, serving two needs.
1) Because we are pre-occupied, tense and tired. Much culture is made as occasion for a release into the relax of the known 'desireable'.
Text as remembering the past (pleasure or excitement)
2) Other moment of culture, urges us to go into unknown modes of 'receiving'. Gives us a new language to assimilate, needed because of an imbalance in our particular setting of time and place. We have COAGULATED on a particular way of seeing.
New text stretches us out again, as a rack would.
(need now is to re-find how life (because of a daily-life reality that denies alternate world and alterity and flow)
is a wobble on an off-center.
The off-center is FED from another space (which 'other' is also an off-center)
So a network of mutually sustaining off-centers)

The poem (art) as nothing-ising the world
Return world to nothing
Pure projection of conditioned ego.
Write to let the

Don't let the writing coagulate into real
It's function is to spread us

Anti-gestalt art
The normal 'gestalt' art vs an art that would SPREAD you (strain)
Writing (and getting ideas) like a

IE. start cycling, NOT at beginning.

STRETCH (stare!)
Language as consciousness without corresponding subject; then life is adventure, search for applications.
Language as fiction
Goal is to be obscure, yet memorable
Fill memory with construct rather than experience:
BUT
construct that demands filling: vs memory that is filled, mind should be filled with incomplete lures
Ideas are signs- one carries out orders
BUT
Poetic contructs are lures- one explores
Evocative just flashes, from past- one explores
Both as floating signifiers- one explores, where to apply 'em?
Art should give one keys, search for the door it fits.
Free language from everday communication in which it's possibilities are reduced to bare minimum of usefullness
Decartes-- method as possible escape from fictions of mind
Mall.-- fiction as aim of method, creation of new reality inherent in language
Me: language as not new reality, but probe, tool, lure
To lure us into a lived life that doesn't coagulate as earthly life has done.
To open dialogue with the other
The overmind of the species
OK, who am I talking to?
What? me--
No. I just heard a voice in my head.
(Release: into imagination)
It's telling me how to get out of the body.
We are not now what we yearn and are destined to be
We are emerging from crysalsis. Worm(monkey) cocoon(culture, self-consciousness) butterfly--FLY

All perception covers perception(Valery also)

undifferentiated means ineffable because caused by all and relating to all

story to Kate.
Symbolist world rich= vision beneath of pulse of cross roads; forces find cross roads in things.
But our world is disolved into circutry; as things ARE crossroads
so thinner art, in which not a thing to make us see powers inside it, things are not as lens
but we see pulses, vibrations, and task is to keep thing from re-coagulating.

