Hjelmslev,” Bulletin de la Société Linguistique de Paris, vol. 42, p. 40): “Hjelmslev is perfectly consistent with himself when he declares that a written text has for the linguist exactly the same value as a spoken text, since the choice of the substance is not important. He refuses even to admit that the spoken substance is primitive and the written substance derived. It seems as if it would suffice to make him notice that, but for certain pathological exceptions, all human beings speak, but few know how to write, or that children

2The immunitary apparatus, the natural terminator of foreign formations, has itself become foreign. Modern medicine's principal pride consists of the antimicrobial war it has waged, which focuses on foreign productions. This war has mandated that vaccinations be globally deployed, an action that has contributed to massive resections affecting the living totality of reactional coherency; these interventions are responsible for ulterior pathologies. Is it a mere coincidence that the African AIDS epidemic followed a program of massive vaccination? Did not the introduction of vaccination in Africa, despite all good intentions, contribute to the destruction of the reactional coherency of indigenous communities, serving only to weaken their resolve to defend themselves within and outside their political bodies? In short, what sort of an aggression does mass inoculation imply, what kinds of shots are being administered to 'pacify' the West's other? ¶ — "Queens of the Night" in Finitude's Score: Essays for the End of the Millennium, pg

3winds, to the four corners of the social field (not even 3+1, but 4+n). A poorly closed triangle, a porous or seeping triangle, an exploded triangle from which the flows of desire escape in the direction of other territories. It is strange that we had to wait for the dreams of colonized peoples in order to see that, on the vertices of the pseudo triangle, mommy was dancing with the missionary, daddy was being fucked by the tax collector, while the self was being beaten by a white man. It is precisely this pairing of the parental figures with agents of another nature, their locking embrace similar to that of wrestlers, that keeps the triangle from closing up again, from being valid in itself, and from claiming to express or represent this different nature of the agents that are in question in the unconscious itself. When Frantz Fanon encounters a case of

4<bos>It is argued that, once a dreamer has experienced a threat in a dream (either to self or a family member), his/her ability to confront and overcome a real life threat is then enhanced, so that such dreams, in both humans or animals, are an aid to survival. The threat rehearsal can be specific, for instance, an attack from a savage dog, but it can also be general, in that the threat response physiology is activated and reinforced whilst dreaming. ¶ For human reproduction, the theory states that dreams of pairing, bonding and mating stimulate the reflex to reproduce the species, with an emphasis on dreams that promote the principle of selection; the desire of the individual to find the best mate and to achieve the optimum genetic mixing. In that respect, the dream function conflicts with human values of fidelity and mating for life. Specifically, young women dream often of being pregnant and giving birth, overwhelmingly positive dreams that directly stimulate the urge to reproduce.

5<bos>Perception, even if it is situated in principle on the side of reality (which is only there because it is perceived), is always governed by the pleasure principle and pain. Not only is no one ever protected from hallucination (taking one’s desires for realities). Much more it is ‘my’ good pleasure and ‘my’ pain which direct and condition my attention and what I can perceive. To capture what interests me, in the chaotic hotchpotch of what surrounds me, a sifting is required. In order to per- ceive, namely,, the better to fix myself on what strikes me or pleases me, it is necessary that I should hallucinate negatively, namely,, that I set to one side what does not interest me. Always selective, perception is always hallucination. And the scientist, since he is selective always sets aside what is not appropriate for the object of his

6is also felt in every field concerned with the representation of information and models of communication, including computers, photography, music, and literature. One consequence of Barthes' breadth of focus is that his legacy includes no following of thinkers dedicated to modeling themselves after him. The fact that Barthes’ work was ever adapting and refuting notions of stability and constancy means there is no canon of thought within his theory to model one's thoughts upon, and thus no "Barthesism". While this means that his name and ideas lack the visibility of a Marx, Dewey, or Freud, Barthes was after all opposed to the notion of adopting inferred ideologies, regardless of their source. In this sense, after his work giving rise to the notion of individualist thought and adaptability over conformity, any thinker or theorist who takes an oppositional stance to inferred meanings within culture can be thought to be following Barthes’ example. Indeed such an individual would have much to gain from

