I have to stop raking over my past. For the most part I hate my past. I can't face it except for some brief illuminations. Some I can't fake it it to accept my brilliant illuminations. Some of my theory is nonsense, undeveloped, perhaps this and perhaps not. Disorders of the Real is great. These are earlier. I feel I was stumbling, wasn't I. Mark theory has some dulled points to it. Remember Alexander Marshack? He worked right or wrong through bone and rock incisions. He found enumerations and language. / / is two marks perhaps, one a single mark doubled, or a separate character by itself, or random incisions, or even a delineation of space [ ] or */ /* between them. And then Or a delineation of space ] [ or /* */ beyond them. the world goes silent. Reading Dogen's Shobogenzo. "The entire universe manifests itself in the roots, trunk, branches, and leaves of a tall bamboo." "Even a master's staff and _shippei_ [small staff used by Zen priests] contains eternity." (Gabyo) of course we know that, it's in Blake and just common sense. Blake and senseless. But the thought of contemporary physics, think of the space before of you, and what particles seethe there, the same as seething billions of lightyears away in any direction. There's air of course, molecules, tatters of organic matter, an enormous dusts, microbes, plastics, particulates, carbons, metallics, a vocabulary invisible for the most part. Then think of a similar space elsewhere in an anywhere. (I'm ignoring the debris of stars, planets, intergalactic space, dark matter, whatever other coagulations or whatever might be out there, ignoring everything, even empty space, ignoring this writing on the writing of marks, which - once the provenance is lost - becomes - what? - nothing at all, just an instance, not even of human or organic behavior, just an instance.) All the instances of marks are nothing or anything that whatever makes of them. And that is true of everything including the space we are. And that space we are in, space we live on, space we live beneath, space returns to the failed attempt, all that neural processing resulting in one or another neural processing signaling signaling neural processing signaling failure. A new paragraph would begin with And it's comforting for me that, perhaps as a Dogen's gift, I know that what I hold in my hand is as much a universe with its particles and fields caress in my hand is as much universe / universals / universes its / their and deep invisiblities and appearances and disappearances as anything else, whatever an anything can be, perhaps even in and out of wormholes, perhaps not, as anywhere or anywhen, that it among wormholes blackholes multiverses others of our others partakes of that, and I think moreover that the "it" and has never been an "it" and that perhaps none of this has ever been an everything at all. +++ +++ +++ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
