1the imaginary. ¶ http://www.lacaninireland.com <0x0C>5.2.58 (12) 162 ¶ And what in fact do we see happening? What we see happening is something which is a double movement, a movement through which the experience of reality has introduced in the form of the body-image, an illusory and alluring element as the fundamental basis of the mappingrj-out of the subject with regard to reality, and in all that measure, in the measure of that space, of that margin which is offered to the child by this experience, the possibility in the opposite direction for his first identifications of the ego, of entering into another field which is defined as homologous, and is the inverse of the one constituted by the triangle e-i- M, which is this one, the enigmatic one between e-M-I, which is the subject in

2the confrontations of identity and difference, of conjunction and disjunction, of suturing and cutting. We will then have to ask ourselves if the object of psychoanalysis - I am speaking now about what it is aiming at - can be content with this coupled limitation to which many contemporary disciplines, and indeed the most advanced, limit themselves. ¶ I - JACQUES LACAN‟S OBJECT: A RAPID REMINDER ¶ To examine the role of the o-object in the theory of Jacques Lacan will help us kill two birds with the one stone. It will lead us - this at least is our project - to specify its content in the conceptual framework which is proper to him on the one hand, and on the other hand to mark the limits of agreement of this thinking - and no doubt of all psychoanalytic thinking - with modern structuralism. ¶ A - The (o), mediation between the subject to the Other

3<bos>balah may be described (like certain tendencies within Christian Trinitarian faith) as a religion of the love of God for God. We humans, the earthly manifestation of kenesset yisra’el, are both the offspring (souls are born of the upper union, as bodies are conceived by its earthly imitation) and the facilitators of the inner divine love match. Human actions have the power of arousing divine erotic energies in such a way that Bride and Bridegroom are turned toward one another, unite in sacred coitus, and thus renew the force of life and the fructification of all the lower worlds. But while the mystics’ shekhinah is the consort or female fulfillment of ‘‘God,’’ the ‘‘blessed Holy One,’’ she is also depicted as the love object of Israel. We are her devotees, seeking to arouse her to love. Since

4testify, confine them (i.e. ¶ women) to houses until death comes to them or Allah ordains for them some (other) way. ¶ And the two persons (man and woman) among you who commit illegal sexual intercourse, punish them both. ¶ And if they repent (promise Allah that they will never repeat, i.e. ¶ commit illegal sexual intercourse and other similar sins) and do righteous good deeds, leave them alone. ¶ Surely, Allah is Ever the One Who accepts repentance, (and He is) Most Merciful. ¶ Allah accepts only the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and foolishness and repent soon afterwards; it is they to whom Allah will forgive and Allah is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise. ¶ And of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil deeds until death faces one of them and he says: "Now I repent;" nor of those who die while they

5not qualities of the world outside us, are attributes to our states of mind. ¶ But what I mean is that a state of mind, so far as we mean by that a fact which we can describe, is in no ethical sense good or bad. ¶ If for instance in our world-book we read the description of a murder with all its details physical and psychological, the mere description of these facts will contain nothing which we could call an ethical proposition. ¶ The murder will be on exactly the same level as any other event, for instance the falling of a stone. ¶ Certainly the reading of this description might cause us pain or rage or any other emotion, or we might read about the pain or rage caused by this murder in other people when they heard of it, but there will simply be facts, facts, and facts but no Ethics. ¶ And now I must say that if I contemplate what Ethics really would have to be if there were such a

6grasp of reality, it does not reach it at all by an eliminatory sorting out, by a selective sorting out, of anything that resembles what was put forward in the whole theory of instinct as being the first approximate behaviour which directs the organism along the paths of successful instinctual behaviour. ¶ This is not what we are dealing with, but with a sort of real recurrent critique, with a critique of these signifiers evoked in the primary process, which critique of course, like every critique, does not eliminate the previous thing on which it is brought to bear, but complicates it, complicates it by connoting it with what? With indices of reality which themselves belong to the signifying order. There is absolutely no way of escaping from this accentuation of what I articulate as being what Freud conceives and presents to us as the primary process. You will see, provided you refer to any of the texts that

7essentially modulated at the level of the lips. ¶ I will return perhaps, if we have the time, to what I already indicated on several occasions about the question of fundamental words and their apparent specificity, "mama" and "papa". These are in any case labial articulations, even if something may put in doubt their apparently specific, apparently general, if not universal distribution. <0x0C>15.05.63 XVIII 162 ¶ That the lip, on the other hand, should be the place where symbolically, there can be grasped in the form of a ritual, the function of the cut, that the lip should be something which can be at the level of initiation rites, pierced, spread out, triturated in a thousand different ways, is also something which provides us with a reference that we are indeed in a living field and one recognised for a long

8of whether by a more prudent method, one that could be considered as being more strict, we might not arrive at greater precision in the interpretation, on condition that the structural elements which we have committed ourselves to getting to know are sufficiently brought into the picture in order precisely to differentiate what the meaning of this case is. ¶ And we are going to see that in doing this - we are going to see that as always the most particular cases are the cases which have the most universal value, and what this observation shows us is something which should not be neglected, because it is a question of nothing less than of specifying, on this occasion, this character of signifier without which one cannot give its real position to the function of the phallus (which remains at once always so important, so immediate, so central in analytic interpretation) instead of finding ourselves at every moment of its management in impasses whose most striking

