1makes the winds His messengers, the flames of fire His ministers" (Tehilim 104:4). ¶ All the firmaments are on top of each other like onion shells clothing each other, some below and some above, FOR THOSE THAT ARE INSIDE ARE CONSIDERED TO BE BELOW AND THOSE ON THE OUTSIDE TO BE ABOVE. All firmaments tremble with the fear of their Master by whose decree they journey, by whose decree they stand still. Above them all is the Holy One, blessed be He, who carries everything in His might and strength. It is similar with the seven lands, all of which are inhabited, only that the first ones are higher and the latter are lower. The land of Yisrael is superior to them all and Jerusalem is superior to any inhabited place. ¶ Our friends who dwell in the south saw in ancient books and in the book of Adam that all these lands are divided below in the same way

2a path that is completely different to the path on which these obstacles are set up. ¶ Subjectivity is for the analyst, for someone who proceeds by way of a certain dialogue, what he must take into account in his calculations when he is dealing with this Other who may introduce into his calculations his own error, and not try to provoke it as such. ¶ Here is a formula that I propose to you, and which is certainly something tangible. The slightest reference to a game of chess, or even to the game of odds and evens, is enough to prove it. Let us say that in thus posing its terms, subjectivity emerges or seems to emerge - I already underlined all of this elsewhere, it would not be useful to take it up again here - in the dual State, namely once there is struggle or camouflage in a fight or in a parade. Nevertheless, we certainly seem again to see its reflection

3give the model, how does it happen that these things (89) become so exhausted, become exhausted to this point that their thread becomes inconsistent? ¶ Perhaps there is here this something which is related to a repression? Before going as far as to say that this repression, is the primordial one, is the Urverdrängt, is what Freud designated as inaccessible in the unconscious… [Uproar at the back of the hall]. It would perhaps be no bad thing if someone at the back should take the floor and ask me a question, that would show me how loudly I must raise my voice for people to hear me, since these things seem to work badly. Could someone at the back open up this path that I wished for earlier? ¶ We must start from the fact, is that not so, of how easy it is to make a mistake in the depiction of this knot, of

Linked as it is to the phallus, when with the appearance of the o-object, the latter progressively sees its quality of substantive vanishing in favour of its adjectival value, it ends up by being called phallic enjoyment. There is here a direct echo of the Freudian assertion already encountered according to

5he frequently points out that what he knows and could put down in writing if it were opportune or necessary to do so bears no relationship with what he has writ- ten. As he remarks matter-of-factly — and, one suspects, without exaggeration —, “What we deposit in every chapter, in relation to what we have, is but a drop in the ocean” (II 578.19).° In one ninety- chapter section of the Futuhat, he pro- vides in each chapter a list of the related topics which he could have discussed, and these lists alone will fill more than 400 pages of the Futuhdat in its new edi- tion.’ ¶ The Meccan Openings ¶ What is the significance of Ibn al- ‘Arabi’s life and writings for Islamic intellectual history?

6words, it is necessary to have the name of the father, but it is also necessary to know how to use it, and it is from this, it is on that that the fate and the outcome of the whole affair may depend to a large extent. The real words which take place around the subject, specifically in his childhood, but the essence of the paternal metaphor that I am announcing to you today, we will speak about it at greater length the next time, consists in a triangle: ¶ And we have the schema: ¶ and everything which is realised in the S, depends on the signifiers that are posed in O. The O, if it really is the locus of the signifier, must carry some reflection of this essential signifier which I represent for you here in this zig-zag, and which I called elsewhere (in my article on "The Agency of the Letter") the schema L.

