Philly!

Dope

O California, dark, shaken, broken hills, bright fog reaching over the beaches, madrone and digger pine and valley oak, I’m your dryhearted daughter. I listened when the earthquake spoke and learned what the quail teaches. The stony bed the rain of winter fills waited all year for the water.

Like the octopi, our destiny is to become what we think, to have our thoughts become our bodies and our bodies become our thoughts. This is the essence of the more perfect Logos envisioned by the Hellenistic polymath Philo Judaeus—a Logos, an indwelling of the Goddess, not heard but beheld.

Hans Jonas explains Philo Judaeus's concept: A more perfect archetypal logos, exempt from the human duality of sign and thing, and therefore not bound by the forms of speech, would not require the mediation of hearing, but is immediately beheld by the mind as the truth of things.

 It was not at all by chance that Christianity, which grew out of Mediterranean culture, had adopted as its own alimentary symbols bread,  wine, and oil, of the Greco-Roman tradition. (The first two became Eucharistic symbols and the third an instrument of sacramental anointing.) - Albert Sonenfeld
