And\but the much bigger 'rest' ~ smile ~

 


 

 

This Page was - after due consideration and with regret - designed in German. Main reasons are the 'games' we are and I am still intending to play with idiomatic expressions, as 'well' as the/a lingual-origins of most texts, planned to be published (not exactly easy to translate in appropriate time, space ...).

SUMMERY:

Contradiction(s) and other - more or less - paradoxical limitations of being and thinking are on my mind, since I remember its respectively my existence. Social aspects of loneliness, inequality, xenophobia, discrimination and leadership (especially 'Herrschaft' German) are central aspects of my intensive theoretical and empirical experience and studies (of manifold standards - academic 'musmax' Hebrew included) as well as some temporary results or even realization.

 

Quote:

Vielleicht immerhin ‚blaue Vorgedanken‘ und\aber Anmerkungen O.G.J.‘s zum / Dank des (und fürs feine) Programm-Flyer/s der Alten Synagoge Hechingen‘ mit Dr. Meirav Meidan (Israel) im/zum Jubiläumsjahr, bereits  im Juli 2016. – ‚Freiheit bestehe‘, so immerhin/bekanntlich  Immanuel Kant, ‚darin: einen Anfang zu machen.‘

With a small part of O.G.J.‘s work/thoughts, as an example in English:

« SCHECHINA the[sic!

שכינה  how, and what, ever phonetics or Masorah etc., may have/want it to sound and be transcripted; at least (meanwhile gendered,)  a(n aspect of God)]

[S[c]hekhina[h] שְׁכיִנָה šəxīnāh السكينة sakina …]

feminine aspect[sic!

 

 

 

perception (only) בּ of/in/by/at aspects’ isn’t always (everyone an) evident (epistemological ‘turn’ – the determinisms of mechanic/causality views found, hardly noticed, more complex/precis alternatives). Abut fifteen modal(ities) of/or aspects may ‘be and/or become’ הוויה /hawaya/ intersubjective. – But anyhow, don’t agreements to disagree (‘narratively’ – in /[h/]aggada/, up to doctrines / theories) make us better (after all ‘Jews’; comp. J.J. Petuchowski, too)?  (Semitic) ideas of unity’ are allowing to be more ‘andווbut vav-hook’-orientated, than Greek(-Latin Thought: the partner’s, as the often so called ‘part’s’) ‘hyphenated-disappearance(s into the same / single / [l]only: something / someone else)’; comp. even Lawrence Kushner, himself.  לֺא / ‘No need to’ fear the diversities multitudes (principl[iti]es – ‘order worship’) instead]

perhaps, spellings as ‘God’, up to  ‘G-d/G’d’, may express/mean respect/reverence (ups) distances/רוח (as /rewax/ and /ruax/ not unexpanded) of/in/to השׁם /hashem/, the name(s) of  Adonái – ‘pluralisms’ not necessarily excluded (as sums-allocating-paradigms do/want it)? ‘Let us’-quotes of /by /elohim/, /elohenu/, verbs in the grammar’s ‘singular’ with ‘plural’ nouns, and the other way round,  pp. are going to be discussed, too/again andװbut ...]

Her name comes from the biblical quote: "And let them make me a sanctuary (in Hebrew Michchan)[sic!

In the kabbalist's texts god's presence, the Schechina, appears[sic!

since when, in which grades/extends and why? – Talmudic ‘nesting birds’- and ‘neighbour/hood’-allegories are hardly gender specific, rather anthropomorphically and human experience. Is the Bahir different from Zohar by / in / with(out) erotically aspects (even sexual conditions, up to differences, with somehow ‘platonic’ / ascetic / ‘celibacy’  affections)?  ‘Discrimination’ – inequalities as such,  often correlate/s with modifications of somehow utopian expectations (decisions how to organize relationships), expressed in allegories / stories / language / behaviour etc. changes]

Mircea Eliade]; e.g. Greek Prometheus didn’t send well known Pandora; neither male/men always robbed and raped/enslaved the matriarchs/Amazons pp.]) relations, at least – transferences expected / problems, up to behaviourally  answered questions, received].

