October 31 ’23
The masks people wear
cold, but such care;
and oh how they stare
from those holes
though.
The folly of their ways,
pompous, fickle knaves;
but oh they just dance
to their graves
though.

You lie in your bed.
You lie in your head.
And you’ll lie when you’re dead.
It’s all the same,
below.
So look into the glass
at that precious waxy mask
and know that it won’t last
nothing will,
no.

Graininess... Similar to the way that, in architecture, a naked post and beam brings to mind the fundamental nature of most architecture — graininess brings to mind the absence of information within the photographic gesture.
Further, as it is with designer Augustina Lavickaite, this foregrounded absence hints at the fundamentally limited nature of all capturing. Information inescapably is “simplifying complex realities.” That is, always, most is missing.

These first few lines are the general aphoristic returns for the week. They are raw and uninterpreted; there to use how you’d like. (The specific readings follow.)
- Be watchful for treachery.
- Do not pretend to be surprised by treachery.
- Act with restraint.
- Keep on truckin’.

From “M.S.”: One of our major preoccupations is the disturbing existence of most human’s aggressive confidence. ALL humans by their very nature/structure are perspective/knowledge deficient — even in the rare case when people are robustly informed about a single subject, the knowledge is only in one direction and highly exclusive. To us it seems that human senses and human cognitive abilities should be defined by their limitations, rather than by their potential. Two questions: why are people so falsely confident? And how does a sensitive, self-aware (thus not outwardly confident) person deal with all of these fucking over confident (increasingly dangerous) humans?!
* * *
Those that know, know that the only real thing to know is that one can only know very little, therefore, they will always be on the outside looking in (at all the fucking know-it-alls).
Yes, the world is primarily a place of double-dealers with weapons forged in fear.
Our advice (really) try your hardest to act and think with restraint — and in the words of Robert Hunter: keep on truckin’...

Complete Reading
This week we pulled The King of Cups (reversed). Upright, there is healthy equity between elements typically in strife — like, art/science, middle-class/aristocracy, etc.. When reversed, as it is here, there is treachery and wickedness. Where is the latter grossness coming from?
Our first and only hexagram this week is #56, The Wanderer. “Strange lands and separation are the wanderer’s lot...” Here we have a depiction of the outsider and advice as to their general comportment. “When a person is a wanderer and stranger, they should not be gruff nor overbearing. They have no large circle of acquaintances, therefore should not give themself airs. They must be cautious and reserved; in this way they protect themself from evil. If they are obliging toward others, they win success... A wanderer has no fixed abode; their home is the road. Therefore they must take care to remain upright and steadfast, so that they sojourn only in the proper places, associating only with good people. Then they have good fortune and can go on their way unmolested.”
