Take all thoughts prisoner.........

[Gany]

Just musing on Jung's and Giegerich's fascination with Unicity, and
how they subordinate all thoughts to that ideational closure, in which
(says Kristeva) 'despite many detours, its trajectory ends because it
has an inability to posit negativity as anything but a repetition of
ideational unity in itself.' No other Gods before Me.

Joseph's Campbell was fond of quoting an early Christian Father who
captured the movement and effect of monotheism. He said "We must take
every thought prisoner for Christ". Aint that the truth, and so it
goes with Giegerichs' black-hole Unicities, or Jung's Self.

If nothing else all that Oneness subordinates destructiveness even
whilst incorporating it within a dialectic enclosure. Could we not
equally say with Kristeva that the a-reasonable, a-relative, a-
mediating crossing of the boundary of the One could be the place
arrived at? arrived at many times? That a destruction or shattering is
the subordinating force? But that would be a monotheism too.....
better to stick with whatever IS experience, and like Jung said the
most immediate experience is image.
