The classic "novel" The Red Lion:  The Elixir of Eternal Life, which was written by Maria Szepes during the second World War and published in Budapest, chronicles a man's search for the Elixir of Life.  This remarkable book revealed the broader Alchemy of human existence, but was soon banned by the government.

The Red Lion is perhaps more relevant to present time than ever, and will be the reference point for this Alfacast episode.

Far too long the term Alchemy has conjured imagery of superstitious wizardry, but the actual chicanery lies in the bastardization of science through linear chemistry.

This in-house conversation with the Alfa Vedic community is the perfect commencement for the life-changing events clearly on the near horizon.  We look forward to seeing you!

Clinton Ignatov | A McLuhan-syntonic Approach to Computer Literacy—Toppling the Pillars of Cyberspace
clintonthegeek
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhwLDQakjNA

Cyberspace is a fictional sensory environment with a traceable history. It is formally defined, much like the Euclidean space which Wyndham Lewis feared losing, and which Marshall McLuhan announced obsolete thirty years later.

Its origins lie in the mid-1960s with the programming language Simula which standardized the now-ubiquitous object-oriented approach toward computer programming. Combined with the file-systems of magnetic data storage devices and graphic user interfaces, cyberspace has become synonymous with computing and media as a whole. Examinations of cyberspace emphasize the fantastic and unreal nature of the medium, but seldom puncture through to the realities of computing itself.

The applied methods of Marshall McLuhan promise great exploratory and explanatory power in today’s media environment if, and only if, the precise nature of digital technology as machines and as media can be acknowledged in a way commensurate to all various perceptions of them. Unlike analogue media, whose inner-workings are discrete, computing devices employ the universal Turing Machine concept which renders their operations evasive of straightforward explanation. Modern media literacy absolutely demands some basic form of full-stack computer literacy, without any permissible exceptions or objections. The alternative is control over the programmable, invisible environment being ceded to an arbitrary, self-selected few who are granted the power of technical determination over the many.

 Oh, For the Love of Knowledge!—Default Friend Exclusive ----- August 17, 2022 / clintonthegeek@gmail.com / 0 Comments ----- Last article, I insisted that nearly everyone who popularizes McLuhan mangles him and his message. Why? If you want to think of causality in the sequential terms of linear cause-and-effect, then there are many causes. (Of course, when you read Laws of Media and Media and Formal Cause, you learn that cause-and-effect account for only a fourth of what causality is… but that formality would be a huge digression at this point.)

They are poor souls incapable of comprehending the nature of their environment, thrashing violently against a world which refuses to present reality to their senses. The paranoid might see them as slaves to mechanisms of control orchestrated in a grand conspiracy.

The medium of cyberspace distorts the humanity of those who are using it as a window onto the world, and onto the nature of people.

The wild, dangerous internet which terrified parents of the 90s was smuggled unrestricted into everybody’s pockets through the combination cellular telephone “upgrades” and free wifi. The freakshow of poorly-moderated internet communities was rebranded with the friendly sounding name “social media” and advertisement exhorted everybody climb aboard and share every detail of their lives with the world.

 McLuhan’s Synthesis—Part One
April 7, 2022 / clintonthegeek@gmail.com / 1 Comment

This is the beginning of a series explaining the road-not-taken in the academic field of literary criticism. The result has been the academic dominance of critical theory and a century of post-modernism (or Baudrillardian Simulation, or Orwellian historical revision, or however else you might put it).
Thee Thy, Though Thumb
The missing ingredient in all contemporary media analysis is appreciation for analogical proportionality. The reason this factor has been lacking, I think, is the catch-22 of requiring the faculty in order to develop it further. The difficulty is like that of Tom Thumb were he to hitch a ride with Jack up the beanstalk on a mission to educate the giants on the apples and the oranges: implicit barriers between a whole stack of several differing orders of magnitude must be overcome merely to put any modern situation into fluent human language!

For a second opinion, may I recommend William Kuhns’ 1996 review of the Nashe thesis from before its publication and wide availability. Kuhns tries to give away as much as he can within the space permitted, for curious readers unable to acquire a copy. You, however, can actually get one!

BILL KUHNS ------ THE WAR WITHIN THE WORD:
BILL KUHNS ------ MCLUHAN'S HISTORY OF THE TRIVIUM
    "Only the traditionalist can be radical," he would remark in 1947, four years after completing his thesis,
"The Place of Thomas Nashe in the Learning of His Time."

