The Riemann Sum of the Soul - Dissection, Kenosis, and the Infinite Whole

  July 13th. The hour before the first ray of sun. The silence in this room has always tasted of anticipation - of something unfinished, breathing in the dark corners and waiting to be named, while the ink seeps into the paper slowly, almost reluctantly, as if the words themselves fear the weight I place upon them. I re-read what we began scribbling in the previous journal, and I think about how we entangle our own threads. How all our talk about modern science and its quiet, yet irreversible vulgarization is sometimes made to seem so complex, when the problem is actually damn simple, stripped bare, and painfully human. We have committed the sin of dissection; we have turned knowledge into a dry, pragmatic trade for making money, building careers, and finding false security.

In psychoanalysis, fire and water are often used as symbolic representations of different psychological forces and drives.

Fire is often associated with energy, passion, and desire, representing the instincts and desires that drive a person's behavior. It symbolizes the libido, or life force, and is seen as a source of both creation and destruction. In psychoanalysis, fire can represent the aggressive and destructive aspects of the unconscious mind, such as anger, envy, and hatred.

Water, on the other hand, is often associated with emotions, subconscious thoughts, and unconscious desires. It symbolizes the unconscious mind and the emotional drives that influence a person's behavior. In psychoanalysis, water can represent the flow of unconscious thoughts and desires, which can sometimes lead to conflict with conscious desires.

Both fire and water play important roles in the unconscious mind and can be used in psychoanalysis to understand the inner conflicts and desires that drive a person's behavior. By exploring these symbols and their meanings, psychoanalysts can help individuals gain a deeper understanding of their unconscious motivations and desires, and work towards resolving any unconscious conflicts that may be impacting their lives.
