viens, oui, oui
Saying adieu, releasing ourselves into the undecidable mystery of the impossible.
...saying goodbye to god (saying adieu a dieu)
...saying goodbye, knowing there is no god (a-dieu, in the sense of not-god, dieu sans dieu)
...speaking, undecidably, to (no) god.
Saying adieu so that we might let the impossible eventually come, to say welcome to the advent of the mystery, to release ourselves into the impossible event (the advent of the wholly other, ganz Andere, tout autre).
Saying a prayer, praying like the devil for a god without god, performing the ritual, raising holy hell to prepare set and setting for the incoming of the other, for the in-vention of the impossible event.
Some french friends imparted to me a prayer to speak in the occasion of such psychedelic rituals, and I adopt this prayer in french, as a 'foreign' language already begins to invoke the other, in this case, with only four words for inventing the advent of the event.
adieu
viens,
oui, oui
The first word: uttering goodbye/to god/without god, leaving theism and atheism behind, saying goodbye to being and non-being. Saying adieu, the ritual prepares for the incoming of that which cannot be prepared for. The second word begins the excessive affirmation that accompanies the gesture of adieu. The second word is simple: viens, come, come in, welcome. The final two words perpetuate this excessively affirmative gesture: oui, oui, yes, yes, I say yes, yes I said yes.
adieu -- viens, oui, oui.
