– I must continue to co-mentor Chellam, my life-partner (along with her) even when there is no formal SFG work going on…

Do I let her mentor me too? Do I really believe in mutuality even in this?

Why do I prefer the term “life-partner” to “wife”?

– Recluse >> eccentric ~ maverick ~ contemplative ~ rebel ~ artist ~ prophet ~ autodidact

WOW!

– Let my life be just me & the world, with no others in between……!

And in my relationships, let there be nothing of the world in between.

– The Cross – Christ is mortal, unlike Jesus……! 

I believe that the Cross is a fundamental discontinuity &/or transformation in the Gospel narrative. It should NOT be seen as just an overcoming continuation of what went before, beyond the barrier of death.

On the Cross, the Messiah/spirit dies, and the Man/flesh resurrected!

This inverted spirituality is the greatest legacy of Christianity.

– Hallowed ~ hollowed

(w)hole

– The discourse of silence 

Images, things, ideas & words

The politics of experience 

Automatic writing

Mechanical imaginations

lien 

sublation 

parergon

re-spacing 

unreading 

Vivisection of texts

Performative thinking

Formal experimentation

Exorbitant works

Unashamedly contradictory

From philosophical literature to literary philosophy 

– How can you prevent spirituality from becoming accessorized by the prevalent order?

– Alternative histories

– I think the next stage of my (d)evolution has begun!
Medicine >> theology >> spirituality/ministry >> self-education
No more small group meetings, seminars, retreats, online forums, etc. for me! Spontaneous one-on-one conversations are the only interpersonal interaction that will remain.
I am gonna focus on a purely inward work from now onwards, at least for the next 1 year.
This work will have no (obvious/immediate) social dimension.
There will be no formal structure or fixed role except my constantly changing personal/private routine.

– Time to descend into the abyss of my own nothingness/darkness/emptiness.
And see if I can survive this death……
Distinguish:
Pessimism/realism
&

Depression/resignation
