0.-1 Forward : Note to the Observer

~

What you can explore in this somewhat linear collection

of unadorned writing and Art is derived from a series

of gedankens: purely and simple thought experiments,

imagined in front of my hearth, in my home,

in Vermont, beginning around

January/February, 20/20.

~~~

The experiments came to involve not just the nature of

reality - but necessarily, apparently, as the motifs run not

just deep, but to the bottom - our consciousness and the

nature of responsibility and free will. The path was guided

by science and math; specifically regarding the mathematics

- geometries and modular concepts.

This latter bears some words of caveat: I can by personal

experience relate that these concepts, especially in

modular maths, altered i. The details one can

extract from the what follows but it becomes

apparent the observations affected

a beautiful mind - mine.

Perhaps as if i was being

observed back?

~~~~~

It was not without reluctance that i swam,

or floundered, back to the surface; our interface

of fluid dream and effervescent thought. Sensible i

was in rapture diving so deep, but returning allowed

me to breathe the breath of life back into the expiring

carrier pigeons i had tossed overboard to record the

observations. Such is the training as well as

passion as Observer.

The revelations seem to hold; the visions in deep meditations

remain perhaps insightful and these last weeks have allowed

a new generation of aha! moments of bliss as pieces seemingly

fell into place. Such has been my reward which continues

here in this very writing which I read aloud to i, myself,

feeling my soul at work at the nape of my neck.

~~~~~~~

My descriptions of my observations seem innocent enough

- but I must caution: there be dragons in the modular thoughts

that swirl and loop forever in helical helixes should you

contemplate time and reality as modular maths and

infinities and risk forgetting to get off

at the station.

And perhaps I had fortune, as the Muse might define,

in having among my perspectives the type of experience

Hendrix relates and i believe was of utility regarding these

gedankens. I had swam upstream prior, against the

flow of surrealistic desire.

The loreleian maths is seductive, beautiful, fecund and

perhaps insinuative as i remain quite cautious,

in some gently swirling trepidation

with that word of kind warning

- i thank you kindly for considering my Art,

as it is and is intended,


J. M.
