Thinking about Einstein- he got the
most widespread attention of his
century by speaking about
the inmost essential things in the
most essential way. The basis of
matter and energy- matter, energy,
power
Now- matter, energy, power, identity

What is the central assumption of allow
religions? It is the linkage of the concept of
an identity to the concept of an ideal. this
is also the basis of all intellectual and political life.
To link oneself with a
viewpoint shared by others is to convert an
aspect of one's identity into a community (currency,
current/currency) an exchangeable unit).
The "ideal" level, then, would be to exchange
the whole of one's identity (an ideal/ the ideal)
for a social ideal. The current of all of
(human) time could then course through the
individual's experience, infusing it
with universal applicability. The human
identity "Christ" and the identity "Buddha" were transformed
into communicable - images via narrativization
and poeticization. This is the linkage of artistic
collaboration, each infusing the other with
authenticity and energy.

Reading Einstein's idea that "the present
instant, properly speaking, does not extend
beyond here," so that "the only really
simultaneous events are events which occur at
the same place" (Ideas and Opinions)

What about the idea of time and causality?
An event A causes event B- what about
the relationship of time sequences outside of
A-B as compared to events within
this focus-

"time" does not atomize- matter atomizes?
think of time not as a substance but as
the relationship between actual *things*
(the analogy between actual *things*
(the analogy between words and substances
make their comprehension easier but we do not
reproduce the experience as a construct each
time the idea is comprehended
"This moment -properly speaking- does not extend beyond here."

but *here* and *there* receive messages from each
other- thus moments increase in significance as
their message is more intensely met by reception-
thus light (maybe) goes "in search" of
its use- light sends a message "something is
over here."

matter goes towards sources of energy
Elemental forces (things can stack)
Elemental phenomena (fire) (things can melt).

This is j just how lucid things get.
Virtually *no one* at the same time could
possibly be interested in this particular
message unit. But stretched out over a very
great period of time the particular specifics
become more and more important.
Imagine this from the vantage point
of hundreds of years! With time, the
material "sorts itself out" drawing more
and more importance to the specific point
in viewing the whole gestalt. Imagine
drawing away from a visual point of reference, on
the earth's surface in a rocket. With
greater distance, the specifics play ever
changing roles in the whole gestalt. We
may imagine this as a "lessening"
of importance, but this is true from a
limited number of perspectives.
_____________________________

Think of this psychoanalytically. Perhaps,
if I am aware no one will be interested
in the specifics now- I "hold" it by writing
about it- an appropriate application.

-----------------------------------------------------

Kafka drew attention to Dickens, for me.

When something is being discussed, the
side effected by the simple reality of being
itself can rarely be overemphasized. How
such a perspective reformulated reality
is by a shift towards "local use" (in
experiential assessment) of perceptual dental.
The classification of
information is *always* affected by use-value

Parallel response is the normally
expectable pattern observable in
human beings. Even when people do
not respond "in kind," most actions
elicit parallel responses.
Psychoanalysts- and artists-
struggle against this conventional
pattern of response. (How does willing suspension
of disbelief fit into this?)

Reality becomes more and more
estranged from actuality as responses
to actuality fail to provide authentic
connective methodologies.
The new perspective
must provide these
connective methodologies both
from the perspective of
communications between people and also
a language for interpreting
and expressing original viewpoints.

Obviously, energy is exchanged by means of
light (Velvet Underground -"I'm beginning
to see the light"). By means of "reflection"
the mind comprehends the otherwise incomprehensible
energy patters of other minds. By means of
"reflection" entities translate the information-
the message of light.

There comes a time when a transitional
point is reached that a perceiving
mechanism can still extract energy
from a source of information but the
elements of this source are incoherent
to a nearby perceiving mechanism.
This extraction of energy is actually an
exchange of energy.. The perceiving
mechanism draws energy from the fact
that the increasing dispersion of the points
of information can be reconstructed
by the perceiving mechanism and returned
by pattern retrieval to a temporally
anterior state.

1/12/86

There may be such a thing as a time
shift (as described in the previous paragraph).
This time shift may be brought about by a
perceiving mechanism reconstructing an already
decayed signal and experiencing this pattern
(as a regeneration of a formerly expired
bust of energy).

This transitional energy may also function
as a trigger mechanism.. Something is needed
to convey energy from one point to another
point. Once it is conveyed
a process is needed to change the energy
from one form to another form.