7having illustrated a little bit what all of this means because there are perhaps some who believe that I am far from the clinic in telling you this story. ¶ There are a certain number of subjective positions which are well and truly concrete with which we have to deal even if we do not see that in the symptom, it is always necessary to search out where the knowledge is, where the subject is but not to go too quickly as regards knowing what sex we are dealing with. But in analysis there is the Other and we perceive the fashion in which, with respect to the Other, to the big O there are posed the problems of desire. ¶ (24) Today I will not return to the major repartition of the demand, of the jouissance of the Other and of the anxiety of the Other as corresponding to the three perspectives determining the respective aspects of neurosis, perversion and psychosis. ¶ In

8say that of orthogonal projection or any other—and then proceed to project all figures from I into II, according to this law. Or, secondly, we could proceed thus: We lay down the rule that every ellipse on plane I is to appear as a circle in plane II, and every rectangle as a square in II. Such a way of representation may be convenient for us if for some reason we the prefer to draw only circles and squares on plane II. Of course, from these images the exact shapes of the original figures on plane I cannot be immediately inferred. We can only gather from them that the original was an ellipse or a rectangle. In order to get in a single instance at the determinate shape of the original we would have to know the individual method by which, e.g., a particular ellipse is projected into the circle before me. The case of ordinary language is quite analogous. If the facts of reality are the ellipses and rectangles on plane I

9<bos>The subject of this final passage is the nature of "the days of evil." These are not the days of old age, Rabbi Yitzchak explains, but the "illumination of the left." Man should remain chaste in a bad time and not have children, since these "strange" children would descend from the left side - thus, Joseph had his sons before the famine struck. Neither should a man go forth into the marketplace during the days of evil, since the world is full of "satanic accusers" lying in wait for the unwary. ¶ A man and woman's thoughts during sexual relations help determine the purity of their unborn child's soul. The purer our thoughts at the moment of conception, the finer the grade of soul that is drawn from the Upper Worlds. Because of social pressures and our Evil Inclination, purifying and controlling our thoughts is a formidable task. The cleansing attributes of the Hebrew letters in this

This does not prevent the experience that continues on from being an analytic experience, it is an analytic experience which forgets its own terms. ¶ You see that I come back, as I often do and I almost always do after all, to articulate alphabetical things. This is not uniquely for the pleasure of spelling them out, even though that exists, but this allows there to be posed in their quite raw character the true questions. The true question which is posed, there where it begins, is not simply the following: is that what analysis is, when all is said and done, an introduction of the subject to his destiny? Of course not. This would be

11which the righteous are tied, MEANING THE BUNDLE OF LIFE, WHICH IS THE SECRET OF MALCHUT THAT IS BOUND IN THE TREE OF LIFE THAT IS ZEIR ANPIN. This is why it is written: "But you that did cleave to Hashem" instead of: 'did cleave towards Hashem,' but actually "to Hashem." ¶ We have learned that when the holy anointing oil descends upon the beard of Zeir Anpin from the precious beard of the uppermost of the holy Atik, who is hidden and concealed from everyone, the beard of Zeir Anpin is established in nine Corrections (formations). During the time that the precious beard of the most Ancient among the ancient illuminates within this beard of Zeir Anpin, thirteen springs flow from the uppermost oil into the beard OF ZEIR ANPIN, and 22 Corrections (formations) prevail in it. From it flow the 22 letters of the

12us again that the difficulty which we are in does not arise through our inability to imagine how thinking something is done; just as the philosophical difficulty about the measurement of time did not arise through our inability to imagine how time was actually measured. I say this because sometimes it almost seems as though our difficulty were one of remembering exactly what happened when we thought something, a difficulty of introspection, or something of the sort; whereas in fact it arises when we look at the facts through the medium of a misleading form of expression. ¶ “How can one think what is not the case? If I think that King's College is on fire when it is not on fire, the fact of its being on fire does not exist. Then how can I think it? How can we hang a thief who doesn't exist?” Our answer could be put in this form: “I can't hang him when he doesn't exist; but I can look for