Have a memory (light)
Don't tell about it
But
flow, under its atmospheric pressure, it's gravity.
The rich NOW is experienced only as a memory
So link it to another and another
but don't report on those images
rather, make allusions that are so thin
because the NOW takes prescidence over the aluded to
as if re-stitching us to consciousness
to presence
for the first time!
Writing as stitching.
My desting is just to touch on things so lightly
allude to things
and ever more, shifting things
Things 'come' to me
Just whif
the map of that
the structure of that
pointilism
12 tone
Language so thin....stretch space
Strong point, the inability to do anything
Language that doesn't touch or effect or move even a speck of dirt.
A "weak force" phenomenon, in which light can grow.
To move things with language, is to stay fallen in material world
We mark a place as mine
It IS mine, since I construct-percieve it. (I in it it in me I in it)
Art is place where objective and subjective cross, echoed by eyes cross in neural system
We are machines for making the world beautioful (a sunset isn't beautiful, not even red)
We are here to feel (not think, get through that) Life as gift, to feel)
So we Mark things (feeling, seeing beauty)
Cross brain
Also, we can't see too much, or die, disolve and no longer serve marking (seeing, feeling prupose) That's why brain is filter. We're here to feel, (see) but too much kills us, so balance
"(Year of Furnace"_) Here's a writer, me, who writes without narrative or logic. Why? Because he's living in a world where...
The best of people in this society proclaim... (use my notes)
Know nothing, have nothing to say (put on headband)
Keep goingh, get mixed up,
picking up dirt as roll down road
I do not exist
Imagine world (now) before (this vista without me
Now now now
vs
once once once
What was I before I was I
Once, before one was an individual, when one was still the whole
Art as evolutionary
bees-whole, no consciousness
animal-consciousness as self
man-consciousness as whole
how do it? by having nothing to say! (as choice of saying is from self-consc.
We do mentral telepathy all the time, in fact.
Talk every day, from what been, thru stree, put in us, and we telepathically pick up on it, who knows how
so make a new choice
pull from what, with no stress, floats and tumbles and transforms and is extensive OUTSIDE us.
You can let one or other flow
you choose
Just total give up, relax, harmony
Total communication. No longer waiting, etc.
(are you picking up messages?
Not really
Ah, where did THAT come from-- look, anothger message, the way this table is angled, (etc)
Kierkagardian: TENSION of evolution effort
Passive vs actif
Tension of evolutionary effort (*bulge in head)
vs
fall, into natural biology (zen?)
Life uses both
We fight to be right
are not ever
But life uses us as fertalizer
which is ok. Passive and actif
Confront the other without making it partr of own system, Impossible>?
Why experience other? Cause it's inside me.
How experience other? Express it, and it's inside our system. Can other be contacted?
The issue, can we escape self-system.
Experience you can't retain? (inconscious)
Man falls into language, that 's the problem. Language. Words, are an 'evil' inside us-- the other.
Temptation.
Jews wander, Book. Language. Redeem fall by study, system
Christ: be like children: word
Aim or writing say nothing (not mean nothing)
Ideal of lit: =speak to say nothing
Circle around other, visit the other
Write life, transformed by poetry
Language that is wounded
Language inadequate, but never sufficiently so (it always points. . .so we think there's something there, we add to the construction, get in deeper into the nothing it points to)
When we lose what we have to say, we speak
we speak to suggest something not being said is speaking
Speaking is a throwing pebbles at target, even if one hits, others go off and pull us from the hit
That is INHERENT in speaking. It's a scattering, of the before speaking.
Write and stage the scatter
Mastery is the LIE of non-scatter
(Feb 26)
Language better than people
People are built of clay, with few variations
Language is evolutionary force in man
What is evolution? Not ,
bird gets special feathers to adapt to cactus, but total evolve together. bird-cactus linked
Cactus-desert linked
desert, earth system, cosmos, on and on
So not cause-effect
But
A whole, that bi-sects into parts
(Language bi-seccts into words, and they bisect, the morfe to reflect each other
so (as in mircrophysics) collisions of cars= not parts of cars, but TRUCKS (because tendency to whole. . .?)
In film, watch something from another time]
In theater, watch something now, that is never now. IE, there is nothing there, it is either coming or going
So catch on the fly
Watch the nothing
The DIFFERENBCE between
Just past, just coming.
What goes wrong in daily life? One's energy is focused on overcoming problem
(your dis-ease)
Where there's no problem, either play or lethergy comes
But one should focus energy on pre=problematic stance
the radient self, makes a shell. Your energy should enjoy thickening or decorating or filigreeing that shell. BOTH problem and play come from outside to be registered on the shell. They are never THERE, moving into you. So if energy is focused on them, one doesn't see the radient shell, and the impressions don't EMPOWER one, they depleat one.
Write the difference, between the between
The difference and between that has no essence, but is always different
write the difference between object and ground
difference (un-renderable)= sacred
Consciousness is wholnesses ability to take impulses, to make things out of differences, make things iof differentness (which is no thing)
That gap of making= sacred consciousness
My style of speed and non-consider, allows gap into writing
Free-play of thought processes, one possibility selects itself
Artr imitates itself
Consciousness= 'see' several versions, one pops up into consciousness
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be in between the differences of different pop-ups of consciousness.
Don't be in the pop-up! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
We go to art to feel
whole out ofwhich parts are
To see parts, as whole-evokers
In life, we feel parts pull us from whole we'd like to be disolved in (yet be ourselves)
Art, takes parts and aligns them
art harmonizes parts (even as dis-harmony) to re-globalize attention
(bad harmony is to convince that what is not included is not relevent, good harmony is to suggest that even left out is included)
Bad` art intensifies parts== sentimental
Not
sufficiently whole-oriented (so, many elements of composition not lined up, just plot is, or other 'real-social world inheritences')
consciousness = overlapping waves
two, or more, musics
The universe proposes creativity to itself. It looked at itself, flinging vast arms of intro-extro-spectation, and the creativity the universe proposes is multiplicty aimed at one-ness, so shifts and level jumps and
streams continually deflecting to new streams
all sing the one song.
I do not exist
God lives in me (this place I was)
If I am not here, the world still is.
I dont make art, God does
I don't love, etcx, God does
There is no space bwteen things
All manifestation, supresses all other aspects
Everything is fuzzy (wave packet) so precise fuzzy
Reality as MIGHT particles. Bringing into consciousness turns might into thing. So consciousness lies. It rejects fullness.
Difference as possible quanta states. Then a thing coagulates, one snaps in. But make all rejected possibilites reverberate.
Unobserved reality is radicaly different from observed reality.
Write, unobserved reality
Don't let the writing observe.
WE don't create reality, we collapse it into things
Suggest it before collapse
That's the task
Post modern situation is no meta-language
Fragmentation (rather than alienation) of subject
Different realities collide, co-exist, interpenetrate (in all areas)
No final mix
Only hetregenity (on this fallen earth)
and 'other' bubbles up--
but bubbles can't be sustained in this world
If imprint is let, it is negative of the positive (not-being because not sustainable)
Write the bubbles
Don't hold them
A relation to texts that seem to mean, but are slippery.
LANGUAGE MUST
LEAD!
DON'T THINK BACK--WHAT DID I WANT TO SAY? DOES IT COHERE?
LOOK FORWARD < LET WHAT COMES>
Words lead, just come
Brodky, Mann== dive into past, dig deeper
Doderer== open window to future, be invaded
Paradise-spontanious
hell-compulsions of system and law
UTOPIA of the left out , to put what has not yet been thought
aphoristic discourse as form of protest against the fall
write the forgetting of thoughts
poetry- erase thought with spontanity (erase system and goal with spontanaity)
bubble: from other place (non place) comes an energy that can;'t live here, can't be sustained here. A bubble rises
Bursts
(If fixed in medium, it's the shell, not the core, you fix the trace, not IT)
But write it, that thing that flashes but can't be here
LET LANGUAGE RULE. MAKE PATTERNS. LET MEANING ARISE MORE SLOWLY: DON'T MEAN, BUT LET IT COME
Hold meaning at arm's length
Let music rule
JUST LISTEN TO LANGUAGE
WORDS SHIFT
INSIDE ON-GOING ARTICULATION
BUT THE SHIFTINGNESS (of levels and words and things)
DOESN"T ADD UP TO THAT
BUT CIRCLES ROUND TO WHOLENESS
Secret content of art is failure to really incarnate object, refered to thing, or
even itself.
It slips away, like the moment of life.
Slippages:
Everything is someyhing else
re-direct
jumps, substitutions, and when you move on, stained by what just went by, a layer of which still adheres and colors
We have filters--
cut out politics to talk aesthetics
cut out daily life to talk philosophy
but if filters are slippery?
non-filter, deffective ones...
Man: was given moment of consciousness different from ape'
"This is blue"
But he developed it into systems: ERROR
Systems=illusionary construct, rather than play with consciousness
Old: we combine "this is blue, this is cold" to set up a network, that leaves out too much, all that isn't in consciousness.
Perhaps 'this is blue' was supposed to whirl us into other dimention.
Consciousness as lightening flash;
Idea was to make monkey into god, whirl him to other dimention through evolution.
Instead he made a system to reduce pressure to evolve (pressure as flashes) and so consciousness stops and deflects into man
SLIP GEERS
