Everything that is done with a view to the self being the beneficiary is a finite game and finite games never get us anywhere. Finite play is all about ‘holding onto our position no matter what’ and so of course...

Life takes place between two states: the state of locality and the state of non-locality. The local is what we believe in whilst a non-local is what we don't believe in, but just because we don't know or don’t believe...

The Domain of the Known is completely sterile, it is absolutely sterile. Words cannot say how sterile it is, how frighteningly devoid of possibilities it is. Nothing can be nothing can ever be done in this world that is not...

In everyday life we substitute trivial uncertainty for the real thing (i.e., ‘uncertainty of the radical variety’). This substitution is complete, which is to say once it has taken place then we have no relationship with the real thing at...

The force that is unleashed by the gnashing jaws of the polarity is a sublimely meaningless one. In terms of sheer coercive power we could say that what is being sought after in the polar struggle is the most important...

The collapsed form of consciousness is the Literal World, is literalism. Everything consciousness is, literalism isn't, and everything literalism is, consciousness isn't. They couldn't be two more different things, two more incompatible things. The Literal World only gets to be...

We live a conceptually-mediated world without knowing that we do. Or to put this another way, we live in a world that is made up of our thoughts whilst imagining the whole time that it is the real world, (which...

When we move into ‘control mode’ then we cut ourselves off from reality. We cut ourselves off from reality every time. We cut ourselves off from what would guide our controlling, so to speak, and so the whole exercise becomes...

There are only ‘things’ (of whatever sort or type or variety) and the 'Non-thing', or the 'No-thing', of which there is only One. There are very many things (as many of them as we want, in fact) but only one...

We glorify the endless reverberations of the Nullity. Or we rather we glorify one half of the endless reverberations of the Nullity whilst demonising the other half, the counterpart half, the complementary half. Thus, in society we glorify success and...

The Manufactured Reality is always a long drawn-out exercise in tedium and futility. There's nothing else it can be - it is either a long drawn-out exercise in tedium and futility that we can see as such or it is...

When we are safely insulated from the Immensity then the only concerns we know are small concerns, petty concerns - utterly empty concerns. Were the insulation in question to start to fail us then this would immediately induce a state...

The everyday self is a structure, it is a structure that lives in a world made up of structures and in this world anything that isn't a structure doesn't count for anything. In this world anything that isn't a structure...

The information collapse that gives rise to the physical universe may be spoken of as a break in the underlying symmetry of the situation and it may also be seen in terms of an inversion. A symmetry break is where...

We see the world in an inverted way. This is very easy to say, very easy to put down in the form of a single, short sentence, but to actually understand what is meant by this represents a change a...

When we obey the directive, obey the deterministic impulse, obey the rule, obey the mechanical compulsion, then we straightaway become quintessentially predictable, which isn't really that much of a surprise, of course, but - more than this - we become...

Our hidden dysfunctionality, if we are willing to admit that there is such a thing, is that we are always trying to fit everything into a model of the world, a theory of the world, that just doesn't have any...

When we build a wall against ‘the other’ in order to keep it separate, in order to keep it at bay, in order to totally exclude it, we bring a jinx down upon our heads. We bring into existence a...
