Antoun,
Very much true, but does logic work when the evident response is either psychotic rage or going into the fetal position and crying the world is mean to me?
I suspect many Native Americans and a lot of Africans would trade histories of persecution with the Jews any day.
That's why I think the underlaying psychology and the various belief systems driving it are also worth pursuing.
You tell me I need a publisher and that would be an interesting option to explore, though getting out of my working 48 hours doing mostly physical labor rut, leaving me unmotivated, not to mention medicated for the epilepsy and just generally tripping the transcendence of this light show called reality spaciness. So what if you posed a few of my observations to your psychiatrist?
That as these little, mobile organisms on the surface of this little orb, our sentience functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so our experience of time is as the present going past to future, which is the basis for all culture and civilization, as narrative, yet the evident reality is that activity and the resulting change turns future to past. Like Apollo's Chariot, we are looking at it backward.
The energy goes past to future, because the patterns generated come and go, future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall.
That consciousness goes past to future, while thoughts go future to past. Though it is the gut processing the energy and the head processing the information.
Might that interest those professionally interested in the mind?
Then add that monotheism tries to conflate particular ideals as absolutes, but that's a category error. The universal is the elemental, so a spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell.
I suspect some moderator on Substack understood the implications for Israel's Grand Purpose. Leaving me left to Medium.
Heck, even Haaretz posts my comments;
It got 10 up votes and 4 down, so there are still plenty of rational Haaretz readers.
Just trying to start conversations.
