If we accept that absence is secondary to presence, then what do we make of what resides betwixt? We find ourselves in the realm of ghosts — a domain where the dead often don’t know they are dead.

To seek wisdom is to discover mankind. To think of what lies beyond the flesh is the defining activity of living an optimal life — for the metaphysical begins just outside of the skin. It is within the cathedral of the body that the intersections between biology and society can be explored.
There is no use of residing in heaven if, while on earth, the will to seek wisdom is absent. After all, is the body not a cathedral? As above, so below remains the transpositional decree of on earth, as it is in heaven.
We are surrounded by utopias — or so-called perfect sites which can never be significant places. The perfect presentation of these unreal spaces fills us with an uncanny dread concerning the attrition of our lives. These places are therefore like mirrors, for they are placeless places that are indicators of our existence which lacks being.
The envier does not want to correct an injustice, for to do so involves presenting oneself with courage by confronting an opponent. The envier seeks to remain invisible. By doing so their envy remains unseen.
It is of utmost importance that the philosopher avoids hubris, and takes all opponents seriously, for darkness always appears to reveal a hidden thing. To refuse to engage with an angel of light in a duel to the finish is to invite total death. We must accept the dialectic relationship between friend and foe.
All repressed creativity seeks an outlet. Without an outlet, creativity festers as a pathogen within our beings. The poetic creativity that remains unconscious manifests as a psycho-spiritual disease that we remain blind to.
Dangerously, humanity has abandoned their role as regulators of technological unconcealment by becoming mere participants in the unconcealment of the fires of technology by abandoning their role as poietic creators of technological instruments that aid in the advancement of species.
Mankind finds itself surrounded by a group of technocrats who are concerned with the installation of technology within the human organism. In post-industrial societies, man moves from being a consumer of proliferated technology as technological instruments to being rendered an actual medium for the proliferation of technology.
When darkness reigns we all wish for new skies. We must learn that all skies are reflections of the terrestrial cathedral we inhabit. To look up to heaven is to begin the descent into the labyrinth. We enter heaven through our own descensus ad inferos. It is an eternal shame that we have created societies that celebrate the ritual killings of fathers.
If man is noble in nature then it is imperative that earth be reestablished as cathedral and temple, not simply inhabited as domicile.
The neglect of mentors. What a disservice one does to a pupil when they neglect to encourage and foster the development of a superior nature, once identified in a lost aristocrat.
Man is always a measurement of the universe. Even in our opposition to hubris and solipsism, we must remain conscious of our position in the universe. Humanity does not need a reason to exist, for it is a reason unto itself — an axiomatic element of existence and being.

Those who hide are not necessarily evil. The noble philosopher is often forced into an occultic mode of being to escape the prosecution of the mob.
The internal archetypes start with the shadow. The shadow often begins where actions and intentions do not align. Within the shadow lies all dark negations. Embarking on a search for self is where the confrontation with the shadow occurs. This confrontation can more times than not end in the possession of the ego by the shadow, creating a monster.
Let us consider this — body and world are not the exclusive enclosures of Being. Despite our essence being more than body and world, we must take a first step and reclaim the body which we have been conditioned to neglect and destroy.
The movement towards a threat often involves the predatory instinct to extinguish the threat. This courageous disposition is often brought about by a declaration which foretells of a heroic nature.
Man is as he moves. We must not discriminate against the wisdom in somatic psychology. The nervous system is a great revealer of what a man is. The body is not only a dominance hierarchy, but it is an archive. It is the archive of information and history that informs existence, guiding one to a more authentic being.
When the second face of the philosopher arises, the crowd will always slander that face as demonic. This libel is a projection of their own resentful nature and an attempt to destroy what they could never build.
