>I suppose the answer to this, though it may be unsatisfying, is the good old Christian bedrock of Faith.
Yeah. I *know* that I'm being paranoid. That I *do* know. Even in an age of hyperstition (which is only to say, a form of seduction). It's time for an analytic turn, in a sense, for me. I am anti-identitarian and pro-mimetic, which in the end points towards Big Inclusiveness. The bigger, and deeper, and *more coherent,* the better.

With Acceleration/Nick Land I have basically seen all of the capitalist ultraviolence I am interested in looking for. I am entirely convinced in that regard. Metaphysics > politics.

So what gets one out, or over, paranoia and suspicion? Not more paranoia and suspicion. And most definitely not when it is Ernst Junger in uniform sneaking a piece of bread to a prisoner.

Here's another passage from TPF that got me:

>The superabundance of the world lies before us. Every authentic spiritual guidance is related to this truth - it knows how to bring man to the point where he recognizes the reality. This is most evident where the teaching and the example are united: when the conquerer of fear enters the kingdom of death, as we see Christ, the highest benefactor, doing. With its death, the grain of wheat brought forth not a thousand fruits, but fruits without number. The superabundance of the world was touched, which every generative act is related to as a symbol of time, and of time's defeat. In its train followed not only the martyrs, who were stronger than the stoics, stronger than the caesars, stronger than the hundred thousand spectators surrounding them in the arena - there also followed the innumerable others who died with their faith intact.

>To this day this is a far more compelling force than it at first seems. Even when cathedrals crumble, a patrimony of knowledge remains that undermines the palaces of the oppressors like cannibals. Already on those grounds we may be sure that the pure use of force, exercised in the old manner, cannot prevail in the long term. With this blood, substance was infused into history, and it is with good reason that we still number our years from this epochal turning point. The full fertility of theogony reigns here, the mythical generative power. The sacrifice is replayed on countless altars.

Acceleration says, we will literally be crushed by superabundance for lack of altars. Even if I have problems with Faith I find it hard to disagree with anything that Junger, Girard, Heidegger or de Maistre says. To name only a few. An eclectic bunch no doubt. But.

It's perhaps time I had an analytic turn now anyways, I think.

>A willingness to admit we don't know, and yet we do know.
Yeah.

>A knowing beyond knowing, a willingness to not know but to trust regardless.
Yeah.

Will read this and look into Newman. Thanks, anon.
