Subject: innocence and guilt - a mourning morning's muse




trying, here at some odd muse, to frame nicely a thought that ain't so
often been framed so nicely, that everyone is guilty:

everyone today is constantly but innocently guilty. Our 'being guilty'
state is the incontinent state within the flow of "the innocence of all
becoming"

so that it becomes important for each of us to seek for the epidemial
causes of all our guilt flows, and which flows all begin at birth and begin
there only because we are born of the guilty  - - - -

or to say, that i think of anthony, say, as one who, in the full innocence
of his guilt, became guilty of innocently allowing all the images of a
richly imaged catholic childhood to become so engraved on his psyche they
cannot be got rid of. the icons, the abundant acreages of georgeous stained
glass splitting the boring everyday white light of the sun into
excitementable patterns of religious set irid.escences, and all this become
so overconsuming when experienced sitting beneath the elevated serenity of
the fatheric altar, and sitting always also in various states of fronted
public compose from a necessity of also being under constant gaze of that
especially full caring of care full italian mothers who know how to love as
much or perhaps better than most other cultures, given their warm southern
genetic abundance consisting in ultra-effective riposte.allic
rule-dispensings, the style of warmer climed heritages of strict
enforcements benignly commanded as strong 'suggestions' for a child's
behaviorments.

ah, the subterreanean effects of images

images, and nothing but images, we have images in order not to die of the
truth - - -

and at the end, each image-infused "being person" becomes, each in their
separate individuationalness, trapped, forced by guilt to become what they
are, all so unfortunately, for as so entrapped they do not become what it
is possible to become outside all this, pure Will to Power (but one now
infused with a rich image generated consciousness of being only this pure
Will to Power) and nothing besides - - -


a self no longer trapped inside a subject as a subject, as the subject of a
subject. no longer trapped by a piece of grammar and nothing besides, no
longer merely a fully written and overwritten on slate - - - beyond,
finally, all images of "good" and "evil"

and so at last being no more a mere scrawl of some childishly enscrawled
scrawling-addicted god

but rather once again standing face on before the immense mysteries now
reemerging as shimmerings on the surface of a newly imagined and as yet
unscrawled-on sea - a sea vastly more open than could ever have been
imagined before - - -

become what you aren't

yet

guilty of being innocent -  innocent of being guilty
