Put these items in play while Joseph Campbell
urges you to follow your bliss:
“Imagination is more important
than knowledge.” Einstein.
In an interview with jailhouse reporters,
Charles Manson points to his swastika
forehead and says: “You people don’t
know where I live—places you can’t
even imagine.”
“The doctrine of hatred must be
preached, as the counteraction
of the doctrine of love, when that
pules and whines,” says Emerson:
“I shun father and mother and wife
and brother when my genius calls
me,”
Kids in class quote Nietzsche:
“It’s Beyond Good & Evil,”
Sam!
“How can we wait without idols?”
asks Auden Without representation,
without standing-for’s, signs and
symbols? Without Reasons Why?
Explanations? Blame-ations: e-
scapegoats carrying the burden
of our becausality and affect?
Do not think that I came to
bring peace on the earth;
I did not come to bring peace,
but a sword. For I came to
set a man against his father,
and a daughter against her
mother, and a daughter-in-law
against her mother-in-law; and
a man’s enemies will be the
members of his household. He
who loves father or mother
more than Me is not worthy of
Me; and he who loves son or
daughter more than Me is not
worthy of Me. And he who does
not take his cross and follow after
Me is not worthy of Me. He who
has found his life will lose it, and
he who has lost his life for My
sake will find it," says Jesus,
as far as I can tell: a gospel
in a nutshell.
“I write every day
without hope
and without
despair,” claims
Isek Dinesen.
Wait’ll they get a load of this!
says Sophocles: It’ll purgem
of fear and also pity & it’ll
separate pain from suffering
so they don’t keep collapsing,
conflating, & confusing them.
no more..
I won’t budge from under
this tree until I’m
enlightened.
Gautama.
Every kid with a laptop is the
smartest kid in class. It’s not
what you know that counts,
it’s whether you can put it
in play.