SLIDE AROUND ROCK (rather than try go through)
Greesed
A block, a no, makes workd of blocks (world of shit) a world in which greesed one slips around, makes the blocks- pearls. World of joy
When one wants (books, food, etc) one wants to break from suffocating self enclosed-- but if it's assimilatable, it turns STRANGNESS of unscanable other into domesticated self again. So consciousness is wrong, logfic and clarity and all ideas are wrong. One wants the OTHER, to BE the other, to not know the self. Art can do this now. So world from unknowable, non-conscious other.
Make no decisions, hand it to gd.
REALLY have that faith (decision)
Get something down,
then
let it reveal zen truth of presence as it refers back
then
let it metamorph and reflect back
childrens tales, fables, simpleminded
sliding reference, all mixed
studded with signs, images vs symbols, keys, clues
Slippage bast rocks to keep going.
Start from what is (what comes in the experienced now; from gd?) rather then trying to to make it be a picture of the now
Gears slip
Slide past rocks
Start with what comes, now in this space you are in. . .vibrating to that light.
Apres coup
delayed reaction, re-interpretation, response.
Fate and chance:
Only chance brings us those moments that, re-interpreted (seen as repeated) connect us to real.
(what is real is everything that can't be encountered)
Get something down, then let it return (invisibly, as something else, later in text) and the sliding continuing is that thing, returning to be real as it was not at first!
Let the language speak easily by remembering "if I hadn't been concieved by both parents, or if I had been differently adopted, this vista would still exist, but where would my language be and would this vistae still impress my language. . .
Art: a) Imitate self
b) real content is failure to incarnate object (defered effect, apres coup
c) subject is change of subject. But if you identify that as subject, you can no longer change. . .
d) frustration, and something comes from other source that goal of siezing object
Desire: to be free of desire. That in an active, vibratory way
Not the same as desiring things (success, love, etc) because those bring end of deire but they don't, because to gain each is to lack the 'elsewhere' to them each.
Desire is really for 'whole', and any thing is part.
Real as what can't be said (whole)
Implies writing style of continual returning to, to be re-said (secretly)
Usually write to gain desire, ie, embodying a thing
vs new write to NOT embody anything but what is embodied ALREADY as a word is set down (ie, imitate self)
In art: write to de-embody object, so subject (writing) shows.
As in Hamlet , object is revenge, but write not revenge but rather notate all revenge's failures: or paint apple? or failure to be apple.
Whole task is to make circulate in a new way, what we do know already.
Make it stick to new hitherto impenetrable places (where we normally forget to remember-what-we-know)
Defered re-action; is apres coup, reaction defered which re-interpretes
So in a place like Paris, there in body, isn't the same as later, with no body it's re-experienced, re-acted to as meaning (mystery, fullness, etc) which it couldn't be when in it. Because in it, you had no way to make it resonate except with past, so you must wait til it is a past. The now is always a means to COAT the past, the kernal, made like a pearl. PEARL!
.........................
What reveals, conceals. (say= not say). So you must know you're not-saying in saying. Poems: move nothing because they want to be what you are, rather than moving away from you into mirage-object! And you are impulse system that is ALL (only to get split in object system you are thrust into by speaking, which is a system you then inherit.
Staging also: each move. . .covers the truth that is all moves. So make staging 'move nothing'.
..........................
the process of disclosure includes an absence intrinsic to its presencing.
absence is ingredient to presence.
write to let be disclosed the interlacedness of all events.
Do events come into words, to separate them out of broth? No. That's a lie. Words move one to different perspective maybe, so one see's the 'all' from the angle of, say-- a rose. But the 'rose' is a lie, unless it is an 'angle' on all-non-rose.
In directing: stop the not-said from vanishing, or you get suffocated, since you need all to breathe. So render the performed non-real yet with feeling.
..............................
My unconsciousness is not co-incident with me. An animal finds itself speaking, and becomes thereby subject to (of) that speaking. Subject is submerged in signifiers (as under the surface of a lake)
Write the 'slips of tongue' in which submerged self comes and vanishes. If it stayed, it would no longer be self, but be language system.
Write 'plots' that slip the tongue (gears)-- and keep going (which is like the 'slip' vanishing again, which it must to keep subject 'alive' and 'real' (ie, ineffiable!
...............
(reading things that start pretending discourse without holes and gaps (real ineffable) , I suffocate (the subject self suffocates) because the impulse, which is ineffiable and 'real' and 'me' (I am another) is snuffed out.
Non-effective writing. Effect nothing.
Avoid goals, escape trap that goals create.
Crazy, soverign, , little logical webs of non-sense.
Explication but, slide from, slippery geers
Return to babble, not self-indulgent childlike, but talk freed of gla.
Immersed in non-savoir
The head spins, but a not-effort, all round woven. Saying doesn't work. In writing, the hand catches one of many flashed words. Options, and one is chosen, on a rhythmical basis, on a skating on the edge basis, on a staying in proper degree of non-committed limbo basis.
Spoken, the sound of voice, effects what's being said, leads it, the body leads (intention leads) into the already hewed out groves of functioning in world as it is. Writing as non-vocal. Slips through.
Writing is delay, you can't write as fast as thinking. Speaking slows thought because it is too forceful. Speaking makes only what comes to the surface be-there. Writing can get closer to other level.
Supress fixation on the line of development. Unrepress the multi-directional symbolization.
Be near-sighted? De-focus. So in-you depth can be there. Force blocks self.
Goal is where you end up. Goal is forgetting the goal.
To see a goal is to throw vision over obstacles, so covered territory is non-existent. Rather, make life be-- resistence is the key, try to let each moment of resistence deflect the language. To effort-ly analyse, think etc is to jump over the real moment of resistence. The real is the lively meander, against the flicker of presented options.
Real= effect of thinking (that thinking makes a world)
Yet: can't be thought (the world made by thinking, made by language, has overtones language misses. A 'thinking' by-product that language misses.
The real is real because it isn't real to your consciousness and language.
Art should evoke that excess, suppliment, that language and thinking excrete. (Like the spots on your eyes that seeing makes, yet if you look to them they slide away.)
How this relates to sliding past rocks that arise in text-- that's not where the real is! Or in staging, slide away from event showing etc. Aura.
* * *
Theater of impulse:
Theater that (writing that) picks up on what the language really says.
(I don't want to be here. Nobody said you had to sting or produce honey. Don't think I'm making advances)
Impulse (desire) defies language as system into which you are inserted
Story, that keys to being swerved from originalk impulse. Never work out the impulse that starts things, but swerve (in staging also)
Often, hide the self
Theme: denying world is what you think it is
Whatever you think it is, it is different
Whatever you think anything is, it is different. Because thinking, bends. . .
Difference is everything. . .and everything is different from what you think in that it is non-different from everything else. And yet, it is different from that non-diffeence that you now think now it is,. . .
(that difference that is (and isn't and is) you can do two things with-- call it poetry
--or call it madness or imaturity etc, and kill god in you
God as all that is unknowable(because unscanable, to think it is to bend it) about forces that control you and world. So, appeal to all that controls unbeknownst.
Art theme, is seduction by what you make in thinking and how to free self.
Theme therefore, is it's own shape. and freeing from it, discarding it. Erasing, as themselves, not only objects it pictures , but even itself as image.
My plays are about something left out of human life.
Human life is un-satisfactory, by constitution. Human life is the product of an unsatisfactory coagulation of productive forces. Stones are ok. Dogs are ok. But then consciousness entered.
Human life has an unfillable gap at its beginning
Consciousness arises out of resistence and imaged transcendence
This image=desire
But desired isn't what you really want (the image is always error)
What you want is state before consciousness (resistence) BUT conscious.
So write, state before consciousness but conscious
But you can't
so write that, but it ends consciousness, so verge on it, be on the verge of losing consciousness, loosing understanding, loosing identity, giddy
What's left out of this life we live, is awareness of this left-out thing, which is our poisedness on the knife edge of desire for wholeness that falls into
error if conscious or into non-existence if not conscious. So we're between the horns of this delima, either error or unconsciounsness.
Only hope is that everything written (said) strikes overtones. Pick up, in writing, on the dissonant that sucks away from tone, so that overtones can be heard as a return. So tone doesn't dominate, because it is product of unheard overtones and so it (tone) isn't real.
Along with slide past rocks (keep goingness, giddy)-- skip forward (skid), change scene with jumps, don't be too rigid to do that. Change to next scene
Everything wants to speak. And that creates consciousness, and then consciousness wants to speak. So one is lost in language? Everything wants to speak. The city. The street. The room.
Be in a creative panic, panic as the source of openness. Panic as source of open heart and open ground.
