Memento Mori

The death of nuance is the hallmark of our age

“You and I are not isolated; we are the result of the total process, the outcome of the whole human struggle, whether we live in India, Japan, or America. The sum total of humanity is you and me. Either we are conscious of that, or we are unconscious of it.”

Jiddu Kristamurti

William Blake

Mock on, Mock on, Voltaire, Rousseau; Mock on, Mock on, 'tis all in vain. You throw the sand against the wind, And the wind blows it back again.

And every sand becomes a Gem Reflected in the beams divine; Blown back, they blind the mocking Eye, But still in Israel's paths they shine.

The Atoms of Democritus And Newton's Particles of light Are sands upon the Red sea shore Where Israel's tents do shine so bright.

Every act of beauty is a revolt against the modern world. 

They poison you and promote gluttony. 

Fast, and exercise.

They tear down homes and burn bridges.

Learn architecture, and build them again. 

To rebel is not to take up arms. 

Just being a sane and well-adjusted individual will do. The fiery hellfire comes later. 

Now, spit in their eyes by making things of marvel, and splendor, by starting with yourself.

Dao De Jing

Dexterity in using the Dao) ，The skilful traveller leaves no traces of his wheels or footsteps; ；the skilful speaker says nothing that can be found fault with or blamed; ；the skilful reckoner uses no tallies; ，the skilful closer needs no bolts or bars, while to open what he has shut will be impossible; 。the skilful binder uses no strings or knots, while to unloose what he has bound will be impossible. ，In the same way the sage is always skilful at saving men, ；and so he does not cast away any man; ，he is always skilful at saving things, 。and so he does not cast away anything. 。This is called 'Hiding the light of his procedure.' ，Therefore the man of skill ；is a master (to be looked up to) by him who has not the skill; ，and he who has not the skill 。is the helper of (the reputation of) him who has the skill. ，If the one did not honour his master, ，and the other did not rejoice in his helper, ，an (observer), though intelligent, might greatly err about them. 。This is called 'The utmost degree of mystery.'

The Eagle soars in the summit of Heaven, The Hunter with his dogs pursues his circuit. O perpetual revolution of configured stars, O perpetual recurrence of determined seasons, O world of spring and autumn, birth and dying The endless cycle of idea and action, Endless invention, endless experiment, Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; Knowledge of speech, but not of silence; Knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word. All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, All our ignorance brings us nearer to death, But nearness to death no nearer to GOD. Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? The cycles of Heaven in twenty centuries Bring us farther from GOD and nearer to the Dust.
