QIH'batlh Ehrenvolle Zerstörung


Book Description

Die logisch subduktiven Ansätze der klingonischen Philosophie sind terrestrisch-prozessualen Beschreibungsmustern überlegen. Sie blicken hinter die Prozesse, in die Prozesse hinein und schaffen dadurch eine kreative Dominanz. Die ehrlos-humanoide Geo-Metrie (Erdmessung) kann dem Konzept einer ehrenvollen Zerstörung der Chrono-Metrie nicht gerecht werden. Es ist deshalb notwendig, klingonische Beschreibungsmuster in die human-terrestrischen Denkungsformen einzubeziehen, damit eine interkausale Verknüpfung philosophischer und mathematischer Wechselwirkungen gelingt. Und da auf oktonionischer Ebene nur die klingonischen Ansätze eine Assoziativität gewährleisten, kann eine human-terrestrische graphische Überformung nicht tragfähig implementiert werden. Im Gegenteil: Die chrono¬metrische Ausprägung der Fano-Ebene zeigt eine klar überlegene, sehr ehrenvolle und außerordentlich subduktive Erhabenheit. Diese klingonische Erhabenheit schätzen wir. Diese klingonische Erhabenheit verteidigen wird. Es lebe der humanoide Klingonismus! Er lebe hoch, hoch, hoch! Kämpfen wir weiter, um den Geist zu bereichern.




Poetry from Beyond the Grave


Book Description

Poetry from Beyond the Grave is the first English publication of a large selection of poems by the Brazilian medium and Spiritist leader Francisco Cândido “Chico” Xavier. These poems, originally collected in the volume Parnaso de Além-Túmulo, were dictated to Xavier by a variety of spirits of Brazilian poets from the afterlife, as journeying souls or as witnesses of the spiritual city Nosso Lar, “our house.” Poetry from Beyond the Grave is a veritable collection of haunted writing, in which poets present their posthumous work as if they were alive. The brilliant translation by Vitor Pequeno is supplemented by an extensive afterword by Jeremy Fernando, who traces what it means to speak through the other.
