THE BRAIN IS THE ECLIPSE OF ITS GROUND: Bakker's Blind Brain Theory does for cognitive science what Kant did for metaphysics: the gist of it is very simple: lacking direct access to an object, a brain must rely on some kind of interpretive algorithm to infer appearances from context clues: for example, those optical illusions that trick you into perceiving the same two lines as being different lengths are actually tricking your depth perception heuristic: the brain uses what Bakker calls medial mechanisms/components to construct its perceptions, but just like Kant, the rules of the construction are not themselves part of the construction (except in an a priori mode): not because we simply lack perception of the ruleset, but because there is no perception /without/ a ruleset: the brain is what makes a man, as Heidegger calls him, the “environing” animal: its inclusion in an environment is precisely what selects for its determinate (read: heuristic) occlusion /of/ that environment: the brain must always be screening for properties relevant to the problems it is always trying to solve, and hence why, because it was made to solve problems, it is always presupposing them: no wonder then that Hegel's dialectic is a triadic, immanent process: there is first the immediate/the given, and then the very “negative space” the given must necessarily gesture towards, but also simultaneously occlude, to be given as /itself/: negativity, THOUGHT: that determination's relating back to the context-condition of its own intelligibility: “Being, pure Being-”: the mark marks the context by which it is made legible to itself as the mark that it is: in other words, the brain must rely on some kind of medial regime to functionally abbreviate its complexity, by contravening its ground it can only problematize it: instead of approaching the task of Knowledge as the task of solving some Problem, we should instead approach it with a mind to how it is the brain generates these “problem ecologies” that it does in the first place: thought as ramified MU: now a lot of this is old hat, but here's where it gets interesting: Bakker says human consciousness as we know it is an artifact of the brain's limited processing power, its inability to correlate all of its contents at once: the more we optimize processing power/intelligence, the more the heuristic utility of consciousness is superseded: Derrida: the interiority of the Thing can only be the non-essence that continuously defers the Thing's identity with itself, from itself: the thing Is, only insofar as it Is Not: again, old hat, but I'm struck by the way Derrida formulates this relationship between interiority and exteriority: as he puts it, the interior is the “deferment of the spatialization of time and the temporalization of space”: sound familiar? This is what I've been saying this whole time: CHRISTIC HUMAN INTERIORITY IS THE ANTI-MOLOCH: THE LAST AND ONLY BULWARK AGAINST TOTAL OMEGA POINT COMPLIANCE.

THERE IS ONLY LOVE OR THE DIALECTIC: “God is 1, ∞ is the devil” : only beatific simplicity or the interminable Freudian “mazings” of our own becoming, the infinitely smooth Amalthean plane of Love vs. the Malthusian/Atlantean contraction into A = A, that belches Lemuria like exhaust: Lemuria and Atlantis are two halves of one escape vector: Houellebecq's feminine/masculine systems of control each kicked into their respective overdrives, each trying to reproduce the autosexuality of Atum in themselves: man, through the self-inseminating Thought, woman, through the obsolescence of man: man, in trying to cognize his ground, is subsumed to the one medial tracker that is raised to the power of itself: metacognition: the wetiko that has weaponized our own lust for self-transparency against us: the Black Iron Prison of the prefrontal lobe: the tragedy of being human is that the body depends on the integrity of its cells, while thought depends only on the integrity of attention: how much easier it is to be eaten by what only requires SIGHT: reason has only subtlized our predators: the Spenglerian arc of culture civilization has its biological analog in seminal retention release, that is, what Zizek describes as the dilation of the sacred/Pharaonic aura into the ideological disavowal of “I know, but...” is nothing but our hedonic adaptation to the mystique of the cephale: the sacred interiority/Ba of the Pharoah splashed out into the hand-me-down interiority of the peasantry: remember, even ancient Egypt had to deal with a kind of proto-individualism after the collapse of the Old Kingdom: much like how the man who cannot keep his energies self-possessed in the glans, dilates into Lunar orbit... only daily, ritual struggle can rescue us from the hedonic treadmill of actuality, even the Egyptians knew the gods themselves grew weary of their daylight concourse, and had to be rejuvenated nightly in the Duat: thus, Ted K's doctrine of the surrogate activity: surrogate activities sublimate natural channels of energy expenditure towards those more adapted to the hegemony of the machine: but Egypt knew: the only true love of life must consider death holy: death as the Midnight Singularity, the regenerative dreamless darkness of Nun: the brain is eclipse of its ground, CHRIST IS THE ECLIPSE OF THE BRAIN: did you think the Fall was just a dunce cap in paradise? It was to have raped what you alone could have loved. Abraham was redeemed because he had the strength to re-enact the primordial sin: Abraham was able to transmute the violence-surplus of a Malthusian trap universe into beautitude: because the devil is not death but the force of life that clings to life, hence why he is the spirit of deception: but that Christ-like interiority that “stops to talk to the janitor”, that refuses to treat nature like the help, a Christianity without a messianic horizon: that is the true commitment to the earth and affirmation of the human.

