"on the chapter stopping,
what a powerful chapter.
the metaphor of dying in the moment.
even thinking that the breath we breathe is also being done by the multiple parts, their responsibility while we have stopped.
sorry if it doesnt make sense, first time making some notes and logging the reading." — Sep 06, 2025 12:29AM

“Leaves from the vine,
Falling so slow
Like fragile tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Little soldier boy
Come marching home
Brave soldier boy
Comes marching home”

“Thinking leads inexorably to the abyss. It did not work for Tolstoy. It might not even have worked for Nietzsche, who arguably thought more clearly about such things than anyone in history. But if it is not thinking that can be relied upon in the direst of situations, what is left? Thought, after all, is the highest of human achievements, is it not?

Something supersedes thinking, despite its truly awesome power. When existence reveals itself as existentially intolerable, thinking collapses in on itself. In such situations—in the depths—it’s noticing, not thinking, that does the trick.”
