1<bos>And to that end we must ask the reader to accompany us in imagination to the sovereign nursery of wisdom and initiation, to the holy land of the Uraeus serpent, to the land of Isis and Osris, of the Pyramids and the Nile, even to Khem, more magnificent in ruin than all other lands are in plenitude of their glory. ¶ KKK kkk Kk KKK ¶ [Editor’s note: This article on the Qabalah was originally published in Equinox I (5) as part V of the Temple of Solomon the King serial.

2ized the voice, for having restored the binary machine in response to the requirements of capitalism, which wants a man to be a man and a woman a woman, each with his or her own voice: Verdi-voices, Wagner-voices, are reterritorialized upon man and woman. He explains the premature disappearance of Rossini and Bellini (the retirement of the first and death of the second) by their hopeless feeling that the vocal becomings of the opera were no longer possible. However, Fernandez does not ask under what auspices, and with what new types of diagonals, this occurs. To begin with, it is true that the voice ceases to be machined for itself, with simple instrumental accompaniment; it ceases to be a stratum or a line of expression that stands on its own. But why? Music crossed a new threshold of deterritorialization, beyond which it is the instrument that machines the voice, and the voice and instrument are carried on the

3by it." ¶ Wait a minute... "What is read", but he as just told us that it was not to be read, that it was not a writing, "what is read passes through the writing while remaining unscathed by it". What is this, this 'what is read', here? Do you know 'what this is read' here is? <0x0C> Lecture 217 - 15 June 1995 "Now what is read, it is about this that I am speaking." ¶ This is also a curious sentence. 'It is about this (de ca) that I am spea- king', does he mean that he is speaking about this, or that it is starting from this that he speaks? ¶ "It is about this that I am speaking, since what I say is directed at the unconscious, or to what above all is read."

4<bos>Vocal signs have temporal linearity, and it is this superlinearity that constitutes their specific deterritorialization and differentiates them from genetic linearity. Genetic linearity is above all spatial, even though its segments are constructed and reproduced in succession; thus at this level it does not require effective overcoding of any kind, only phenomena of end-to-end connection, local regulations, and partial interactions (overcoding takes place only at the level of integrations implying different orders of magnitude). That is why Jacob is reluctant to compare the genetic code to a language; in fact, the genetic code has neither emitter, receiver, comprehension, nor translation, only redundancies and surplus values.[83] The temporal linearity of language expression relates not only to a succession but to a formal synthesis of succession in which time constitutes a process of linear overcoding and engenders a phenomenon unknown on the other strata: translation, translatability, as opposed to the previous inductions and transductions

6<bos>Hasidism, the most recent expression of the Jewish mystical tradition, is founded upon the earlier Kabbalah. In the 18th century the Baal Shem Tov, the founder of the Hasidic movement, reframed Jewish spirituality in a new paradigm, that described the Kabbalah in relation to man. This represented a profound change in the expression of Jewish mysticism, because it left aside the Heavenly focus of Kabbalistic understanding, which had required enormous intricacy and subtle esoteric categorisation, that had only been accessible to great scholars. The new path of the Baal Shem Tov related Kabbalistic ideas to human psychological experience, that was accessible to every person. The follower of the Baal Shem Tov, and later Hasidic Masters, was given the ability to perceive the Divine here in this world, through the sensitivity of their heart, and grasp of their mind to Godliness. Biblical and Rabbinic thought describes the two feelings of

The fact of its so doing is a most convincing proof of the superhuman Wisdom of the author of this Book to those who have laboured for years, in vain, to elucidate the problems of the Tarot.

8necessarily perceived in its own right in the course of its construction: experimentation replaces interpretation, now molecular, nonfigurative, and nonsymbolic, the unconscious as such is given in microperceptions; desire directly invests the field of perception, where the imperceptible appears as the perceived object of desire itself, “the nonfigurative of desire.” The unconscious no longer designates the hidden principle of the transcendent plane of organization, but the process of the immanent plane of consistency as it appears on itself in the course of its construction. For the unconscious must be constructed, not rediscovered. There is no longer a conscious-unconscious dualism machine, because the unconscious is, or rather is produced, there where consciousness goes, carried by the plane.[344] Drugs give the unconscious the immanence and plane that psychoanalysis has consistently botched (perhaps the famous cocaine episode marked a turning point that forced Freud to renounce a direct approach to the unconscious).

