Dreams- Liberal and Progressive.

There are a set of dreams in the liberal discourse. I loosely paraphrase Trainspotting here...Choose life  Get a mortgage. Marry. Get 2.4 children. A career. A pension. A car and so on. In the liberal myopic view and, they could be more elaborate dreams, they set themselves to oppose to the nothingness in the leftist discourse. However all of that is already an aim but it is a dream for all to get it in the left. Plus to get it there must be emancipation. A dream that it could happen for all.

Beliefless Believers

To believe in a higher power seems to have actually waned in most cultures and religions. Instead the faith is propagated without people actually in their heart cultivating religious sentiments - they do not even have the means or tools to do it. The world in this sense is doubly irrational.

Zizek's coffee without caffeine, sex without sex etc. has the final great culmination - belief without believers.

If we consider that as a pathology then I certainly am ill with it. I am a belief free believer.

Further: I cannot seem to transcend this paradox. The closest I get is to see God as a manifold of archetypes. A combination of Kant and Jung. Then the illusion of seeing itself goes in a Hegelian way only to reappear as an apparition of itself. If I am incorrect to think this way I am also sorry, but I am also incapable and powerless of anything better.
