The Definition is not God . . machine time. Dream time. . . . by Audra Skuodas Image: T Words Memory exceeds the capacity of the human mind. If life is life there is no death for it is the other side. As above -- so below As the real -- so the unreal As the waking -- so the dream As the mind -- so the essence the mystery the completeness the energy the unfathomable but realizable The emotion the link the Spirit the link Only the form of what is forgotten survives A disfigurement and depletion of the essence the body the physical witness of the event of life's life the earth witness to man's greed and brutality A victim of ourselves -- ourselves the victim The truth no grasped -- suppressed the gathering of refutable facts in the face of unrefutable reality the mounting. mountains of tragic residue covering up the effect forgetting the cause lacking the capacity for interiority of relation the whole fragmented shattered into particles.
The Definition is not God . . machine time. Dream time. . . . by Audra Skuodas Image: In our culture the unfolding Spirit is bombarde in the war zone of obliterating fragments. The brain is a hologram. As truths are the fictions of the rational mind so fictions are the truths of the imaginal, archetypal and immutable. 1

This dope we call our high standard of living, a violent and complex stimulation of the senses which make them progressively less sensitive and thus in need of yet more violent stimulation. 2

The Definition is not God . . machine time. Dream time. . . . by Audra Skuodas Image: Knowledge without is Love is lifeless. . . Closing the arteries of vulnerability and true compassion is equivalent to arteriosclerosis of the Spirit. . . As the Sight of the sun helps the plant to grow so the divine spirit helps the should towards its perfection. The heart sleeps until is is wakened to life by a blow. Alchemy is the sister of prophecy. Truth is always in poetic form. 6

Somewhat we feel that through a rose the language of love reaches our hearts. 7
The Definition is not God . . machine time. Dream time. . . . by Audra Skuodas Image: The transvaluation of values of which Neitzsche speaks has not taken place, except precisely in the opposite sense -- not beyond, but this side of good and evil, not beyond but this side of true or false, beautiful and ugly, etc. A transvaluation folding in upon itself towards a non-differentiation, a non-distinction of values, itself fetishised in an aesthetics of plurality of different, etc. Not any longer a fetishization of divinities, great ideas or grand narratives, but of minimal differences and particles. It is this respect that fetishism has become radical; it has become minimal and molecular; it is no longer the fetishism of a form, but of mere formula -- subliminal, subhuman. The boundaries of the human and the inhuman are indeed blurring, yet ever are doing so in a movement not towards the super human but towards the subhuman, towards a disappearance of the very symbolic characteristics of the species. . . Transfiguration of the subhuman. Jean Baudrillard "Illusion of the End"
