"The Nomad"

I've left the past behind
So much more to see
Like a feather to the wind
Wherever it may lead
Wherever it may lead
Where I'll never know
For I can't be tied down
I can here it call

Take me through this world
Take me through this storm
No matter where I may be
My befallen past it walks with me

The leaves shall turn and then they fall
Like the anguish and the joy
Adrift upon life's sea
Wherever it may lead
Wherever it may lead
Where I'll never know
For I can't be tied down
I can here it call

Take me through this world
Take me through this storm
No matter where I may be
My befallen past it walks with me

Take me through this world
Take me through this storm
No matter where I may be
My befallen past it walks with me
My befallen past it walks with me

Like a feather to the wind


"In This River"

I've been around this world
Yet I see no end
All shall fade to black again and again
This storm that's broken me
My only friend

[Chorus:]
In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

Withdrawn I step away
Just to find myself
The door is closed again
The only one left
This storm that's broken me
My only friend

[Chorus x2]
[Solo]
[Chorus x2]

Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD6fvzGIBfQ&list=PL4SnPCOcKRxZzfa0Mn8y32mr2AR6hOqMx

如果你識他  這張CD  會讓你落淚

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RciOCn_Nmh0

"String Reprise / Treaty"

I wish there was a treaty we could sign
It's over now, the water and the wine
We were broken then but now we're borderline
And I wish there was a treaty, I wish there was a treaty between your love and mine

"It Seemed The Better Way"

It seemed the better way
When first I heard him speak
Now it's much too late
To turn the other cheek

Sounded like the truth
Seemed the better way
Sounded like the truth
But it's not the truth today

I wonder what it was
I wonder what it meant
First he touched on love
Then he touched on death

Sounded like the truth
Seemed the better way
Sounded like the truth
But it's not the truth today

I better hold my tongue
I better take my place
Lift this glass of blood
Try to say the grace

Seemed the better way
When first I heard him speak
But now it's much too late
To turn the other cheek

Sounded like the truth
Seemed the better way
Sounded like the truth
But it's not the truth today

I better hold my tongue
I better take my place
Lift this glass of blood
Try to say the grace

"Traveling Light"

I'm traveling light
It's au revoir
My once so bright, my fallen star
I'm running late, they'll close the bar
I used to play one mean guitar
I guess I'm just somebody who
Has given up on the me and you
I'm not alone, I've met a few
Traveling light like we used to do

Good night, good night, my fallen star
I guess you're right, you always are
I know you're right about the blues
You live some life you'd never choose
I'm just a fool, a dreamer who forgot to dream of the me and you
I'm not alone, I've met a few
Traveling light like we used to do

Traveling light
It's au revoir
My once so bright, my fallen star
I'm running late, they'll close the bar
I used to play one mean guitar
I guess I'm just somebody who
Has given up on the me and you
I'm not alone, I've met a few
Traveling light like we used to do

But if the road leads back to you
Must I forget the things I knew
When I was friends with one or two
Traveling light like we used to do
I'm traveling light

"Leaving The Table"

I'm leaving the table
I'm out of the game
I don't know the people
In your picture frame
If I ever loved you or no, no
It's a crying shame if I ever loved you
If I knew your name

You don't need a lawyer
I'm not making a claim
You don't need to surrender
I'm not taking aim
I don't need a lover, no, no
The wretched beast is tame
I don't need a lover
So blow out the flame

There's nobody missing
There is no reward
Little by little
We're cutting the cord
We're spending the treasure, oh, no, no
That love cannot afford
I know you can feel it
The sweetness restored

I don't need a reason
For what I became
I've got these excuses
They're tired and lame
I don't need a pardon, no, no, no, no, no
There's no one left to blame
I'm leaving the table
I'm out of the game

I'm leaving the table
I'm out of the game

"You Want It Darker"

If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game
If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
You want it darker
We kill the flame

Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
A million candles burning for the help that never came
You want it darker

Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my lord

There's a lover in the story
But the story's still the same
There's a lullaby for suffering
And a paradox to blame
But it's written in the scriptures
And it's not some idle claim
You want it darker
We kill the flame

They're lining up the prisoners
And the guards are taking aim
I struggled with some demons
They were middle class and tame
I didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim
You want it darker

Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my lord

Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
A million candles burning for the love that never came
You want it darker
We kill the flame

If you are the dealer, let me out of the game
If you are the healer, I'm broken and lame
If thine is the glory, mine must be the shame
You want it darker

Hineni, hineni
Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my lord

Hineni
Hineni, hineni
Hineni

沒有說清楚 (2016-12-29)

12/29第一次說
第三個轉折(kehre)

好像沒有說清楚

當我說一切自然就好
Wasn’t it beyond good and evil?

我的意思是
我們回不到自然的存在狀態
舉止意圖造作大過自然
其實生老病死喜怒哀樂悲歡離合再自然不過
大哭大笑的被治療者和治療者是自然的

當我說放牛吃草是心理治療最好的狀態

我的意思是
不要急不要催不要不吃草不睡午覺不看太陽下山
人牧牛牛亦牧人
雖然自體疾患者通常一生狂野亂竄
所以前者人牧狂牛居多
但治療者亦須為牛所牧(否則他根本不知甚麼是牛怎麼可能牧狂牛)
所以他的training analystpersonal therapist應為牛
或他的治療室裡應該有一頭牛
或治療者就是一頭牛(這是最好的狀態)

當我說看到那張Segaldo的相片讓人落淚

我的意思是
那個人蹲在那裏身在自然護著自然這實在太好了

當我說陳白沙

我的意思是
如果你需要吃草的哲學
才能好好吃草你可以參考白沙
但如果你不需要吃草的哲學就可以好好吃草
那你不用管白沙
雖然吃久了
你遲早會碰到白沙蹲在你旁邊一起吃草
宋明理學稱之為兩頭牛的相遇

你現在應該可以理解我對牛如何響往
多麼想變成一頭牛

12/29我忘了說
最好的精神醫療是流浪貓的流水席

以上庸人辭廢矣
牛不須如此囉嗦

還是沒有說清楚
為什麼那個人見到那張圖一直落淚

Lourmarin

The writers Henri Bosco (1888–1976) and Albert Camus (1913–1960) both lived there and are buried in the local cemetery.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lourmarin

http://genius.com/Albert-camus-return-to-tipasa-annotated

A moralist is not a moralizer. The latter has the answer before he is asked the question, while the former has only
questions after she hears the available answers. And it is the questions that, as the French say, déranger— disturb, or
more literally, disarrange what has already been arranged. Camus was, in this respect, a moralist. These questions
did not lead Camus to solitude and nihilism, but instead pulled him toward solidarity and a form of ethical exigency. He was a moralist who insisted that while the world
is absurd and allows for no hope, we are not condemned to despair; a moralist who reminded us that, in the end,
all we have is one another in an indifferent and silent world. (Zaretsky, 2013, p. 8)

This reflex of intellectual modesty also surfaced in an interview fated to be Camus’ last, given a month before his death. When the interviewer suggested that Camus was a guide for his generation, the response was clear and immediate: “I speak for no one: I have trouble enough finding my own words.
I guide no one: I do not know, or know only dimly, where I am going.”
(ibid, p. 185)

Yet, ignored by many commentators, both men also insisted on the necessity of beauty. In an essay published
shortly after the war, “Some Thoughts on the Common Toad,” Orwell dwelt on the abiding and necessary joys of
nature. Is it, Orwell asked, “politically reprehensible . . . to point out that life is frequently more worth living because
of a blackbird’s song, a yellow elm tree in October, or some other natural phenomenon which does not cost money and does not have what the editors of left- wing newspapers call a class angle?” Orwell in fact offers an English equivalent to Camus’s “Mediterranean” philosophy— a kind of pensée de Cotswalds. (ibid, p. 190) (italics added)

我們知道歷史被竄改是正常的, 但竄改是否有底線? 底線何在?

