Working on Empowermentalism (Domestic Violence, next)

Dear Dialecticians and Colleagues Across the Curriculum  

        CHOOSE Your Frame of Minding: :

       Ludic (ludicrous): to be In Play,
                       In Game. )
 
     Illudic (illusion, delusion): to be Out    
       of IT, not In Play, not In Game
 
Prelude:  prior to the play, prior to the play.
Interlude: in the middle of play and game  
Postlude:  afterglow.
  
                              ***
 



 
 
Let these 2 (mandala & straight arrow)  stand
for the “constellational” and the “linear” aspects
of Un-Conscious Conscious Being (es, esse)
 
You sit in my class or any class or you’re driving
to Texas, say,  or talking to  friends and YOU are
“at once”  in a number of cerebral “places”: yester-
day, tomorrow, at a concert,  making out, feeding
pigs, kayaking, at the Hartford library: constellating
a constellation even as you take notes, pay some
efficient attention and plan to be a  veterinarian
nourishing your straight arrow of purpose, aim,
goal—move on   down the road, running for
president.
 
Do see the difference? 
The relationship? 
The meta-relationship between
Difference and Relationship?
 
Turn IT way  up. Separate. Polarize. Characterize.
Mythologize  (Connie Constellation and Larry
Linear  crash into each other at the Cross Roads.
Will they work it out?  Just get along? )
 

Imagine.  If you can. 
 
Which is BOSS?  Which rules the roost?
Which is the  Dominant Pair of Dimes? 
Which do  you salute and serve?
Connie or Larry.  & so what?
What difference does it make:
your respect, your privileging
of one or the other?
 
                   ***
Logic
IF all myn die
AND Socrates is a myn
THEN Socrates dies.
 
Analogic
Grass dies
Myn die
Myn are grass
 .     
What’s the difference?
The relationship?
The Meta-Relationship
between the difference
and the relationship?

Which process do you favor?
Most use/abuse (trust, salute):
Lancelot Logic or Anna  Analogic? 
No, seriously. I’m asking.
 
You don’t love my tidy either/ors?
You like to keep IT complicated.
A muddle? Ambiguous? Ambivalent?
All the time or some times? Why?
 
(IT, I said.  Do I have to be
spelling IT out?)

xxxooo, Sam
