"THE COINCIDENCE
OF THE EVENT DESCRIBED
WITH THE INSTANCE OF DISCOURSE THAT DESCRIBES IT"
THAT "INSTANT OF DISCOURSE," AS EMILE BENVENISTE HAS ALREADY EXPLAINED,
ENTAILS IN TURN THAT UNBALANCED BUT EQUAL EXCHANGE WHEREBY "I" becomes "you" and then "you" becomes "I."
So perhaps I (JB) remembered his point correctly after all!
[Mor just quotes thln 5
like he has been "quoting all others" in this myDi!
Nachashverosh/Esther or "any other" biblebookrollfigure
'dead or alive']
JB:
It's a (very) humbling & terrifying one! It makes me think, now, of a story that I read perhaps while still a teenager, titled
"I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream"
by Harlan Ellison. HE wrote there in the voice of the last sentient thing on earth, something that he had no way to express itself and no one to whom it might express itself, and no way to kill itself either. Imagine the horror of being eternally stuck in the position of
"I!"!!
But that, thankfully, would be inhuman, for we at least are mortal!
[On the other hand
Mor "remembers writing"
again & again in 1966/'67: "I"
am you
(me, (s)he, we, they/all the time,
everywhere, always, again
& again 'now & here'!]!
JB:
Secondly,
I hoped (that word!
It may come up again)
that in this renewed correspondence I might ask ML to try to explain,
once again and in the language of those who aren't physicists, what he meant by a physical theory of dual temporalities, in which,
for example, there exist both a 1939 of 1939 ànd a 1939 of 2006 (2013),
or perhaps more pertinently as we still dwell with the prospect of a silent future,
a 2039 of 2006 (2013) and a 2039 of 2039.
(He tried to ex-plain it once already, back in the 2004 of 2004, but I suppose I wasn't entirely "present?"

!
If no one is there to hear it, will there still be a 2039 of 2039?
And what does it mean to ask that question "now?"
[Mor thus is both
struck by the "possibility of predestination"
& its improba-bility: because since 'September' 1944 "I was" becoming,
'being', evolving into what I 'am'
NOW & HERE
& could equally well
have been some totally different person
leading a completely different life,
but 'because of'
that coincidence
I did 'survive',
experience

while the 'question' still remains
if it 'could have been different' or did it 'have to be like it was'
('is' & 'will be'
: different & the same interpre-tations keep 'popping up',
including the "crossroads" of f.i. the Katamonim, Elat, Be'er Sheva,
Silwan, Avdat, Yod Fat, Petra haSela haAdom,
Rabbath Ammon, Levanon
and so on