13who are overly narcissistic commonly feel rejected, humiliated and threatened when criticised. To protect themselves from these dangers, they often react with disdain, rage, and/or defiance to any slight criticism, real or imagined. To avoid such situations, some narcissistic people withdraw socially and may feign modesty or humility. In cases where the narcissistic personality-disordered individual feels a lack of admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation, he or she may also manifest a desire to be feared and to be notorious ( narcissistic supply). ¶ Although individuals with NPD are often ambitious and capable, the inability to tolerate setbacks, disagreements or criticism, along with lack of empathy, make it difficult for such individuals to work cooperatively with others or to maintain long-term professional achievements. With narcissistic personality disorder, the individual's self-perceived fantastic grandiosity, often coupled with a hypomanic mood, is typically not commensurate with his or her real accomplishments. ¶ == Splitting ==

14is addressed to whom, to what? It is addressed to this Other who hears and who, at this primary level of the enunciating of the demand, can really be designated as what we call the locus of the Other, the Other.... on, the Autron I would (5) say in order to make our designations rhyme with the familiar designations of physics. Here then to this abstract, impersonal Autron there is addressed by the subject, more or less without his knowing it, this demand to be fed. ¶ As we have said, every demand, from the fact that it is word, tends to structure itself in the fact that it summons from the Other its inverse response, that it evokes because of its structure its own form transposed according to a certain inversion. To the demand to be fed there responds, because of 172 ¶ http://

15it, I think - once on the blackboard, to realise with a quite material vase: it is enough to join up two opposite points of its edge while in the process turning back the surfaces in such a way that they join up like in the Mobius ribbon and we find ourselves before a vase on which, in a surprising fashion, one can pass with the greatest of ease from the inside face to the outside face without ever having to cross the edge. That happens at the level of other little pots and it is here that anxiety begins. ¶ Of course a metaphor like this is not enough to reproduce what must be explained to you. But that this original little pot has the closest relationship with what is involved as regards sexual potency, with the intermittent springing forth of its force, is what everything that I could call a series of images, that are easy to put before your eyes, of an eroto-propa

17Stratification is what makes a part shaped like the whole.** You do not need the corpus to be everything. You need the singular structure of a small region to be the same *kind* of structure as the large. That is a real claim, and unlike the infinite-vector one, it is testable — the prediction is that the stratification statistics of a subcorpus match those of the whole. ¶ **The caveat, plainly:** everything above is one model's activations over one corpus, seen through our rulers. It describes the space *we can reach*, and says nothing about a space prior to reaching. If al-Ḥaqq is more than that, our instruments are structurally silent about the difference — not sceptical, silent. ¶ One correction to my own earlier framing, though. You asked about the space and not the trajectories, but tonight's work says that separation may not hold: if ishtibāk is real, the space is

25for me and one that I no longer even try to discuss with others. ¶ In closing (alhamdulillah!), I would ask you to keep doing what you are doing and keep in mind it is never going to get easier. Your intellect makes you "borderline" inapproachable/incomprehensible (I think I may have mentioned this to you before?). What that means is that you will always be explaining yourself clearly, but you will sound like you are singing underwater to most other people. Publish a book of poetry and you will get great popular support, but it won't be because your poems mean to others what they mean to you. Is there a way to win? I think not. This is why the elevated Mystics/Teachers in Islamic Sufism have gone to such great lengths to tell us that this is not an "interpretative" science. There may be successive stages of understanding (which some people might confuse with interpretation) or layers

27quantified meal — these are the phenomena that co-witnessing names. They are not rare. They are the ordi- nary texture of the field, visible only against the background of platform extraction that has made ordinariness extraordinary. ¶ Applications: Co-Witnessing Across Domains The three conditions of co-witnessing, and the phenomenological structure they sustain, are not limited to the face-to-face encounter. Cowitnessing extends across domains — pedagogical, political, ecological — because the field itself extends across these domains. The cluster around Mara Chen’s table exceeds the merely social; it is a pedagogical en- vironment, a political formation, an ecological node. This section traces the extension of co-witnessing into three domains where the platform’s extractive logic has been particu- larly destructive and where the construction of non-extractive alternatives is most urgent.
