PROGRESSIVE VIEW OF METAPHYSICAL DISEASES

A kind of pyramid is possible, in which the second and third disease cannot be had without curing the first, and the 4th, 5th, and 6th cannot be had without meta-curing the 2nd and 3rd, and so on, in successive levels, each including one additional component. The iteration of the method of altering previous levels suggests that by terms of the current reality, the path is somewhat infinite. Yet, with dimensional potential, the path my be gained more quickly, and the lessons learned.

1. Death.
2. Immortality.
3. Genius.
4. Art.
5. Transformation.
6. Mystery.

The first level (1) is the level of struggle to understand pleasure and pain and find higher purpose. The second level (2 and 3) is about disillusionment and self-directed purpose. The goal of the second level is not to despair, and not to fall for temptations. The third level (4, 5, and 6) involves the fifth dimension, and so it is hard to interpret. What may be seen in the third level is a paradigmatic path of reality, with greater certainty and enjoyment of various wonders and superficial, mysterious, or amusing obstacles.

The Golden Notebook: An Improvement on Lichtenberg’s Notebook J, Revealing the Origin of Transcendental Objectivity

This book is forthcoming from my publisher, and will be available on Amazon in the next few days.


BOOK DESCRIPTION

More profound than either his book The Modist or his other published notebook the Ninesquare, this work of philosophy was recovered after being lost along the highway in middle America. However, the story of its recovery remains a subject of mystery. So far as most authorities will admit, The Golden Notebook is merely an artistic interpretation of Lichtenberg’s Notebook J. The importance of either The Golden Notebook its current edition, or Notebook J in Hollingdale’s original translation is enormous. But here we find traces of a great intellect suspiciously familiar with every nuance of Lichtenberg. It is as if Lichtenberg didn’t exist in the first place. And we find, in his place, a clear, colorful intelligence capable of making stupendous leaps of the imagination, beyond all prior definitions of the term. This Notebook is the ultimate philosophical notebook, a work that dares to say everything important in philosophy, and damned near gets away with it. As the saying goes, past this point, if you want to do something original, cite some sources. In The Golden Notebook, we find evidence of the most original intelligence.