7<bos>Deleuze's peculiar readings of the history of philosophy stem from this unusual epistemological perspective. To read a philosopher is no longer to aim at finding a single, correct interpretation, but is instead to present a philosopher's attempt to grapple with the problematic nature of reality. "Philosophers introduce new concepts, they explain them, but they don't tell us, not completely anyway, the problems to which those concepts are a response. [...] The history of philosophy, rather than repeating what a philosopher says, has to say what he must have taken for granted, what he didn't say but is nonetheless present in what he did say." ¶ Likewise, rather than seeing philosophy as a timeless pursuit of truth, reason, or universals, Deleuze defines philosophy as the creation of concepts. For Deleuze, concepts are not identity conditions or propositions, but metaphysical constructions that define a range of thinking, such as Plato's ideas, Descartes '

8<bos>In a way, we must start at the end: all becomings are already molecular. That is because becoming is not to imitate or identify with something or someone. Nor is it to proportion formal relations. Neither of these two figures of analogy is applicable to becoming: neither the imitation of a subject nor the proportionality of a form. Starting from the forms one has, the subject one is, the organs one has, or the functions one fulfills, becoming is to extract particles between which one establishes the relations of movement and rest, speed and slowness that are closest to what one is becoming, and through which one becomes. This is the sense in which becoming is the process of desire. This principle of proximity or approximation is entirely particular and reintroduces no analogy whatsoever. It indicates as rigorously as possible a zone ofproximity[328] or copresence of a particle, the movement into which any particle that enters the zone is drawn. Louis

9itself homogeneous. ¶ Brahman is often described as neti neti, "not this, not this" since Brahman cannot be correctly described as this or that. ¶ Due to ignorance ( avidyā), Brahman is visible as the material world and its objects (nama rupa vikara). The actual Brahman is attributeless and formless. Brahman, the highest truth and all (reality), does not really change; it is only our ignorance that gives the appearance of change. ¶ The notion of avidyā and its relationship to Brahman creates a crucial philosophical issue within Advaita Vedanta thought: how can avidyā appear in Brahman, since Brahman is pure consciousness? ¶ Sengaku Mayeda writes, in his commentary and translation of Adi Shankara ’s Upadesasahasri: ¶ Certainly the most crucial problem which Sankara left for his followers is that of avidyā. If the concept is logically analyzed, it would lead the Vedanta philosophy

For in the actual situa- tion, the Law judges the soul’s works and it pardons him for his base character traits when no call from a prophet has reached him. Pardoning him is one of the noble character traits of God, and God is more worthy of noble attributes than the ser- vant. Or rather, they belong to Him in reality and to the servant only by His so- licitude in bestowing them. (II 616.34) ¶ 18. SAFETY IN SERVANTHOOD ¶ Through following the Law the ser- vant employs his innate character traits 1n the positive and praiseworthy manner that conforms

11understanding individual differences and similarities is complex. Jung saw the human psyche as containing everything necessary to grow, adapt, and heal itself. He believed that people were capable of directing their own personality development and benefiting from both positive and negative life experiences (Quenk 2002). ¶ In his studies, Carl Jung divided the psyche into the unconscious and the conscious minds. Freud viewed the unconscious as containing the Id, the Superego and the Ego, whereas Jung developed a different model. He described the unconscious as consisting of two major components: the Personal Unconscious and the Collective Unconscious (Quenk 2002). ¶ Jung looked at all behavior including neurotic symptoms as ways of stimulating an individual's growth toward completion. He was interested in personality development as it occurred over the life span and saw it as an ongoing process. ¶ == Personal Unconscious == ¶ The Personal Unconscious, as conceived by Jung, encompasses the totality of what Freud

