Dreamtime by the Ganguji & Semblance by Bernstein

Charles Bernstein: Semblance

“The Interconnectedness and cohesion of all things” is to the Ganguji people of Aboriginal Australia, dreamtime. Dreamtime is not an unconscious, at dark, regenerative rest, dreamtime is our lives comprised by the totality of our experiences. Everything has a purpose. It is impossible to de-engage the cohesion and interconnectedness of all things.
Bernstein emphasizes word, like Hejinian, and words in combination to tonify and charge the accompanying language. The perceptional dimension arises – the word on page, not in referential context, but as special entity. A subtlety of perceptive feelers to connote poetry wherein the poet uses intentional spontaneous discernment – called nailing down a word. Through referential vectors arise Bernstein: “fills vats ago lodge spire”. Achieved here is not banal word/stimulus image/response but rather these vectors in spatial dimensionality’s possibility. The point: release “energy inherent in the referential dimension of language” to now re-create rather, the very conditions that prior to now were created through “meaning”: connotation/denotation of word in medium to now paint on a canvas of auditory receptivity in the absence of self and culture contained definitions. Words redefine themselves in an inherent indefinable “vector” of their own palpable reality. Words redefine without definition and are vectors in space time continuum of sound and patterning of sound together. Poetry functions in hyperspace; poetry creates poems in hyperspace. Hyperspace functions different than Earth here – Earth is more the limiting possibilities as sentences narrowing themselves in and of passages, through expository and narrative qualities, limiting themselves the same. Poetry follows less this pre-de-rangement patterning; poetry allows for an openness which to Hejinian is free-unhampered access. Hard to experience Hyperspace when stuck to the laws of Earth’s time continuum, ask anyone who recalls Astral Plane or pre-existence or has used psychoactive drugs or hallucinogens. What do these dimensions have to do with poetry? All is a manner to break down the walls we as a people have put up so long ago. Breaking down structures and thought forms. Poetry does not have to follow preconceived thought forms, it is only thinking that births the present into being. Our thoughts create our reality. Our thoughts create our poetry. We create our reality and so to think differently is to perceive and thus to be, reality, different. Re-patterning ourselves to be open to more than the pre formed structures as used in programmed language and pre-framed society.

Hejinian's description of the writer's conflict :
dual desire: boundedness/coherency (in opposition to) free-unhampered access

Goddess and God allow for the possibility for poetic matter of existence (and) manifestation of verbal existence. On’Course with the no form belief of Goddess and God, poetic eye in existence will radiate a reflective brilliance of light. When you close your eyes do you imagine Michael McCure and a light of one candle in the manifested creation of a personal universe deck to portray the senses within this candle lit room?
Open and closed texts:
Boundedness/cohesion (and) free un-hampered access.
“Form does not necessarily achieve closure, nor does raw materiality provide openness”.
boundedness/cohesion implies distinction between inside (and) outside
free-unhampered access hates to leave anything out
At the risk of this essay becoming closed text i will maximize my excitement to the music of the free-unhampered tramp. The form of poetry is open when for a while the characteristics of focus and direction tend to pull levers of anatomical thought without foreground. Foreground in the making.

Lyn Hejinian The Rejection of Closure

The first thing that comes to mind is managing intake. The whole "manfestation stomach" phenomenon since the world is a'full of phenomenon -- such is the natureof creation. Jejinian's description of the writer's conflict: dual desire for boundedness and coherency and free- unhampered access is indeed parallel to the dual desire inherant to creation and thus incarnation into these bodies of ours. You see the soul wants to individuate (incarnation into form) and merge or return to source ( end cycle of re-incarnation). Incaranation allows for poetry y God (to me) allows for the basis of poetic material. Of course, however, there need not be a God either, you see for the poet exists and thus her/his dual desire nature here on Earth in poetic reality: simultaneous desire for boundedness y free un-hampered access. Boundedness implies distinction between inside y outside -- unhampered access hates to leave anything out. More conflict comes since"form does not necessarily achieve closure, nor does raw materiality provide openess". At the risk of this essay becoming closed text i will maximize my excitement - a concept to me parallel to the ideology of free-unhampered access. My poetry's form must be open for while there are some characteristics of focus and direction ( i suppose within a single reading as Hejinian says) i do tend to pull from all strings of myown limited universal ideologies -- i.e. one thought leading to the next and thus relying on spontaneous aspects of my experiences sparking one another into form -- opposite of closed (?), perhaps and still i strive for cohesion within spontaneously arising forms of though, just as i strive for cohesion in my life and all experiences (and to spiral out...) cohesion in this life, as far as my overall affect and all my lives to thus spiral in and become whole again. Boundedness will lead to free-unhampered access: there must be some focus, without focus thehippie goes to rainbow gatherings all life and does not actualize (generalization, though true to some possibilities) since ideally, through the experience of gatherings and evolution the hippie actualized into purpose -- energy healer, yoga teacher, owner of an international hostel or founder of a local food co-op. Sounds like poetry, the verticalizaion meets horizontalizaion.. so vertial: continuously becomming and horizontal: buildingon experiences, always learning, adding to in combinationary effect. Life should be continuously becomming though not randomly, all experiences should contribute to the larger purpose, then we are on our path instead of bumming around devoid of purpose - off the path. Poetry is path. Cohesion within continuous becomming. A master at living out the desires of the soul will find exact cohesion in writing. Just like laws of syntax there are karmic relations and natural laws inherant to all animant and inanimant life. It's usually good to assimilate intosociety to some extent: i.e. the hippie y her/his hostel biz -- Thus for Hejinian simple use of grammar for poetry is writing and writing exists! (helps to keep cohesion in the becomming of thought). Q: "Can form make the primary chaos articuate without depriving it of its capacious vitality, its generative power?" A: We show the will of generative creative power in our vital capaciousity for life channeled through our poetry. Unconditional words. "Man is a curious body whose center of gravity is not in himself [yet in language]" Language= useful for navegating the river that is the now, the eternal flow of unhindered experience. Language= useful for the alchemical conduicion of the moon flow of water to formulate word combinations applicable to mental function. Rapids= poetry transmitted telepathically. Rapids= mental application of experience transfused in alchemical union to eternal flow of water as is regulated by Earth's moon. The spatial and temporal properties of language are continuous -- Where are the words in relation to the others? How does the word relate to the world around? A systematic form to allow individualized examination of the totality of existence.