 

 

In our course we will meet the image[sic?

up to ‘(H)erself/ves’? – ‘vita activa’ and ‘vita contemplativa’ needn’t rule each other digital/dichotomy strict out; comp. Hanna(h) Arendt]

of the Schechina. We will ask:

of the Schechina. We will ask:

[Jews, Christians and Muslims use alike expressions partly meaning / naming the same?]

What is her Characteristic[sic!

‘a word’ with rather different meaning-horizons in German and English or Hebrew, too]?

What kind of symbolisms[sic!

analogies and symbols are part of the ‘representing / representative side’, influencing, and influenced by, the represented (comp. Alfred Korzybski), but often suspicious of idol / worship: Conflicts of beauty, grace, harmony, pregnancy, gentleness, purity/cleanness, clearness, hair, dress, voice, move, active/passive-manners, temptation, charm, pleasure, profession/s etc. pp. may appear, very soon]

 

describe her

[e.g. the ‘Queen Shabbat’, comp.  the first word’s Otiyot בראשית of/in Tanach, at all, sorted as:  שבת ירא /yare’ …/ (‘fearful’, ‘dreadful’; ‘respecting’, ‘venerating’); perhaps G-d’s daughter/s (comp. Semitic grammar’s mixed gender groups – just very often called / translated / remembered / handled ‘[as] male’ – versus pure female ones, only), even ups divine sister/s, bride/wife …, װbut of cause comp. the mythos’s structural goddesses-legend/s (e.g. heros/heroines, demigods; comp. /nefilim/ since 1.Mo. 6:4) versus/up to/with Her Ladyship’s even ‘Women of Learning’? (by Mei.Mei.);  comp. /[‘craving/desirous/longing for’] ta’ew shir [‘poem/song/ballad’]/ תאב שיר]?

And how does her image[sic?

our/others (lingual, optical, haptic/tactile, neuronal, emotional pp.) representations of … (the represented / meant / mapped)?]

 

create and influence the relationship between men[sic!

individuals, collectives, genders, generations, cultures, civilisations … ‘people’ is(n’t only representing a/the singular (of an ethnic, gender mixed, group) uncertain/unsure/indefiniteness, in English; comp. analytical / semiotic ‘turn’ (by philosophy: What does the expression/word/act mean/effectuate (t)here/when/whom? Neither ontology ‘what the represented[‘s character] is’, nor epistemology ‘what we can understand of it’.)]

 

and

[who(m)s?/which?]

 

god?

 

 

(And why does the kabbalist[‘s

– a female Kabbalit’s (and her husband’s; comp. La. Kushner’s novel ‘Kabbala: A Love Storry’, too) perspectives (even ‘meqabbelot’ up to ‘mequbbalot’?) might  add more/other complexities, too]

 

wife envy her ...?).

[Not all jealousy-questions are capacity/quality-problems, or ‘totality versus totalitarianism/tyranny’-issues; comp. Ernst A. Simon, too. – And\But isn’t G’d …?]

 

 

Also we [sic!

different  orders of grammar-person’s priority, positions of the most important expressions in the sentences, orthography and calligraphy – semiotics  are tricky courtesy expectations]

will wonder: why is it that the presence of god in the world[sic?

on earth’ / ‘under the sun/firmament’, ‘between/with humans’ pp.]

appears specifically as a feminine character?

 

And what is her relation to the male aspect [sic!

perhaps more than singular-one, and/or the (proto-/arche-)typical ones, too?]

of god.

[/? – ‘Doing gender’/dyadic relationships (‘one and\but one’ perhaps mathematical / called: 11/eleven ups is/n’t י״א it װ?) turns out as a very ‘early’/basic distinction, soon after/behind ‘God versus ‘not-G’d’/’adam/’enosh/-relationships; with all the ‘image’ and ‘expectation’-topics plus analogies, but ‘un-identity’-questions – on/by ‘the labyrintho stronghold of comparisons’ – of/from/to/with ‘borderless different G’d’, at the same times/s and place/s, intersubjective concordant only describable by upsphilosophia/theologia negativa’ (the ontological not-[only]-‘doctrines’:  ‘God is/becomes not completely/only anything – apart of existing’; comp. Mose ben Maimon/Maimonides, too).  AndװBut consequent not-lonely (even participating/interactive) observers – often so suspicious – dual(s) estimated: Two are going to ‘be/come’ able to ‘light’/’understand’ more than the sum of both partners’s experiences (rooms/ranges) together – ‘being/becomingהויה a ‘higher’ / an other kind of a/the ‘middle/sphere-bubble’, too.