The usual hermetic answer is to call down an artificial Kingdom of God (hardline Jews still just call it the Third Temple and make no bones about it's ontology) which can mirror the "infinite momentum" of temporality. Now, given that this is still only a fleeting moment, contained not within the Spirit but as a large-scale Soul fragment and supported by the many bodies cast within its great vale of "languageless bliss." The moment fleets and plurality regains the stronghold of Spirit almost instantly ("momentarily"), trapping the inhabitants in a hotspot of inaccessible entropy; Doomed for eternity. Other methods seem more reliable.

I do not, what is unmediated can only be what is unconscious. Hence, the emphasis on death and the regenerative power of death.

but I don't think it's a secret I'm trying to rehabilitate certain pagan sentiments. Me trying to communicate certain intuitions of my Greek childhood in contemporary schizo-langue.

I don't lean too hard on physicalism or any critique thereof, to me it would be like mistaking scaffolding for a ladder. The importance is in the results of material speculation, in pursuing that third stage to it's fourth conclusion, the subjecification of nature ("natural concepts" from a pluralist perspective). Objectification is crucial, meaningful, it's a wellspring of hope and ingenuity, it upholds society. And it's intrinsically meaningless, it makes a point of keeping that fact always clear and at ready disposal. Subjectification is the only way to God, and it's the greatest bulkwark of atheism for that same reason.

kek, true, but for all his erudition, Zizek still accuses of Plato of a layered, two-worlds ontology, which I think is a defunct interpretation. The Ideas aren't "up there", they're down here, as they can only be down here (which is the crucial point)

>Subjectification is the only way to God, and it's the greatest bulkwark of atheism for that same reason.

I agree, if I had to be cliche, it really is all about balance. Either way I think Bakker misses the point: yes, his (and Langan's, and even Zizek's...) intuition that consciousness is something like the "architect getting lost in his own creation", the point is still that the really wonderful and perplexing thing is that getting lost should come with these things we call qualia in the first place...

Remember the anecdote about Anscombe? Her critique of Lewis was so thorough it was assumed that she personally opposed the ideas in question. Read his work on Parmenides, he's a clever raccoon.
>"architect getting lost in his own creation"
I'm more pessimistic by inclination, or you could say, "inclined observation" Perception occurs as a mediate stage, the only immediate stage being (of course) observation, and the individual pluralities (which compose our fragmented little reflections of the naive & id-like "Platonic Good" ["the Goof"] and act as a proto-sinthome) are inoperable by the point that I receive them.

I suppose the point of these threads is we should keep energy dissipation only within narrowly defined limits, specifically the "Greek" limit: only dissipate what you have on hand, that quite literally means your fat stores, and not only that, with what you can only dissipate with your hands (and the simple tools they wield).

Ramp that dissipation into overdrive like we're doing now and we kill the human, simple as that. Turn the planet into a smart matter farm, by all means, but don't come crying when all that's left are mechologies and 10 km tall spires of cold hard black nanostuff beeping and booping away until heat death.

