Building my vortex
Integration, is that the right word? Well it could be, starcrossed sources making whoopie in the starlight, starnight, glowing lights representing different things. The world is an oyster, and these books which shall eventually be presented in full mixed in with other, Paul the Apostle would call this unequally yoked, I like to be as thorough as I can when perverting this material, but maybe perverting isn't the proper word, I don't always choose the perfect word, this is what it means dear flock to be in the process of learning, I am doing it completely my own way, me and Sinatra have at least this in common.
This is an exercise in self-examination, and a kind of performance art in the form of spoken and written word about what this is, see I can't really put that even in words, at this point.. It is not what I've ever succeeded into putting into words, as I've always been so amazed and satisfied with what Cioran and Nietzsche had said, but here I aim to pull it all together and to perhaps be able to explain things for myself, it will never be as good as they did it, and I say this because that is a sane part of me talking there, I got to memorialize each and every instance of sanity to serve as counterpoints to the proceedings that will span some 400 or so pages of comments, filled with hundreds of hours of reading, and millions of words that are simply trying to figure it out on my own. Not one single person can possibly set me straight in a single paragraph or anything like that. That is the method of those who are blind that respond to very true criticisms with deflections and void of content monikers they put on things, thinking that settles the issue, it settles nothing, believe me.
If you think that one's point of view is only valid if it has no contradictions and whatnot, like how Beeke & Smalley with jittering hearts want to assure us there is none of that in their sacred book, I want to announce here as crystal clear as possible, a belief one holds which has no chance of changing, which is set in stone, and has dire consequences for any diversion from it is death itself. I affirm that what is of utmost importance to me is an interesting and aesthetic sort of belief system, there is no actual dogma in it, it is the worship of beauty, it is beauty worship in all kinds of things, it's mind is not hardly ever in the gutter, and when it is, it doesn't seek to dirty the air by publicly talking about it, it shall for sure be unafraid of any topic, and will be seeking always new ways of expressing what is of essential matters, that are almost never addressed, tis all but shallow unsatisfying brushes with matters. This will be attempting to be an organic growth, of the Problemata, it will be for me a map so as to locate where I was, where I want to go, and where I'd rather not go.
Tis will mean absolutely nothing to others, and shouldn't, it can only mean what it does to the singular purpose of the one putting it all together.
I am perfectly happy if no one pays attention to this, as any distractions will have eternal ramifications for my rubber ducky soul.
Gradually this is going to be including the key players in my mental drama with these things. Joining Joel Beeke and Paul Smalley, I will be bringing in my top 2 thinkers Nietzsche and Cioran, it will be the longest thread on SW by the time i'm done.
There is no flavor to theology, there's no graspable reason I can fathom realistically that it should occupy my time at all, but it's all a mess in my head, a beautiful confusion as Fellini was approaching in his finest film, but here there will be my only chance to bring out of the formless void a raison d'etre to it all, to explain at least to myself, cannot do it just by myself, but as upon a stage with racoons and hyenas sitting in the seats.

3. (in this section --- a phrase I dwell on a bit -- philosophy must not judge the word of God, I feel that philosophy is it's own thing and must do whatever it is led to do, so my stance on this is securely secular, let the bright lights do their best, if the Bible is so great and perfect, let it's greatest theologians rush to it's rescue, it will make them better theologians for having to deal with that. i'm looking at you Carl Trueman, who might be working on his book on Nietzsche as I type this, I will surely get that to see how he handles that guy who was for me one of the most effective free thinkers, and liberators for me of the tyranny that this Faith sometimes is for me --- pure theology has no room for pure philosophy and vice versa is the gist I wanna say for now.) my linguistic stumbling block is solved by applying how it is of the unseen world that Theology is described as taking place in.
