{Part 1 – 10/04/2017} Channuka is like Pesach Channuka is the story of a defeated nation which manages to rebuild its army and rebel against its conquerors. Pesach is the story of an enslaved nation which is emancipated against all odds. Both these holidays are about freedom. On Pesach, we are meant to discuss freedom. In my own life, I have become more free by the addition of a custom...
{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...
[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...
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...
This is not an attempt at discovery or elucidation; this is an effort and representation of exegesis qua methodology, written from the perspective of one who does not know, and perhaps who will fail to know too. It is written as a dialogue between the lone traveller and the written text. “I” is the traveller, and “T” is the text. T: A woman becomes impregnated… I: Why do you tell me this now? T:...
{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...
