The Dizziness of Things Unsaid

Post by Soul_of_Shu »

Not having bathed in the luxurious articulate oratory of the ever-entertaining Terence McKenna for quite a while, I'd imagined that I had surely listened to all the offerings on youtube, but it seems not, as this one that popped up in the feed is new to these ears, wherein he eventually, after meandering through the history of esoteric ideas, gets around to riffing on the premise that, paraphrasing, in the ever-present origin was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos is God. And if other TM fans have also not come across it before, suffice to say, IMO, you're in for a marvellous treat, despite it abruptly ending in mid-sentence, as if the tape on some old recording device suddenly ran out ...

Here out of instinct or grace we seek
soulmates in these galleries of hieroglyph and glass,
where mutual longings and sufferings of love
are laid bare in transfigured exhibition of our hearts,
we who crave deep secrets and mysteries,
as elusive as the avatars of our dreams.
