Beautiful and thought-provoking words as always Thomas. Let's attempt all the resolutions all at once! Excitement of the secrets will bleed as confused and frustrated faces frown.

An excellent suggestion poetically put. Can't wait to hear about your consciousness adventures ...

Wonderful and useful definition of language / consciousness / magic / romance.

1: oh dear, "I" is like machine gunfire through most of what I write lately. My feeling is that you have to either completely avoid, or completely embrace, in a kind of Brechtian way, using "I". Treat it with awareness and exagerration, like a puppet or a clunky wooden mask channeling consciousness in a ceremony in Africa.

4. I heard some surrealists took naps with their chin resting on a spoon.

7. one of the most important juncture points in my life happened when I would have said 'I don't understand', but didn't. Big magic indeed... thanks for the reminder.

Slow response, sorry, I love your comments. The chin / spoon method sounds painful. But then Breton was a bit of a sadist. I hope to hear about your 'don't understand' story at some point.

Wow, some intriguing, and no doubt difficult, word & thought experiments to try. Though i say “I don’t understand” twice the recommended amount daily without much illumination! Must try harder clearly.
