Arthur Salvatore WoW comments??

detlof: be spelled "affidavit." from what confine do you wish to be released? in my book, you're free as a dove and, if emulating the "founder" of the vienna circle, as high as a kite. or, perhaps, this dreamlike perception is only devotedly to be wished. sure glad you've opened the door to sunshine and hope there are no more bags of homo sapiens shit on which you may step. (BTW, i can't quite follow the "deposit in [my] medulla oblongata" reference. as i recall from my undergraduate studies, the medulla is the center of involuntary nerve activity. are you suggesting that my "art" is below the level of consciousness? if so...... interesting. have you read "the origins of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind" by jaynes?) sorry to go off-topic, folks, but i figure i'm owed some kinda payback for all those years of psychotherapy.

Just what is the topic here? And don't you need a topic before you can go off topic? Other than the word shit, I really don't see a topic anymore. As such, I perceive no need for an apology for any variation therefrom. I do think if there ever was a topic, you two boys are nowhere near it. But that's good. Really good, in fact. I can't wait to see where this all goes.

'therefrom?' thunders, your law education is showing. and detlof, good GOD man, you are nothing if not good fodder for all the right-wingers who have declared an all-out war on drugs. I believe, as obviously you believe, that ecstasy (or apparently SOME drug) is a valid form of psychotherapy. Perhaps not when self-administered (as we’ve just witnessed in your post) but then there’s the expression, doctor heal thy self that can be thrown into the argument and then we’re back to square one.

And as for you CFB, you never cease to amaze me. I actually have read ‘the origins of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind’ by julian jaynes. In fact, it freaked me out very early on and I had to put it down for about a year or two. If I remember he began to talk about the concept we have as ‘I’ and ‘me’ as only a metaphor and he scared the holy crap of me when 'I' suddenly ‘got it.' It seems pertinent here in some way because I’ve only begun to realize the metaphor of these threads and how the ‘i’ and ‘me’ issue jaynes touched upon ...um...where am we?

That is too good. Cuckoo, Cuckoo, Cuckoo. Sorry about the therefrom, I figured what the hell, when talking to the town barrister, why not? I damn sure couldn't go with the rest of that jumble, it was all I had left.

Dear Cornfed, certainly not your art, how could you ever think that, merely an affidavit (thankyou!) for saying shit with impunity, the selfsame allusion to faeces being certainly caused by *some* involuntary nerve movement, would you not think? But please name a better place, I'll do anything to be free of that shrink-persona of yours...though from what you say, I have nothing to do with it? HMMM, wonder if I should take some haloperidol or (shudder)go back into analysis..... no I'll have some cognac instead......, yes high as a kite is nice, much better than mad as a hatter, but then you know how close genius lies to madness, especially if you emulate Viennese or even Zurichoise circles....what did friend James Joice say: Tweedledee Jung and twaddledee Freud... but I am rambling. And by thundering Jupiter or B'Jove in Brits, and J thunders in Audiogonese, this is all about DADA, you know, that Art form which started in pre-war central Europe, or like free Jazz if you like and Kubla, Great Khan, what a chuzpa, how can I heal myself, if CFB won't let me out....and how can you talk of ecstasy...when my stasis is in and not out. But the Julian Jaynes might help. Thanks, did't know it. Will click on Amazon now. But first another cognac. Cheers to all
