James Hillman
EGALITARIAN TYPOLOGIES
VERSUS THE PERCEPTION OF THE UNIQUE

“The kind of movement Olson urges is an inward deepening of the image,
an in-sighting of the superimposed levels of significance within it.
This is the very mode that Jung suggested for grasping dreams —
not as a sequence in time, but as revolving around  a nodal complex.”

See as well "True Grids" (Log24, August 9, 2018).

The Wikipedia "Truchet tiles" article shown above illustrates Hillman's
"superimposed levels of significance."

“Weird Pharaonic Monument”

Filed under: General — m759 @ 8:11 am

Epigraph for Cormac McCarthy —

"When I got to high school the first place I went was to the library. It was just a small room with a desk and maybe a thousand books. Maybe not that. But among them was a volume of Berkeley. I dont know what it was doing there. Probably because Berkeley was a bishop. Well. Almost certainly because Berkeley was a bishop. But I sat in the floor and I read A New Theory of Vision. And it changed my life. I understood for the first time that the visual world was inside your head. All the world, in fact. I didnt buy into his theological speculations but the physiology was beyond argument. I sat there for a long time. Just letting it soak in."

Centrality Continued

Alicia — "Gödel never says outright that there is a covenant to which all of mathematics subscribes but you get a clear sense that the hope is there. I know the allure. Some shimmering palimpsest of eternal abidement. But to claim that numbers somehow exist in the Universe with no intelligence to enable them does not require a different sort of mathematics. It requires a different sort of universe." 

Psychiatrist — "Is there such a universe?"

Their correspondences. We probably dont want to start
down that road."

Another Opening of Another Show

"To die will be an awfully big adventure."
— Peter Pan


in "An Awfully
Big Adventure"

On this date in 1904, "Peter Pan" opened to great applause at the Duke of York's theatre in London. A cinematic sequel, "An Awfully Big Adventure," is illustrated at left and below.  I have always felt this film's soundtrack should include the classic Mac Davis song "Girl, you're a hot-blooded woman-child…."
