contingency

contingency in the true pure sense

is strictly speaking empty

or perhaps

without bounds

without definition

(the concept of God really comes out of this idea

it is a reflection of it

a substitute

the positing of another realm

spiritual ideal

as if in the act of this positing

the actual contingent reality is improved

or

somehow - by such a reality - made - non-contingent

i.e. -

the concept of God - has all the characteristics
of the contingent realm

with the addition of spiritual posits

- order - knowledge - power

all finally - quite simply - emotional needs -
writ large)

reason - or focus - is not outside of - or a special
case of contingency

it is just the idea - formalized - of focus points

points of consciousness

(generalized)

reason has more to do with place - posit -

we order the world in thought - simply to defy it

there is an imperative here

without such decision

decision to limit - to engage - to control

there is no basis for action

- from the point of view of consciousness

there will be action regardless of consciousness -
or its existence

this ordering though

this positing of reason

is - outside of the accident of consciousness -
of no purpose

contingency - in itself - without what Satre calls
- 'the for itself'

is pure being

and this purity cannot - is not impinged upon -
altered - changed

at this level of understanding -

of consciousness - there is no focus

consciousness - metaphorically speaking - dissolves
itself

here we are in the realm of pure contemplation

strictly speaking - the union of mind - in being -
that is oneness -

beyond this - no description

no need