The sources into which he immerses himself in the thesis are profoundly traditionalist: the mainstream figures of Western thought from the pre-Socratic era to the period of Francis Bacon and Erasmus. But McLuhan's purposes haven't the faintest gloss of traditionalist habits of thought. He has returned to antiquity to retrieve an ancient quarrel, then reconfigured later disputes-philosophical, poetic, scientific-as resumed rounds in that ongoing but unacknowledged conflict between the forces of logic and analogy.

Today two great ironies fall in mingled shadow over the Nashe thesis.

The first is that it was never published. (In 1969 McGraw-Hill announced the upcoming publication in 1970, but it never appeared. Meantime, the sole available public copy, in the library of Trinity College, Cambridge, is reported to be dog-eared and ragged well beyond the normal expiration of a shelf volume.) Not only does the Nashe thesis provide indispensable early vistas on McLuhan's later thought, it is a document of quite independent significance: the only anciently rooted history of the Trivium, and particularly of its ignored member, grammatica, achieved in this century.

    But the absence of the Nashe thesis from McLuhan's available work tends to underscore a perhaps greater irony. The Nashe study contains, in historically fixed coordinates that are sighted as distantly as the Greeks, the exact precedents and traditions to which McLuhan's later thought belongs-indeed, the company to which he himself belongs. Even had McLuhan not written the Nashe thesis (if, conceivably, it were to have appeared from another pen) it would nonetheless have provided what arguably no other source yet does: a history of human thought and expression that can easily accommodate the likes of a Marshall McLuhan.

    He remarks, in a footnote early in Nashe, "We have taken over the attitudes of Renaissance controversialists without knowing what the controversies were originally about." He is referring to the feud between Ciceronians like Erasmus, Francis Bacon, Thomas Nashe, and the "extraordinary anti-Ciceronian movement which emerges in Machiavelli, Vives, Ramus, Montaigne...and which gives us our post-Renaissance world."

    But he is also announcing the precipice at which he makes the audacity of his leap into the Nashe thesis, a precipice that would decades later become almost synonymous with his name. He is suggesting an almost unheard-of interpenetration between ancient disputes and contemporary affinities, between severed historic traditions and the shape and nature of contemporary attitudes. In Nashe these interpenetrations have to do with the split Trivium: the war within the history of the word. In later works they deal with artifacts like the alphabet, printing, and TV.

 In his final summation, Laws of Media, McLuhan argues that all artifacts have the metaphorical structure of the word; indeed, their histories and effects are moulded by the same structural forces. The shaping duel of the Trivium is the historic crucible which will forge man's relationship to every technology to follow. In his Omega work, it's as if he were peering back almost forty years to its Alpha and sending a nod to the young inflamed man who had created it.

    He writes, in the Introduction to Nashe,

        In the first stage of this study Nashe had not even emerged to my attention. Once he had emerged, he tended to submerge himself again and again in what at first appeared to be a welter of conflicting objects of interest. Gradually some order began to appear in the multiple traditions and interests of the age which he reflects, and from those strengthening perceptions the figure of Nashe began to assume some definition.
END QUOTE APPARANTLY


    One can quickly recognize the young McLuhan's affinities for a figure like Nashe. C.S. Lewis has described him as "the supreme master of literary sansculottisme"-or those sometimes arch, sometimes startling verbal hybrids that made him perhaps the most efflorescent punster of the Elizabethan age. Nashe was a "Cambridge pet" in McLuhan's phrase, seemingly an assured PhD thesis subject awaiting a fresh line of attack. Father Ong has remarked tellingly of McLuhan's Cambridge experience that he came away from Cambridge with more than Cambridge had to offer. This could be said as well of Thomas Nashe. Nashe himself, who figures in this study of nearly 500 pages only from p. 351, is in many ways illustrative to the core argument, rather than a focus of it. And in the Introduction, McLuhan acknowledges:

        What the present study tries to do directly for Nashe, it does indirectly for his contemporaries; so that if Nashe appears to be a kind of appendix to a chapter in the history of education, he is really intended to be a focal point. Bacon or Donne would have served this function better in some ways than Nashe. It would have been possible to relate them more complexly to their age, in so far as they were more complex and comprehensive writers.



    It may well be a distinctively McLuhan approach that when he finds a figure compellingly perplex enough, he is led into an ever-encompassing exploration of what he would later call its "ground." One of history's livelier footnotes about Nashe was his ongoing feud with Gabriel Harvey. The two were writing broadsides at one another, using every fresh literary occasion to draw blood from one another; Thomas Middleton jibed of "the running a tilt of wits in booksellers' shops on both sides of John of Paul's churchyard." In 1599, the Archbishop of Canterbury ended the affair in announcing "that all Nasshes bookes and Doctor Harveyes bookes be taken wheresoever they may be found and that none of theire books bee ever printed thereafter." The feud passed into literary history as another vigorous Elizabethan romp. McLuhan intuited something more.

