...Ellul tells us that everything in the Bible is contradiction and that there is revelation only as the contractions hold together... that truth is made up of actual contradiction, that the "either-or" mode the West has been engaged in for centuries has caused us to forget the great synthesis. "But (I would say almost ontologically) we are unable to accept the existence of opposites or to hold together two ends of a chain that are logically exclusive." The knowing in great synthesis is not the knowing of technique. The knowing of technique... is a knowledge of disjunction and exclusion...
"It is Ellul's charge that technique is an essentially reductionistic intentionality and that reducing all to the political is the first phase of its dominance. If technique is all-encompassing, that is not Ellul's fault."
The sky looked even more beautiful with the sunglasses on. Orange tint giving contrast to the blue and white, a dialog now forming on the lens. I think something in the pink wig i was wearing caused me to cough. So eventually i took it off.
Ghosts, I hear, often repeat the tasks they've done in life. I look to the sky... distant. I've begun to notice all sky gods are male. Ellul says that when he was alive, he was never surrounded by music like we are today. There is music everywhere today. It is a constant enclosure, regenerating a certain state of neurochemical rewiring...
Friend, did you know the males of the Crocodile People, of the Bakwena tribe, will go through scarification, hundreds maybe thousands of scars on their bodies, tiny cuts covered with ash, to become a man. The blood loss during the rite of passage is considered the mother's blood. After this ritual, i hear, you are no longer related to her.
Ellul became a Marxist in his teens and a Christian at 22.
