e sar a un progresso.

The Medium of Intervention
So the task is to produce "dissensus," for transforming ourselves not into self-acclaimed walking corpses, but into sacrificial victims for a ritual devoted to the reestablishment of contradictory experiences, which is what culture should be about.

Equal Temperament Washes Clothes
Equal temperament reminds one of the truth; just intonation is the truth.

Sentipensante & Aeviternity
SENTIPENSANTE
thinking with the heart
Feelings and thoughts operating in perfect concert.
The word was first used by Eduardo Galeano, Uruguayan author, quoting some fishermen on the South American coast.
AEVITERNITY
a state of temporal presence that lies outside of time
...and therefore outside of the changing universe.
The concept comes from Christian mythology, as the celestial home of angels.

Monk v. Holiday
A MONK is a dark area on a printed page, caused by uneven inking of a plate or type. The term derives from the pre-printing press days of Europe, when publishing consisted of monks, hand-copying texts, and the occasional splotches of ink were inevitable.
HOLIDAYS are light spots in a coat of paint. As it was explained to me, it comes from the good-humored sentiment, "The painter must have been taking a holiday when this part of the wall was being painted."

The Illusion of the Central Node
Spend all time in wandering state
unintentionally in-incomprehensible
maze corridor.
A node is found.
Convincing as center. From here, the spokes.
The Illusion of the Central Node is reborn.
This one reads:
"To maintain production level is equal to spiritual attainment."
By what shades & tempers shall we know you?
Are you Destined or are you Developing a Purpose?
No conscious worries. Surrender expectations for success.
Highest assignment: "The Founding Monk."
The Work of the Zealot,
the Opportunity of Living provides
the answer: the Work of the Way!
Still, other hallways,
Echoes.
New Nodes.
Dazy Ratravels.
Argie Mendido.
PaPsqua PaPsqua.
Utee! Ra.
