Post-deconstruction (transcend & include)

[Binary Encoded Sunset]

That episode on Derrida's deconstruction was exactly what I needed. After studying everything I can find on the subject, I've found it to bolster my practise in manifold ways. I like to use the enso symbol as a visual reminder of all the meaning attached... (or lack thereof) in the sense of negative theology. A symbol as it were to refresh the experiential field & become an immediate "laughter button" when intentionally triggered but since this episode, my further studies into Derrida have since allowed that visual symbol to utterly deconstruct whatever topic I have in mind & "BAM" I visually flash myself the enso symbol & watch deconstruction ensue... my body relaxes in ways it usually doesn't without meditative focussed intention & a huge amount of release occurs in my body... but everything is reconstructed simultaneously for what it is... illusion or no. This was exactly what I needed.... a finger to the moon toward a genuine systematic understanding of meaning. I described it earlier (for my own experience) in the context of "seeing the wood through the trees"... If you wanna see the wood through the trees, you can annihilate the forest but then you've got the empty space which is very impractical for communicative purposes. (as a metaphor for human communication)... When all meaning is eradicated, you have pretty pictures & an impractical loss of those facets (impossible to cummunicate) but via true & integral deconstruction, you don't neeeeeeed to remove the trees from the wood to appreciate the vista... As each element is deconstructed, you see through that metaphorical wood without the need to remove the trees... if that makes sense. It now occurs to me that the best thing I can do in my development is to master Wilber's AQAL map but with a transcend & include approach to deconstruction... (I haven't looked into this fully yet but I think that when Wilber mentions "post-postmodernism" he is suggesting exactly what Leo meant in the last video [& David R. Loy's incredibly summative paper] that Derrida's deconstruction halted at thought (or linguistics) & didn't take the deconstruction of "hard phenomena" (e.g the objectifying of momentary subjective phenomena) into account... & that by deconstructing each facet regardless of it's structure, then leaving it where it is (not that you can remove such things without denial) ...we can understand these phenomenon (even those illusory) for what they are without the need to remove those facets of experience.
