{Part 1 – 14/03/2017} There is a universal dialectical tension between any directed endeavour – whether the navigation of techno-sociological progression by modern nation-states (nb. truthfully, these compasses are biased towards “economic progression”), or a religious roadmap, the archetype of which is the Torah and Oral Law. Freedom vs Restriction Both self-annihilate on...
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...
Shimini and Pesach or; Freedom and Matzah Pesach is the holiday of freedom Freedom is constructed (cf. Mishkan) Pei–samech–chet: The understanding (like the genetic code in an embryo) which brings about a paradigm (like a city wall) of construction (like a rope). Mem-tzaddik-hei: Bringing out potential (like a river into an ocean) for getting to a further goal (like bread from...
I was thinking of the title An Epistemology for Madness, because a radical, critical sophism was advised as the de facto horizon once a phenomenology presumed the synthetic apriori premise, “This mind does not distinguish between the intersubjective and not-intersubjective in appearance”. That premise advises learning to recognize the variety[1] of experiential frames which can… bla, bla. Drugs...
{Part 1 – 20/03/2017} Shema Yisrael It is the year 5777. There have been 3329 years since Exodus, 525 years since the Spanish expulsion, 79 years since Kristallnacht. 69 years since Independence, 50 years since the unification of Jerusalem. To know oneself as Jew means knowing oneself as a witness to history. The words of Shema Yisrael were the words spoken at every morning and evening...
{Part 1 – 15/02/2017} This is a pilot-trial to discuss avatar vectors, letter exemplification (and otiyot based synthetic apriori etymology), and an ethos [a doubt-plagued strategy] “Vayishma Yitro kohen midyan…” Vayishma contains the letters “shema” of shema yisrael‘. Letters inform their words, and words inform each other. Shema plus yud is like Shiloh...
{Part 1 – 26/10/2016} There are 22 Hebrew letters, plus 5 final variants. They are given numerical values. I don’t know if this is commonly thought by those who are better studied. This isn’t a proof, it’s a thought trail, followed by some demonstrations. Why are there only 4 letters in the 100’s order? There are 10 sefirot, but how would they fit? First thought: The...
{Part 1 – 3/3/2017} B/S: Teruma/Mishkan in terms of Societies made of self-defining individuals who combine into a greater-ly unified character, and yet their collective is a decentralized harmony by way of integrating purposes (without contradiction) Another telling of Creation A mapping of human “unfolding” (cf. creation) onto the metaphysical unfolding (aka creation) Half...
{Part 1 – 26/03/2017} “The Degel Machaneh Ephraim, one of the earliest books that disseminated the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov, connects this to the second Mishna in the 6th chapter of Tractate Avot: “Each and every day, a divine voice calls out from Mt. Moriah saying, ‘Woe to the people because their actions are an affront to the Torah!'” This divine voice is our...
{Part 1 – 7/3/2017} Plan: Some ways of seeing Haazinu Segue into phenomenological vectorized matrix metaphor for Torah Segue into Moshe Midrash re negotiation after golden caf Segue into “ve’atah” analytic inverse of Moshe Segue into “tezaveh” Via linking Teruma “vayikchu” side-track otiyot to add depth to “tetzaveh” by...