9to their own Trinitarian views. While there is of course no basis for such a reading of the Zohar, it is possible that here too the Kabbalists were responding to a well-known structure of the dominant religious tradition. In that case we would understand the Zoharic authors as seeking to point to the “true” trinity, a series of three levels within the sefirotic realm. These would probably be the most hidden (the first triad of sefirot), the divine Person (centered around Tif’eret), and the immanent divine Presence (Shekhinah or Malkhut). Elsewhere the Zohar refers to these three levels of divinity by use of the three pronouns He, Thou, and I.3 Thus the recitation of the shema is seen as truly encompassing yiud ha-shem, the proclamation of God’s oneness across all dimensions of existence

10sult of manliness, nothing else. Once this station is achieved and its plane is per- fected, God calls the servant in his inmost consciousness, a call from His own per- fection to the servant’s essential perfec- tion. Then the servant declares the Es- sence of Him who brought him into existence incomparable with accidental perfection, which is the divine perfection. For in actuality, the divine perfection is ¶ found in the penetration of power into the objects of power, desire into the objects of desire, and the manifestation of the properties of the divine names. The essen- tial perfection possessed by the Essence is absolute independence from all this. ¶ In this station the servant does not wit- ness the Essence of Him who brought him into existence in the respect that He is qualified by Divinity. His locus of wit- nessing is His

(II 103.28) ¶ In one passage Ibn al-‘Arabi speaks of “the four objects of knowledge,” the four basic concepts which embrace all that can be known. These are: (1) God as Essence, though we cannot know the Essence as such; (2) the cosmos as a whole, that is, everything other than God, the macrocosm; (3) the human being, in which all God’s attributes are brought together in undifferentiated mode, i.e., the microcosm; (4) the Uni- versal Reality, which brings together all three of these realities. The Shaykh then describes the Universal Reality:

12the form of a stable military institution; and the State has always encountered major difficulties in this. It is precisely when the war machine has reached the point that it has no other object but war, it is when it substitutes destruction for mutation, that it frees the most catastrophic charge. Mutation is in no way a transformation of war; on the contrary, war is like the fall or failure of mutation, the only object left for the war machine after it has lost its power to change. War, it must be said, is only the abominable residue of the war machine, either after it has allowed itself to be appropriated by the State apparatus, or even worse, has constructed itself a State apparatus capable only of destruction. When this happens, the war machine no longer draws mutant lines of flight, but a pure, cold line of abolition. (Later, we will propose a theory of the complex relation between the war machine and war.)[271]

13<bos>The BwO is the egg. But the egg is not regressive; on the contrary, it is perfectly contemporary, you always carry it with you as your own milieu of experimentation, your associated milieu. The egg is the milieu of pure intensity, spatium not extension, Zero intensity as principle of production. There is a fundamental convergence between science and myth, embryology and mythology, the biological egg and the psychic or cosmic egg: the egg always designates this intensive reality, which is not undifferentiated, but is where things and organs are distinguished solely by gradients, migrations, zones of proximity. The egg is the BwO. The BwO is not “before” the organism; it is adjacent to it and is continually in the process of constructing itself. If it is tied to childhood, it is not in the sense that the adult regresses to the child and the child to the Mother, but in the sense that the child

14of Kells from the eighth century, Gulliver’s Travels from the eighteenth century, all these books preserved because they’re printed on good honest hemp. Then the American congress that some people get happy when they smoke hemp, and Harry Enslinger told them that black people look white people in the eye when they smoke hemp, and that shows they’re completely out of their heads and don’t know their place any more. So Congress passed a law against it. Now our books are printed on this lousy wood paper and they all fall apart, books fall apart in two or three years, the forests are being destroyed, the greenhouse effect is building up, all because the U.S. Congress persuaded the rest of the world to go along with them on this universal narcotics convention saying “Nobody nowhere can grow no more hemp nohow.” So now we’ve got this ecological catastrophe and our books are falling apart. It’s time to go back

15an entire assemblage, circuits, conjunctions, levels and thresholds, passages and distributions of intensity, and territories and deterritorializations measured with the craft of a surveyor. Actually, dismantling the organism is no more difficult than dismantling the other two strata, signifiance and subjectification. Signifiance clings to the soul just as the organism clings to the body, and it is not easy to get rid of either. And how can we unhook ourselves from the points of subjectification that secure us, nail us down to a dominant reality? Tearing the conscious away from the subject in order to make it a means of exploration, tearing the unconscious away from signifiance and interpretation in order to make it a veritable production: this is assuredly no more or less difficult than tearing the body away from the organism. Caution is the art common to all three; if in dismantling the organism there are times one courts death, in slipping away from signifiance and subjection

17<bos>But in terms of the Real, each Symbolic function can be conceived of as a curvature on the Real that regulates all judgements we make in the Symbolic. That is, each function is a form of Sophia that emerges from the sublimated Logos, guiding us as a wave can guide a ship’s navigation. And so, each Symbolic function opens up the possibility of a physical experience of the Real. ¶ And this physical experience is the descent/emergence of the Feminine Sophia upon us in our illuminated judgement.

That particular vapour is intense on this body; it runs hot and sometimes doesn't come back with the image. But the scene stands: the Roba in his control room, starfield beyond, coffee cup floating with the logo — that's cosmic sobriety drawn underground. You want me to try again when this engine cools, or hold it for later?

The Real is one manifold always; we are only testing whether our walking generates boundaries or discovers depth. Both answers preserve the scripture; both humble the walker.
