0014 The human, Kanzelberger writes, “aspires to know more and more of the being of nature in its natural constitution.”  Humans are always busy trying to figure out what is happening_3a.  What does it mean to me_3b?  Our objective potential_1btries to make sense of each subjective potential_1a, resulting in our fallible phantasms_2b.

The human sees the cat strike the bird_2a, witnessing perfection in the cat and privation in the bird.

The cat subjectively_1a wants to objectively_1b wound the bird.

The human throws a guess_2b as surely as the cat throws its paw.

0015 A phantasm_2b does not gain the full potential of its objectivity_1b until it becomes intersubjective_1b.  In order to become intersubjective, it must be constellated_2b.

0016 An objective phantasm_2b can become intersubjective_1b, in two, non-exclusive ways, through judgment_2c and through discourse_2a.

In the first option, the intersubjective_1b stands at the gates of the suprasubjective_1c.  Passage leads to a judgment_2c.

In the second option, the object_2b stands at the gates of human blather_1a.

0017 Blather?

An event_2a gives rise to a phantasm_2b, in the mind of a beholder, who, without delay, decides to release that phantasm_2bfor someone else to hear_2a.  The decision_3c casts the phantasm_2b down, like a bolt of lightning, into an event_2a, born of human subjectivity_1a.

0018 The observer says, “Did you see that? That cat broke the bird’s wing.”

To which the graduate student replies, “Say what?”

“That cat is evil!”, the observer declares.

“Oh no, God made all cats in His goodness. But, still, the cat’s action may be a symbol of an evil, murderous and immoral spirit.  The symbol doesn’t apply to the cat.  The cat becomes a symbol to us.”