    One of his students at St. Louis at the time, Walter J. Ong, S.J., was examining the sixteenth century logician Peter Ramus and his effects on rhetorical training in the later Elizabethan era and beyond. (In McLuhan's files is a paper dated August 2, 1940 in McLuhan's Renaissance Graduate Reading Course: "The Provinces of Rhetoric, Poetic, and Science; a Preliminary Study, by Walter J. Ong.")

 Ong's later work on Ramus, showing the effects of typography on his hardening style of logic, would become a core argument in The Gutenberg Galaxy. And Ong has acknowledged his equal indebtedness to McLuhan in guiding him to Ramus. What seems to have driven McLuhan into an exhaustive history of the war between grammar and rhetoric on one side, and dialectic on the other, is the shadow of Ramus as it falls upon the Nashe-Harvey feud.

    He quotes Nashe's editor, R.B. McKerrow, describing Harvey: "The most noteworthy feature of his University career would seem to have been his partisanship of the Ramistic logic." And in examining Harvey's contributions to the feud, McLuhan shows his unfailing reliance on shredding Nashe with Ramus's "first lande...Logique." Nashe, however, comes at Harvey with the literary equivalents of roundhouse punches: summoning allegory, hyperbole, paradox, alliteration, pun, enigma, satire, invective, and virtually every other tack of Elizabethan rhetoric. This in itself may seem little more than two disparate personalities fighting with their disparate arsenals. But as McLuhan searched the tradition that reached from Ramus back to Aristotle, Plato and Socrates, then began investigating the tradition running from Nashe through Augustine back to Cicero and the pre-Socratics, he came to see something more: a conflict of which the prize was a control over the spoken and written word:

        The war between these literary camps is basically the opposition between dialectics and rhetoric to control the modes of literary composition; and the ramifications of this opposition stretch into the realms of ethics and politics, both in antiquity and in the Renaissance.

    The trivium and the quadrivium constitute what the ancients and later the medievals call the seven liberal arts. As Thomas Aquinas writes of them,
"These subjects are known as the trivium and quadrivium because by them, as if by certain roads, the eager mind enters into the secrets of philosophy."

 The arts of the trivium are the arts whereby one comes to know and express things, the arts of language, or the Logos: grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric. The quadrivium consists of the four classic disciplines of arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy. Why, McLuhan comes to ask in the history of the warring trivium, should the complementary facets of the Logos-the arts of exposition and interpretation (grammar), logic (dialectic) and persuasion (rhetoric)-come into conflict with one another? Why should the analogical and intuitive skills of grammar and rhetoric be challenged and subdued by logic? Why should the history of the trivium be a history of ascendancies, submissions, and capitulations? Why, in the history of the word, have there been such few and such rare moments when it was not at war with itself?

    Nothing so profoundly threatened McLuhan, or drove his searching imagination, as disharmony. And there is doubtless no theme so central to a comprehension of his early and later questioning as the theme of things irreducibly "split."
PIET: IS THAT LIKE 'BLACKENED WHITE' .. or irreversible inbreath ... OR 'IRREDEEMABLY SOFTENED' ??????

In his 1947 essay, "The Southern Quality," he describes American culture in its cleavages of North and South, and the further disjunctions of learning and sensibility in the North. In The Mechanical Bride-it is the source of his title essay-legs have been split from a woman's body, to stand alone on a pedestal. In "Coleridge as Artist," he invokes a Wyndham Lewis phrase to describe "the split between 'the physics of the Self and the Not-Self'" after Newton. And in the evolving galaxy of his thought after 1960, splits become the intractable dominion of virtually every technology to appear between the phonetic alphabet and the telegraph. The word is split from the tongue and the ear, learning is split from the richness of oral tradition, the privatized individual is split from the corporate awareness of things, and ineluctably-for McLuhan, the most anguishing of fractures-the head is split from the heart. For Byron, Baudelaire and Poe, he would write in 1944, the idea of evil isn't one "of Calvinistic depravity, but of the split man and the split civilization." As valid as it may have been for them, it was truer still for McLuhan.

piet: gendered philobrainophy .. brainofee budget balancer ... groundsplitting feefee feeder .. split grounding woofee waiverer ....