It needn’t be/remain an unknown secret, that dialog/s consist of the tree (dangerous  – even affecting) elements:  questions (having interest/s in anyone/anything, at all), statements (never just/’neutral’/‘pure’ countable ‘information’ without bigger contextual/emotional situated, indicating ‘exformation’; comp from NØRRETRANDERS to: the ‘black fire’ of ‘deadly/fixed written’ שבכתּ׳ /shebiktaw/ versus ‘[its other sides/back] white fire’ of ‘living/oral spoken’ פּה שבעל /shebe’al pe/ torah תורה between, behind/around and over it) andװװbut  (rather unpopular/de- and/or escalating) pauses (to understand/’translate’ – instead of using the time of others speech to formulate my [apodictic to brilliant] replay; to think, even to examine/test/experience); anyhow breaks (even distressingly) needing to restart/risk the interaction again: As it is/was from the beginning/Genesis ‘and/but God spoke’ ויאמר /wayoommer/, up to contradicted the given facts, not only this initially ten times (comp. Rainer M. Rielke: ‘aus Gottes großem Brückenbau’, too).

 

 

At least if from / in case of, the same/equal ‘meet/flesh’ (/basar/ בשׂר) and/plus/but ‘bones/essence’ (/’etzem/ עצם) as /kenegdo/, ‘facing ones’, may open/contain different / discontinuities with ‘equal rights/value’, ‘equal chances/status’ and/or ‘equal birth (not just/after all affecting aristocrats)’ pp.-questions, and together with /’ezer/: an/the ‘opposed power’; not only/just (a week, obediently  kind of) ‘help’, as (to) many (dictionaries) still ': ‘His/Her Majesty’s most loyal opposition the Houses of Parliament’-, / (ha)Knesset/-relations are greeting; comp.

With (spotlights on) a lot of (unfair, waisting/obstructing, intercultural spread mis)uses of structural powers.]

 

More than that we will ask: what all of these texts are doing in a monotheistic[sic!

a thought/word based on Greek singular- and unity-understandings: Does taking the wawוvav out of the (actual square font) alef, in אחד (spoken ‘male’ /’exad/ or even ‘female / emphasized /’axad/), an important word for/of G’d’s (rather ‘borderless’ kind of) unity in (a/the suspect horror in/for Indoeuropean  singular-concept/understanding, namely/mainly Greek Thought/’Gnosis languages’) plural/s,  leave the (two –‘ me and …’) lonely jud(s) in/from יחיד /jaxid/, the singular(ity) of/for ‘one’ (now/here separated by the  chet, written as in the Tora-scrolls – locking and sounding as if two of the same ז zayin fight/face each other/s needing/s – knowing better, but  wishing that (sociology – dialectic pp.) wouldn’t take place / be the case; comp. Lawrence Kushner, too)? – ‘Mit G’tt warden wir (Menschen) nie zu rande kommen (not be able to cope with something / not get on with somebody), weil Gott gar keinen Rand (has no ‘border-edge’) hat.’ (comp. Albert Keller’s theologia/Philosophia negativa) – Are we / Is ‘menkind answering/handling questions of border management regimes (comp. Ralf G. Dahrendorf)?]

religion? [sic?