The quickest delineation is to say that [in Modernity] we used to used totality as a method to extend a sort of patchwork over our inability to fully "topologize" (in a Cartesian sense) Man, Nature, Society, God, etc.
Nowadays, the situation is chillingly inverted: We revert to our fully topologized spectra/simulacra of specialisations as a coping mechanism against the sheer horror of [Unconscious: "unknown known," etc] knowing that totality is a thoroughly entitled mechanism with a perceivably-infinite (Landian) frame of reference, occluding our own use of any possible "totalizing methodology." In short, we can't think totally because the world, which used to (as Eckhart put it) "see the world" through us, now sees itself through itself and has for quite some time.

You can do whatever the fuck you want, and obviously people like it, but listen to me, you are sitting on too much good material not to develop some eloquence or style that doesn’t scream (I KNOW YOU THINK I AM CRAZY BUT I DONT CARE CUZ ITS IMPORTANT TO SAY THESE THINGS). I can tell you’re excited, that’s good, but why not try to reflect the careful consideration in your writing as you have done in your studies? I dunno why but I feel like suggesting to you reading Capote, his short stuff, articles he did for magazines. What you sound like is a caricature of Philip K Dick written by Pynchon. I like what your saying, and I definitely enjoy reading what your saying, but for the love of God can you attempt to manufacture a way of saying it that doesn’t alienate me from enjoying what your saying? Thanks

It is kinda cool in how it presents cheesy generic OP power fantasy mages and wizards and shows them getting BTFO by people thinking clearly and rationally. Real power in the series is derived from precisely applied intelligence, which is kind of a refreshing take from most other fantasy series that work on the assumption that being able to cast fireballs from your hands means you must be very smart.

The actual writing isn't particularly full of literary pyrotechnics, it is adequate for what the author is attempting, however it does fall in to the trap sometimes of "everyone from the middle ages was a psychotic murdering rapist because there wasn't enough science" Reddit/GOT mindset and this is what draws much of the criticism levelled against the series.

The books were written when the author was phenomenologist/idealist and so isn't really indicative of everything the author believes now, which is a kind of Eliminative materialist position with discreet Landian influences.

Now I've always had this suspicion that heat death would revert the universe back to that free entropy state (Chaos/Nun) that preceded it and from which a new singularity would contract. Forget where I read it from.

"The Observance of Observation"
We are regulated by perceptions, physiological and cultural, while the universe as we know it is unregulated by mere perception and is the holographic extension of an "instantaneous" observation without any regulatory perception of an occasion (occluding characteristics of addiction to either thought or sensation at any one time). The speculative thing is that the Law is all that remains, and we [God] are dead in the eyes of it: Logically, we're the extension of a singularity into plurality (simple Platonic speculation about the Parmenidean whole).

Yes, "an 'instantaneous observation' without any regulatory perception of an occasion". Very well-put. Also reminded of DeLanda's reading of Deleuze, who (although he doesn't say so explicitly), the singularity was like a zygote: the differentiation of an intensive zero, where each fundamental force (like Atum's Ennead) is just a phase-transition of the one, unified force.

Every multiplicity,consequently, participates in this process: a zygote-like differentiation of intensity: the One makes ones.

>"For from thee, the unbegotten one, the begotten one came into being. The birth of the self-begotten one is through thee, giving birth to all begotten things that exists."

Out of "heat death"/Nun, where all possibilities are equalized because all energy is evenly distributed, there are metastable "dips" we call universes, and that metastability lasts so long as the "Logos" or syntax of that universe persists according to its own, internal consistency. Maybe it is consciousness that is driving the Hubble expansion? But that's an insane schizopost for another day.

Yeah, as usual you're on the money. Every time Einstein or Tesla or whoever calls everything 'energy' or 'frequency' I want to scream at them: WHICH ONE? Which one is the Hermetic word of God who ordered the world by word and then made himself a word? There is no occurrence of God, no "Big Other" that walks beside you, except in the non-total/derivative Laws of the expanded instant. I get the weird sense that the whole system of occasional occurrences is a necessary sort of anti-Hegelian, pandeist [Mainländer's speclation] dynamic pattern. Not just what we call syntax, but genuine Voice.
>Maybe it is consciousness that is driving the Hubble expansion?
While this is tantalising, my eyes are set on prodding the (not "delimited infinity, instead) unlimited operative-infinities. the infinities of perception to be found in contemplation of topology and dromology. It's what makes me love cuisine, architecture, etc. It's the physiology of space and speed which acts as a sort of (I think I've put it this way before) "instantaneous matheme" or an occurrence of perception having integrated wholly with occasion.

