THE ONLY POSSIBLE METAPHYSICAL STANCE TO 2012

Rate: 11 Flag

2012.

Popular mythopoetic understandings (& misunderstandings)

of this year’s  Significance

Are floating out there in zeitgiesit noosphere.

Some of are sillyhead-readings of south american bloodlust magical thinking mayans who had eyes to chart the stars, but that, when u study primitive cultures, is no great accomplishment. Mesopotamians did it. then they came to america, some say. others say no. 

A 

 

They were made, these  predicti0ns,

 to make what they prognosticate true.

The doomsayers want doom.

That Freudian deathwish 

that giving up of the Ego’s constant need for total control

Deferring to imaginary visions of destruction & annihilation, especially o f ego, whose fondest desire is never anything but suicide.

And the whole world too,w hile ego is at it.

Suicidal ideations inculcated...for ego=whole world… But ego is in

Painful self doubt……..that is its motive, to destroy itself.

 

Rational people, solidly constructed funloving egos,

writers of grammatical prose,

 cling to the myth of historical progress and say,

‘The evidence is lacking, it is intellectually controvertible, this mythology…’

Then they snicker at it, this sense of ending and doom.

they are not to be fucked with, for their rationality is carniverous.

never argue with someone who knows what is what. whom you

trust to tell you the facts and the interpretation of the facts, please.

A 

 

A lot of people simply want

the end of the world,as a deterministic cosmic force,

Which forgives them from doing acts of incomplete ignorant  good will,

for they no longer know what ‘good will’ could mean,

or how it could ‘PROACTIVELY’  bring sanity and..let’s face it..more of the same..more sanity...good will is the only answer for these types.

good will being a situational phenomenon, they direct situations

to their self definitions. all situations are of rational upsurge.

 

a reasonable mind can make a fortress of your soul.

and this is ...somewhat seductive..

................................

scenario:

he: what do you think, 2012 the end?

he: if so, i am ready.

he: me too. did it all, most of it. 

he:even the bucket list?

he: some, not all, of it.

..........................................

 

 

 

 

 

History rumbling on… Playing us as contingent angelic flesh puppets doing their best. this is not an option to believe. we never do our best, only what is good. if we are well educated. best is for the socially conscious. those who follow the trends.

The best suffering, the poor souls in extreme suffering, we gotta consider.

  A

we gotta feel the pain of those who are not interested in metaphysics.

In socio-political economic ideology, they are noted for their boring prose.

Divorced  from mythological forces.

Which are paramount. At Zeitgeist’s core….

the core is not anything external or societal. it is intensely personal

the most individual spark of genius,

which encroaches upon  genius.

 

…………………………………………………………………..

Since when was January 2d a holiday, anyway? I went out into a chilly wind and found all main st shops and the library closed.”No beer today! “ said my convenient store proprietor. I had a taste for some, but was out of iuck.

 

I wandered a ghostly presence.

 

I am getting used to this persona.

I hope it leads me to glory.

Indifference is not not caring, it is acceptance, with the possibility of nurturing beauty.

A

 

 

2012 will  the most important yeAr in American history. Also metayphysical history.

 

A year from now , at the risisng  2013, wil be all the psychological and spitritual energy

Integrated, finally, in a rational mystical paradigm.

 

So I prophesy.

Zeit (time)
-geist: spirit of the age
&
-zumder: time fuse

that's it! time fuse;

At the core, no matter the age/spirit,
there is the imperative of anti-clock
anti clock will be a difficult thing to sell to the masses
yearning absolute enlightenment: the easiest way.
they will check their watches & wonder why so
much time spent engaging in experience
of timefuse. they will need constant
beauty bombarding them, to
recondition clock reality.
I've read this about 4 times and am still trying to get it. Are you saying that people want the world to end? They do prophesy Armageddon a lot. It must be rough, to not want to live but to not be able to kill yourself because of your religion.

Today's a holiday because the stores and such are always closed on Sunday, so if they didn't get today then they wouldn't get a holiday.
phyllis,
today is monday!
where are u?
what's to get about this ranting?
of course people want the end, the very end...
some know there will be something after the end.
the end of what?
the end of the world as it is.
take it literally: a planet dies.
take it poetically: the old kingdom is overthrown.

then we get "Integrated, finally, in a rational mystical paradigm."


stores ought not to be closed on jan 2d. it is not a damn holiday.
Original sin and the end of times should not have been portrayed with a bottle of Bud.
It's distracting.

