NOUS AND SCION
At the Heart of the Soul
Such that selfhood refers to soul, consciousness and awareness refer to heart and eye (respectively); and such that selfhood applies to consciousness and awareness (as soul applies to heart and eye); thus we derive self-consciousness and self-awareness. But such that the self may yet be unconscious, we might also say that the heart has no eye.
In that self-consciousness might lead to conscious-awareness by way of self- awareness (an awareness of awareness); as such, self-conscious-awareness would apply an eye to the heart (a nous) through an awareness of (and a subsequent filtering-out of) self-consciousness.
Thus: Nous would refer to a type of consciousness that cannot be reasoned (as such the process of its inception neither follows the arrows from self to self-consciousness nor from self-consciousness to self-awareness or conscious-awareness). As well, it is not rationalized from an ‘existential’ context (as to consciousness without selfhood).
Rather, the nous actualizes as pure awareness (self-awareness and conscious-awareness minus self-consciousness) BUT in the form of an aware self (the Scion, so named).*
*scion is generally defined as a descendent or heir
Art
The background is a litho. I added (and colored) the cig.
Two pictures superimposed with smoke added.
(Alice wanted to see examples of my “art”. Here: Showing how I create posters. I wanted these to express an idea without words).
Happy New Year?
From now until the latter part of 2008, many prophecies are going to begin to be fulfilled … Some of these prophecies concern the demise of the United States over the next year, which will be followed by man’s final world war. This last war will be the result of clashing religions and the governments they sway. Billions will die! This time will far exceed even the very worst times in all human history.

Happy Thanksgiving
A Slice to Go: Leftover dessert doubles as guest favors when packaged in boxes that are as pretty as, well, pie. Photocopy template at 400 percent; trace onto card stock. Cut out the image with scallop scissors along scalloped edges and regular scissors on solid lines. With a straightedge and a bone folder, score paper along dotted lines. Fold along scored lines, and secure tabs with double-sided tape. Line box with parchment paper, place a slice inside, and tie on a tag.