Specifically the gridiron finitude of (Pre-Parmenidean in the case of Langan) Being. The (Pre-Heraclitan, Lacanian) answer is more flexible, and in my most honest opinion, post-Kantian. Langan is the most metamodern Heideggerian I've ever seen, and I almost feel like calling Kant a Langanist is more clinical than otherwise. Anyways:
>while also being indistinguishable from the most random of distributions...something flipped the switch to get us to see it only one way, and it's killing me
All I can say is try to intuit a "cleaner" paradigm of anti-centrality. Centrality is a tendentious set-unto-itself, not really a linking point but more of an Aristotelian "mover," it would be unwise to base your predilections about ethics-aesthetics on those grounds. I remember alluding to the dangerous totalitarian repression of seeing the world as "a giant self-fucking."

Well, in my defense, that's how the Egyptians saw it (according to my source): Atum is onanistic, creation is onanistic, no matter how much room you give to Heraclitean Flow, it is always immanent to cyclical cosmic time. If it wasn't, it would violate Langan's reality principle (nothing can be posited outside reality without being intelligible enough to be logically circumscribed by it).

Now I totally get what you're saying, how this kind of thinking turns finitude into a flytrap, the self caught in the funhouse of infinite reflexion, but I can't see a way out that doesn't involve death.

I'll leave you with this: there are tantalizing hints of ontological completeness in even the Egyptian doctrine. Cyclicity does not have mean stagnation.

>In the absolute chaos of the infinite expanse of darkness, absence of differentiation and absolute homogeneity, a incredible energy-potential is dormant. The "abyss" of darkness contains the "pleroma" of light called "Atum". Atum, who "created what exists" and who is the "Lord of all things" (CT, utterance 306), "Lord of All" (CT, utterance 167), "Lord of Everything" and "Lord of Life" (CT, utterance 534), is "the origin of all the forces and elements of nature" (Allen, 1988, p.9). His name is a form of the verb "tm", probably a noun of action, meaning both "complete, finish" and "not be". Indeed, Atum completes creation without belonging to the created order.

See, this is the issue: If the self is ordered according the to the constitution of the uncreated domain, then how is it's dominant form of (contracted to/contained within) appearance not predominantly that same uncreation?

I honestly don't know! I know that, if we deny Strong AI .... and with the Bakker stuff, consciousness being an artifact of poor processing, etc. it stands to reason that we have to: we should expect that as processing power increases, the emergence of consciousness should be less and less likely by default... I really think machines are the next step down Gurdjieff's octave ladder, as we descend, density, determination, law can only agglutinate and there is nothing as programmed as a machine... and perhaps nothing as pure and free as plasma or a star, if we retrace our steps back up the ladder... So I diverge with Langan here, I don't think technology will necessarily maximize telic utility, on the contrary...

But again, that's my point, that indeterminacy is only viable within a certain "pagan" bandwidth, too much one way or the other and it's either Zizek's "flat stupidity of nature" reigning forever and ever, or the iPlanet we're currently creating, where everyone thinks in lockstep because time is icky and indeterminacy is bad.

But in trying to kick death out of the attic he's moved into the living room, ie, into life itself, the death-within-life, or death-as-life, a danger the Egyptians were especially attuned to: too much actuality is dessicating.

As for your question, I don't know fren, I just have to agree with Plato that there are "acts of intellection" that can't be derived from my physical substrate, because they're derived from the topological twist that subjectivity is: there are decisions, thoughts and acts that could only have been carried out if there was observer immanent to this body and immanent to its observation, as it were. Maybe that makes sense, maybe it doesn't.

