#demystification

[findepartida]

Being aware enables us to critically examine our actions to see what is needed so that we can give care, be responsible, show respect, and indicate a willingness to learn. Understanding knowledge as an essential element of love is vital because we are daily bombarded with messages that tell us love is about mystery, about that which cannot be known.

Lucretius, De Rerum Natura (Book II)

The philosophical recommendation to suppress and/or avoid pain are premature evaluations. 

Book II speaks concerning much more formidable obstacles to pleasure. There are disturbances which inhibit and counter pleasure in ways pain alone never could. Phantoms, superstitions, terrors, the fear of death -these smother pleasure. The creation of an agitated soul is the picture of humanity; one more terrified of troubling transmissions than scared of pain.

As Deleuze says "it is the disturbance of the soul which increases suffering, renders it invincible." Lucretius bears an astute insight. He derives it from a meditation on infinity, more on that tomorrow.

Lucretius, De Rerum Natura (Book I)

This book is a masterful work in demystification, non-organic vitalism, and affirmation. It’s difficult to not see exactly why Deleuze includes Lucretius in his counter-history of philosophy.

Here, he concludes the nature of things can’t be undifferentiated and endlessly divisible.

The nature of things is coordination and disjunction. One thing produces another by changing its nature. There is neither identity nor contradiction -much less negation. There's only resemblances and differences. The power of generation comes from "connections, weight and impact, clash and motion."
