{Part 1 – 14/05/2017} I wonder at the sequence of the holidays overlaying the parashiot, moving from Shemot to Purim to Pesach to Vayikra to the omer and Behar, approaching Shavuot, having past the point of 33 (lamed gimmel which burn like a fire). How does one enter a spiral gate? Every time you went through it, you would follow a circular path needing to enter it again. At each half-way...
{Part 1 – 09/01/2017} How do we move ourselves forward in time? The Haftorah echoes David preparing for death (as does Yaakov in the parashah), instructing his son (and Yaakov does this in the blessing, and in the meaning of Vayechi Yaakov). There are many difficulties. We are drowned by our own suffering (Zohar Vayechi 216), and we are hidden by our flaws (Dvarim 31.18). This is a terrible...
B/S: W/u about letter ayin, connecting Yaakov’s ladder, and Absolute truth/law vs absolute beauty; the idea for samech sofit within reish. which implies the waning of the moon and thus explains how the Mishkan can be built from within Malchut, and thus links to the rope of Kadosh which links to Korach’s judgment which links to the red cow but also, in general, the two goats of Yom...
{Part 1 – 25/10/2016} Schema: Form of high Will for sake of Name Intend to read by this manner Intend to read by the manner of #1 and the result of #2 Intend to realize the balance between kindness and severity of result of #3, whilst reading in the manner of #1, with the result of #2 Intend to realize the balance between Left and Right L2, i.e. between those things that are...
{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...
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...
