Progress and Collapse

Exile and nourishment.

Human ghost and human desire.

Deprivation and abundance.

Optional and required.

Genesis and precarity.

Exile requires the lack of nourishment.

What is a movement without a beginning and an end?

A line must start and end in two points, like movement.

What is exile to nourishment then?

Is exile both the start and end? No, deprivation is genesis. The absence of nourishment is the start of exile.

Is exile just the end then? No, the presence of nourishment is the end of exile.

Exile makes movement possible.

Have we progressed as a human if we remain a point rather than the plotting of lines?

The presence of progression requires movement. It may be physical, metaphorical, or metaphysical. In what world can you progress without change?

The question is not "Have we progressed as a human?"

Rather, the question is "Does progression as a human require movement?"

If not, does exile serve purpose?

Above all, does human progression live in a two dimensional space?

It is possible that my perception is that of a three dimensional creature: doomed to see two dimensions in illusion, sincerely believing that I see in three dimensions.

That is the physics of human sight. Perception is incapable of seeing ultimate reality.

Exile is not the start. Exile is not the end.

Exile is not felt in its presence, but only in its echo. The aching of the soul.

Nourishment is not the space between.

Human progression is not materially required. Human progression of the soul is not physical.

Do we exist in cycles of exile and nourishment? If human progress were plotted in relation to exile and nourishment, where does the line lead to?

If our corpse remains the host, then have we moved at all?

Human progression is not two dimensional.

Human progression is the collapse of movement inward, the collapse of space and dimension.

I understand it as a two dimensional black hole, a collapse so total that it defies shape, movement, and the illusion of escape.

Movement is a fracturing spiral rather than a line.

Is it even possible for us to climb out of this spiral?

It is possible that nourishment, home, is found in this collapse.

If this is true, then nourishment and exile collapse into one another. And then nourishment and exile are the same.

Progress is inward obliteration.
