But the mysteries of that marriage are perfected rather in the day and the light. Neither that day nor its light ever sets. If anyone becomes a son of the bridal chamber, he will receive the light. If anyone does not receive it while he is here, he will not be able to receive it in the other place. He who will receive that light will not be seen, nor can he be detained. And none shall be able to torment a person like this, even while he dwells in the world. And again when he leaves the world, he has already received the truth in the images. The world has become the Aeon (eternal realm), for the Aeon is fullness for him. This is the way it is: it is revealed to him alone, not hidden in the darkness and the night, but hidden in a perfect day and a holy light.

Philosophy is neither arbitrary nor restless, and its "need" is ultimately immortality.

Consider the whole transmutation of the Atonement into the Victor as the exposure of sacrifice, and its implicit Mereology and Relativism, by the Monad.

>Is this how breeders actually think?

They don't think at all. The meeting of bodies is terminal, as it were, to the Rational. One's Self becoming not even Material, but merely bodily, a whole world transformed into a vulgar binary instantiation, an excretion of one's Self, as it were.

>And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
>But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
>Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

These questions are gay. The first one can have polar opposite meanings depending on what purpose you speak of, purpose in and of myself and purpose for the world are mortal enemies.

Meaning, not necessarily in words, but like a lukewarm wind that is as huge as it is gentle.

The Gospels. Understanding is MOST erotic.

It is only concerned with freedom in a very limited way, merely against the State, and actually loves the greater tyrants.

>SOCRATES: So whence the line dividing what you know and what you know not?
>KANT: I...
>SOCRATES: Have you found it continuous, or have you gradually encountered parts of it that you later put together?
>KANT: I-I just...
>SOCRATES: Does it have ends, or does it loop?
>KANT: Look sir...
>SOCRATES: How would you know if you've truly returned to the initial inquiry? What gives you the authority to close it there, rather than elsewhere? Is what you know on the inside and what you know not on the outside, or the other way around? Moreover, how do you know either way? Is there a second line dividing that too? Why? Why not?
>KANT: I-I-I-I...
>SOCRATES: And if you do not close it then have you found either of its ends? Perhaps there is not one but two lines, intersecting, dividing what you know, what you know not, what you know you know, what you know not you know not, and so forth.
>KANT: Pl-please...
>SOCRATES: Would it not follow that you could walk around the ends once you find them, as one would walk around the end of a fence, no matter how long, once one has gone the distance?
>KANT: *silently weeping*
>SOCRATES: What, then, divides what one knows from what one knows not, other than vitality?

Reminder that the idea of people wanting Hell is not (only) a metaphor or Eschatological fancy, but literally descriptive. That one would deny his self-identity of being free, knowing, whole, and instead live to work thinking himself bound, dim, lacking due to this or that, blaspheming against the Spirit, and worse still mimic the initial identity through his degradation, only to ultimately see God and succumb to terminal grief of a life wasted for nothing. He will not be forgiven, not by God's power, but his own accord.

Not only would climate hysterics find banishing the slaughter from the house inconceivable, but they would rather die than see it manifest.

Men who embody Jesus are rare, women who embody Jesus that much rarer, men who embody Sophia are rarer still, women who embody Sophia are the rarest.

Reminder that Kant is deathly afraid of Dialectic, practically an Anglo in that regard. Also, the only reason why he is so bitchy about not "seeing his own seeing" is that he expects it to be exceptional, but it is an all-pervading principle whereby one can hardly see anything else. Ironically, his own seeing being the only thing maintaining itself through his autism, the only thing he DOES see.

Should one think of Jesus performing miracles in a literal way and passively accept it, he will be flustered when either the craftiness and/or the trickery of Man in general will allow him to likewise perform equal or greater demonstration. Triply flustered: doubt in Jesus, doubt in his words about Man, and doubt in his own judgement thereof. Moreover, his Reason and his Faith will be at odds with each other. But should one think of Jesus performing miracles in a metaphorical way, and actively realize their meaning, he can never be flustered. Moreover, his Reason and his Faith will have become one and the same.

Nature is at once a Phenomenon, thus subordinate to the Self and indestructible, and Subjective itself thus capable of taking care of itself.
