CYCLE 34

 

1.�� STELLAR CONTRAST.To contrast the Clear Light of the Void with the Clear Fire of the Void ... as one would contrast Hinduism with Buddhism or Krishna with Buddha - the latter merely the heat-aside of the former.

 

2.�� SOLAR CONTRAST.Conversely, to contrast the Clear Fire of Time with the Clear Light of Time ... as one would contrast Satanism with Judaism or Satan with Jehovah - the latter merely the light-aside of the former.

 

3.�� STELLAR/SOLAR COINS.No less than Krishna and Buddha are two sides of the same (idealist-stellar) coin, so Satan and Jehovah are two sides of the same (naturalist-solar) coin.

 

4.�� IDEALIST/NATURALIST DISTINCTIONS.A modern equivalent of the above 'coins', or dichotomies, would be Fascism (light-primal) and Nazism (heat-secondary) with regard to idealism, but Communism (heat-primal) and Bolshevism (light-secondary) with regard to naturalism, the cultural parallel having less to do with visions and dreams than with photos and films, photos being no less idealistic than films are naturalistic.

 

5.�� FILM NATURALISM VIS-�-VIS PHOTOGRAPHIC IDEALISM.Film actors/producers are all somehow communistic in their naturalist stance before life, a stance no less contrary to the idealism of photography than the Judaic/Satanic essence of dream naturalism could be regarded as being contrary to the visionary idealism of Hinduism/Buddhism.
