Philosphers and Love

"One of the great theorisers of love, Jacques Lacan, engaged in dialogue with Plato and concluded, “there is no such thing as a sexual relationship." He reminds us, that in sex, each individual is to a large extent on their own. Naturally, the other’s body has to be mediated, but at the end of the day, the pleasure will be always your pleasure. Sex separates, doesn’t unite. The fact you are naked and pressing against the other is an image, an imaginary representation. What's real is that pleasure takes you a long way away, very far from the other. What is real is narcissistic, what binds is imaginary." —

The Pathology of Religious Elites: How Historical Criticism Became the New Legalism – and Why Deinstitutionalized Faith Returns Us to the Early Church's Fire

When you're stripped of the things that you hold dearly—that is, man-made denominations that have piled upon each other to form a symbolic Tower of Babel that obscures the original essence of faith—the final thing to do is to live the simple Christian life, as guided in the Book of Acts, which was arguably outlined by Dr. Luke as The Way. It embodied radical simplicity: communal living, prayer, and apostolic teaching. Acts 2:44-45 shows them having each other’s backs, no one ditched in the dirt. They refused to let anyone rot in the ditch while others hoarded like cavemen. That’s the muscle behind the simplicity—no spiritual lip service, just sleeves rolled up and hands dirty. Theology matters, but not as a debate club. Unity isn’t found in intellectual assent or historical nitpicking. Lest we're left with this absurd objective—to teleport to different historic locations and eras under different rulers to do... what exactly? If God is outside time (Psalm 90:4), quarrelling over...

Chocolate with Nuts: Valentine’s Symbol of Black Male Semen in the White Woman's Vagina

Other important holidays in the white supremacy culture further reveal the intricate workings of this symbolism. On both St. Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, the white male gives gifts of chocolate candy with nuts. In the first instance, he gives it to his sweetheart, and in the second to his mother. If his sweetheart ingests "chocolate with nuts," the white male can fantasize that he is genetically equal to the Black male. And if his mother had ingested "chocolate with nuts," he would not have to worry about white genetic annihilation—as he would have been "colored" and then could be an annihilator of white genes like the feared and envied Black male. Both the valentine shape and the chocolate candy have a symbolic meaning not previously recognized, examined nor understood by Western culture investigators. However, once the unified field of the Western culture dynamic (behavior dynamic) is set forth, it will be seen that these fragments of symbol...
