>must act to heal and edify.
It's inevitable though isn't it? We're not Buddhas, our presence doesn't purify the world.
Maybe you're right. Inhuman, or simply disillusioned, I don't know, a variety of factors could lead to wanting out. It's interesting that you say love itself is the archon, I understand what you mean, but there is also a gnostic love in the dodecad. It all seems murky. I can't imagine escaping would require abandoning all love but maybe that's my wishful thinking. Because the luminous attractor made out of pure love being in fact your own love of the things of the world projected back to you, rather than some cartoony archontic machine, makes too much sense.
>the academic's penchant
They tend to aestheticize these things. I love Lacarrière precisely because he has the opposite attitude to this nonchalant "heh, they used to believe in some silly stuff didn't they?" smugness. I don't know if he believes, but at least he's truly engaging with it.
>algorithmics of connection
Makes me think that in a database of being, the only thing that would have you be automatically rejected would be to be connected to nothing at all. If you can't be described in relation to something that is anchored to this demiurgic spreadsheet, you're useless.
We can reflect, but even this reflection is tainted, I find. It's not "metareflective" enough to afford us any kind of truly clear vision. We can only intellectualize our predicament, but with the same level of helplessness as the chickens in battery cages.
>asubha
Basically, to see the world as what it truly is. No filters placed upon perception. You talk about a vision in three dimensions, but the way you bring up meditation on decay makes me think of the opposite, something like a dimensionless vision, something utterly decontextualized, where only the movement of the kenomatic maelström remains, and all of the illusory forms it takes are not even registered.
But perhaps we're talking about different things.
>I don't believe that normies are all secretly unhappy
No, but they can definitely intellectually acknowledge the flaw in this reasoning. They know that their enjoyment of the world is provisional, but they make the choice of throwing themselves into it nonetheless, as per pic related.
>placid sea of indifference
If that were the case, why would the mechanics of the world be so hell-bent on disintegrating everything?

You parrot the simulacrum of Satan. Why do you hate good things? Don’t you see that what animates you also animates drag queen kindergarten story hour?
