Reality, the metaphysical pull of the body economy, of real economy. In this world we don’t float, but grace is a weighty floatingness, a knowing of hell and a seeping up as you give into it, emptiness in faith, a hot air balloon
GROTESQUE, GRACE
Grace, pulseless and horrific, becoming beyond oneself, an object with no eyes and no mirror, giving into all (bow and be simple, bow and be free, pride and bondage all forgetting)
PUPPET BODY, EMPTY BODY
The body transfigured, made empty of itself, hollowed out, become a god, become wood, moved from without, or not at all, inanimation
ECSTATIC BODY
Body in heat of raw sensation, burning body, body made up of flames, brilliant sourcelessness, heat of god, a burning bush
GROTESQUE, GRACE
Grace, pulseless and horrific, becoming beyond oneself, an object with no eyes and no mirror, giving into all (bow and be simple, bow and be free, pride and bondage all forgetting)
PUPPET BODY, EMPTY BODY
The body transfigured, made empty of itself, hollowed out, become a god, become wood, moved from without, or not at all, inanimation
ECSTATIC BODY
Body in heat of raw sensation, burning body, body made up of flames, brilliant sourcelessness, heat of god, a burning bush
THE ABJECT, abjection: horror, nausea, a threatened breakdown in meaning caused by the loss of the distinction between things, waking up to the body as object, another object in a world of objects. In other words, the material world has no hierarchies.
PAIN AND PLEASURE, MASOCHISM AND WAKING UP
God being a sadist. Grotesque world. Making pleasure out of limitation, scarcity, not enough to go around, giving into wounding, letting it calcine, kissing the wounds (they emit light) becoming transfigured. Pain precedes metamorphosis. Good demands material suffering
BODY ECONOMY
Real world scarcity, the first pain is you are a body in a world of superficial value, material value, eating and shitting, drinking and pissing, loving and fucking
LIGHT ECONOMY
A plane of spirit value which is more transcendent and restful, of seek and you shall find, of drink of my water and you shall not thirst, of the lilies do not toil
THE MATERIAL
The physical, the world of physical necessity, impoverished reality
THE TRANSCENDENT
The beyond material, all things from their source
MATERIAL POVERTY
Scarcity, and the metaphorical practice of crafting transcendent value out of common materials through attentive love (embroidery, a meal), a tea stand up in the dusty roads of Turkish mountains. All the wealth of the mediterranean but no money to speak of. A purpose that contains all other purposes
The principle of pain as friendly, as having the power to clear out, become guiding
IMPULSE
Minute sensations of desire that in their diffusion form a static
LITTLE SOLDIERS (COME BACK)
Disordered army, impulses that wander without direction, couple with my thoughts and multiply
DESIRE
The clustering or patterning of impulse which concentrated and removed from its object can become burning, can become ecstacy
HOMING
The return to center, the ability to anchor amidst Ahab’s vast ocean, take breaks, take breaths, return to scale from vast and alienating abstraction
MACHINES OF DESIRE
The physical body of desire, how desire manifests in a world of real things
HORROR, DISORIENTATION
Awakening to the disorder, the worst of reality, god’s betrayal, the martyrdom of christ
THE VERGE OF RETCHING
The sensation of nothing to stand on
CONCRETE (REAL AND HARD)
What you fall on when you don't fall on grace. A flapping of wings. Spirit suicide
HUNGER AND EARNEST LUST
RUSTIC LUSTINESS (NO SELF MOTION, ALL ABOUNDING)
The bounty of desire in stillness
TRANSFIGURATION - STELARC’S PUPPET BODY - MORTIFICATION OF THE FLESH
The body transformed, metamorphosed, made empty and open, sunk into its own pain, hollowed out, become a vessel, become pure
MAGNETIC FLUIDITY
In other words becoming red, channeling and transforming desire, dancing beyond oneself, absolute presence, no barrier between body and objects, law of assumption
DANCE LOGIC, CUTTING OUT THE FRONT BRAIN
Intrinsic motion, riding waves, suave mindlessness, a lack of hesitation, keeping the brain box at a moderate capacity (letting go of thoughts unbound to will, redirecting them gently, without tension, tai chi)
BISEXUAL SEDUCTION
Propagation without boundaries, to fuck and be fucked, lust without principle, a reason to dance, James Dean
NERVOUS HORSE, NERVOUS WHORE
The principle of anxiety. A freezing up, a flightiness, tension, fright from the body real, denial of exchange and retribution, matters of economy
AFRAID OF LOOKING
Downcast eyes, an agitated loss of libido, fear of confrontation, fear of politics, fear of being alive, the plague of women, unadornment of oneself and one’s right to exist
THINGS THAT CAN’T BE TAKEN AWAY
Jane Eyre’s inward treasure, patience, dignity, love, grace. The stoic center, the soul’s courtyard
Engaging with other machine bodies, activating latent potential, play, god’s delight
INFINITE POTENTIAL
The transcendent possibility of all latent becomings, the reality of their existence
CALCINATION, SPIRIT ALCHEMY
The spirit tortured and transfigured, what remains after burning, and here I am moving the stars that are me
THE BODY ALOFT
The body between states, transfigured, heart falling
RAW SENSATION
Schizoid sensation, the giving into impulse of gamblers, and addicts, raw impulse with no filters
MY PHALLIC EYES FIGHT AND FUCK
Danger in asserting you exist, and dignity. Appropriation of male gaze, assertion of spirit, the willingness to fight and to fuck, an independent being, willingness to stand apart, first ingredient of love, and to seduction
CONCENTRATION, ATTENTION AND PRAYER
Meditation as a practice of attention. Concentration as the key to prayer, attention and care, attention and love, attentive love
THE DEW
The release, a return to empty after everything is burnt in its own violence, in other words, your desire for it, your desire to become it, it's becoming of a desiring machine, back to stasis. Post-nut clarity on the level of spirit
BECOMING EYES/BECOMING ANGEL
Becoming eyes, a photographer knows you are your camera, becoming consciousness
BLISS
Heroine. Brushes with paradise: a delicate dependent ecstasy. Comes in small doses, when it happens it comes from something, a needle, a cock, and overwhelms everything. Nothing escapes it. Leaves you feeling emptier when it dissipates, a lonely drug, and the only true solace is the beginning of the feeling, the expectation of its coming on, in other words, a mirage. Small compensation. In the middle of it there is no will. Maybe a way to salvation, if you can touch absolute love, or the will to nothingness, the will to no will, and remember it, but for now it remains painful and nothing else. Perfect quietude, followed by a vast, nearly incomprehensible yearning for the next dose. Something to make everything else bearable.
SEDUCTION GAMES
Personal opacity, push and pull, tango, the pleasure of absence, the necessity of space to presence
ADDLED HAZE
Physiological effects of rat brain. Too long spent in the freezing desert with nothing but crumbs
GRACIOUS ARCHITECTURE
Slow measured spaces forgiving of human frailty, compassionate spaces, or courtyard or a monastery, an old world concern