The self as non-existing to it and all else can exist. Write everything into it's non-existing concreteness-in-moment-flash.
(7-22-90)
Desire for getting a time of nothing
Is to make a gap, to receive message. Tasks done, just sit
Words, not syntax or explain
Not write, is important.
Just sound, pluck,
tone
reach edge of universe? No, it's not build like that:
You can only. . .return to start point
Universe build to baffle getting 'outside ' it
Everything feeds something else--in a circle, (thats the eternal return)
Everything finds desirable, something else.
So can't explain, since its circular.
One word explains, since it's in the circle
To desire empty space (void of time) is to end discourse and let word be full with the poignancy of the circular devouring.
Try to make an art that operates the way the universe operates
Then: subjects flash in and out, chimera
But universe goes on
Word vs syntax, is answer to 'how do I use this beauty". The sweeping away of subject into now universe just is, in its circular devour.
like the sliding past on going non-thought writing in which
moment devours the next
feel swell, swoop on greesed wheels glide, and drop things, errors-- which are useful then, if re-eaten
write consciousness tumbling over itself, sliding around itself, thrones, synagogs.
consciousness distorts the real, which is it's own product.
SO idealism? But no, the distortion in it's constitution throws up the 'other' (the real) as a crust.
Consciousness, as it extends in time, starts tumbling over itself.
Life is experiencing THINgs, folding over itself, OUT of control as consciousness in time, bunches up (into 'real' that isn't)
Be in unborn Buddah mind.
FOOd grows from seed which is tramnsofmer of what? We are food, what eats us? Trees, flowers, come from-- re-cycling. Re-cycling is all. We are recycled to find beauty a 'yes', but that's re-cycled also from same stuff as us. as is ugly. Eat, eat. Unborn mind.
Tex Avery-- the transformaytions, violently sketched. Just explode it like Tex. Agetha sells soul to devil to be film star, then wants out. No go.
Devil is treadmill of 'worth'
My parts: spin:
If meaning clamps-- like magnet on metal
there is an end to spinning
No sparks fly out to illuminate and TOUCH
heretofore alien
cold
parts of the world.
But if the tension of an exact distance
Is maintained
then,
miracle millions of parts
trellace over the dry field
and raw turns sweet-swollen
and bursts again,
again seeding
again whirling
like wild hammers.
The center of X's like was-- . . .
One word that's all words.
Maneuver word X, into position where it's all words.
*
Sliders
Keep going. . .aroiund rocks
Geers slip
*
Unconsconscious on smae plane as conscious, just faster, like whorls of water, or bleep thru steady pattern. Speed approaching all-at-once;
one word as all.
*
To know other as unknown.
To know own loved strangeness, wityhout domesticating it, yet not 'not=know' it.
Gnomic, truism aphorism keeps strange
*
Consciousness as time, unconscious as outside time, not accessable in time.
Unconsciousness can't arise, it can only 'push' other things into consciousness (into time). If consciousness goes fast enough to 'lighten' it , so other things are pushed. In physical world, mass increases with speed
vs mental world, opposite.
*
Go fast, things arise
Language prodices a text of which the effect is the author
Write to produce a radical knowledge lacking reference
Write to lose something, the false (mirror-imaginary) I
Stageing as arousal, fopreplay only, in which language comes
Man is a system that out of language only exists, and thereby through a fiat creates a self and world for conscious manipulation, yet this thing that 'allows' him to exist is made in error of the real.
Hense his mis-fit
staging uses pictures presented, unfulfilled
Language works, makes links, so saying X, language leads to y. Then we are affected by y even though we didn't notice it
Humans are the material of language
ARRIVING IN A PLACE, TRYING TO GET THE LAY OF THE LAND-- (lay, means what? Correction. Correction. Let me orient myself)
Be in language to exist. But, once in it, need more. voracious. Yet out of it, lose the sense of self.
Don't talk-- vertigo, til language gushes in again, and lies you to yourself by making you 're-be'
man is enabled-limited by any skill (language for instance)
Do anything
Then
copy (initate) it
(art imitates itself)
Imitates-- what has been THROWN there
or
the here of this present moment, like doodles
a line on paper echo (imitate) it
Let its aura
excite similars
imitate=trace its aura, its radiations
keep going= let arua inscribe the line
***
Copy the impulse- that's what even beethoven does with theme and variations. Play with developement of a theme, imitation. So a conversation played with. A story?
Play with-- all my reading and background and associations and enlargements and 'chunking' and distortions and slidings
A doodle is self copying (or echoing) but then a need arises to swerve off, or cut thru
***
But start impulse is always a deep saturation with what is HERE NOW
(the light)-- story OR dialogue from that, in 'keep going' mode, the SLIDING mode
Always start from unknowable present moment; closest, most mysterious.
Present in which you become lost
Filtered unconscious from future, rather than past
Then, lost in the close, impenetrable, present, 'keep-going' of swerving
Staging: never illustrate, but withdraw (Kahbala)
(the present isn't knowable)
Make it more mysterious.\ Reveal the mystery
gesture of pulling away from premature closure
with-draw
Don't 'say' in staging,. rather take back and withdraw to keep in play
Writing keeps in play by sliding around blocks that arrive as 'meaning' to be developed.
***
ordinary condition is narrow focus, goal oriented: a strut, a thin line, connects subject with objects of his interest, while all the rest of the object and the being's self remains untouched.
Not self-object, but multiple-singular which swings between all in subjective or all in objective
art must deny life, deny the horizon-constructed of objects arrayed 'out there' apart from a postulated 'us' (which is made of memory chips, not in present-to-self of the present)
The EDDIE stories are moments of presence, in which self is lost, or,
feel self as whole (more self by losing 'self' as goal oriented.)
There is thrust that tries to jump over or manipulate objects.
There is thrust that allows the deflection of each object to weave a web that the self becomes co-extensive with
there is a thrust that sucks back into the self the sweet juice of each encountered object
***
Relate unknowable present, drenched (light) to sliding around on-going- to withdrawl that makes space for arising.
The present (and any literary work) is a bubbling, boiling pot, not (if it is any good) a static, seizeable church like ikon. (Stage the bubbling, boiling of here and not here. that can't be seized cause present . .)
EMBODY
Unknowable present
keepgoinness (impulse)
rehersal dead? Don't jack up, work from that (unknowable present. Really accept and learn from, rather than coverover)
Write from cells (release not adrenelin, but love)
Render: absolute condition of present things
Sliding, slipping geers
Something outside you informs each momemt, flows thru you, Try to evoke that (eternal ground. Used to be rhyhthm, then imagery, now-- slidingness and minute self-reflex)
Theater has been objects, billard balls, so x vs Y. Now see how X mixes with Y, or both are subsumed. . .
-----------
Writing: something surfaces in the unknowable present: an impulse (bodily)
To stage that? It has no environment. Normal environment in a play is not the present, but the past, solidified.
How make it 'unknowable and now'?
BLAGA
Man wants oneness (unity, and
always fails: the minute man
choses ANY interpretation, the
world is burified by that choice of
"unity" (any interpretation, which makes
disparate facts a unity)
It's an automatic reaction formulation
built into world's constitution!
Art= qualification.
Grass is green (but--
Art therefore like
lightening that produces
forked routes
(why I suffocate by art which
finds theme, and hews to that.
UNTRUE!)
Write to make item or event
unknowable, because "known'
aspect is lie, distortion,
taking away the oxygen we need
to be in touch with ground which
is always throwing new webbs, attaching the
'event' to other
qualifications and systems.
Focus on red-- afterimage (green) is seen
Bringing to consciousness (I see!) creates after-image (others, illusions)
since seeing is an effort which is an un-natural selection out of whole.
Discrimination and distinction causes multiplication and end to 'suchness': so WORLD has built in impenetribility-- either unsayable suchness, or multiple contradictions and illusionary 'others' and opposits
Usual effort is to clarify (ahh, he is desrious of, she is...)
I try to fold back those distinctions, one on other, mixing
so see can't distinguish suchness
Core is attitude of (not feeling) initiation to hidden order.
Play (poetry): makes gesture of communication but communicates nothing except( fundamental) need of human soul to catch world's meaning.
poem speaks on behalf of the strange-- no, on behalf of the other, of an altogether other. (Celan) (Faster flow of syntax, more awakened sense of ellipse, poem's tendency toward silence) Holds its ground on it's own margin. In order to endure, it calls and pulls itself back from an already-no-more into a still-here.
Enlarge art>? No, take art with you into your innermost narrowness, and set yourself free. Eternalization of mortality (mothing but that) and in vain
otherness.
Everything reflects each other thing (necklace) Write and stage that (which means in staging, don't let actors find easy way, because...
The MYSTERY, the unexplicable: is; that all is interpenetrate
Staging, show falseness (artificial from natural social ptof view) of each moment as itself, (its really 'all else' but itself)
(Brown) To percieve itself, the universe must falsify itself, and so it becomes mysterious
Self-division, to observe self, CREATES universe and also, falsifies it.
Any 'theory' is self division with the 'marked off part' grown so large, the 'observed' is poverty-stricken. So theory see's a 'bit', which is a falsification in being 'true' about its bit.
To be mysterious, is true, is unrepresentable
Write the flow around boulders of representation, they re-fuse into whole:

