let me imagine a start. i'm good at that. the imagining started
somewhere. imagining images became a way of life. like wanting to
cross an abyss. yes i know, a bridge. someone would have to be on the
other side already. so who is that someone.
we need structure. you won't understand if there's no structure. of
course. but still, we need someone on the other side. someone has to
throw us a line
its easy once you've started -- we'll build the bridges if you throw
us a line (you see its quite like drawing)
some cross others imagine a bridge across
some cross and imagine a bridge across so your kin can follow
so is there someone on the other side or not. i think not. i think
the abyss is the difference between being and wishing. and its about
imaging the other. side. imagining i mean. well i think someone could
be. if someone could tell me what being is i could define being. but
i can't define the other. or the other side. the other's size. or any
other property. i can imagine the other's size. i can imagine every
property. i can image anything.
so we started off with an image but the image isn't quite right. we
started with the bridge. and a bridge crosses something. so what
meaningful something would that bridge cross. it would cross an
abyss. it would neatly cross an abyss neatly incorporating other
images in the image. images that other people understand. that even i
understand somewhat.
so when you start off with an image you have a ready made image.
there is something in the image that people already understand. you
don't start from scratch. you can't imagine what starting from
scratch would be.
so now we've started
