Consider, for a moment, the example of the halo around the edge of the clouds I wrote about in January (see Insomnia Page). The pleasure the clouds caused in me – the pleasurable event – the para:passional event – spawned a need for an understanding [appreciation within a context or framework/structure] that gave rise to an affection for any knowledge related to the sky and its formation [atmospheric sciences]. This quest structured the way I would see and contextualize such events, through language, at future times, such that, when reflecting on the event, I placed the word “cumulonimbus” in the place of a more original, first impression – made when I didn’t know what the word “cumulonimbus” meant. The event itself was the cause of its own rewriting in time such that it can be said:
The para:passional event, or the love of the object, will have been the cause of its dis memberment.
The Parapassional is similar to the Paradox, or the Paraphrase, which came up today also…the conditions leading to a parapassional event are: two objects, One taking note of the Other because it causes something to stir in the observer : an evocation of love, pleasure, pain, horror : and by this effect, the first makes note of the self through that object. There is a projection of self, and a projection through time. This needs to be worked out a bit better, for, para / passional, implies, a parallel suffering, or a parallel relationship between objects of desire…perhaps it should be explored in relation to the para noiac….hmm.
…until then…
