LE MEPRIS Hyborian
Bridge 15
Cosmic
spontaneity – the wilful Poseidon – and the resourceful adventurer Ulysses,
versus modern neurotic man (Paul) who only thinks. These themes are a very big
part of Godard’s film, starring Bardot as Camille/Penelope, Paul’s wife.
There’s a scene in this musical sequence of La Bardot framed by a golden halo of hair – truly a Mediterranean goddess sprung to life.
The famous pout
responds to maleness in the shape of producer Prokosch on the island of Capri.
Her physical honesty and Paul’s neurotic mental games culminate in desertion
and death.
Savage honesty
in a sense is sensuality, virility, femininity – over which the enigmatic Greek
statues watch. Dishonesty is in the two-faced words which Paul – in all good
faith as Prokosch’s screenwriter – spouts like a geyser gone to the dogs (as
has Jean-Luc, apparently, but I won’t mention BB).
The neurotic man
spouts words, while Bardot pouts and lashes out with savage scorn. The film is
almost like a template for the war between words of no meaning – in a parallel
reality of numbers (or the dollar) – and the world of physical reality that
words may aptly describe.
Paul represents
the first, while Ulysses and Camille/Penelope represent the second. Bardot
represents honest sex, while Paul represents hedging and vacillation(one scene
has him perusing a Roman pornographic book, as it happens).
The dishonesty
of Paul’s attitude is easy to discern in the modernday corporate boardroom.
There’s for example the whole area of robot sex, with CES in Las Vegas hosting
sex-tech with quote, “No sleaze.. no lewd language and no anatomically correct
demonstration.”
“Our branding
is not that way anyway. We really try to speak about this more as a wellness
and lifestyle product and just get people to integrate it into their lives, so
for us that wasn’t really a problem at all,”says Braicks. (DT)
Words, words,
words. All she means is they are dishonestly selling sleazy products! After
all, it’s not a moral business; the reason one used to go to sleazy joints in
Soho is that it’s a sleazy business. Straight sex is more moral even when it’s
sleazy. The purification process at CES is yet another sign of hygiene-machines
that are misnamed as moral as opposed to dirty (which they are).
All of this is
really a brand of robotics which is just a brand of VR, all of which inhabits a
parallel world of words without the physical reality of moral meaning (body).
The people at CES like Braicks and Liz Klinger, founder of “data-driven
vibrator company” Lioness, say (accurately) that pleasure is part of human
behaviour. However, they are branding it like any other tech-product in a
hygienic universe of rational robots.
The truth is
that a primeval serpent underlies all this hi-tech shininess which is based on a
false premise that everything can be clean (as opposed to dirty). The whole
trend of modern technology is to replace one reality – which is sensual,
virile, feminine and has ambiance and dirt – with another, which has
information.
It’s irrelevant
to “them” whether the information is to do with pleasure or the dollar.
Everything to them is the same since they are looking through “the mirror of
nothingness”; lines of light, reflections in solid-state circuitry (ones and
zeros).
In ancient
Greece, Euclid was a very small percentage proportion of classical reality.
Actually, Euclid was circa 350 BC or about 100 years post-classical, to be
accurate. Today, Euclidean space – meaning light or electro-impulses – is
rapidly approaching 100%, if you assume everything human is attached to it (ie
the head). The psychotic and the numerical become one with the compulsive ego, and
death to grace of movement and form (body).
That world is
induced and therefore lacks the cardinal virtue of sensuality, virility,
femininity, the ambiance of dirt, the spontaneity of movement and proportionate
balance. Dance. If we were living in a Hyborian kingdom, we would have every
reason to suppose a sorcerous hand was at work. The hand that negates savage
beauty and straps it instead to rational machines.
The technology
is aimed at the head at the expense of ambient reality that has sensual
leanings; I mean sleazy joints.
Hyboria has all
of that in large doses. If it can be seen as something of a reaction against
straight line progress, it can now be seen that straight lines inevitably lead
to the killing of life as a spontaneous dance, and its replacement by
information seen through “the mirror of nothingness” (induction of
hygiene-machines, misuse of words).
Competing in
this parallel reality delivers a strong disadvantage to spontaneous acts of any
kind – including original thinking. What “they” say is almost the reverse of
reality. Only by being non-progressive does one retain one’s original identity
and freedom to dance to a tune of the stars.
Meanwhile,
overhaul of PETA’s environmental checks at the White House:
“The US can’t
compete and prosper if a bureaucratic system holds us back from building what
is needed”. Trump is no
original thinker and his brand of Big Competition accelerates the attachment of
the head to smart surroundings, from hyperloops to higher streets.
In the process,
archaic forms – from rutted streets to cowboy trails – loses its meaning and
use in the realm of acts (Hyborian Bridge 89). Free competition kills use,
which is like rotted fruit: the use changes and becomes a new type of strength
in the field. Competition will replace the active use of rotten fruit – or compost
or dung – with the misuse of words dominated by smart surroundings.
This is the
electric-green future where electricity becomes the new green (Tales of
Faith 2). Archaic form is linked to the activities of the body – human or
animal – in town-and-country. Competition kills any vestige of this body use,
and the head reaps the reward in domination by the sorcery of information –
robots, VR, robot-sex (see Zappa Tales of Faith 13, Weird 3)
Competition
kills the harmonic resonance of places that just exist side-by-side; the
natural state-of-affairs since physical movements and trade will tend to
establish a balance. The Mediterranean trading empire of Venice, say.
There is a
difference between movement for the sake of trade, which takes place in the
physical world of the body, and financial movements which take place in the
numerical universe of the compulsive head!
The first has
natural resonance relating to physical contact by sea-trade to distant shores;
the second has almost no physical reality! Resonance occurs also between
heavenly bodies, since it is just a natural; consequence of physical distance.
Vincent of UVS (Hyborian
Bridge 48 and various) sent me this link on the Fibonacci sequence of planets,
a series which is found in radial branching of leaves round stems.
Resonance also
has to exist in the proportions of a body, as it grows in the womb. It stands
to reason, as a resonance is a stable vibration. Does the resonance have any
relation to the heavenly bodies? This can only possibly be a factor if gravity
vibrates in aether, as Vincent’s website postulates. Aether is a universal
substance, so all things vibrate in it.
The entire Solar System oscillates with its
barycenter, and thus its motion is transferred to all Solar System objects via
its encapsulated aetheric medium. This resonant could cause all its planetary
objects to generate sound with the vibration. This is not a conventional way of
audible sound transmission.

How can these
harmonics possibly be connected? Well, the womb is zero-G (relative to Earth,
in a watery float) and is known to be affected by lunar tides. Water in
homeopathy works the inverse of normal, by having more effect the more dilute
the solution (of the molecule). Is it possible water has a cosmic connection
via aether?
H-bonds consist
of hydrogen, which is the smallest atom, consisting of only a proton and an
electron. H-bonds oscillate sympathetically, so a reasonable question is, is
water intrinsically harmonic? Cosmically, Mars, Earth/Moon, Venus have a
Fibonacci harmonic. They could vibrate sympathetically with the next planet,
the vast Jupiter.. and so forth.
There is a
numerical connection here, related to harmonics, almost the opposite of “data”.
One is the graceful body, the other is the compulsive head. There is a harmonic
tendency in nature, and it clearly is the opposite of competition, which is
mainly aimed at the head and not the proportionate body, or archaic form in the
realm of acts. Movements of figures in a space (Weird 11)
