Symbiosis.

Interesting evening. First a gentle introduction to Saul Bellow`s works, or at least three of them. I can wonder whether it will interest me to peruse them in my later years or not. I view it as unlikely that i can manage that kind of excursion into the life and times of icebergs at present.
Rachel Aviv`s article on psychosis, and the realm of the troubled mind/being was really informative. Having spent my share of years in the grip of near and full psychoses i found it a fresh and hones take on what this condition consists of, with a wary respect for the medical professions attempts to find some sort of consistent scheme for aiding individuals in varying grips of the universe and it`s capacity for consciousness-creation. Having enjoyed (at times) and feared (at times) the varied experiences and understandings which my being and the universe creates to comprehend itself has given me a certain loathing for the concept of the pure-functional-adjusted-productive / pathological -dichotomy. Luckily, not everybody buys into the medical professions constant attempts to "normalize" the human experience.
My life is much the richer for it, and i am more satisfied with myself as a living, thinking and acting being than i ever was before all of these mental hijinks manifested themselves.

Thereafter, perhaps out of some perverse desire to be psychosis-inducing i decided to read some chapters in Tom McCarthy`s "C" whilst listening to Thermidor - 1929 and the first half of Flint Glass - Circumsounds. "We went up; we saw stuff; it was good.", in the words of Serge Carrefax. It was especially nice to reach the paragraph about the annunciating angel descending upon Serge and Gregg just as the track "Angel" started.

The blooming that occurs in complementary streams of expression causes such joy in my life!
