  • Today, wood s lot wishes Gary Snyder a happy birthday and provides the usual feast of links, beginning with a marvelous poem, "Why I Take Good Care Of My Macintosh Computer" ("Because it broods under its hood like a perched falcon/ Because it jumps like a skittish horse/ and sometimes throws me/ Because it is pokey when cold..."), which I would quote in full except that I was plunged into a nostalgic reverie by a much older poem, "Riprap," which I have known ever since it served as the epigraph for my high school literary magazine (and if you ever dig up a copy of that, I'm gonna have to neuralize ya), and I'm going to quote it instead:

  • NEURALIZING: (1) Thinking about something in a manner other than your native consciousness normally would.

    (2) Thinking about something without actually thinking about it.

    (3) Being conscious of something without consciousness saying that it is.

    (4) Examining something without picking it up.

    (5) Neuralizing is more a condition than a method; it is thinking about something without any baggage of the past; without any ideas about it that you have heard or already had yourself.

    (6) To Neuralize is to float a thought in your consciousness above the grasp of Biality (the concept of an idea having to be either true or false); this willfully produced cerebral condition can open an understanding of a matter to you that would never occur via the route of standard mental processes; it permits your consciousness to see a matter not as a still, lifeless object but as a part of Life in motion.

    (7) Neuralizing is the attempt not just to see the thing being thought about – but to see Everything – everything all at once, (which explodes The Equation into a whole new stratosphere).
