Henry & His Wife

now

time is a FUNCTION of noun (things) and verbs (actions)

then

the result of time is awareness (A)

today

A = n'(t) = a'(t)

n = a

being a noun (an entity)

provides (is) awareness

tonight and tomorrow

This will take just one minute and, in the translated words of our French philosopher Henri-Louis Bergson it'll attempt to affirm "the reality of spirit and the reality of matter" and it'll try "to determine the relation of one to the other." (Matter and Memory, 1896)

Right now a dentist is reading this. The dentist lives in New York City where he reads this on a train. Early today, the dentist's wife asked him to try something new in bed. It has become matter of sexual spirit versus sexual matter, and it has freaked the dentist out.

Our dentist feels that he must come up with a solution, but what exactly is the dentist's immediate solution to his wife's request?

SOLUTION: "There is no use in arguing. I just must comply."

Now our dentist would slide his hands around her waist whenever she wore the hot fuchsia dress to Brooklyn parties on the weekend.

Tonight the dentist would force her to stop washing dishes dirty from dinner. With the focus of a hungry bear and while intently looking in her eyes, he'd untie he bathrobe and slip his schlong in.

Fortnightly they'd have to change sheets because of cum splotches.

Quarterly, because he was going to put it on his google calendar, he would surprise his wife with a maneuver of gentle boldness - devour the inside of her thigh or whisper the request, "Stay open, darling."

When Henry the dentist arrived at his practice, he said hello to the receptionist before logging onto wikipedia. An idea was lingering in his headspace: "MECHANICAL REALITY." Was this a thing?

And wikipedia spat back QUANTUM MIND-BODY PROBLEM.

Yup, Henry did find that particular connection problematic. (sigh)

Our philosopher Bergson clarifies that supposedly there is such a thing called quantum mechanics, which serves as a lens of reality.

#1: Humans effectively interrogate nature by interacting with it.

#2: Observational evidence is necessary for knowledge about others.

Hm! Henry the dentist is momentarily satisfied by this.

Until - he begins to wonder about spiritual intensity...

So there's American Henry - with a "y" - who's uniquely handsome, in the Jake Gyllenhaal burly brunet way. He is 6'3" and depressed.

Then there is French Henri - with an "i" - who is dead, of the past when it comes to skin, bones, and the tocking of human heartbeats.

Henri Bergson wrote a philosophy claiming that Henry's immediate experience in New York City, that Henry's intuition about his wife is much more important than any science studied in dental school.

Back in 1896, Henri did not wish to misguide his friend Henry.

So our French philosopher consulted two trusted colleagues, Mister Otto Neurath and his wife Olga Hahn-Neurath des Wiener Kreises.

Otto Neurath studied sociology at the University of Vienna. Olga, or אולגה, was a blind mathematician who married Otto in 1911.

OLGA: So, tell us about your American.

HENRI: I suppose he is a shaman in disguise. He has experience walking among and relying on trees, as one does with landlords and parents. The power these trees gave him -- well, he carries power inside the trunk of his body but within another jungle, the concrete labyrinth of New York City. Outwardly, Henry sometimes wears authority like a coat. Inwardly, his self-assigned status is very low. Henry's wife asked that they try something new in bed, and now he believes that he must project the power within himself over her self.

OLGA: Hmm. To me, he sounds more like a shaman in denial.

OTTO: Firstly, these young Americans are starting in the wrong place; the wrong rooms. Henry 2011 must wash his woman's hair. Perhaps they don't do that in the future. I massage Olga's cranium every Shabbat. It is our shared mitzvah. Every Thursday evening, while I am clearing our dinner dishes, I'll ask Olga as confirmation, "Might I wash your hair tomorrow, my Austrian mango?" Because this American should ask his wife, politely but still with intimacy.

A few days later, on a snowy night, our Frenchman Henri wrote the following as a cue to his friend, Henry the depressed dentist:

"[I]t seems evident that we experience a more intense pain at the pulling out of a tooth than of a hair; the artist knows without the possibility of doubt that the picture of a master affords him more intense pleasure than the signboard of a shop; and there is not the slightest need ever to have heard of forces of cohesion to assert that we expend less effort in bending a steel blade than a bar of iron." (Time and Free Will, 1889)

Just when and how does our dearest dentist receive his dedication decades and nations later? In a place that Otto Neurath would've approved of, in the restroom of his extremely busy dental practice.

Because sometimes Henry took his book to the bathroom, to sneak a paragraph in between patients, and to read sentence by sentence.

Always he thought about his wife while sitting on the toilet: "Thus is seems evident that we experience more intense...at the pulling..."

There's always a solution that immediately occurs to a person or animal - before a judgment value is applied as to right or wrong.

And thus, Henry embarked on a solution process / scavenger hunt =

5 April 2011 @ 10:34 a.m.

"'Does she judge me?' I ask. I had an immediate reaction. I wanted to say her name 'Petra' with command. However I stopped myself, to consider my choices while sitting there on our full bed:

1. Tell her the truth.

2. Tell her a lie disguised as truth.

3. Tell her a lie without disguising it.

I'll choose the first option, but I'll tell my wife the truth only because I do not care anymore." Which is both wrong and right.