Not a repetition but a repture
There is in every word, the desire for alterity, for double meaning

Bachaladian poetics of fluidity and jumps
Not will to live, but will to attack, dramatic and uncertain.
Metamorphosis, rather than metaphore
The classroom is hell and hell is a classroom
System of reflexes,, rather than impressions
Verbal sprout
The poet always thinks about SOMETHING ELSE (expression as more than life, OTHER than life)).
Works that are negatives of positive life. No developer will revverse their shades. They must be accepted in their attempt to break up.
Work that is created before observed. Has no goal, is yet an action. No plan yet is coherent. Its language not the expression of previous thought, but expression of a psychic force that has suddenly become a language. In short-- instant language.
Move from realm of images to realm of actions
Man desires a becoming.
The principal function of poetry is to transform us
Cruelty must be placed at the beginning of instinct. Intelligence must also be corrosive, it attackks a problem (just like flower cannot unfold without its probe without a gesture of attack)
Energy is aesthetic
An imagde is a vortex from which and through which, and into which, ideas are constantly rushingNever linger on an object, rather disclove some transforming energy that underlies all things
Not in the imitation of action, but in the dream of action, that the truly human joy of action resides
*****
Man's being is unfixed being. All expression unfixes him. Man is unfixed (not de-centered) by language
Man is the being that lies half open, so that inside and outside flkow together and are inseparable.
(My shell-head, both inside and outside projected on it!!!)
Reality is incomplete. Cries to man to add 'rationality' to it, which rationality never attains reality..
Resist (attack) all charming things. Use them to destroy them.
The faculty of rupture and opposition, (which is the vertical dimention)
Formative in human beings is not interpersonal relations, but their relationship with matter
Not sexual center, but will to intellectuality.
So poetic images of matter not from instinctual depths, but an intermediate zone between unconscious and rational consciousness, at threshold of rational thought.
From zone of material reveries that precede contemplation. (Free play of mind centered on objects)
Even when homo faber is preoccupied with purely practical ends, his efforts are sustained by his 'inward reverie', by his desire to know. this desire experienced as a true emotion
Deformation, as the dynamic character of thought.
Realizing the possibilities of reality ( a fishtail with wings, a paraticle behaving like a wave, why not?)
matter without form, dreamed in its active ambivilance, endlessly deformed, rhythmic, dynamic
Break with immediate experience, against life, explore possibility in subject and object, in world and human beings (science and poetry)
An essential need for newness charactizes the human psyche (and a poem is essentially an aspiration to new images). Submission to reality mutilates the human being.
Man should be defined by the group of tendencies that drive him to go beyond the human condition.

