“Kant is a legislator, Fichte a judge, Schelling a seer. But Hegel has only one desire, that of appropriation. He returns constantly to the mysteries of eating.”

— Hans Urs von Balthasar, Prometheus: Studien zur Geschichte des Deutschen Idealismus

This might be my favorite bit of commentary on German philosophy. It's just funny. Will somebody feed these German philosophers?

In particular, paraphs some form of genetic RE-engineering or transhumanist implant that is able to circumvent the Demiurgic ground bequeathed to us by the Shevirah– the irrational, exploitative & caste-based will to power restlessly seething within us, whose muddled, half-awake, myopically egotistical thinking condemns us all to the prison of perpetual strife, dissatisfaction, and ignorance/misunderstanding both of ourselves and others.

Either way you cut it, the existence of MIND is irrefutable, whether it’s in you or outside you, making either the Universe or you (most likely both) a God/dess.

The fruit of the tree of the knowledge of I and Not-I: The 'I' is both a curse and a blessing!

Immanuel Kant:

"The fact that the human being can have the representation “I” raises him infinitely above all the other beings on earth."

...and Jesus kneeled down in the sand, and this is what he wrote:

I...
N...eed to
R...emember who
I... AM

It is the presence of that transcendental aspect alone that makes us unique among all the others beings in nature, and failure to pursue ideals posited by that Sophianic will/factor in us is to disown it, and therefore, to be less than fully human as transcendentally moral, transcendentally rational, transcendentally imaginative beings.

Despite receiving a first-rate German-European education, and me getting your typical run of the mill, crappy, middle-class American education, according to we would have one thing in common:

We are both intuitive introverted types.

Explains a lot.

Conclusion: Only flourishing, prospering, overfull, overjoyed life in pursuit of the Sophianic heights can make such beauty possible – the will to beauty/truth/justice, the will to meaning, that is, the will to ERECT a Pleroma in the Kenoma.

Mind is the hidden Mistress of our reality,
And we are all Sophianically striving artists in The Theater and its Gnostic Double.

4/4

Conclusion: The Transcendental Subject/Mind and its acts of synthesis – bringing order(s) to pandemonium(s) - reigns supreme as the hidden Mistress of our reality, and its finely-tuned laws, constants, and parameters of that synthesis form the Roman (roaming!) Empire(s) of our ever evolving, ever incomplete, ever “collapsing” Horizen-ed/Horus-lined Universe!

4/4

Tribute

Space, time, energy, matter - these tell a story about our Universe, a story full with meaning, a story that was meaning-full from the very beginning, a story that bears witness to the Mind in that meaning that permeates every aspect of our universe, and as Gnostics we want to understand that story as best as we can.

Mind reigns supreme as the hidden Mistress of our reality, and its finely-tuned laws, constants, and parameters form the Roman Empire of our Universe!
