Mechanical (4)

 As a way of tying things up, if one assumes that empirical reason enters a phenomenological world of electromagnetism, the truth can become lie. This is because observations are verified for an illusory reality, the hyper-accuracy of machines and variable time (see The Airtight Garage.)

Invariable time contains within it the balance of sun and moon, Apollo and Artemis or the spin of Earth. Mechanical truth or the zodiac. 

"Wait until they have mastered the basic movements and can do them without conscious thought." (Dumarest in The Coming Event, page 24)

The illusory reality distorts natural rhythms with calculation (head). The body needs no calculation (see movement, 1/2 Essay 5) and reacts with no thought (or beyond the speed of thought, Bruce Lee.) Freedom of body produces an order that is proportionate. 

The large-scale similarities of the world are proportionate symbols (constellations) of the rhythms of desire and personal reaction (to events.)

Desire and personal reaction are distorted by a calculated reality (the dragon of news.) When Apollo is part of the balance of life, the fertile universe of revival exists in Dionysus, degradation that revives yearly with the debasement and lustiness of orgiastic ritual.

"Degeneration?"

She nodded then explained. "It happens when a person gets too old or has lived too long in dreams. For a while he seems to be rational, then physical stress causes a mental relapse. For him now this is another fantasy.." (The Coming Event, page 50)

The guy is confused because that is the nature of degradation. Renewal is a psychic necessity that modernity appears to deny. 'Facts' exist in a bizarre reality of distorted confusion where there is neither fruitful nor facile activity.

Confusion is sown by the news (words) of empirical observation of the illusory reality of variable time (sterile calculation) and number so persuasive to the ego (head) enmeshed in the electronic system.
