That was during my life as a winged Bactrian camel. Prior to that, this Seeker for the AbSOLute had been Shamanically reBirthed in plAces like Men-an-Tol in Cornwall, Brugh na Boinne in Ireland, Delos, Delphi, the SacRed Isle of Crete, & Via the PyRAmidion (sPeaking of eYes!) atop the Giza plateau. Suffice it to say that the Journey continues . . .

In the immediate Wake{-up call} of be{e}ing gifted me very own Quantum Tuning Fork, I encountered this pasSage (for you to make of what you will) :: "Like a knocking that wakes {hArk!} us frOM our sleep, an iMage would pierce the dArkness of our ecstasy . . . perhaps a great horned owl sitting with yellow eYes on the roof-tree of a barn, or a meteor which sHot cRAckling aCross the firmament. Then it seemed to us as if we had been endoWed with a new faculty with which to see the land; we looked out with eYes which haVe the power to see the gold & crystals{!} in gleaming veins deep under the vitreous e'Art'h" (frOM p. 3 of Ernst Ju{e}nger's "On the Marble Cliffs," which was originally pub. in German in the watershed year of 1939, & sOMehow or other mangaged to eVade the censors of Hitler's Reich, in spite of the fact that the novel is a thinly -- but subtly -- guised critique of the bone-headed regime in question; its author was still doing good work well into his late 90s, haVing liVed to be{e} 103! Yet another 'telling' detail about Herr Ju{e}nger :: He was subsequently to publish a novel entitled "The Glass Bees;" as tRAns. by Louise Bogan in conjunction with Elizabeth Mayer; New York Review Bks., 2000; orig. pub. in 1957 & tRAns. into English in 1960). Ju{e}nger was also the inspiRAtor of Martin Heidegger's seminal "The 'Quest'ion of Be{e}ing" (1956), which is centRAlly conCERNed with the 'Nihilism which results frOM daemonic technological dOMination,' leastWays according to a footnote @ the bottOM of p. 33. On the 1st page of Heidegger's 'Dis'cusSion of Ju{e}nger's proVocation, Heidegger references the 'zero point' ('Nullpunkt,' auf the original Deutsch -- analogies with Georg Cantor's 'Aleph-Null' cOMe ineVitably to mind & heArt) & echoes NietzsChe's warning aBout the 'ka'rmic consequences when the highest values becOMe devalued. In other words, 3 Cheers for the ongoing Quest for the tRAnsfinite Within !!! To hArk 'ba'ck yet further to Sophiologist eXtRAordinaire Jacob Boehme (whOM we briefly alluded to YESterday), "God {aka 'Sophia'} can be found only in the depths of one's own heArt." And, yet again al'read'y, "eXistence is a stream of Fire: All Life is Fire" (Magister Boehme in his post-HeRAclitian mOde). What say we 'close' on this note frOM Boehme's "Mysterium Magnum" :: "The visible world is the symbol of the spiritual invisible world." May Rilke's 'Bees of the Invisible' continue to Be{e} with You . . . -- Your Friend, DaViD (suggesting 'eVe'r so subliminally that you giVe Jorge Luis Borges's 'The Aleph' a close -- by which I mean 'interstitial' -- {re}read) . . . Keeping in Mind & HeArt the afOrereferenced Boehme's inSight that FreedOM resides in dArkness & 'thirsts for Light' . . .