    In the beginning, McLuhan implies in the Nashe thesis (and proposes specifically over a decade to follow it), was the Logos, in which all knowledge, scientific and humanistic, is contained. There, eloquence and wisdom are identical, and all knowledge is unified in the tangible equations of the spoken and the known. The heart and mind of man had, so to speak, an Eden of one selfsame and encyclopedic knowledge. Perhaps the best known early example of such profound balance between oratory and wisdom was Isocrates. A later, even more vociferous proponent, would be Cicero.

    Yet Cicero would appear centuries after the trivium's "fall," brought on with the ascendancy of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. And while he would not overtake the rising powers of dialectic thought in his lifetime, his model of the virtuous man of encyclopedic learning and eloquent speech, the doctus orator, would serve profoundly in shaping the education of the Middle Ages.

    McLuhan structures the Nashe thesis in four chapters:
The Trivium until St. Augustine,
The Trivium from St. Augustine to Abelard,
The Trivium from Abelard to Erasmus,
Thomas Nashe.
Each chapter is divided into the three arts of the Trivium: Grammar, Dialectic, Rhetoric. The structure is eloquently simple, as is the rise and fall of the Trivium that it records. Twice in history, McLuhan proposes, the arts of analogy have reigned over the trivium and guaranteed its integrity and balance and wholeness. The first reign, of the pre-Socratics, was disrupted for a millennium by Aristotle and his followers. The second reign, inspired by Cicero and inaugurated by Augustine, likewise lasted almost a millennium; it would be shattered by the renewed rise of dialectic in the Renaissance, particularly in the figure of Peter Ramus.

    If this history seems curiously familiar, it is: McLuhan has constructed his history of the trivium as an analogue of Christian history. He introduces an Eden and almost immediately afterwards plunges it into its great fall. Much later there comes a redeemer. Yet it is only centuries after the redeemer's death that his teachings come to suffuse and undergird the entire culture. To whatever extent McLuhan consciously or unconsciously followed the model of Christian history is perhaps beside the point; what's so suggestive in the parallel is the period he identifies as being suffused by the trivium's grace, the Middle Ages. He would have preferred, all things considered, to have been born into the thirteenth century. There is reason to believe him.

    If the Middle Ages mark the high point of the balanced trivium, the Renaissance will mark its downfall. What Luther, Calvin and the other reformers would be to a unified Christian Church, Peter Ramus and his followers would be to an education guided by the analogical arts. By implication, at least, the convulsive modern age to follow would be rent from its most interior knowledge of itself by the total sundering of the Logos.

    If McLuhan finds in the history of the trivium an allegory to the history of man's relationship to God, he is likewise making a quiet but profound assertion of faith: that, with the guidance of the wisest sources that the history of the Logos insures, a primordial rupture in man's being-in the word-can be repaired.

McLuhan’s Milieu: The Herd of Independent Minds (1948)
July 5, 2020   
Posted by Clinton Ignatov

In his unpublished work The New American Vortex, Marshall McLuhan included in the first book a piece entitled The Case of the Missing Anecdote. The first three pages of its ten-page typescript are crossed out in pencil, and scribbled across the top are instructions to “Skip to the top of page 4.”

It’s funny to think that, were Vortex ever published, the reader thus might not learn that this chapter began as a response to a very-famous column in the September 1948 issue of Commentary Magazine. It will be our first retrieval in this New Explorations Weblog feature series: McLuhan’s Milieu. This series will link to full, archived copies of literary articles cited by Marshall McLuhan in his published and unpublished work, as well as articles which illuminate art criticism and historical commentary of the modernist age.

New York art critic Harold Rosenberg will feature heavily in McLuhan’s Milieu. Our first look at his extensive career will be a piece whose title has become an oft-used cliché in discussion of mass media:

    The Herd of Independent Minds:Has the Avant-Garde Its Own Mass Culture?

Read the original 1948 article on CommentaryMagazine.com

The “mass” experience and recording of an historical event necessarily differs from each individual’s own private experience and recollection. Rosenberg cites a contemporary who writes, “For most American intellectuals, the Communist movement of the 1930’s was a crucial experience,” and responds:

    Warshow is able to state flatly that this was “crucial” only because he is discussing “the” Communist experience as a mass event. Yet from this point of view, it seems that Marxism in the United States became a renunciation or negation of experience, a plunging of the individual into mass inertia, precisely because he yielded himself up to the general intellectual “climate.” There wasn’t any significant group experience of Communism in America except in the negative sense, and this is one of the main reasons why people ran away from it. Then why talk about it as “crucial”? Or, better still, why not talk about some other kind of experience? Because since it happened to an historical “us” it seems to Warshow most significant: “It is for us what the First World War and the experience of expatriation were for an earlier generation. If our intellectual life is stunted and full of frustration,1 this is in large part because we have refused to assimilate that experience . . . never trying to understand what it means as part of our lives.” ([Rosenberg’s] italics.)
    Harold Rosenberg, The Herd of Independent Minds, Commentary Magazine Sept. 1948

