featherynscaleNotes from 4 a.m. Sunday morning...
It's odd the things that comfort - the second law says that the universe tends toward disorder. Entropy, dissolution are the end result of everything. So you don't have to worry about whether or not something will fall apart. You can say with certainty that it will, the only question is when.
All things are transitory - there is nothing to fear. Fear itself is transitory, as we learned from Dune - I will permit it to pass over me and through me, and when it has gone past, I will turn my inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
But not for long.
Immanentize the eschaton? Check.
Bring on the Kali Yuga? Check.
End of the world as we know it? Check. And I feel fine.

Re: Immantentize
Date: 2003-11-11 08:24 am (UTC)I simply consider it a necessary element of General Competency to be able to understand symbol sets and methodology of different systems (even if they insist it isn't a "system"). Much like I try to be able to eat and shop in as many languages as possible.