1. 沒有底線隨竄改者所代表的當權者高興
2. 竄改者午夜的良心

3. 竄改的價錢誰開得高

4. 竄改後被踢屁股踢得多重

5. 竄改者本身的歷史被下一個竄改者竄改時

6. 以上皆可被竄改

7. 這個底線(如果它存在的話)恰恰說明了詮釋學的限制(limit)

8. 雖然多數竄改者恐怕一無所知詮釋學

9. 所以竄改基本上只是混口飯吃

10.長官要我怎麼改我就怎麼改

11.不然你還要我怎麼樣

12.歷史學家的定義是沒有長官的非竄改的歷史書寫者

13.他面對成千上萬的竄改者罄竹難書

14.narrative truth趨近historical truth

15.他必失敗(doomed to fail)

16.像貝克特

17.雖然貝克特不是歷史學家

18.沒有演出貝克特作品的城市

19.不宜人居

20.沒有書寫中的歷史學家的城市

21.亦不宜人居

22.他只能希望

23.這次失敗得更好一點(to fail better, this time)

24.但我們知道

25.他連這一點都做不到

26.你現在知道

27.歷史學家和竄改者的差別了嗎

28.前者是徹底的失敗者

29.後者是成功的打工仔

30.The writer (historian) “cannot put himself in the service of those who make History; instead, he serves those who endure it. . ." (Zaretsky, 2013, to quote Camus, p. 187, italics added)

素珠格格們說日本沒有侵華
蔣介石沒有打過日本
慰安婦是志願的

識時務的智者告訴我們

歷史的書寫詮釋權在當權者
今日當權無疑必將萬歲當權

大家一起跟我喊            萬             歲





不識時務的弱智者告訴我們

Holocene萬歲以來
沒有不落的太陽

昨日歷史不是今日歷史
今日歷史不是明日歷史
明日歷史不是後日歷史

結論是不能相信
當權者豢養的政治正確的歷史

Donald P. Spence說
我們退而求其次罷

相信歷史不如相信敘事
敘事並未宣稱必然為真

但Donald P. Spence忘了說
敘事者的聲音往往是被闇啞的

我們的命運遂一直都只能是聽到
當權者豢養的政治正確的歷史的聲音

所以結論是不能相信
當權者豢養的政治正確的歷史

你不須信以為真
但你要珍惜那暗夜的狼嚎

what's the difference between unknown, uncertain, unanticipated, unsure, taken by surprise, groping, first time and never before, and, well, "foretold"?   

foretold 表示    事先已經知道    所以唯一能做的    是等待它發生   這裡沒有回憶的問題    所以即將失智者可以 foretell (before he forgets)    這裡沒有意志的問題     因為發生是必然的

The psychological laws of development, obtained by VP through investigation of concrete facts of the human mind, concern only the psychic dimension of reality (EVP, p. 11). However, for the philosophical analysis of the historical process of humanity, those laws acquire a metaphysical dimension that goes beyond any possibility of empirical apprehension. For this reason, by affirming that history is the history of the spirit ( Geistesgeschichte ) (EVP, p. 515), Wundt introduced here a metaphysical dimension.

Thus, there is no psychologization of history, because the philosophy of history belongs to Wundt’s highest metaphysical interests, in which the spirit ( der Geist ) replaces the mind ( die Seele ).

To summarize, one can say that VP plays a double role in Wundt’s project. On the one hand, it is a necessary complement to experimental or individual psychology in the search for the universal laws of mental life. On the other hand, it serves as one of the foundations for the philosophy of history, which, by unifying the philosophy of nature and the philosophy of spirit, will lead to a final Weltanschauung .(Saulo de Freitas Araujo, 2015, p. 190)
