I have a good idea. Let's talk about the geopolitics in the wake of rampant corporatization of our nations (..of our Body…)

My personal contention is that science-economic-ecological modes of information exchange will normalize socio-economic dangers of decentralized, capital driven global policy: to wit, knowledge has always been the undiscovered country and it is just such a pseudo-commodity that will make consciousness the driving force of geopolitics in the not too distant future: in such manner, the good evil dialectic which has customarily kept the people believing in the point of sale cathedral will be replaced by its antecedent, namely dream and reality, an erotic logos ontos chaos agape creatrix for which the imagination of the global citizen is most luxuriously endowed.

Hermetic interpretation of reality and its symbols assumes it seems or predicates a certain antifoundationalism to the mosaic tradition and to this end might we then finally be able to resurrect the imagination as the home of body if not as well spirit; one soul-spirit-body.

The imagination, then, is a belief in body, or A=B=C. Thereby antifoundational justification is a non sequitur but not a stop to logic, perhaps only the logic of authoritarian idolatry as founded upon the supremacy of one image or word as supreme to another.

From this we might infer that the universe is Human and every part thereof, or that all is dream is the same as all is reality and every part thereof.

Sanity, according to Harold Percival (Thought and Destiny) is the degree of willingness to have justice done to you.

Now if you think you are insane, THAT is insane

Thinking one is insane is a mode of avoidance, an ego defence.

Schizos do it all the time. I should know. For the Schizo is the Mask of the polyamorous eternal Child, at play in the luminous fields of eternity.

stargazer-jade:  Insane: Exhibiting unsoundness or disorder of mind; not sane; mad; deranged in mind; delirious; distracted.

eternumpace: that works. let's make the definition (def) even more operational by saying that it is related to responsibility.

And still yet another def of sanity might be the ability or willingness to be responsible for everything and in control of nothing.

And yet in this regard no formal system of ethical governance is really all that advanced ie xianity, psychiatry, mosaic traditions such as the 10 commandments.

Hence our quagmire as pagans, xians, humans, animals, vegetables, minerals or elements etc.

The greatest, (hermetical), cultures lived in what today would be called a "dream world" and yet it is just such archaic modes of consciousness that are modern stalwarts of the miraculous, the magical. Angels and Monsters alike guard the inner sanctum of natures mind-priests, US.

Myth and Ritual

Do you believe that longstanding traditions are the same as perennial wisdom? Then you are a conservative. Do you believe that humanity's actions and hence traditions are spontaneous acts of creativity subject to cultural reformation, that we can alter both the future and the past? Then you are a liberal. And yet both, in process, are doing the same thing - taking a position within a field of infinite possibilities and connections because actuality and probability and the entire unknown are pre-linguistic acts of sheer being, of God let's say.

I’ll leave you with this quote, from Conscious Culture™:The Heart of Psychedelics,

A text entitled Knowledge, Evolution, and Paradox: The Ontology of Language upon which, Frederick Turner, Founders Professor of Arts and Humanities at the University of Texas comments:

“It is already clear that postmodernism [whatever that is] is an unsatisfactory view of the world the skepticism, antifoundationalism, and distrust of any form of narrative or argument that has characterized this last phase of modernism cannot long resist its own corrosive critique. What view of the world will succeed postmodernism? To answer this question, it is necessary to take up several challenges abandoned along the way as metaphysical, insoluble in terms of the contemporary science, pr politically formidable: the problem of how different disciplinary worlds can belong to the same world, the problem of the apparent incomensurability of different language-games, the problem of the nature of time the problem of how mind and consciousness can be embodied in the physical brain, the problem of origins and evolution, and above all, the problem of time.

Koen DePrych's book, in a remarkable synthesis*(my emphasis) lays the groundwork for an answer. Using new concepts derived form the study of iterative, chaotic and probabilistic processes in nature and in the computer, he develops a way of looking at both the sciences and the humanities that fully meets the concerns of the mainstream of modern philosophy, while opening up whole new areas of research. This book joins a handful of important and daring new works that have recently broken with the current conventional wisdom of the humanities, ane that chart the altered shape of the academy as it will exist in the twenty-first century".

Well you know no matter how glorious the perspective no matter how much the mediation it can only ever be one point of view in a million.

Ant not necessarily wrong compared to any other, in fact, not wrong at all nor can it be, hence this quarrelsome paradox.

 That any vision is but the form of a shaping energy that inhabits the realm of spirit, whose body transubstantiates any and all "logic" into the light of an ever evolving intelligence that both is and is not us by “Our” own initiative or intention.

Hence, we are ever at play in the fields of eternity

Sometimes I think if we could know what a man is in the cosmic scheme of things we would then know an awful lot.

Cultural history is full of examples of how agency is much more psychically difficult than communion and yet agency is precisely the process that has come to "define" the free individual in our technocratic culture. This a bit of a delusion me thinks.

Part of the problem, or the solution, to me, is our literacy of consciousness and in this regard, further, our sense of what if anything is without and what if anything is within, the cultural Mask or hieroglyphic rule of play that is the archetypal Body that gives us any and all purview of the mesocosm of self, family and society.

Or as Jesus of Nazareth (what was, ironically, a cemetery township) said, "you will enter the kingdom of heaven as a child". And as William Wordsworth says “Child is father of the man…”

Till we meet again, planetary dreams. Have fun :-)
