Paper Ideas

Okay, not totally sure yet.
But I'm thinking about this:
The God of reason is usually equated with the sun. This is how Apollo is talked about in Nietzsche (in contrast to Dionysus) and Jesus is often shown in the center of the sun, playing on the pun in English. Blake's creator god was also shown in the center of the sun with his compass in hand, measuring out the dimensions of the universe.
So, if the world of God, dualistically seen as seperate from this world, is the world of light and reason, then this world is the world of darkness, where we see with our vegetable forms, and according to Plato and Blake, we miss the bigger picture.
Elliot says, to let the dark come upon us, and that this is the way to discovery. He also says that the way up is the way down. So, if we can truly be here we will finally acheive the mysterious mental manuever of snatching the Kingdom of God from out the sky and slamming it down to earth: making it real and manifest in all things, because all things are contained here, in the rose: "a lifetime burning in every moment."
When we know this we have gnosis, recognizing the God Abraxas within us and without (with the double meaning of 'outside' and 'lacking'). Perhaps then we can know the wheel from the immovable hub, recognizing the unity of plerosis and kenosis, the yew tree and the rose. After that, Malloy and Mussert (both ghosts trapped in the illusion of the bardo, clinging to the past) can let go, see the remnants of the past in the present and fade, fade, fade away...
