Episode 37 - ABC of Relations
Manage episode 384267801 series 3388147
Talk given in Liverpool, UK, circa 1960.
'A' equals "The Absolute', meaning that which IS when all else is 'sol'd away'.
'A' is infinite.
'B' represents closure, the relative.
'B' is finite.
Whenever we talk about 'being' we are talking about closure; when we talk about 'non-being' we are talking about the Absolute. From 'A' to 'B' there is a fall. The 'Fall' is always from the Absolute to the Relative; from the infinite to the finite.
What emerges after 'A' and 'B'?
In the case of English, we get 'C' and in the case of Hebrew we get a 'hard G'.
This refers to the solidification or substantialisation of that which is bound.
Eugene describes the relation between these concepts.
