Dichten

A blog of Poetry: to say, to speak, the verb for to make poetry, dichten. Poetry is the condition for the possibility of philosophy, the condition that fulfills its own condition, a sort of causa sui that doesn't leap but grounds in its disdain for the question of ground. This blog hates itself in its metaphysics, but achieves the height of nothing...

"In addition to the choice of words, positioning of words, and the sequencing of words, it is above all the entire overall resonance of the poetic telling that "expresses" the so-called meaning. Yet this overall resonance of the telling is not simply the result of the positioning of words and arranging of lines, but rather the reverse: the overall resonance of the telling is the initial, creative resonance that first intimates the language; it is the origin not only for the arranging and positioning of the words, but also for the choice of words, an origin that in its resonance constantly anticipates the use of words. This overall resonance of the telling, however, is from the outset determined by the fundamental attunement of the poetry, which takes form within the inner outline of the whole. The fundamental attunement for its part grows out of the particular metaphysical locale of the poetry in question." Martin Heidegger, Hoelderlin's hymns "Germania" and "The Rhine", translated by William McNeill, not yet published.

The Method of Discovery

The elderly have learned alot and have alot of experience but this does not necessarily mean that they have stumbled across some truths of existence, the secrets of life that lead to power and peace of mind, that come only from, most who do not succeed think it painful while to succeed you must enjoy and want it, thinking about thinking itself. You must analyse why you think (or believe) what it is that you think (or believe), how you came to think (or believe) this,

why you think what it is that you think is the reason why you think what you think

Und so weite...Until you have come across the heart of the matter.

From this you can realize not only who you truly are but you can predict or even understand the way certain others work, if not all others.

Also, if you take every question to this level you will be able to out argue everyone who has not taken their questions this far, which is most people, and eventually, as in my case, you will not enjoy arguing with anyone anymore and will simply remain silent and agree with the most simple arguments because I don't want to have to teach the secrets of existence to people who may not understand, who will rephrase what I have said in a confusing, misunderstood, and incomprehensible manner. I might as well just submit myself to everyone who would not be able to understand fully what I have to give them, or to those who would not appreciate what they have received. RESTRAIN YOUR TRUCULENCE and submit even if it's painful to you if those around you would not understand the NEED to RESTRAIN their TRUCULENCE, or would misunderstand and confuse your arguments, giving them away to people who would do the same. Wisdom is precious: you don't want people overcoming your arguments with your own arguments or even simply spitting your arguments back at you. Secrets must be kept, basically.

The method was easily put but may be difficult to understand, as I intended. This method should bring you to the principles, bases, origins, roots, foundations, beginnings of the thoughts in question. More importantly though, if you were to question the way you tend to act or behave in particular situations you would find the reasons why you do these things, the beliefs and principles that you hold that cause you to act in these ways, the reasons why you hold the beliefs or principles that are causing you to act in this way, and if you still believe, the reasons why you believe in these reasons,

or even the reasons why you believe in the reasons why you believe in these reasons,

etc... Method explained. We must do this if we are to come to truly learn about ourselves and from this and observation/experience come to learn about human nature in general.
