"The cultural contribution of critical consciousness...
has been to see that no model of reality gets such a
hold on our minds as to seem exclusively true and become
a dogma." --Thomas McEvilley
Can I make this clear to the West German Polizei?
This is my job, sir.

Artaud again:
"A KIND OF CONSTANT LEAKAGE of the normal level of reality."
"IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD that all of intelligence is only
a vast contingency and that one can lose it."
"WHAT IS DIFFICULT is to find one's place and to re-establish
communication with one's self."
"WHAT I LACK is words that correspond with every minute
of my mental state."

-- from THE NERVE METER (1925)

 

But enough of someone else's thought. "One must not let in
too much literature." --Artaud. Must the Surgeon General
begin placing warnings on books, monsieur?
Whose thought is whose thought.
When thought ends up being the means of production in the
21st Century, will I own mine? I hope not to find it some-
day in a barrel, swimming in its own blood.

 

May 6, 1984