Mainländer is a metaphysician who focuses on the specialisation of ontology-into-cosmology. This is his life's work. Mueller-Seyfarth may be lost in translation, but his work's meaning is tied to the "Quasi Stellar" Batz, and the little bit of him that's on reddit contains more than enough fragments to be of use.

Earlier post deleted halfway. I drew up a whole comparison to Lacan as the "Master of the Symbol" whereas UG is the "Master of the Real," but it suffices to say that UG Krishnamurti had a pathological ego disorder on par with Lacan, except: He lost his soul. He experienced an "unmediated" transfer of the Real ("[non]observance of the full perception of an occasion" in my words) in all of it's dirty totality.

Of course I am, I look around me and these private hell-dungeons these people are constructing through text, or other media, before they can construct it in VR, and all I see is a sickness of health. By that I mean, Schopenhauer's point that health is a negative is exactly right, life is emptiness and boredom is a mark of that emptiness, and so is that state from which it originated, the only thing that's really valuable is the liminal transition between both (the Zep Tepy/First Time), and I don't think it's a coincidence that the Pharaoh is deified by the horizon, not by the earth or sky, but the point at which they meet.

Yes.

Without the schizo-affect, archons are, for me, another word for Shestov's Necessity: death, disease, suffering, time, predation, spiritlessness. The ultimate, hypostasized resistance to natural processes, like a blockage in the current.

Obviously for Shestov these are natural processes, while I just characterized them as the defiance of natural processes. At the same time, they're Being on autopilot: a guy who just wants to eat, suck and fuck is in their thrall without a doubt.

There's a real tension here. Between the Necessity you affirm and the Necessity you don't and never should (which are the archontic domains). Figure it out for yourself, 'cause I sure haven't.

You're exaggerating, Bakker has accomplished something masterful in this day and age: writing about depraved sexual violence without coming off depraved himself. The guy's passion for ideas makes even the Inchoroi take a backseat to those ideas.

The issue is that the disjointed screeds on Bakker's inside-out universe were misplaced. They didn't belong in a novel. If you're going to have thicc, disjointed thoughtstreams, they might as well serve a purpose like in The Sound and the Fury or be more concise as in The Four Revelations of Cinial'jin.

He should have spent that time filling out the world or adding depth to flatter characters like Kayutas, which is something Bakker openly admitted after TUC was published. The most damning evidence is that TGO and TUC were originally going to be the same book - thicker, tighter, meatier - but his publisher convinced him to cut it in half, forcing Bakker to fill the rest out with Proyas's madness after getting assraped, which was the actual slog of slogs.

It's one of my favorite fantasy series, but it has serious mistakes. Because of those mistakes, Bakker may never be able to find a publisher for the last two books he'd planned on writing.

here's the abbreviated ELI5:

brains use rules to construct our perceptions. these rules are not parts of our perception, so we can never be sure of what rules are actually at play, behind the scenes.

because these rules are used to solve problems, that is, because they screen for one kind of data and block out the rest, the brain is always making up problems because that is its evolutionary job.

this is what hegel was talking about, we can never just perceive something as it is, it is always referring to some kind of environment/context because it is part of its environment like the brain is

because the brain is so complex, it needs this thing called an "I" to pick up the slack and kind of receive and deal with its content that it couldn't if it was just a machine "running in the dark"

so human consciousness is an effect of a biological limitation. if we get rid of this biological limitation, like through AI, then we get rid of what makes us human.

for derrida, what is inside something is always what is frustrating its identity with itself. a rock just fucking is, a human being never "just is", he is evolving because there is an awareness inside him

post 2:

either we remain still or let ourselves fall down thought's rabbit hole.

accelerationism is the enemy. or, an enemy.

because we're always "in front of" of our programming, then it's very easy to become enslaved to that programming, and what's worse, to become that program's sock puppet

we're being enslaved to the prefrontal lobe and the way it forces us to always engage, always reflexively think about the world, which makes us want to manipulate it and stand above it

the only way out is refusing to let that program assert itself.

