  ~~ Of [a](nti)surrealistic genealogy ~~

          "Gods are mortal, humans immortal;
          living their death, dying their 
          life"
           (Heraclitus, fragment B 62).

          "What lies together before us is
          stored, laid away, secured and
          deposited in unconcealment, and
          that means sheltered in unconcealment"
           (Heidegger, _Early Greek Thinking_, Harper & Row 1975,
           1984, p. 63).
 

-- Two apparent contradictions: ontological negation of life & death; 
and an ontic portrayal of the safety of presence -- the thing-in-itself 
-- locked away, safely, in (its) Otherness.  

The contradictions are (of) a(-)parent: the Father who stands behind 
emergent Being(s).

The Father is the unique possibility of a Self -- He is the pure 
'unknown' that resides, and as a trace LANGUISHES, beyond us.  Via 
reflection, His breath is labored.  For the Father, as possessor of 
purely self-sufficient THOUGHT, is a WISH TO BE ... : He contaminates 
DEATH, i.e., _externality_, by His fetishism, and thereby reverses and 
even GLORIFIES all corruptive intrusion.  For as a -- let us say -- 
_foot_ fetishist establishes an Idea(l) [of the] female foot, and pays 
homage to it in every act of fetishistic worship, expecting no return, 
just _realization_, so also does the Father SERVE the slaves of the 
hylic world by permitting the openness, the SPACE, of creation.  
Whatever comes after the initial act, the establishment of Thought in 
immediacy, is (of no) matter.  Subsequent hylic entrapment, if any, is a 
product of receptive weakness, and tarnishes only the _Logos_ qua 
presentation 
                    "If there is to be proper hearing [act/art
                    of _presentation_ -- E.M.], mortals must have                         
already heard the _Logos_ with an attention                           
[Gehor] which implies nothing less than their                         
belonging to the _Logos_"
                     (Heidegger, p. 67).

This hearing of the past, this tracking of the traces of 'what being 
was', engenders the Son, the true _Logos_ = Mind (_Nous_), openness = 
the shelter of externality in/is unconcealment.  The DEAD are then 
revealed/re-veiled as object(ive other)s ... and the LIVING as creative 
beings, as ALIENS roaming this "wasted land," identifying themselves 
with everything already of the past -- _a-noematos_, if you will: that 
which Thought('s) will no longer penetrate(s) & appropriate(s).  The 
negation of Life & Death, that is the fulfillment of purity, occurs _in 
that space where_/when Thought no longer is defined as self-sufficiency, 
but rather as the daring extension of ESSENCE into the CHAOS of Being.

The Father is then born through the Son, just as language gives birth to 
the Thought of that which is to be saved -- in its very essence ... 
accomodated, appropriated ... stripped of horrific alien-ness, as it 
stands before external (di-)VISION.  

Temporality reigns, and produces methods of fixation that may or may not 
anchor hylic thought in progressive originality.  One must ask, "What do 
you want, then?" ....

DESIRE arises from temporality, for it is the trapped faculty of 
creativity, and reveals the inadequacy of the hylic realm ... is the 
root of the CALL.

Being flows through DESIRE, and reveals the _source_ of its utterance. 
The Son is not far behind.

... Shouting out, yet pre-veiling through un-concealment -- memory: 
after the source is hidden away, as far away as the EYE of the Father. 
-- What be-comes revealed is a FACE -- an interpretative _template_, 
under Being's control ...

     the CALL is to BEWARE ... :