There is in every word the desire for alterity, for double meanings, for metaphor

Poetry imitates what it does not see. Imitates force, rather than movements.
Most important is consciousness of a divided, fragmentary, momentary self (rather than the self of 'projects")
Too often we are caught and crystalized by adult life.
Words (or selves?) are like houses with cellars and attics. We live in one space. But between is a staircase, and this staircase of language is poet's space, the poet's life.

I am thrashing and twisting to get out of a cage, but life drugs me mostly with language.
The mind (body of mind) whirls, circulates, spirals in vortex, but is chained by syntax and word. And seems to calm as its lunging disappears into deep inner space.
So, make language THINNER, like a tincture, so you can see through it.
Make language specific? No-- vast airy circulation.
YOU don't write! (All you do, is keep language thin (the drug, less)
Some one else writes
(Let him enter the pen, be BETWEEN you and page, blocking you from seeing what's happening, You are elsewhere, during the writing)
ANOTHER WRITES : Not you
Thought thinks
Imagination imagines
l) Stranger to yourself, (position from which to view 'otherness')
2) Be not there (non-subjective. Impulse, language, world, writes)
3) Let another enter during delay of writing (discrete vs flow. In jump from one to other)
4) Fuzzy
5) Light is time thinking about itself
Crystaline fuzziness.
Write the future (incomprehensible for now) meaning
Book of future meanings
Multiple language grid proves all words are cuts on continuim that shift. Puns do same. (ie, translations overlap and shift meaning, til starting with one word, shutling back and forth, you end up touching all words)
Old drama suggests problems are solvable, because posable. But all is intractable, because linked to all.
So don't send a meaning to audience (which is cheating of real)
but plow up the field of solidified signs, so you can each plant seed of your experience. Seeds not yet flowering, because life is hard surface on which you shove seeds around, make new patterns, but seeds don't flower.

