#1. Creation and Time

Constant flux: to hold the future within the present is to master time. Dancing’s tricky; at first I try to place everything in its proper place, constant observation, too much deliberation. Then I feel the rhythm, dancing in time. The mistake is to confound time with space; the series of acts cannot be identified with the underlying duration. Feeling is a process, but how is one to tell if one is really in it, or simply replacing it with a series of lifeless states? To avoid it is a straying away from ourselves. We simply stand before our own shadow.

Creativity is a bringing into life. There is a time for expression and for accumulation; to synthesize is where I tow the line. I possess an inexhaustable will to life. I live to make others come alive.

#1. Apophenia

There are certain moments where every seemingly disjointed experience in our lives seems to converge on a singular point by providence, in the absence of any causal coordination. There is no such thing as an accident; only acausal concurrence in time. It cannot be forcefully sought; it gradually unfolds and reveals itself by experiences throughout the course of our lives. It begins with a reflection; certain pieces of media, a passerby’s conversation, graffiti on the walls that seem to speak specifically to your own internal state and situation—as if a story were pre-planned, in the process of being written, co-authored by I, the character within. The experience is not just localized to myself; I am but one champion within a collective archetype at the current time. The entrance to the rhizome is art. A sudden glimpse at the κάτοπτρον; the symbols on the canvas coalesce into a magnificent, whole painting.

All who travel are connected by a chain. When the center holds and expands, each of us encounters another, further up. It is our responsibility to place another upon our position on the chain in turn. There are many paths, false alephs, but only one leads to Zadith, & the lapis exilis.

#4. Center Study

The ineffable cannot be told, for it does not hold; though one way it can be hinted at is in the imperfection of language; the trickster is always just around the corner of a perfect semiotic exchange. The Vitruvian engenders him and moves towards the center.

#3. Center Study

An infinite sphere, whose center is everywhere and circumference is nowhere. A mustard seed sown in a garden. It is like birds flying towards a point in the sky; undirected, though never colliding, but always as if interlaced within a net, where they kiss then separate; over and over again, ad infinitum. Similarly, the medium through which each bird is placed into its netting to be counted, gradations of color appear, it gives form to a melody; this is space and time. When we become especially closely connected to another, we do not exist as completely separate beings; we interpenetrate each other. We exist in the same space together, and this cannot be done without each creating a division, parting a sea, to allow the other space to flow through.

#1-2. Center Study: To see the world in a reflective glass... or a fish, perhaps.

The point that contains a multiplicity of itself is the center within my body, that which is my essence; the “I am” that arises in relation to it, and not otherwise. An aggregate of spheres, interwoven together in a plenum. They both observe and rearrange each other within and without; a mirror, reciprocal to my own tensions and l directed streams of energy; communication is an extension of the nervous system. Though this alone does not explain a perception; this is found in the aleph.

Part of human existence is being in a river of constant flux; santana. What separates the streams is our awareness of the direction of flow and boundaries between each current. Consciousness and perception are inseparable; binded by memory, calibrated with attention. Attention limits and differentiates the degrees of our fields of perception.

The body expresses the universe as the bridges between each of our unique one pointed perspectives, by language and matter, just as the soul is a reflection of the universe through representing the body. Through eros, we grasp the noumenal.
