Signalism
"We
are now entering the Mutara Nebula"
Spock,
The Wrath of Khan
Realms
of life and death
Battle
in the Mutara Nebula between Captain Kirk, a man who cheated death,
and Khan, genetically engineered genius, who also yearned for eternal
living, is a masterpiece of a generation sprung around the idea of
Gene Roddenberry's - "Star Trek."
Anyone
who has tried to reach the truth with his thoughts, ended up in the
nebula, far away from the contours of the distinctive . Therefore,
those believing in reason steal time and space from the opaque,
incomprehensible and thus frightening. The result is a feeling of
vulnerability=security, as well as the stress of life preservation.
That is built into the nervous system of living beings, as a
reactive, reflex mechanism.
Feelings
are states of life and are opposed to the uncertain and the unnamed
which they interpret as - the state of death, an area where there is
no chain of causation. In other words, the area beyond the boundaries
of being, is seen as preceding the Big Bang, the beginning of life
and distancing from the death (the incomprehensible, indiscernible)
in which, paradoxically, rules the principle of equally distributed
energy (entropy).
The
realm of the nebula/death marks life as different from itself, and
from which one should move away, not pursue it.
Thus
works two-dimensional, two-way mind.
Fear,
the true face of such a mind, sees things upside down: in the natural
science the state of entropy, heat death, is seen as the ultimate
outcome of the collapse of the so-called isolated
system. Thus,
death is both before and after Genesis. This is how a straight line
turns into a circle.
A
step into the three-dimensional thinking gives us a picture of the
bubble, which is completely surrounded by vacuum, but, fortunately -
outer space stretches on its own, and, so it seems, there is no
danger that this baffling force of death will eventually destroy
life. On the contrary, three-dimensional mind feels safe in its
stretchy aporia. And nonchalantly.
Space-time
continuum, that is about the limit of the civilized mind. Cozy womb
(matrix) within which a standard duration of life is established,
along with the
probability that mediocrity will continue stretching in accordance
with the basic idea of expanding into itself.
Thus
works the three-dimensional mind. The mediocre mind.
Here we talk about
the paradox of life, because life is the one that remains
unexplained. If the explanation happened, life would lose its main
feature - isolation [1]
from knowledge. Survival of life depends on the inability to
understand, that is, on the ability to project imaginary outcomes as
and instead
of the truth. Life is formal versus informal. It manifests itself as
a tendency,
and as such falls short of cognition.
With
this problem equally deal both philosophy and art.
Both
activities, at the crossroads of life and death, have experienced
duplication, philosophy has split into the mystical and the
rational/sensual and art into the abstract (informal) and realistic
(formal).
In
attempting to explain or falsely explain the world, there have been
various historical events and trends. One has moved towards death and
the other towards life.
In
mystical philosophy defining death is the culmination of cognition -
from this viewpoint, life is seen as the suffering. In art, the freed
energy, which has been scientifically identified as
entropy,
and in the theory of art more precisely, as expressionism,
produces a vibrant world of challenges, as an explosion that can be
contained and kept inside the one moment and one point.
In
philosophy (Zen,
Taoism, Apeironism,) too,
existential knowledge is a collapse into a single point, which is
both pre- and identical to the Big Bang.
In
both cases, cognition is clearly discerned from reason and is not the
result of logical simulation of cognition. On the contrary, the basic
method which leads to cognition is analytical - discerning,
devastating.
Artistic
and philosophical vanguard
It
should be clearly said that the vanguard does not belong to the idea
of art, as in social superstructure of civilization. Art was like
philosophy, in historical times, stolen from mysticism, where its
origin and home are. Then there was the false effort to reasonably
determine it (so that the bubble can include the vacuum around),
aesthetic theories sprang up, attempts to fit it into religious and
political ideologies, and finally art has been thrown at the market -
the free
market,
together with other
civilizations' garbage, completely devalued - stripped of the
mystical, that actually never in history could have any real value.
