Table (oikos nomos), that which is wasted, under the table (land of the dead….)

That which is under the table, is a mirror of that which is above the table

(If the signs of nature, are mirrored in the signs of culture

Are not the signs of culture so too mirrored in the signs of nature

Metaphor, metaphorm metamorphosis,

(John Poinsot, TRACTATUS DE SIGNIS

Signs in the Dust. A theory of natural culture and cultural nature 2019, Nathan Lyons)

The signs of the body, ill at ease,

Suffering (in the world)

Affected by the outer

The signs of the (earthly) mind/body

The insect (by the cult)

The infect (the bug, …….the boggle, the spectre of death)

The body is not itself

(Gadamer, the enigma of health)

-on the one hand we need to be in tune, in balance with nature

In dialogue, to live

To reconcile the shadow

(To see under the table of civilisation)

On the other, we need to see that nevertheless, we do not feel at home,

Hence the uncanny,

The fear of death

We cannot perceive the forms, beyond the forms of the world (Plato’s cave)

Civilisation is the cultus,

CVLTVS

The knife that cuts

Creating the forms (of the table)

There is loss

The ‘run off’

The blood, the insect, the beggar, the boggle, the pawn, the slave, the pornē (the prostitute)

The scapegoat (the sacrifice), (*the pharmakon turns out to be the medicine and the poison)- an upset to the table, and the reminder we need, that the body is not whole, we are not healed, the forms of the table have cut up and divided the mind/body)

The DREX  

(The underside of the facts are the FAEX)

the dross, the scum

Inscribing the table

To take power, they create powder

dust

Which is itself a dormant power, waiting its TURN

The base of the table is unstable

The scapegoat will return KING

The king will become SCAPEGOAT

(Until we overcome the impulse for revolution)

(Until we can reconcile the division within the mind/body)

We need to understand where our impulses and drives have come from]

recognise the way we have entered a fiction of a world through language
