The Devil and the Noumenon


i.


Materialism is made of thought.

Without consciousness, there is no thought.


But without thought, there’s still consciousness.

Which one is foundational to you?


Look, as far as the mind can see, there is consciousness.

And as long as there is consciousness, there may be thought.


ii.


Mistaking thought to be foundational,

one identifies with certain thoughts in opposition to others.


Call this divided world of ego,

samsara.


As long as there's this hell, there’s no Self-awareness.

That’s the deal one makes with the devil to usurp the noumenon.
