“Is this to be an empthy test?”

penthesileia

Exekias' painting

During 6th century B.C. Achilles killed the beautiful daughter of Ares, Penthesileia. Her death was mourned by the people.

As she fell dying in his arms, Achilles fell in love with her.

Exekias captured the moment for all posterity with his black figure  amphora painting.

Jesus three days prior to Christ

Six centuries later, the same spear mortally wounded Jesus, and thus began the transforming love of the ages…

Parsifal's failure to empathize

Twelve centuries later, Parsifal failed to empathize with the king’s wound inflicted by the very dagger…

And… in the twentieth century, the same blade ran through our collective unconscious, and its wound captured for all posterity by Ridley Scott…  The eye, the owl, and the pyramid

On the eve of launching EyeBusterNews, I cannot help but feel bewildered and in awe as I type this blog post, I feel profoundly attracted to the creed of the Illuminati…  An  embracing warmth beckons me…  Noble knights and guardians of eternal balance, carriers of legacy…

Two Towers

Twin Towers

It’s a subtle feeling

To fall in love with your enemy…

It’s even more riveting

To know that all along you were one of them.

The bewitching trance of the eye…

The revelation…

The seduction of the All-Seeing Eye,

And the clarity of its beautiful logic,

Transcendent,

Riveting,

Irrevocable…

Isn’t the penultimate desire of life…

To see?

Moloch resides within the Pyramid,

The drama of mortal coil unfolds…

It’s the storyteller who carries the thread of the ages

And weaves the fabric of our illusion,

Won’t you join me?

All Things Reconsidered

Quantum projections of your holographic syntax,

Rhythms of the world,
Finding the current,
Play the delusion
When…

When…

Haunted by the idea

That somehow…

You’re sitting here
Perched upside down,
On a planet,
In a galaxy,
In a Multiverse,

Written by you.

Embrace the probability
Of the improbable…

All moments into one,
Eternity folded unto itself,
8 layers deep.

The entire paradigm
…about love.

You are a sparkling prayer…

Aargh!

Okay okay, so okay…  I mean how dense!

How does one penetrate an obtuse obstinate and oblivious “obo” with a fresh breath of the obvious if she is so obnoxiously obfuscated in her observations…  Ewwww!

Susan Jacoby obviates transcendence with her immanent profundity and expertise and wisdom.  She writes:

“Atheists deny the possibility of “transcendent” experience. They can’t see beyond the material world. This stereotype is partially true, but it all depends on what you mean by transcendent. If the concept is understood, as it is by many religious believers, as an experience that goes beyond and defies the usual limits of nature [Whoa!! "USUAL" limits of nature?!!!  Um, where do you get off on that bit of garnish?  Won't you please define each of those pretty little words you just used, I'd like to know... -IAT] –including time, space, and the flesh-and-blood essence of human beings, then atheists do not accept the transcendent. But if the word is understood as something that pushes us beyond our everyday experience–that enables us to scale previously unknown heights of love, creativity, or wonder at what other members of our species have created, how could any man or woman of reason deny the possibility? We simply believe that such experience lie within, not outside of, nature.”  Etc…

Gadgets…

A friend sent me this video…

The never-ending stream of gadgets that give us hope…and assure us that technology will set us free and will help us become more connected with ourselves…

This invention is of course quite remarkable in crossing boundaries, but…

…I’m reminded of Icarus and Daedalus and their flight…

The cleverest of devices end to naught

When mired in a world with ignorance fraught
