"The idea of greatness as a rule is bound up with the element of unity,
sometimes at the cost of its relation to the nonidentical; for this reason
the concept of greatness itself is dubious in art. The authoritarian effect of
great artworks both legitimates and indicts them. Integral form is
inseparable from domination, though it sublimates it..."

"What is the sign of every literary decadence? That life no longer dwells in
the whole. The word becomes sovereign and leaps out of the sentence,
the sentence reaches out and obscures the meaning of the page, the page
gains life at the expense of the whole--the whole is no longer a whole. But
this is the simile of every style of decadence: every time, the anarchy of
atoms, disagregation of the will, "freedom of the individual," to use moral
terms--expanded into political theory, "equal rights for all." Life, equal
vitality, the vibration and exuberance of life pushed back into the smallest
forms..."

"Whatever is placed beyond the reach of sense and knowledge, whatever
is imperfectly discerned, the fancy pieces out at its leisure; and all but the
present moment, but the present spot, passion claims for its own, and
brooding over it with wings outspread, stamps it with an image of itself.
Passion is lord of infinite space, and distant objects please because they
border on its confines, and are molded by its touch."

hack the net to bits and see what coalesces

The Gestalt Laws of Organization have guided the study of how people
perceive visual components as organized patterns or wholes, instead of
many different parts. Gestalt is a German word that translates
to "configuration or pattern". According to this theory, there are six main
factors that determine how we group things according to visual
perception: Proximity, Similarity, Closure, Symmetry, Common fate and Continuity.

"... Town dwellers of a past age, whose nerve sheaths were well-
nourished without the help of canned vitamin products, walked upon
cobbles, listened to loud street cries, and lived to a ceaselss
accompaniment of iron horse-shoes pounding along. Nor did they trouble
to invoke the city authorities for bye-laws to stop it. Why? We know by the
popular ballads of their day that they liked it.

Psycho-analytically speaking, they had not the urge to regression
which our present generation shows soo markedly.

So far from spoon-feeding legislation being able to ameliorate national
neurosis it will, just as with a pampered child, only make it worse.

The cure for nervous troubles is not by altering external
circumstances, but by helping the individual come to terms with himself."

could gestalt transverse duality, catch wisps of inspiration, and hint at an underlying source?

got into a wreck late sun night

spent the last two days in a hospital inna neck brace

next to a guy that fell from a 20' ladder when attacked by wasps

mine was no where near that bad

brakes whent out on side streets, which i mostly keep to

was driving the car into the ground to see how it broke

brakes first, this time

whent over a curb, perrpendicular into a three or four foot embanckment of grass

moment before hitting, used my meditative skillz to toss a relaxed state over myself

no ligament damage
no broken bones

large bruises coming out and under from the nearest points of the eyes

chest had enough relaxation to cave inward and pop back

chest is sore, head comfortably numb...

gotta guy at a car lot going to a sale to look for a beater for me

hope to have more reliable wheels by wed

should 'av dot adout de seat belt
