"Tip of da hat to Anon"
Commented from Anon.
"The world to which we belong is hideous, and appears as the most failed of all. In past worlds, it was possible to lose oneself in ecstasy, which is impossible in our world of educated vulgarity.
The advantages of civilization are offset by the way men profit: men today profit in order to become the most degraded beings." -Georges Bataille, "The Sacred Conspiracy"
My response.
"...to lose oneself in Ecstasy."
The closest we come is,"...the Pursuit of Happiness"
That lingers in our Constitution like a threat to our Owners, and a promise to the bleeped over Masses.
I view that phrase, "...the Pursuit of Happiness" as the only one worth really embracing in that document. This as a seed biding it's time. Waiting for the soil of our souls being just right for the planting.Then the great blossoming into what we were supposed to be in the first damned place!
