Pictorial 57


So, the illusory reality – and the future of proselytes the likes of Bezos (who drops his wife at the drop of a hat) – is a logical fallacy that supposes the universe to be ordered, as opposed to having the attributes of a body (symmetry, proportion).

The fallacy in part results from the fact that the heads (of acolytes) can’t deny their own physique, and the result seems to be physical boredom (see Grace Slick quote Hyborian Bridge 62/1)


Staying with Le Mepris (Pictorial 56) the sheer symmetry of Bardot (as Penelope) is breathtaking. There’s a scene which cuts from a playhouse in Italy, where Bardot is wearing a black wig, to a boat in Capri, where she is resplendent in her golden locks. Truly a Mediterranean goddess brought to life!
 
In the Ymir myth “hair=plants” (here seaweed)
It’s our universe of the warrior and the maiden (priest and farmer) - also Tarot, physical/psychic destiny, lifedeath - which has been stolen by the carrion-feeders of the earth (see Ymir Pictorial 56) doubling as scientists. How can I say that? Because we all live on Earth and we all need to utilize its resources.
It’s futile to maintain one lives in one’s brain when all the visual signs are that we live on Earth and are constantly burrowing into it. In other words, scientists act like carion-feeders while posing as logical thinkers.
I know this can all sound terribly abstract; here’s one example that was in the news. Grand Teton National Park plans to utilize phone masts so that, “You’re denying people the ability to disconnect” (Jeff Ruch, Pacific dept of PEER). The installations should set the tone for US parks in the future.
This plan is just one example of the disregard of the physical reality of Earth for the mental unreality of the head. As I believe I said previously (Hyborian Bridge 37) the head is electrochemical impulses; everything, bar nothing, we experience is nothing but that.
What has to count much more is our appreciation of physical reality as a thing in itself outside of our heads. Now, how do we know it’s outside of our heads? Again, by the fact that it’s not ordered – not strictly verifiable – and in short is not part of the Apollonian order.
Hence, it is part of the hunt, the American Indian tradition, the cowboy tradition of steering, the dirt and stench of the range. The other side to that equation is the fairyland of gambolling kids in rosebuds of May. The cycle of lifedeath.

The way to get out of the head is simply to saddle-up. It’s as simple and seemingly impractical as that!
 
My Darling Clementine (spot the cow bones and vultures)
People merging with landscape in the stockades of yore. The scene invites cattle to stampede into the frame. The filth and noises and ripe aromas are not to everyone’s taste, to be sure
The city has its place, but the country is where the body connects to the rugged grandeur of the body of nature. Opposed to both are the carrion-feeders/fact-feeding acolytes who live only in their heads.
Instead of the visual simplicity of a symmetrical universe, they supply a non-physical universe of algorithms and DNA. The fallacy of this is that, even as the head becomes less aware of its own physicality, it relies ever-more on the physical resources of Earth, as an oblivious carrion-feeder.
There is no action inside the head, and this is what a primeval landscape represents. The clouds, the cliffs, the crags, the wooden posts, the damsel in billowing skirts.
The land of earth and flesh and the primeval cow is original and therefore strong and pure. What “they” want is for the body no longer to merge into primeval reality, and therefore they aim to change the head to become ever less physically aware. This unreality, the hall-of-mirrors, has the illusion of truth, very persuasive to the perspective head.
The answer to this is really to use the head in the opposite way, introspectively, to dream and connect with ancient signs in our subconscious. These signs match to the body of the physical landscape, the fierce symmetry of bovine herds, the harsh flatness of the plain, crags and scudding clouds (all together).
The harsh simplicity is strong and pure and feeds our dreams and reason to live (the lyric “Feed your head” in White Rabbit one assumes to mean introspectively, dreamlike, rather than factual/political).