How do you/we/they understand/use / experience the ‘conservatively (‘lost/s’) versus (‘to find/develop’) progressively’-word-/imagination-fields (up to ‘ideology’, ‘cult’ pp.) representing / meaning methods / decisions ‘how to handle realities, including ourselves, others and expectations’? – Even if there wouldn’t exist another reality than the grammar(‘s ‘futurum exactum’), ‘we can’t get rid of God(-substitute-expressions), because we cannot think without ‘grammatica(comp. F. Nietzsche): If/As long as we define ‘belief/trust’ א־מ־ן as a (once to overbear)  sub-category of ‘knowledge’, we  are/remain as lost/trapped,  as if we muddle it (the subject-subject-relationships questions) up with / reduce or substitute them to/by  ‘holding statements/facts for (the/a(n un/)tru(c)e’ (comp.

It isn’t/need not to be/come a/the equal identical unity with God, overcoming the creation/s at all, that has to be found / got / constructed back (comp.

In our meetings[!] we will meet[!] the complex yet interesting characteristic

[‘some of theme’; could/would הויה be/come already great; O.G.J.]

 

of the Schechina - we will read (sometimes in small groups called Ha'vruta) kabbalist texts and other Jewish sources, we will learn a modern poem of a women who wrote about the image of the Schechina

and maybe, at the end[sic!

of the  meeting, we will create something of our own[sic?

» End of the quote

perhaps intuition/inspiration/perception are hardly without nor (l)only without ‘myselves/ourself?].

 

 

Are aspects / points of view / dimensions available, to distinguish ‘Gnostic Thought’ (in the sense of totlitarians by Indoeuropean singular(ity)-discovery-developments as (null-)sum-allocation (game/theory) paradigm / reductionism on determined heteronomy – particularly in ( as parts of Biblical, Kabbalistical and at/after all Mystical texts / teachings / Thought[s – receptions])?

Karl Hartman’s intensive (courageous, hardly known/discussed) work lists/sums up suspicious topics (at least, liable to be influenced) as:

 

 

Dualism: world – heaven / body – spirit / light – darkness  / good – evil / right - wrong

Emanations: material sign of increasing distance from/to God (point/dot without any extension ideal)

The creator as demon against a very fare away / distant God of Love

A/The divinely soul (‘spank of eternal light’) trapped in a/the body

Contempt/Disdain of the body: ascetic (and/)or libertinism

The redeemer a spiritual being, incapably to suffer(ing)

Gnosis: Recognition of supreme knowledge about the interrelations, elevation above the uninitiated  believers[sic!] and materialism

Returning home of the sole, by overcoming hostile aeons,  with secret  knowledge (the yet inevitable desire to be/com closer to/with G’d than anyone/anything else; comp. resh by La.Ku. – cancellation/revocation of the realties as ‘salvation,’ instead of ‘reconciliation and interactive modification’)

 Apocalyptical speculations.

Not just Albert Keller showed, that the ‘spirit versus material, and/or the other way round’-topics (and even that of not-synonym ‘soul’, ‘body’ and/or ‘spirit’ separated form ‘[being a] life’) as such, aren’t helpful/needed to understand: There are centres of human actions (‘we’ usually call ‘I’ /ani/ up to /anochi/? – not actually overcome by calling them ‘[super]ego’ [ups] ‘you’ or ‘us’ pp. – super toto not the same as / not identical with accountably guilty blame / missed targeted destinations) opposing empiricism (including things and happenings ‘to be/com’, as e.g. books, bodies, earth, crime, love, ideas/thought, ‘windows of opportunities’ etc. and ourselves, too; comp. Carl Friedrich v. Weizsäcker: ‘Es ist der menschliche Verstand, der jenes Ganze zu dem er selbst gehört, in Teile zerlegt um es (begreifend; Richard Heinzmann) zu verstehen.’ – Just/Yet partly analytics for grasped understanding, may poem/s ...)

An old image: /adam qadmon/ the so called ’first / originally  / undivided as one androgyn drawn human being‘ with a version of the ten /sefirot/ ‘spheres’ of Kabbalistic ‘tree of life(death’.

The third and second last picture of this example  illustrate: ‘a centre of human actions’ (bottom as /lew/ לבבheart’) ‘filtering/percepting’ empiric realities (on top) by 15 modalities (middle line as aspects between both opponents כנגדו). The Key and sword ‘coat of arms’ for ups of /mugbal/, /shamur/, /sod/  … ‘secret/s’ here, is part of a now university-city’s.
