Mystery & Immanence

 " . . . and where you are is no good unless you can get away from It”

Everything is inherent in every
Thing; what's not a Thing
is nova beyond nova,
and the expansion of mercy descending.

Very good, as always.  Plus an interesting ride chasing down the quotation:   So far as I can recall I've read only one Flannery O'Connor novel (and it was not Wise Blood); I like my Southern Gothic in a more western, Cormac McCarthy blend.  Blood Meridian, for example:  "You never gave in to me."

I'm still playing with It in my underlining mythos. Using quotes to meet/mean both what they mean and more than what they mean.
I've made an essay about Fear and Reality and Love. And I'm attempting to add more pop culture like Stephen King and other current references.
As It is a novel about fear and trauma, it is a hidden point that mercy in qabbalah is also connected to a hebrew word for Fear.
Which ties it to fear and trembling, and division and acceptance of difference as both fear and mercy.
These things are the context of O'Connor and McCarthy. The violence inherent in religion and culture and love that only exist in relation to each other.

I don't believe in absurdity, but I have faith in it.

I always endorse a behoof of intercontextual and extracontextual (if such exists) -ity. If we can allow Blake Swedenborg and Thomas Taylor, we can more often allow for Eliphas Levi in Baudelaire, Rimbaud and Joyce, which would open doors, while always closing others.

I meant underlying mythos, but not really.
