Hate is Auto-Exaleiphic
When we love, we love the fact that we love.We love to love.Love is auto-telic* (self-reinforcing).When we hate, we hate the fact that we hate.We hate to hate.Hate is auto-exaleiphic** (self-limiting).Notice this distinction in yourself.-* Auto-Telic: auto is Greek for "self" and "telos" is Greek for "goal" = self-reinforcing, self-driven, a goal in and of itself** Auto-Exaleiphic: auto is Greek for "self" and "exaleipho" is Greek for "wipe out, obliterate" = self-limiting (a term I coined for the purpose of this blogpost as the opposite for auto-telic).

Mind is a boggled and neologistically tetra-tuned through self-referencing and self-collapsing Moebiusque spins around the double-helical axis of subjectivity and objectivity...It's impossible to read. it's impossible not to try to read... This work has the complexity of I-Ching-on-meth... It has the simplicity of Tao Te Ching-on-weed... It's a simultaneous trip inside and outside, a work of cosmology and phenomenology at once...

We are composite creatures. But we are not made of ourselves.

Do we believe conclusions of logic or do we believe in the conclusion of our senses? A choice of epistemological model sets the tone for living.
