Eternal Return

I think the eternal return is comparable to when you have a wisp or grasp of an idea or a sentence and it flies away from you and you know if it has any importance or resilience, it will come back, perhaps in a more distilled or complete form. It takes a certain amount of faith, and to fear losing the grasp of concepts sometimes invokes anxiety. But the mere fact that robust concepts are structured to be remembered tells me that we live in a world that operates as gyre, a magical sorting hat. Our agency is delusional, yet when coincidences, synchronicities, and signs surface unexpectedly, my faith in the path (Way) redoubles.

Genius is combinations in communication

Notes on the Third Section of Alenka Zupancic's "The Shortest Shadow"

P.126: 

"God is this radical negativity."

P.127:

"To will nothingness" and "to will something" becomes a hinge such that the structure collapses in upon itself and one is left in depression. The depressive desires nothingness, yet to achieve that desire is to feel the pain that there is nothing to will, like the spirit of gd leaving the body.

 P.133: 

This third eye is in fact the envelope, a double helix with another circle or helix traced inside the center, pure potentiation or non-negative difference.

P.135:

The donkey brays "Ya-Ya" as the beat generation said "yes yes yes" to everything, to piss and shit and fucking indifferently. These blind affirmations are as useless as negations.

P.136:

To affirm is to "set free what lives." This happens by virtue of the eternal return. The gyre spins and at the point of inscription, for the duration of an infinitely short moment, the Real is set free to make its mark.

P.145:

Break on the break. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFKMtv8tU0U

P.148

Discussion of the metonymic object of desire. This connection between words and desire (as opposed to metaphor) is integral, and relates itself to the fable of What the Tortoise Said to Achilles. This pulsation of perpetual desire is in fact Eros, akin the pulsation of orgasm or the hair flip of a squirrel's tail that is in heat.

P.153

Beyond good and evil is the eternal return.

P.160

"Dead things are looking at us," and the vitality of detritus, squalor. (cf. Jane Bennett)

P.173

"We see the difference between the object and the Thing without ever seeing the Thing." This is the function of parallax.

p.174-175

Zupancic' theory of love.

The tables might wobble but they don't fall down