Vanguard
investigates the
unknown. While doing so it also penetrates inside the Unknowable and
communicates its findings to the main horde. Which, in turn, is not
interested at all in the Unknowable. The horde is only interested in
what is there to eat, of which one - lives.
The horde does not
need the vanguard and it forgoes it by all means. The Great Khan
needs explorers/crooks of the Walter Raleigh kind, who will announce
that somewhere, in a strange world which needs to be colonized, there
are mountains and rivers full of gold (Eldorado). The horde needs
such knowledge that will move stupid masses to the wanted direction.
A specific image is needed and not the story of the Formless.
[2)
The
need for change, to loosen the bonds, is the condition for the
creation of the vanguard. But often, the effort involved gets reduced
to polemic debate with members of the established, traditional
culture, while the areas awaiting for the light to be shed on them
are ignored. What connects people is the idea that communication
depends on the medium - on conversing, and on the insistence that
everything must happen through mediation of society. Because of that,
there are many attempts to behave vanguard-wise, but they often end
up in the form of graffiti on the walls that are not jumped over.
Signalism
- vanguard of exclusiveness
The
founder of the vanguard movement of Signalism, Miroljub Todorovic,
was not inhibited by the mentioned need to do his own thing in
concert with the existing "flows", which could rather be
called stale ponds than clear streams.
Even
his first attempts to introduce, at that time, an inappropriate
content into the present poetic context, which he then called
Scientism,
caused an automatic and mindless response from the on-duty
supervisors of cultural events. With their shallow,
quasi-philosophical and quasi-theoretician views, they dug for
themselves a deep grave.
Luckily,
and that's what ignorant cowards do not know, when a person puts
pressure on the Unknowable, new spaces are open in which existence is
not under duress. What prevents the formation of a series of
conditioning is a method of deconstruction, as a filter through which
is passed the experienced reality. This purifies it and releases it
from the power of pursuit, caused by the introduction of memory and
projecting, as a means to establish the false persistence.
Signalism
of Miroljub Todorovic is characterized by an effort to deconstruct
one-sided perception of life esthetics (Planet),
for him a cosmic consciousness is a pincer maneuver of momentary
passing through matter and its whirls, where the charge used for the
analysis of processes is stored in the form of absolute speed - which
is the poetic energy that is not consumed in worshiping of the
form.On the contrary, the duration of form is realized in the focus
of force, and forms remain with it and do not deteriorate as is the
case in nature. Thus the living remains in the very act of creation.
One
must have enough experience, force, to return the world he loves back
into possession, while by doing so it is inevitably changed and
translated into the forceful form of existence.
This
difference in intelligence of Signalist poets and those who borrow
their mind from (traditional) patterns - is insurmountable. It
represents the difference between life and death. Intelligence is
what is lacking in life. Life is afraid of and renounces
intelligence.
Signalism
did not simply reject tradition. It critically sifted it and kept
what was valuable, adding new members to the content of reality, but
it rejected the uncritical method of imitating old masters. The
Master is not a historical category, once and for all given as a role
model. One can still be an authentic sage at present day.
What
allowed the existence of Signalism and its ever greater and more
powerful proliferation, after more than forty years, is the clarity
of expression and the method used by the poet. Signalism does not
tolerate and will not allow repetition. Todorovic and others, create
cycle after cycle, but they differ from each other - by content,
perceiving position, tempo and resonance, in continuous detection and
alignment of new poetic expressions.
Intelligence
or Indulgence?
It
is much easier to pay a priest and get forgiveness, than to be smart
and resolve the problem of "sinful" nature on your own.
In
the film, The
Wrath of Khan, mentioned
at the beginning of this short essay, the base of drama is a clash
between two worlds, which only seem to resemble each other, but
differ substantially. Khan is the undisputed, all-knowing leader, of
proven and documented intelligence. But his intelligence operates
only within the well-known and predictable. Therefore, it is unjustly
called by that name. Intelligence can not be proven by relationship
to the known - that is but submission to the enslaving relationship
towards the basic idea of a perfect, isolated system.
In
the Mutara Nebula there are no protocols. Captain Kirk is free to
create rules that will turn his apparent weaknesses into advantage.