christ is the exemplar of that: he affirms human interiority as human interiority, not as a step to the Next Big Thing, by his love humanity is saved from becoming just another video on God's trending tab, here today, gone tomorrow

if you want to pursue the Moloch God-AI, then be my guest, it'll just kill everything we know and love (like we're seeing now)

the rest is fairly straightforward. and if you want a recommendation, pic related

On the contrary, I read a theory that Kellhus engineered the whole thing so he can set up an Oasis in the Outside and wage war on the Hundred themselves

Alien Topology

"Diachronous strata" of human culture are best considered as such: geological morphemes, specifically [currently] as allomorphs of the 1950s hyperstasis and the 1980s hypertrophy.
Interment and Internment are reversed: Life is a Pythagorean trap of megalothallic proportions, while death is the "freedom of the grave" as Solonian happiness.
Allocation in bifurcated method is more like sadomasochism than any other dichotomy: consequently (but not ultimately), the narrativisation of the "glutted subject" becomes [retrocausally] perverse and must be gastro-castrated into some form of trilate.

Devious Continence

General reclusion is symptomaptic of social OS-certification: We're a machine's amachinate impulses realised as continuael moments of self-awareness and interactivity which inversely compose an agency as non-machinery; We're the outcasts.
The neo-narrative [neronarrative] of metacognition in the postmodern age was the exaggeration of "health" and "constitution" as epistemological constructs, separate from even the hindmost of ontology. Hyper-hybridisation is too recursive to break n-gravity.
Realising the the release of the entire "egocentricity mechanism" from any epistemological grounding unleashed catastrophe on the modern mind, making the postmodern "overgrounding of episteme" a natural [perfunctory] defunction of capability.

Before I inevitably die from an amphetamine overdose, I bestow upon you the dubious honor of schizoposter II. My shitposting daimon will be in contact shortly.

Cheekiness aside, your post makes a great deal of dream-sense, because I can't quite comprehend all of it.

Here's some dank shit I think you'll like:

>The Egyptian is interested in the first stir of creation, for according to his view on temporality, the beginning is the crucial moment. As time is inherently degenerative, namely running away from the source of energy towards its own depletion, the "Golden Age" of genesis is the pivotal concept here. Only by returning to the "zep tepi" is it possible to completely regenerate.


>The First Occurrence is never "over". It happens as long as Atum leads the deities. When this ends, creation flashes into oblivion. Neither is creation "closed". The natural depletion of the cosmos can be curtailed by accessing the eternal pool of energy of the initial conditions of the universe, envisaged as an eternal moment of divine plenitude, differentiation and celebration outside the universe. This divine totality is symmetrical (the Ennead) but contains a symmetry-break (Seth). Although outside creation, it is accessible and its power can be tapped and harvested. Creation is rejuvenated by this energy, called into being by divine differentiation.

an extropic Outside is waiting in the wings as the clock of being winds down? time is nothing but the movement of our alienation from the Source? hmmmmmmmm......

Hold on, big boy. You're just always hungry for the next bite, eh?

Ahistoricising Delirium (And Anti-Delusion)

Lithium batteries as Q-tips, pencil erasers, and pieces cylindrical stick-gum are possible examples of unfunctory Genius; Neither children nor animals are safe from the Real-Mereological nihilism of "fate as the entropic reversal of thermodynamism."
Deontotrinitarian "squelching of interpassive communification" is the most monastic form of [post-Christian] evangelism, escaping the evental circumferences of all it's explosive [expansive] "cartesian conperimeters" unto spatiotemporality.
Hypersensitivity manifests as the delineation between motif and lietmotif in the simplest way: method of action as narrativist and intrinsic versus ontic action as instrumentalist and extrinsic [autistic, as you astutely cornered me to note].

Those two excerpts are really quite special. Egyptian metaphysics is always so... round.
>time is nothing but the movement of our alienation from the Source?
I would lean more on Whitehead here and insist on the cicrumlogist aspects to this "Source," as it is so well known to us. I even double-step him a league down the path by turning his d-wheel bifurcation into a quaternary [and physiopropelled] geopsyche.