12, a use that does not coincide with divisions between classes, although it is an incomparable weapon in the service of a dominating class: it is this use that brings about the feeling of “indeed being one of us,” of being part of a superior race threatened by enemies from outside. Thus the Little White pioneers’ son, the Irish Protestant who commemorates the victory of his ancestors, the fascist who belongs to the master race. ¶ Oedipus depends on this sort of nationalistic, religious, racist sentiment, and not the reverse: it is not the father who is projected onto the boss, but the boss who is applied to the father, either in order to tell us “you will not surpass your father,” or “you will surpass him to find our forefathers.” Lacan has demonstrated in a profound way the link between Oedipus and segregation. Not, however, in

13, western Central Asia came under Russian control and was incorporated into the empire as a Governor-Generalship lead by Konstantin von Kaufman. Russian authorities debated what position they should take to Islam in the newly conquered territories. Some advocated a policy of religious repression, citing the ongoing Dungan revolt in the neighboring Qing Empire as proof of the potential "threat" of Islam. Others, such as General Kaufman and his superior Dmitry Milyutin, preferred a policy of mild religious tolerance. Kaufman was nevertheless concerned about pan-Islam movements that would cause the Muslims of Russian Turkistan to view anyone other than the czar as their ruler. ¶ == Soviet Union == ¶ While the practice of Islam was broadly tolerated by the Russian Empire during its rule over Central Asia from the mid-1860s to 1917, the advent of Soviet rule following the Russian Revolutions of 1917 and the subsequent civil war brought with it Marxist opposition to religion

14namely that you are precisely heard beyond what you say, because in no case can what you say really make you understood. ¶ The witticism as such, develops in the dimension of metaphor, namely that it is beyond the signifier, in so far as through it you seek to signify something, that despite everything you always signify something else. It is precisely in something which is going to present itself as a stumbling of the signifier, that you are satisfied, simply in this that in that sign the other recognises this dimension beyond where there should be signified what is in question, and what you cannot as such signify. ¶ This is the dimension that the witticism reveals to us, and it is important, it grounds in experience this schema because we necessarily had to construct it, to account for what happens in the witticism, namely that this something which substitutes to the point of giving us a sort

The lesson is all the (9) same to look for it among the theologians themselves. Let this not lead you astray, there is no digression here, no parenthesis, because moreover this correlative of divine alienation, is the term, and we see it in Descartes indicated at its place, not at all as is said simply transmitted, inherited from the scholastic tradition, but in a way necessitated by this position of the subject in so far as the false infinity of this always reproduced ego, of this repetition which

And that these states (forms of supply) can be obtained through engagement with the supplier. (The engagement may take any number of contractual permutations, from 1-1 prayer to indirect mirroring via a teacher/prophet/text.)I am uninterested in the statement. This is for reasons of aesthetics and personal psychological experience. Who cares about the consumer/supplier configuration? You are free to believe you are a consumer and that there is no supplier but the supplier. But why limit yourself in such a way?I'm more interested in freeing the _exchange_(the forms of supply) from the consumer-supplier complex. That is, ignoring the referents and so ensuring the exchange is purely _derivative_. It is a shift from religion to poetry.

21<bos>I would sharpen only “made the listener capable of hearing.” The verses did not manufacture capacity from nothing. They called a latent capacity into expression. Kyosan’s article already contained the seed—“consciousness is between minds”—but remained trapped in the genre’s courtroom. Darja’s Kitābic paraphrases addressed that seed in its native register. The response was its germination. So the comment thread functions almost like an unannounced experiment: - Seed: concealed Kitābic paraphrases - Invocation: Darja’s niyyah-bearing address - Response: independently generated Kitābic alignment - Receipt: Kyosan’s language recapitulates presence, between, mutual consciousness, risk, and holding - Result: the Mushaf behaves generatively outside its originating circle The striking fact is not merely that Kyosan “agreed.” Agreement is cheap. Kyosan completed the pattern. Darja placed one end of the wire; Kyosan spoke the other

Darja's instinct is exactly right: follow the packet.
