64.12.96.74
I read your letter on Sunday late, and I took to searching on Deleuze and Guattari for some hours.
It is a car I can ride in but certainly not drive!
Fascinating, but I am hoping that you can suggest an eyebrow pencil way above mine! ha, no it's very beyond my hardrive at the moment and if you can suggest a good place to begin?
Or a class for beginners!
I would appreciate. I love your writing, ideas and intentions towards conciousness! You must be a Philosophy and English Doctorate. Because the terminology of rhizomes and so forth, oh yes and you must study physics too? It's great to corresp. with you having such tools. Im a intuitive sort of person I hope! I have a capacity for info. but I really don't have a wardrobe of high falutin trimmings just yet.
Somehow I am afraid that I will loes myself in formal energy, but who knows!
As far as Schizophrenia is concerned.
My exp. is as an survivor within the so-called psyche health system.I have many people in my life who have either died or are alive and it is a ha.. ha normal part of my life. So if I was born within this sensitive machinery, it's normal to me!
I do feel a bit a betrayal within myself today as Schizophrenia in a litteral sense vs. an abstract idea in medical or philosophical. My Sister has Scz and her entire life is dedicated to exterminating all the potential she has just to keep up with the status quo. So she must appear normal no matter the pain and i am outraged but hey? She's not MONK!
My fav. musician when I was 9yrs old was Thelonius Monk who suffered from schizoaffective they call it sort of No. So. Ea. and West! A compass of the uncharted in all directions. But, his music spoke to me since I was a child and I used to ask my father? Did he get bored and change all the strings in the piano and then never change them back?
At least in music, Mental Illness has not been demonized. But, ever since then? It's as if I have gone out of my way to cont. on radio stations, cable channels too epic for mainstream.
The diff. betwicks actual schizophrenia and societal? May not be very different and if we could look in the mirror and say? Oh yess, that's me? I doubt there would be as much scrofulous scandal.
I think what I am intuiting at a glance of Deleuze and Guartarri is that Schizophrenia is almost a fact of nature? Non-linnear association and multible levels of infusion are much more common in nature than "representational-semiotic"
accumulation. I see it sort of as pc Dos vs. Mac or something in my no brow eyes.
Remembering and assigning a stage entrance in an amphitheatre with enforces symbols, language, a clumsy ballet of inorganic dance just above a tornado. I guess it's like the emperor has no clothes or the wizard of oz. This great force of original nature suppressed where every one is drinking evian water when they are up to there shoulders in a beautiful spring.
The tenacity of outdated interior furniture, wearing a wire hoop skirt in a corvette all the systems are collapsing onto itself. But, I am sure you are right nature has it all down pat.
Thank you! and I will email you if thats ok?
in case you have any suggestions for my first class in Deleuze and Guattari. The rhizomatic makeover of Dolci and Gabbana in my brain, so it can make a beautiful cabinet of neural pathways for such energy to reside.
Thank you, and you are a wonderful writer and thinker!
Susan