But never quite closed as the Malthusians/archons would want it. Perhaps predation in nature is already a sign the war in heaven was lost? Being that-which-is, but wracked by an ineffable hunger for what is-not, and forever closed to it, being resigns itself to eating itself (t. Evola).

That was the last volley, so I'd recline and explain:
I see dromology as escaping the perfunctory [background radiation] circuits of life in the specific way you established a while back: life-as-death (Kantian I-judgement, etc) and the undeadness of virtualisation. Not good; "Undead Nietzsche" doesn't quite cover it.
>Deontotrinitarian "squelching of interpassive communification"
Have you ever met a Jesuit? They're fiercely autistic, some of them: Father Garrpe is like a proto-postmodern "subjectification with NEET-like characteristics."
>escaping the evental circumferences of all it's explosive [expansive] "cartesian conperimeters" unto spatiotemporality.
I feel like this is self-explanatory, maybe I'm erring into "too much iris" territory: Badiou describes his political exteriority as inevitable in the Maoist sense: subjects must abandon all "Western" or "Eastern" dialectics in order to integrate a full-causal mechanism of non-dialectical/naive monist revolution or "full-body-politic [E-]motion." It's autism as a political-economic analysis, a reductivist form of Maoism that is not at all incomparable to the turn Posadas makes from Trotskyism. "Leftism" has so many branches laden with that Platonic-Recursive fruit, it just fits in so sweetly as the "monoceros" of totalitarian ontologies.

Thing of it like a surgical procedure under duress and you start to get more of that inkling of Mainänder's subtle cosmology (pardon the incoming wall):
>We have only provisionally assigned Will and Mind to the essence of God and comprehended the deed of God, as if it was a motivated act of volition, in order to gain a regulative principle for the mere judgement of the deed. On this path also, we have reached the goal, and the speculative reason may be satisfied.
>We may nevertheless not leave our peculiar standpoint between immanent and transcendent domain (we are hanging on the small thread of existence above the bottomless pit, which separates both domains) in order to re-enter the solid world, the safe ground of experience, before having loudly declared one more time, that the being of God was neither a connection of Will and Mind, like that of humans, nor an intertwinement of Will and Mind. The true origin of the world can therefore never be fathomed by a human mind. The only thing which we can and may do – a right which we have made use of – is to make the divine act accessible for us by analogy, but while always keeping the fact in mind, that
>now we see through a glass darkly (1. Corinthians 13)
>and that we are dissecting according to our apprehension an act, which, as unitary act of a basic unity, can never be comprehended by the human mind.
>The result of does nevertheless satisfy. Let us meanwhile not forget, that we could be equally satisfied, if it were barred to us, to darkly mirror the divine deed; for the transcendent domain has vanished without trace in our world, in which only individual wills exist and beside or behind which nothing else exists, just like how before the world only the basic unity existed. And this world is so rich, answers, if fairly questioned, so distinctly and clearly, that every considerate thinker lightheartedly turns away from the “shoreless ocean” and joyfully dedicates his whole mental power to the divine act, the book of nature, which lies at every moment open before him.

Oh if I were a Jungian, the sense of synchronicity would certainly be unnerving; then again, it's only so inevitable (smaller, opposite excerpt--Caraco):
>The cities in which we live in are schools of death, because they are dishuman. Each one of them has become a den of noise and of stench, for each of one has became a chaos of buildings, in which we ammass ourselves in millions, losing our life’s reasons. Unfortunates without escape, we feel to have put ourselves, willing or not, in the labyrinth of the absurd, from which we will leave only when we will die, for our destiny is to continue to multiply ourselves, only to die in great numbers. At every turn of the wheel, the cities in which we live in advance slowly one against the other, desiring only to confuse with each other: it’s a run towards the absolute chaos, in the noise and in the stench. At every turn of the wheel the price of the grounds go up, and in the labyrinth which devours the free space the revenue of the investiments builds up, day after day, hundreds of walls. It’s necessary that money give revenues and that the cities in which we live in advance, so it’s right that the houses double their height at every generation, even if the water is missing half of the days. The builders only desire to escape the destiny that they prepare for us, moving towards the countryside.
