the face of the other is the trembling of the self.

"for the truth of this momentary happening is but the semblance of an image.
there is nothing, in effect, true about this image.
perhaps, I find myself a belief, a structure in which my entire existence and post-existence can depend on.
the weight of this liberty immediately falls on me and I carry with me the statue of hope.
therefore,
there is nothing to contradict with.
nothing to argue against.
it is a belief,
so respect it.
from a momentary happening I then project it to an eternal entity
free from the chains of the temporal, I suspend time and space
and re-construct my own time and space in an image of perfection.
my thoughts are able. Indeed.
there is nothing against this belief.
it is mine.
but this egoistical movement must lend its power through numbers.
I thereby call out to others to follow me.
there is strength in numbers.
even the false can be true.
I find then a community, a willing one, to lead and to be led.
belief is such a vague thing.
but promises aren't.
images aren't.
therefore my plan to fool my followers has finally taken shape.
it is mine because there are others to align with.
o splendid!
as long as I'm not alone, I can win my trophy.
my religion, my faith."

"the underground is no longer a dark place.
it is illuminated by the devices of my imagination.
I fill the underground with mirrors of desires.
there are unlimited wants and desires to satisfy our boredom.
what are infidelities if we have somehow factor them into this stable superstructure?
let us create Edinburghs in every city link."

the underground is no longer a place of meditation.

aufhebung is a myth.

there is only one way out.
plunge and let die.

All faces are His; this is why He has no face
Edmond Jabes

I can't go. I must go on.
as long as there are those who understand the above quote,
I can still go on.
after all, there will come a day when I forget everything.
I'll leave the remembering to someone else.
