What follows is written without qualification. I lack familiarity with all primary texts and have barely any measure of the traits which are the precursor to the former’s proper study. I would describe my measure of traits as “Poorly observant, and poorly committed,” which I state only for the epistemic impact on these documents. B/s: Don’t explain the mode of empiricism I seek in the reader’s...
A Fool’s Race
[Editor’s Notes: Nice of me to finally put some of these thoughts into writing, but shame I didn’t care for any further development. Recommendation: Be inspired, and then start the project which here is alluded (esoteric complexity irregardless [sic])] Molecular biology and Talmudic study have long been associated in my mind. But I have never thought of anything more specific than the most...
The Third Way
Contextual auto-horizons as determining originary experience of television-serials[1] Editor’s Note: Written c.2006 1. Introduction In the 30 years since the zenith of reader-response criticism, aesthetic theory, as it appears in our venerable institutions, has become increasingly focused on its subject field’s relevance to fields outside itself. This attempt to self-validate by associating...
A Letter to a Cousin
“And you should love God with all your heart…” This is a verse written to the Israeli people by Moses, but the message I think transcends personal destinies. I wonder if the Palestinian people would listen to it. They would have to be taught its secret, which is the great human problem: how could my suffering have been for the best? How can a people love their creator when they are...
Sailors and donkeys
[1 of sea as 1 of 4II? inspired by what is taught in memshaltecha in ashrei? (nb. Contextualize the dor va dor too for this). Suggestive, but no proof. Vaguely, kol olamim involves passing through the sea, this occurs over generations, this is done via something like a keter which is hidden, and it is the will to control beyond the seen. Viz. when talking about the malchut of seas, and the...
Fixing a Broken Crown
Fixing a few fractures: BROKEN If look at any obsessive dedication, especially where prone to escapism the following is apparent (simplified): The 10III, qua ta’anug, is not seen properly, and this is due to a few overlapping expressions (ratzon l’ratzon) of that hidden agenda. One damaged 10II seems to be for 4II as an ends unto itself, rationalized (8II) by its necessity for various causes...
What is Talmud 1-1-1
Mimatai korim shema b’arvit…[I] Sof ma’ase[1]… The Mishnah was packaged to ensure the survival of key structures within the oral tradition, which although requiring great losses of wisdom, was deemed necessary for the great journey ahead. The terrible voyage had not yet hinted the breadth of its passages, nor depths, nor sense of lost horizons. The Mishnah begins with a question, but the purpose...
the world is pitch darkness and no one notices
When we saw the graves we knew ourselves ready for oblivion, whenever soon it came. We sat down and wrote our goodbye, “This”, we said, “was our favourite thing” (amongst all that we’d experienced within life) That experience. The expansion in the mind that turns the world and we sit still in the center, still. Enlightening what had been impossible to say, or think, or not think. A space that can...
Constructing a Contemplation for Confidence
Here I attempt to design instructions for contemplation which aims to induce an awareness of eligibility, allure, and direction, for a particular will. Here I use the will that says, “I shall rule,” (which are the first three words of all wills), “and my majesty shall be the prism that knows itself to be riding a ladder constructed of dreams within dreams.” First select three forms that are...
Developmental biology on one leg; or, a collaboration of memories and allegorical hand-waving
There should be no doubt in the mind of the reflective sapiens that their biological basis is the least likely and most astounding object within all that they have known or imagined. But why? I force the reader to expand this sense of astonishment by (before leaping into a strict series of educational demonstrations) illustrating some elements that comprise their unarticulated amazement. How does...