It only takes a moment of focusing, summarizing into the point, to
overcome the seemingly invincible opponent.
Analytical method of
cognition and creation, also called stochastic
[3]
- means that there are enough empirical elements to be able to
improvise. [4]
Ironically, the method that relies on the unpredictability of the
outcome gives excellent results in the field of creativity.
Experience plus the lack of representation of possible outcomes
(predictions) results in a strong and active creation which, though
novel,
has, as a system, all the pieces necessary for spiritual existence in
eternity, as opposed to the notion of perpetual renewal and
rejuvenation in an area where all is doomed - the realm of life.
Which is, as was already said, the mind of a straight line.
Terminological
confusion is obvious. The expression life
can be used in both cases. Also, death can mean both a good and a bad
outcome. The reason for this is the biased and stubborn refusal to
investigate death as an opportunity and basis for a higher quality
existence, this because one-, two- and three-dimensional mind is
being used. For proper understanding and overcoming the usual
interpretation an unlimited mind is required.
Another
word or two on the System
One
of the "mighty" ideas, which are the most confusing, is the
idea of the
system. The
primitive mind imagines an overall system, as for example the one on
which Plato wrote of as "the highest good", namely - the
state. But not only the state, also "Eco-system", Gaia,
social system, "isolated" system, or like in Hegel, "The
Spirit as History," and so on.
Primitive
mind, following Aristotle's principle of categories, wishes to
monitor the world as a system of stored parts (thus automatically
regulated parts), while hoping for their lawful interrelation. As if
in nature there were a law or laws by which all things conduct. This
"law" is the very nature of the organized seeing, therefore
it is - in perception
and not in the
nature of the seen. This is because the basic property of an idea,
projection, is - self-justification. It sees itself as - the law.
Science
introduces the
chance
into the game,
throwing the emphasis on the probability that there is legitimacy.
That is The Game Theory. Here is stochastic
differently
understood from the above mentioned, because the probability is still
insisting on projecting as an event, and the matter is not brought to
the point where time is not a factor (but there is a
conditioned sequence
of events).
Science is not
prepared to face the uncertain.
The
present is always uncertain, because it does
not see the
future. And
it does not see it because there isn't one. Hegel monitored the past
and saw legitimacy in it, and then drew the conclusion that all is
well. Because there is a "legitimacy". And that is
self-justification.
I will get now to
the point. Stochastic or Signalist relation to the system is that the
system is something emerging and only currently exists as "final".
System will not "be finished" someday. The system is as we
see it
at this moment - and
as such we use it. The
poet creates a cycle of poems, or a novel, using the stochastic
method, not knowing in advance which actual words, and in what
interrelation, he will use. All is uncertain to the very end.
Nonetheless, the method that feeds exclusively on the intent not to
predict [5]
, creates a new
world that is momentarily seen with all the necessary "laws",
which actually make it a world. This proves that the world does not
become from a previous world, following the laws of conditioning.
Therefore, there is no movement of the Spirit as History. There is no
"progress" throughout history. Properly understood
evolution, without an ideological superstructure, is just that. There
is no "time-line".
Signalist
world-system is a dynamic space. The force that makes it is
knowledge. The world is as much as we know about it. The way we
comprehend is the key moment of creation. If we "comprehend"
in accordance with the previous "knowledge" we will never
experience The Creation of the World, because the world has already
been created, and being so we have been denied the pleasure to create
ourselves. Thank you very much! Created world needs janitors and
guards, victims and martyrs.
The
Game Theory is different from the art of playing. The artist plays
with knowledge as with a force that creates. In this gamble, the
artist will always win talon. Professional gamblers, who actually
never play of chance, will lose anyway. Because they are unable to
predict or control creation. Created outcome belongs entirely to the
creative method. And causal method can only deal with the - created.

The campaign for colonization of Mars has already began, and it will
surely follow the notorious Dutch scheme of settlement of the New
Worlds (religious persecution and the like, produce a bunch of
refugees easy to displace and even be charged for the transport,
which is the basis of historical economics).