Perhaps in that it is 01/02/12 some sort of cosmic thing got into the store clerk's thinking James. It's nothing personal of course and a poor choice for not selling beer as so many are still stuck indoors on their couches.
Lots of lost lucre for the poor clerk.

Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden
Surely must have shook that thing
also, if i distract you, so be it. i am a damn artist with
something or another to say...
someday
it will become clear to me , but beauty w/o beer is not
beauty to me. call me situationally conditionally isolated
in an addiction, if you wish. i am ambivalent.

but beauty is important. and intoxication is holy.
you will never strip me of this idea even if u are totally
rational.
You didn't distract me at all.
The bottle caps did.
oh the bottle caps, hm?
well, a man of hirsute satori gotta be undistractable.
bottle caps are a fact of life, unfortunately.
what they do is a holy thing:
keep the liquid fresh.
yes?
In the epigram to Timequake, Vonnegut says, "All persons, living and dead, are purely coincidental." In my mind, I'm going to replace that with this: "contingent angelic flesh puppets," both for the hint of Hamlet and because it's just darn fine. I would make bold to disagree with your point that indifference is not not caring. I think people who shrug their shoulders and say, "well, that's just the way it is." They truly don't care--to make demands on the world. But, James, you are not a shoulder shrugger, and you do make demands.
James,
you are well educated so you know that Armageddon prophesies have been around every now and then;it is not the first time.
It usually occurs at the change of a century.This time it might have come a bit late,since we have completed the 11th year already turning to the 12th.
Nobody knows except the seers,and they don't speak up openly.I have to correct myself.There is one on OS.He speaks up.
Mystic is one reality,rationality another.
You seem to be at home in either one.
Please chek on my blog and read
Hermann Hesse:"Steps" (Stufen)
jerry...indifference vulgarly taken , sure.
but...in-difference..no difference...
the "difference' is the subject object dichotomy.
we mustnt think of others as objects. in(no)-difference to me
means the i thou thing, the union of subjects in an indifference.

i hope i have explained it to utmost perplexity.
heidi,
i am at home in both camps, and hope to reconcile them someday.

i shall check out yer hesse.
I'm not ready for the world to end just yet. Maybe that makes me disconnected from things but I just want it to go on for a while: "then/laugh, leaning back in my arms/for life's not a paragraph/And death [no matter what happens to us when we die, how good it might be] i think is no parenthesis"
something will happen on 12/21/12, because something happens every day.

Armageddon is here!!! Right where it always was, in Israel.

We are amassing large armies at the spot where the world is prophecized to end. I don't believe in that, but that doesn't matter. There are enough people who do that my thoughts are irrelevant.

Something bad is going to happen this year. But, something good will as well...and so on.
I just wish it would happen. I've spent so much time and money over the years building my backyard bunker and stocking it with guns, bottled water and canned goods. I'm so tired of the suspense; maybe I should just shoot myself and get it over with.
The Water Dragon likes to think that energy will be rising
He is trying to stir it up

Love that Blake image, snake shares apple with mysterious nude woman while man turns his back and shrugs his shoulders
Lovely tomfoolery of the very best variety
rated with love
eh. hokum. i like brian cox's version better...and this kind of proves his point.
Oh; they were prognosticating even as I was agnosticating about my condition after licking all those (beer caps?) and not knowing that they knew nothing I didn't already know (and of course, they didn't know that I knew they knew not), I realized I had already been translightened with nothing left but to be translated. Thus!! Sadly, though just a bit; no 12 for me to delve as I am no longer there, but here. Was I a transitive translate?

I stil love your mind and your words, James M Emmerling
I will admit this here, only to you my friend. When I first did the research for my posts I was deeply disturbed. If you read what I said about the Mayan calendar in the comments of my Behind the Bush post you will see that at the time of its writing I thought any cataclysmic events would be strictly artificial and created with the intention of fulfilling an ancient blueprint for bringing about Nietzsche's “Overman”. After doing my own research, I have little use for “scholars” whose only real talent lay in finding the G spot of their academic overlords, I was forced to reevaluate. As always the facts speak for themselves, that’s why you will not find any conclusions by me in those posts. I must tell you I am starting to come to grips with the whole thing, the current status quo cannot be maintained, not only does it exist only in the service of evil but it is boring to boot, so in the words of a cartoon hero “bring it on!”
Thought-provoking at a time when my brain feels overloaded. So I won't try to argue with you if you don't snicker at me. Or vice versa. Deal?