do peverse reading: what is perversion? what man is-- excess
imaginary-- theater of specific, gestault, felt illusions
symbolic-- of ideas and structure
real-- ineffiable (poetryu, laughter, Bataille)
hunger for meaning, but never fall in it's trap
marginal (the rejected) holds it all; we geo self, and like theater that serves ego. Real art tries to mine (dredge up) other area.
Restore to the seen, the absence that is in words (since tree is anti-tree)
Unconsc: like sausarre, system in which things MEAN only in relation to other meanings, not in relation to 'facts'
Urge to write (symbolic order)= urge to be beyond being, beyond the viscitudes, to be "all". Life is...god (all) withdrawing
ego, which is imaginary, interfears with symbolic usage. Image fixation denies death
we sense that life, which is false as imagery idea, is really death= uncontrollable. Try to use symbolic to get beyond 'life'. To come to terms with death (so-- go to meet death) What is "life"? Imagery seizing us (imaginary) Since god left us on our own-- so-- can we transcend imaginary?
strip down self, get rid of imaginary imagery. End- symbolic terms. Death. But can one get to real, to unclassifable, unexpected?
In art, people prefer what 'tells them about' rather than embodies;
Copying experience 'tells about'
copying people 'under the influence of' tells about
copy nothing
copying a vision tells about
Try to embody appeals to symbolic, copying to imaginary.
To embody --that's what's happening inside terms
Embody death-- the 'real'
people go to art to reinforce illusion (image: life)
Some art: symbolic: manipulates symbols
But some-- real? (unnoticables)
Life's only meaning (that isn't just shuffling inside system so TODAYS meaning & truth is... todays perspective that hides other truths) life's only meaning that is soverign meaning for itself... is jouiasance, excess (against self as ego) which would destroy us
try to evoke a 'what is it", rather than any object
You desire to reclaim rejected part of ID. Objects (other you desire) stand in for that, but aren't it. They can (you think) reclaim it by WANTING it (they want part of me that's 'unacceptable)
humor and death; (death to ego
Funny face= ideal IMAGE distorted by force (stretched etc)
play= distort by impulsiveness
write to create new acess to real by letting language twist: (when I am dead---error, I am dead now)
_______________
what is at issue at the end of analysis is a twilight, an imaginary decline of the world, even an experience at the limit of de-personalization. (strip self of self: more open to world, which is unknowable, not 'things' you like or don't, but 'things' with absence (death) at their center.)
Man isn't entirely in man. The power plant isn't entirely in the p plant (river). Find source of electricity? Is it in river? No
refuse and corpse, show me what I thrust aside in order to live. But what threaten to emerge from the real is ultimately a part of oneself, one's own refuse, one's own corpse
it is death, sustains existence. Meaning of life--more life (born by death: death , remember, of constricting ego) form of life is release, dam burst (orgasm) into being. Life is to be on verge. So it's all and vast. To come into 'being' is to fall (god withdraws?) (otherwise than being)
Imaginary creates a a lack, a gap. The symbolic, on the other hand, retains within itself the antipode of every position. The "not" this.
Scene in play-a man kills--isn't true (full reality), But the sentence "He killed Jack" contains it's opposite and other. So is 'full"
Language opens up play beyond the sense of the said (the seat of the code) Imaginary demands the once and for all object. Language is desire always on the move, with possibility of new meanings.
The HAND must do the writing.
Be lead by the hand. Your writing hand leads your thoughts.
(how make that in staging?
Bresson: When you don't know what you are doing and you are doing your best. Inspiration. Hone in on the stupidity in your work, that is really you that technique covers. but; don't turn that into a technique(your rejected).
Most theater, character exagerates self presentation. How self present the x behind character?
How present the self when it is not presenting itself
Stage: absent self. Non-presented self.
The not-being able to do (because you haven't support, funds) as kernal. The frustration as kernal (ie, hunger as compassion).
Directors make great texts, which are
into ego-helf imaginary gestalts, that's why I hate theater
Find without seeking.
Most theater= convince. No. Reveal some of the tossed away that is the real. Convince is to convince of the gestalt, which is wrong; always
Art: tell the truth: something is missing from 'life'. Recognition of the continual 'yes, but", there is always more to every stagnation (image) of character, idea, behavior. . .(remeber history teacher and pencils)
So: l) leave out
2) include intrusive
In Buchner for instance. Language ok, scene fragments ok. But emphasise that. How? Set: playpen added to sober, chandelier added to poverty. Machine set-- yet never as "IDEA
There is always more than you show. That is only "theme"-- recognized, shared stuff is 'cheat' on life.
at any moment we are only aware of some of what we want. Normal theater actor fixes on what he wants. Director has to suggest the more.
theater is a trap. Mirror image, wholeness etc, a trap
delusional wholeness; fights internal disintegration. Show that
death is homeopathically present in speech. (not in images.) Make staging like speech, like language. Speech always misses-- but don't revert to imaginary.
but instead, let break in on us the real (the accidental, the non-destermined, etc)
Play (production) should meditate only on
really come up against
death only
imaginary supresses the dis-membered impulse body
gaps, between those disparate impulses
void of death
symbolic, between terms, void of death
when you die, love goes, as active or receptive?
continual loss of memory (coherence). Small death of madness (Schopenhaur) when die 'now you give up what you never should have become in first place'
all related to my desire to be 'incoherent'
feed world
'you are ceasing to be something which you would have done better never to have become' (schopenhaur)
die for internal reasons- memory loss (false coherence of I-ego)
2 voice over, disolve into each other
close ups, disole to other closepus, disolve to occasional long (long try to start on empty space
Life spent trying to get one's bearighs
But, be re-lost
Labyrinth
New city- lost! City of perpetual lost self
look at sun, blind, yet it lights
try to find other objects to blind you-- so they cast light
metaphytsics have always been at the center of my art (What is behind what is here)
Death in me (which means other is behind, yet absent as I handle life. can't hold two at once))
That is adressed not by what can be said about it
But by language itself (which holds death in its spaces) So--make art in which language doesn't point at things
But reveals death inside it
When I asked myself "what do I want to see? and answer moment in 'Maids'
I always said tension
I should have said absence
So lst; phenomonological theater. But language interfered
Then, load up language to erase objects
Now. . .
Language purged of self
as director
erase, de-convince of the 'portrayed'
(europe vs america: adolescent: presence)
people want to see 'life' onstage
lie= lifelike
I want to see death on stage
The dis-membered self we're afraid of
Always, how to mount language, so it's what it is, something that holds our own non-being
I HATE theater
but I LIKE fighting it
Besire to create like world, rather than imitate world
Not mere exchange of worn coins once again
Mint new value
Nature mutates-- will it stick?
I mutate
Exchange not encrusted psychologies, (or idea, or perspectives)which end up bering discared eventually as all do
But the inexhaustable font of mutation
what is that font, source? if not death
see? Mutation itself-- not the end product
The flow
(Actor improve, by the way, is same. Expands the given
Only language: code, which is full of absence, can trip up the given (on stage-- unless total improvisation?)
I have no time
(I'm pressed for time)
Story: A story is being told
A window is being opened
A car is being...
There is no speaker without an auditor who replies (in a pause-- or deflects the line...)
Tell story, don't aim at meaning-- just as going on (rolling on) you'll catch things, like fuzz on rolling sticky ball
Meaning siezed is asphyxiation, cause it's defense against life, which is proliferate. Mutation.
I don't have much time! I have to move on!"
To "say" is to make absent (the real). So in staging language (which IS a play) keep that 'real' absent.\ or a language becomes redundant and suffocates.
Art's purpose: extend field of our ignorance, rather than our knowledge (knoweldge parnoid as it defends against REAL that is unknowable in its...) So art: breaks our ego-imaginary constructs. So write NOT meanings, but move on
Stage withdrawal, from meaning, from presence, from closure (language is withdrawal from presence, so don't restore presence)
(I hate anything that gives meaning, finally. I read to find meaning-paradox, of if I get meaning, I feel good (ego) then I get sick, feel doors are shut-- read more to re-open them.)
Dopn't stop to mean, just roll on until...
Never write anything that suggests answer could be forthcoming-- never question: only state what's clearly incomplete.
Man is wobble.(between ego-imaginary and symbolic-partial) Creates (therefore) waves . Waves make nodules *(false self, etc. so LIES (these nodules) are his truth)
1)Biological need, 2) symbolic demand in who's wake arise desire "recognize me". But other is fragmented, so you never get whole (which is what you want)
When I talk, I make a space for you (a hollowed out) in pure language.
Speech transforms other (show other trying to fulfil what the "I" changed it into)
I am not paranoid (defensive knower
I am temporal (limited time
Keep rolling in talk= avoid saying what you 'know'
Time is what upsets ALL apple carts. The run-on of stories is de-stabilizing the imaginary-identity ego. It's the TRUTH. De-stabilize (like the real) Also do this in directing.
Be in relation to (un-imagined) future, where death will round off the incomplete. BY PAYING HOMAGE to the incomplete.
truth of human subject-- realization of temporality (& so, falsity of imaginary and symbolic masks that try to avoid this troubling truth;)
I'm never going to get to say it all (which is ego's program of self-presentation). So don't try to 'mean' (as writer)
To give truth (in play) to old self(audience) is useless; must re-constitute audience. By not-giving normal reference points.
Spectator-- you'll never get to 'understand' (your ego's project): Just be-in it. Bad ambiguity is art that implies you should "get it" through emotional triggers of performance.
Good art "you can't be fulfilled" vs bad art, gives fulfilment to self who is ego.
Teach "do not fulfil" to students.
As artist, never give up your desire. Two ways of giving up- either for some symbolic, social good (settling for identity as 'team player) or insisting on own imaginary satisfaction ( pure vision, arogent self-arousal, mystic vision, too sweet, goody-goody, artsy (wilson etc).
No: contest, cruel
Desire= recognize me. (couched by symbolic, in memory of imaginary-- gaps in symbolic stage "recognize me) Play: recognize me! "Who am I?"
Being 'on the edge' (of an experience? feeling? idea?) passing into it-- nothing.
The edge where it's registered, only there
The paradoxical formulation: stage as that.
DESTROY THINGS
DESTROY THINGS
edge: tension between name and reality is origin of poetry (imagery is contra-poetry (wholeness) so destroy image (in painting with light, atmosphere, etc, even pt of view)
How destroy image?
Art: produce an anguished, anxiety-ridden confrontation with the reality of the human condition (lacanian analysis, as opposed to childlike imaginary or symbolic rule-playing and role-self)
That's a leap of faith (that it's better than 'bliss)
So give audience, rather than smiles or tears, a SOBER re-integration into human society. Plays (like Genet) re-dismember to-be-human.
Staging must not turn back into ikon added to one's collection
don't give ikons (handleable. "I can't handle that. . .I don't get it. . .
Give up PLEASURE (jouassiance) which feeds ego, rather accept one's desires (unfillable, error or projection) as the BURDEN of sublimation that it is. Art vs pleasure?
Everyone 'knows', has worked up their own 'truth'. Should artist just say 'here's MY truth?" How boring, more or some more 'wrong".
Artist is one subjecting self to vissitude of not-knowing, and yet acting. Letting the real upset his applecart. A sarcrifice, scapegoat
There is no stable reference center to meaning.
Unsayable, relate to 'no play SAYS it
Failure (to conceptualize) is success
Success (inc conceptualizing) is failure
A discourse close to delerium
Man: wilderness in which spirit manifests
Colonized by language
So: don't think language can describe wilderness
It supresses it, beats it back
Searching city (the colonized) to discover wilderness?
No. Rather destroy tracts of the city
"But NO! That's destroying YOURSELF!
Only way. To see spirit re-spurt. Tragic
Each of us could go mad (if we search for
Start with gesture (impulse) of destruction?
DESTROY DESTROY
Take away lens, you get hologram
Regress (to id) in service of ego
is like going into implicit order, to bring up fluctuates,
then codified in explicate?
Rather than copying a model, return to source(id-implicate)
& don't make your OWN model
A life spent, reading
looking for theory, to free self from captivity in world of subject-object suffocation. Anything that blurs borders, that introduces the flow that obliterates-- but that flow can't be held on to (theory) or it isn't a flow-- don't coagulate into NEW theory.
So, no icon, image making; rather undercut and doubt. Be lured into incoherence and obscurity (to prevent reification of flow-id-implicate). Eary in writing, hard in staging.
icon-clarity= idiology
vs
rigor, step by step, the polarities(multiple) and contradictions.
Faith. . .in what arises.
Faith!
Artist is sacrificial offering who undergoes world. . .with great sensitivity (rather than toughening the shell, as happens in life. "Theory" and illustrative-ikon is a shell toughening)
Each line holds certain kinds of possible interactions.
Choose one that keeps in play the IGNORANCE of 'what's really going on here?'
Because ANY conclusion (I know whats going on). . .ultimately re-opens (later in life, realize yes-but).
So: always be there already (in the upseting of the conclusion)
Keep that in play. (rather coagulating into an image)
Theory; to explain things? No. Escape. Things proved not-as-you-thought. Til it too closes into prison.
But how make theory that doesn't end in death-dealing closure?
Meaning of this is. . .(Nagarana's NOT) not X, but not non-X
Chaos: gap. Hole. Be at edge
Art produces feelings, which discharge thoughts.
Its question of thoughts vs meanings
Meaning is link of two thoughts (she loves him; he doesn't love her; ie- life is hard)
But I try: thoughts that can't be encapsulated in any going system.
Except a system (like man, like uncons) that can't be grasped. Like the eye that sees through not-being seen. (Japnese)
Don't DIVE at meaning. Fly as low over it as possible without meaning gumming up the virture of being well-spoken. (Being able to go-on, without sadness and rigidity of knowing) No knowledge besides that of non-sense.
"This is a book I do not understand. I'm putting a photo of. . .between it's pages"
WRITE THE DRIFT; KEEP JUMPING TO ANOTHER TIME AND PLACE & SERIES OF OBJECTS
Hole. SPLIT exists between imaginary and symbolic. You are in one, and in other, and not in hole. But hole is in your cemter, it is you!!!!!!!
Details are all. Rehersal= discober details that reveal that truth is in non sense. In other rehersals, discover what to add that re-inforces what you 'believe'. No! Discover details that show this is partial-truth.
IF ANYTHING SAID IN A PLAY WAS TRUE, PLAY WOULD STOP
I, the truth, am speaking (KM) Behind is driver, uses you, makes you slip and slide. That driver is truth. You are possessed by truth, your presentation is 'acting', ego.
I want to do whats good for my ego, yet my ego is bad for me. So actor who serves intention makes IDOL of ego-self. Better, be out of step with ego (intention). Doesn't serve text? Serves art, as "releaser" from ego idols.
Analysis-thinking-(thinking in art?)
End is not to function well in world
but to question being in the world. (is world 'there"?)
any idea (billards on a slanted table) immediately suffocates-- the moment it get's stated, run from it rather than develope it.
Immidately NEGATE it (being at egde of experience, another idea)
de-write all your ideas, plots, images--fast! Erase them with something else, ANYTHING else.
Put a picture in between pages of book. DE-write idea
_________
Make CALCULATED slips (steal from jokes)
(Find something about which you can't tell the whole truth, that will be then, the real.
If you 'conquor and coagulate' it, it's not longer real)
Stay with real.
Coagulated KNOWLEDGE will turn against you (false hope? suicide (in coded form))?
If you start to think about things DEEPLY-- you get into trouble, discovering you who are thinking is a piece of whazt you are thinking about, and that piece is unavailable for analysis.
Start directing a play, to--
1) reveal the play 2) excite the audience 3) show your own response.
Each moment should question-- how is this to be used? What is blind and unavailable here?
Am I collapsing something vast(true) into something that imprisons, that ego-invokes closure
Everything is connected, like distant points on a spider web, so jump fa in the writing to make vibrations as you pluck.

