[lit-ideas] Re: Heil Heidegger?

I submit, in keeping with the traditions of structural anthropology and Freudian
psychoanalysis, that the answer rests in the character of the religious mind or
mythic worldview. 

The hand that creates cannot create without conveying a moment of its essence to
that created. And that essence is self-identical and self-same across the
variety of entities created. In transmitting its essence to the created, the
hand connects the seemingly disparate natures of created products and gives
them a common integrity, an integrity participating in and marked by the power
of the creator. Supreme unity ceates contingent unity, yet the image of unity
remains the same. (God's finger touches the human's finger, thus creating life
that knows its origin because it was already there at the moment of touching.)

Also, because human thinkers are created in the image of the creator, and the
thinking of the creator thinks everything simultaneously and as a unity of
Being, any object thought by a human thinker is necessarily connected to other
objects thought by her. Only a series of as yet undisclosed inferences leads
from one's view of the law of noncontradiction to one's views of the politics
expressed in Sarah Pailin's new book.

And should you find anything inconsistent in my views here, remember that nobody
is able even to be assured of her own rational consistency much less the
consistency of others. My bill is in the mail.