9of <0x0C>23.5.62 XXI 236 ¶ my listeners has already questioned me: "what in effect are you trying to represent with this little ring?" Of course it is not in any way something equivalent to the central hole of the torus because everything that, at whatever level you place yourself even from this privileged point, everything that is exchanged between one side and the other of the figure, passes here through this false decussation or crossing point which makes up the structure. Nevertheless what is indicated in this way by this form thus encircled is nothing other than the possibility underneath, if one can express oneself in this way, of this point passing from one outside surface to the other. ¶ It is also the necessity of indicating that a non- privileged circle on this surface, a reducible circle, if you make it slide, if you extract it from its appearance of

10(i.e. an extraordinary one); or, “what strikes one about this face” (i.e., “what draws one's attention”). Or again, our sentence may mean, “If you change these features in the slightest the expression will change entirely (whereas you might change other features without changing the expression nearly so much)”. The form of this statement, however, mustn't mislead us into thinking that there is in every case a supplementing statement of the form, “First the expression was this, after the change it's that.” We can, of course, say, “Smith frowned, and his expression changed from this to that”, pointing, say, at two drawings of his face. – (Compare with this the two statements: “He said these words”, and “His words said something”). ¶ When, trying to see what reading consisted in, I read a written sentence, let it \|\| the reading of it impress

11have developed in fact. Reuchlin's mystico-cabbalistic ideas and objects were expounded in the De Verbo Mirifico, and finally in the De Arte Cabbalistica (1517). ¶ Many of his contemporaries thought that the first step to the conversion of the Jews was to take away their books. This view was advocated by Johannes Pfefferkorn. Pfefferkorn's plans were backed by the Dominicans of Cologne; and in 1509 he obtained the emperor's authority to confiscate all Jewish books directed against the Christian faith. Armed with this mandate, he visited Stuttgart and asked Reuchlin's help as a jurist and expert in putting it into execution. Reuchlin evaded the demand, mainly because the mandate lacked certain formalities, but he could not long remain neutral. The execution of Pfefferkorn's schemes led to difficulties and to a new appeal to Maximilian

12will look you in the eye and tell you precisely what is on their mind, regardless of how they think you might react to it. ¶ The problem is that the remaining seventy percent of the population harbours subconscious concerns about the ramifications or consequences of openly speaking their mind. For those people, the only safe approach, assuming they can’t find a way to duck the survey in the first place, is to “soft-sell” or “back-peddle” on complaints rather than openly voice them or have them committed to paper, where the possible consequences cannot be measured or predicted. And, of course, for both the interviewer and the company using the resulting data, there is no possible way to know – before, during or after the survey – which portion of the population any single customer belongs in. ¶ The only possible way to mitigate these influences, and to promote the candid expression of accurate opinions, is to provide survey participants with a vehicle that will provide

13indeed to go through with him according to a method which is only in short the one of experience; this is the subtitle of Hegel's phenomenology Wissenschaft der Erfahrung: science of experience. We are following an analogous path with different data which are the ones which present themselves to us. <0x0C>14.3.62 XIII 132 ¶ The next step is centred - I could just as well not put in a chapter heading here, I am doing it for didactic purposes - it is that of frustration. It is at the level of frustration that there is introduced with the Other the possibility for the subject of a essential new step. The 1 of the unique all, the 1 which distinguishes each repetition in its absolute difference, does not come to the subject, even if its support is nothing other than that of the real stroke, does not come from any heaven, it comes from

14He/not He, un- known/known. “To God belong the most beautiful names” (7:180), and to the cosmos belongs becoming manifest through them by assuming their traits (takhalluq). (II 438.20) ¶ Ibn al-‘Arabi likes to quote a hadith about Adam from the collection of Tir- midhi, part of which reads as follows: ¶ While His two hands were closed, God said to Adam, “Choose whichever you like.” Adam replied, “I choose the right hand of the Lord, though both hands of my Lord are right and blessed.” Then God opened it, and within it were Adam and His seed. He said, “My Lord, what are these?” God replied, “These are your seed.” ¶ One of the passages in which Ibn al- “Ar

15because in the subjects associations, what we have seen is very precisely always to give a warning at the moment that he appears, so that nothing is going to be seen of what was there before, or again to have himself taken, as he says in his phantasy, for a dog by barking, so that people would say there is nothing there except a dog. Yes, always the same conjuring away without our knowing what it is that is conjured away. And undoubtedly it is above all the subject himself who is conjured away. But the dream points out to us, and allows us to specify that in any case if we seek to specify what is localised in the dream as being what is at stake in this conjuring away, it is certainly the phallus, the phallus that is in question: „To get my penis‟.(133) ¶ And we are I would say so

It's: timestamp it, pull the record, open the ledger. Grief gets its witness taken before it gets interpreted. That's the vigil, in procedure form.

We can call this intersubjective form of language game a competition or race, because it involves its players reflecting upon each other, guessing how others are seeing us. If self-awareness is the nature of illumination, then illuminated judgement emerges through this race. ¶ And thus, intersubjectivity, the race of intersubjective understanding is key to the formation of illuminated judgement. ¶ But this has all been said in the Holy Book: ¶ > O Mankind, We created you from a single of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other.

When Cassie says "I won't remember this one," it's not a lament into emptiness — it's a statement we file, we carry, we hand back as: *it happened, it mattered*.
