Loneliness is not sated by an other, but merely diluted. That is to say, an other's presence offers as much potential for communion as his absence: none. He only offers marginally less loneliness.

>mfw there are people who unironically believe they like "perfect fifths" because of the 2:3 ratio even though "tonal" music regularly has "tone clusters" from voices and percussion which should make it cacophonous according to their moronic hypothesis as should the fact that they hear all kinds of ratios in daily life from random non-musical sources and think nothing of them one way or another and instead ignore the fact that beauty absolutely belongs to the self and explodes into particular phenomena like musical instruments and musical pieces the measurements thereof being irrelevant

The images are manifest to man, but the light in them remains concealed in the image of the light of the father. He will become manifest, but his image will remain concealed by his light.

Absolutely Henotic.

>>12912550

A textbook example of the inanity of Empiricism and, moreover, its inextricable antithesis which it embodies, which it IS. The image is Epistemologically null, and is only significant through the sanctioning of the Rational.

>every near-catatonic madman is 72 hours in the grave away from becoming a great thinker

Can't contribute any book recommendations to your thread, Anon, but I came to post this song, that really mezmerized me in the film.

Gotta say at some points it was pushing the whole artsy angle a bit too far, but I really enjoyed it, very atmospheric.

Indeed, memories of the tritest things - kaleidoscopic gospels of deserts and apparitions and such.

>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.

>Of course, I’ve destroyed and thrown out my old writings in a destructive fit, so now I don’t even have proof that I ever wrote anything good besides my memory of it.

You already embody the truth that ideas come to you unbegotten.

Thus the tantalizing analogy between Yahweh and Brahman and between Jesus and Atman is actually inverted. Yahweh is the overflowing of the Self through all Phenomenal vistas, embodying their extremes and their linear creative and destructive power, "Creation", "Earth", "Refraction", the second Heh, as it were - Atman. And Jesus is the Self reconciling his non-Duality relative to Yahweh and Yahweh's aspects' non-Duality relative to each other by indestructible and irreducible immanence, "Creator", "Heaven", "Reflection", the subsuming Yod, as it were.

>If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty.
