Dear Geisha and Pip,
Thank you for your responses. It warms me to feel that my
expressions of 'A gape in natural inclusional logic', through which the 'self'
can breathe, can bring some respite in the face of oppression and hope for
reformation. That is indeed the 'hole point', as in the poems written below
during and just after the ALARA World Congress.
Warmest
Alan
----------------------------
Inventure – Finding the hole in One
To ask where’s the gap in
one’s logic
Is to find the logic in
one’s gap
An entry
place
For breath to
take
In where there’s
warmth
To melt the
ice
That binds the
self
The one in the
many
Or the many in
one
That calls itself
collective
In
solitude
Where there’s no way to
reach
Out from
within
Or outwith in
To where the
song
Can
sing
In resonant
key
Through the hole of
reciprocal welcome
Where the leverage point is
agape
………….
Helter-Skelter
The Return of the Native
Imagine yourself
Born under cover of darkness
In the shade of an umbrella
Pierced by peepholes
Into an other-worldly radiance
That shines on coralline ocean
Lapping up the shifting shores of landscape
Flowing in rocks and water
Air and fire streams
Breathed in and breathed out
By life itself
As endless variety
In this place you call home
That holds and caresses you
With open arms
But there, at the edge of your stare
Where your home finds its limit horizon
Glinting with cut-glass precision
Is the baseline of prismatic structure
Abstracted out of kilter
A
multi-story high rise power block
Splitting apart between seven floors
Each to its own paradox
Confined yet connected
Point to point
By a dichotomous tree
Inverted
With bottom at top
Bifurcating to lower orders
With multiple entry points
Where you can enter freely
From abasement
So long as you close the door behind you!
Once inside this glass-cut space
There’s no where for you to go but up
Beckoned by idealism
Of social or economic aspirations
Coloured monotonously
Red or Blue
Me or You
Us or Them
Here or There
Each a cut above the rest
Reached by ladders climbed assiduously
To the point where worlds collide
Far above the ground you left behind
In a room where All presume to be One
Suffocating as a Whole
That claims from aloft
To be more than the parts
Beneath itself
From which it ascended
Only to bang its head
Against the ceiling
So near and yet so far
From what was shut outside
Less than a hare’s breath away
Yet, deep in the core of this prism
Reaches the umbrella’s shaft
A
focal passage
Receptive to all who reach for it
Without resistance
Lifting from base to apex
But not stopping there
Instead emerging into slippery spiral gutter
By way of which the native returns
Whizzing gleefully down slope
To where he and she belong
Together as children playing
In the light of darkness
In the darkness of light
Learning along the way
That gathers before into after
Continually
With no need to get stuck in the prism
That seems to cut a dash in space
But can’t.

Dear Geisha and
others
Sad to hear what is happening in your country, Geisha. I know
universities around the globe are under pressure - there are layoffs and
union action in mine, I know. But not on the scale that you're
describing.
I will add your situation to my prayer list!
Kia
kaha (Maori expression meaning 'be strong', hang on in
there)

Dear Alan and all,
Thank you so much for comming back
to the web. I was already wondering what happen ?? It is a long time since
I heard from you all .... You made me happy again after this mail....
remember my context is full with situations that , specially in
Caracas, encourege very little deep thinking like this from Alan...
For example my University is on a month strike because the
government reduce our salaryes and owns a debt from 2008, so
there is no salary payments, we are in a real mess...... so to find
this paper on the intangible is wonderful... If i could say something
about it Alan I could start by telling you that thanks to the
intangible we manage to survive in this context at the moment...
people in order to avoid the problems, specially those with
socialistic government , also the 30.0 year inflation , the
killings arround, etc., turn to the intangible as the only way... For
example during the past asembly elections there were pray meetings
everywere ... and there are small alternative places to go to
meditate and to learn about spiritual subjects in order to fight
this reality with intangible weapons
because that is were the fight is located at intangible fields. Last
week I attended a seminar on interdimensionality, this concept
I believe it is related to what you call the intangible. From
my point of view it is the main characteristic of the
intangible. It helped me to give a certain order to other concepts
like those involve in your paper. But another part is how the brain can
become an interdimentional station for communication with the
intangible.... Well I stop here, I would like to continue with
this topic, many greetings, geisha
