I got fascinated by Husserl's Pheomenology of Internal Time Consciousness, I carried that book around for thirty years, a million miles trying to read it, I was okay till about page 140 when it got into neologisms and jargon, and I got to think if I wanted to learn a whole new jargon I might as well take up Zen.

seems to me phenomenology is just a two bit word for zen.
All those words I hardly have a grip on like dharma and karma and life after life,
Seems so petty to be preoccupied with an accident of birth, tribal connections, but there it is, as much as crazy mike tried to shield me from that mighty smitey patriarchal G d of the Jews, the women in the family still circumcised my heart. Even so [/i]I am an ignorant child about all religions, one of the blessings Crazy Mike bestowed on me. It is about family traditions I guess, traditions that are fading fast. I cling to them because of happy childhood memories of them I suppose. Even the dark times in the forties when I could sense their fear.
That probably sounds surreal to you, what has Husserl got to do with a beatles song or zen.
my state of mind when that song came out,
trying to see the zen of madness
the zen of not getting it
the zen of sylvia plath in new york
another book I carried around for a million miles
I was seeing with a distant mind, I learned a lot of freudian jargon I am always looking for more jargon.
old levi used to beg me

cut the jargon jack
I know it sounds strange Arcadia, but as many times as I heard that song over the past thirty years, I forgot it, like hearing for the first time when I watched a show about Duch, his conversion to Christianity. I am not one to judge. If it helps him make it through the night, so strange I thought as to how he might have to face it as a Buddhist, all that blood on his hands. It seems he did not want the karma, I think about the American veterans from Vietnam, the ones that go back there. Maybe some day our veterans from Afghanistan will want to return there or Iraq even. Yeah was certified crazy when that song came out, I am sure I heard it and blocked it right out. Repression love that word such a weird bit of Freudian jargon. Freud claims he never read Nitzsche but I find that heard to believe. Repression, what
mnaz called "the not quite conscious stuff.
I am going to clsoe this text box now read what I write.
Edit like hell unless someboy replies.