World we know, constructed in such a way as to be able to see itself.
This by cutting self up into see and seen. But seen, is minus sees, so it eludes itself.
Mystery is why world conceives desire to see itself-- since it therein suffers (being cut)(being non-whole)
But this mystery may arise from our insistence on questioning
where there is really, nothing to question
but; so
as you know more, you again make a cut
this makes universe again expand, as we try and capture it

I am interested in a theater of impulse and sensation.
I am interested in the moment (the impulse) being disrupted by a part of the heretofore ignored world both outside and inside oneself (sensation).
In my theater, everything posited slides and twists because of the impact of being registered in consciousness-- so nothing on stage is ever really itself, and I try to notate that.
I postulate people as inevitably humiliated by a universal stupidity and childishness that makes its home in all of us. But I want to show the defiantly silly dance of human beings as they are animated by some wonderful force that orchestrates all of this silliness and stupidity into a rigorous and lucid dance of intellect.
Play isn’t about what it’s about (transcending what its about to be about the energy od delay, of hovering)
Everything given is a fall away from the real

“My problem is my brain! What’s it doing in secret? What plans is it making for me? How is it laying traps for me?”
Play - a back and forth between “this dead end (death) and a vitality that upsets the cart of identity.
Each ‘event’ is a crystal-- itself and a moment animated by FORCE-- write the force
Theater of sensations-- things available to ‘doing” )precept(
The grid on which my experience may be charted is not my experience
I want to make my play= impenetrable, because CONTRADICTORY at every moment
An impenetrable object = that narssistically loves itself = in which everything that arises = loves itself
Vibratory facticity: “thereness”
Render ‘sensation”= rhythm
To render the REAL:
each moment, my consciousness (MIND) splits.
MULTIPLE WORLDS
(each moment, wipe out, begin again, splits: spark gap. quantum jump
Each moment, mind, though it seeks pleasure, avoids pain, above that SNIFFS for “other” outside catagories it knows
(or it dies)
To render the real:
years ago, non-actors, blocked (as I was blocked) and stasis was pause to look around for a way to go on-- new object to arise, new angle of attack on object.
Then: make stage full of objects, strange ones with handles-- you can ‘go on’ with these
Mind wants to dance , but caught in habits and rules
Now; language has own internal ‘go-on ‘ mechanism. Language is ESCAPE from BEING
ESCAPE!
Render the REAL, which is lures to ESCAPE from being
(all this now a cliche)
Show: EXPERIENCE: of world as it “IS”, not a copy (because we ‘see’ world through frames that supress experience of everything going/being (wrong) ie. different from exprectation
wow-- a deeper self EXPERIENCES that (tension, knowing it’s not going right
The ‘what I’d like to see” moment. Stasis: a theater of ‘notice’ when attention is withdrawn from what’s flowing on-- attention sleeps and something else comes through in some OTHER way than attention, other than focus, see at MARGINS: What’s behind/operative at work, in secret in plain sight: you’re available: surprise
Aramatage: Deal with what’s realy “there”. Props not to use to express, but to make you deal with ‘em.)

The hardest thing: to keep discovering what you know anyway.
The man who wants to find something truly new must, above all, guard against any mthod of investigation. Later on, after finding something, he may feel an urge to define his methld of ivestigation after the fact. But that is a tactical question. . .The original process itself is characterized by absolute freedom and UNCERTAINTY, and the man moving in this way for the first time cannot have the least inkling as to the direction of his movement.

(This is what I do, but NOT how I do it!)
Seek: What process to apply to a subject:
The subject is—(Bad Boy Nietzsche, Communism)
The process is PARADOX, the flux of things
Normal analysis get to heart of subject*
Us: = find outreach(s) of subject, far reaches of web
(subject?) There is a net, that pre-exists the subject. Throw that subject against the net (the net is the real subject) Make it vibrate, by throwing at it (Nietzsche, communism etc)
attend to fringes of experience
what is it to be awake= to be living on several planes at once
JANUS FACED
Search for point where world of sense and world of psyche meet. That ‘center’ is everywhere.
Man has come into this world with no other errand than to rise out of the vanity of time. The desire to escape into timelessness
To dissolve the given
Extract directly the presence beneath and beyond the ‘given’, representation
The transcendence of all interests. In the absolutely ‘singular’ interest of something else
*Millions of things stream out of reality, but we are taught to
Ignore all that doesn’t immediately contribute to controlling the environment (art).
(How I do it—push bodies around, alter, make them do things from NON-motivated source. Music? Not denial of item #1, rather an indication of DISOLVE the given—“Oh, it’s other’—the given is just a PART, let the repressed WHOLE be there— comes from the far reaches!!! Far out on the WEB)
No atmosphere in space
What is the difference between mental work that Freud, Marx, etc
And what produces transistor, etc
Language constructs, combines different perspecives ever mofre convuluted, twist on itself to issue into-
Vs
Zaps, buffetted by ideas. Landscape re-configured
In airplane, no gravity. Light. Filigree. Bucky Fuller
Pancake people
I can’t bare to say what I desire
do a thing. Retreat
I did not do it. It still vibrates
2) it’s the god that exceeds me
in airplace. Filigree—web—computor or satalite
art pours raw material, fuel, into world
make things more complex then they are, or suffocate—thin air
only fun is complexity
To satisky a desire—which is substitue object—is to be hooked by unexpected aspects of that substitute which society has placed in it. So we are caught in expanding net, of infected by, and opposite to, what one desires
If ART teaches NOT to respond (like anakyst) but “get in touch with your feelings?”
Woman on airplane next to me—movie—involved. Some deny feelings, others –let pass thru you!
OK. The alive idea. What I need from life is continually new ways of seeing things. Putting two things together—so I need a new two things
Lacan—don’t rspond
Lady—clapping at movie
Produce tingle of seeing life ‘as it is’
Ie. Not responding
Someone not respond: cry
Because they see that’s how it is, rather than I
“I wish it were different.
That’s further why. when people want ‘feelings’ from me, I’m revolted, because feelings say—wish it different
But no—accept as it is so long as you can TOTALLY see it as it is. Felling then is WHOLE feeling. Joy&sad
Very small, things in isolation from context
Life=context
Art=2 loops, no time
Quantum theater
Ground: take things apart and assemble them
Hand-elable. Write: speaking is our prison
Explore( language can’t any longer.
Play: work on matterstories replaced by talisman, mantra
Get energu from tension.
Stories promote rules—tension not available for discovery
Man vs matter
Art wears out:
Old Staging embodies text
Now: embodinesness takes apart, EXPLORES, text
Old: text explores world
Now text is world. Explore text thru embody
OR: need new world to explore
Proble new world (…chaos? Blur) with talisman of text
Evoke that from which all things are made
Extract GOD from dark matter
I have been always “driven to understand”
Vs: make art.
The same or not?
Get out of context/or see other context (resist the present)
I am one who thinks world is bed (by definition?)
Howard Bloom, Jordan Peterson (Diversity generators needed
Extend chaos or suffocate
ISOLATE ITEM from context (phenomonology)
Tiny item: opens into a world: only MAN does this
Loops (2) create a door?
Behavior-play-ritual-myth-religion-formal, rational
Interpretation, knowledge shared
Sample bits—loops, build world-SKIM! REPEAT! (accident between)
Each thing “THING”
Holds innumerable possibilities (uses and signifigances)
Life is good is more possibilities are available
Finally each hing is each oher thing
HUNGER FOR !!!!!!!
I want wisdon
Act out this “Want” this hunger
NOT it’s satisfaction
You don’t want it satisfied, which can only be fake or death
Solution a—cash
Solution b- frustration and honor (dignified)(wider context, more abstract context)
I show people true to impulse
Or glory
Rather than effective behavior
If life isn’t working, to correct one
Looks to big picture, or to dtails taken for granted and hence invisible, this is mediated by unconscious (metaphone. Myth)
Scale is different
Hero
Makes order (by first risking chaos. Creates, finds, chaos
(order is already there. Chaos always lurks in ‘secret’ not the OBVIOUS threat
use local items to evoke the whole
table- electron? Part of solar system? Use oriented? Part of tree?
Write snippets that are the whole
And collide with ojects (local events)
Turning the whole into a now