In turn, McLuhan zeroes in upon Rosenberg’s identification of the “renunciation or negation of experience, a plunging of the individual into mass inertia” and elaborates:

    Mr. Rosenberg made no guesses about the source of such mental compulsion. I would personally suggest that it rises from the Kantian and Hegelian notion of the world as Idea and of the ‘manifold of experience’ as a blind chaos which we know and order only by our concepts. If things are inaccessible to reason, if they are not themselves radiant with intelligible forms which nourish the mind (as they are for example in the hylomorphic philosophy) then intellectual abstractions manufactured by the mind itself are the only things we know and offer the sole basis for social and artistic communication.
    Marshall McLuhan, The Case of the Missing Anecdote, The New American Vortex Book I

And in Rosenberg’s quite off-hand, passing reference to Finnegans Wake as a more relateable rendition of his own individual anachronistic and fragmented memories of the 1930s than recorded, popularized “mass” experiences, McLuhan finds the opportunity to explain the origins of Joyce’s technique in his kinship to the French Symbolist poets.

    Certainly Joyce (also Flaubert and Baudelaire) never made any concessions to the debased existence which surrounded him. But never for a moment did he entertain the attitude of Mr. Warshow that debased or mass culture “was a standing threat to one’s personality, was in a sense a deep humiliation”. Such an attitude is only possible to the prisoners of the concept for whom a conflicting set of concepts is a threat to the integrity of their own.

    Flaubert, Baudelaire, and Joyce were often nauseated by but never alienated from the mass culture of their time. And the patient contemplation which they directed towards its every form and facet was rooted in the awareness that it was deeply related both to themselves and the nature of the real. Ulysses was already a work in which the alienation of the “artist” showed the illusions which Stephen had to banish before he could be either a man or an artist. So far as that book goes Joyce exhibits the prisoners of the concept as prisoners only of illusion, since they are all alike, seen to be embedded in a reality which unites them in spite of themselves. And it is a reality of the manifold of ordinary experience which is available as nutriment for everybody in any time or place.
    Marshall McLuhan, The Case of the Missing Anecdote, The New American Vortex Book I

McLuhan’s typescript goes on, in its unredacted portion, to explain how the recording of “ordinary experience”—that is, experience of what he eventually comes to term “the human scale”—had been overlooked by American writers in the 1920s and 30s. Private notes, observations, and anecdotes were not being meticulously kept and filed by artists whose responsibility it was to record their every fleeting perception of the mundane objective scene in analogical just-proportion to both themselves and the whole.

    Baudelaire knew that the “significance of an experience”, and this is the whole of the matter, does not reside in the poet, the thing, or the larger reality but in the ratio between the three. And there I think we should find the solution to the Case of the Missing Anecdote.
    Marshall McLuhan, The Case of the Missing Anecdote, The New American Vortex Book I

The result was a paucity of raw materials from which to construct believable private experiences of historical events in novels and histories of those eras, increasing mass-susceptibility to retro-active possession by a retconned memory of “shared” experience.

Today, do we not let raw recordings stand-in for our own private experiences and impressions in our lives which, should we take the time to record them freshly in words, might serve as necessary material for the human-scale anti-environment necessary to oppose personality-obliterating mass dreams and media-rewritten memories?

replay of 2014 show:
Heart of Mind Radio, October 15, 2022
2022-10-17 -------------- On today's Heart Of Mind Radio for the NEW Millennium, Host Kathryn Davis takes a look back at the transitional phase of humanity as seen in real life, while understanding the underlying implications of transitional forces depicted in the ancient calendar systems. Asking the question: Were they correct in predicting the times in which we currently live. In this exploration we bring forward an outlook from the past. It is amazing how relevant these prophecies, new and ancient, are playing out now in 2022. Sean David Morton will touch on Science and Spirit, Secret Societies, Global Conspiracies, and their connection with ancient prophecy and current times. And featured guest Sergio Magaña Ocelocoyotl gives us an authentic picture of the true meaning behind the Aztec calendar prophecies.
----------- Sean David Morton is a self-described psychic, ufologist and alleged remote viewer who has referred to himself as "America's Prophet." Until legal troubles led to his incarceration in a federal prison, he also hosted radio shows, authored books, and made documentary films about the paranormal.
