wolven7We repeat ourselves until we get it right.
Ella Fitzgerald - [Angel Eyes (Layo & Bushwacka Remix)]--- the cyclical nature of selfhood and the politicisation of identitiy means that, in the end, when we assassinate/annihilate our egos and disolve our "selves" in the all-consuming All/Nothing (Nothing-Consuming Nothing/All) we have a tendency to find ourselves in one of two positions: That there is No Self, No All, No Not-All, No Thing, No Nothing, &c. Or! That there is a Super-self, a disparate and integrated whole seeking to awaken to its selfhood, which can only be attained via its components simultaneously recognising and annihilating their own.
The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Dao.
Mind.In.A.Box - [Sun And Storm]--- If we take the first route, then what we have is the n-Fold Negation which leads, through its recognition, into a regeneration and acceptance of everything, all the time, and we have accomplished nothing. If we take the latter, then we have simply awoken a self into itself, and we, again, have a selfhood problem. Think: If the parts-- each of which thinks itself whole-- must recognise that they are of the whole, order that the whole may awake, then when the whole awakes, logic dictates that it is not, itself, whole, but a part. Infinite Progression.
kidneythieves - [Placebø]--- Eternity is a Child playing Checkers; the kingdom belongs to a child.
This, of course, is my idiom, and I must acknowledge that. It is not necessarily true that there is a further Self, nor that there is not. It isn't necessarily the case that we can ever know. We have to acknowledge what we do and don't know, in order to ever come out of blind assumption about motivation and determination. (Static-X - [All in Wait]). I also don't believe that there is a need to get rid of identity, to achieve "enlightenment." I think that who and what we are will directly inform how we achieve the widest possible understanding of the universe we inhabit. (Pride and Fall - Ego). I think that dt to deny that, or to strip it away, is to limit ourselves the most brutally.
Selfhood informs, recapitulates, and is recapitulated in Buddhahood.
That's all, for now.
