In dramatic response to Sartre’s “Existentialism as a Humanism” as viewed through the 4th dimension

1st “Man is nothing else but that which he makes of himself”

2nd “Man is in anguish over human responsibility”

3rd “Man is in anguish over abandonment”

4th “Man is no other than a series of undertakings”

5th “The absolute truth is found in one’s immediate sense of one’s self

6th “The human condition is that we define ourselves through other’s self.

7th “Freedom”

Addressing a few quotes taken from “existentialism as a humanism”.

1 – As rivers converge we discover that each individual river we thought stood alone or opposing is indeed one thing at it’s end. In the viewpoint of essencevs.existence I find a need to shift the working perspective to a 4th dimensional or “timeless” point. In the idea that time exists only as a base concept for the human mind to move linearly though the infinite, we find that “before” and “after” are the worst kinds of crutches when attempting the digestion of ultimate realities.

2 – In this state of culminating dualities we can see that we not only create all that we are, but also simultaneously create the mold in which we follow. In a process of self-digestion we exist as all things and one at a time. Therefore the responsibility for all of mankind does not rest on your shoulders, but does so only in a holographic way. Each part containing the whole has only to maintain his part for all to exist as it already does. All we must be is our individual selves, whatever it is that we choose to be. With false responsibility lifted the supposed anguish has no hold. Although that is not to say that being oneself doesn’t carry many footholds for anguish.

34 – On the idea that there lies no hope, only action, i respond with another framework to move out of frustration. A man is a sum of his actions and this is true. Man however is more than material stuffs for the very fact your reading implies. Actions are more than material things. I would borrow from many theologies in saying that three spheres may exist. Material, astral, causal. This is an assumption that men trade energy and ideas like one would trade a good book. Or bad one for that matter. Each dream, expectation and hope is an undertaking in itself. One shouldn’t disregard lightnings other qualities because they haven’t been struck by it. “You are nothing more than what you have lived” implies that living is some small thing. Living allows us to closely inspect every possible perspective we can attain while slowly moving the whole of existence around like an apple in our hand. It is therefor beneficial for a man to think up something original, be it passionate, hopeful, desperate or boring;so as for it to sponged up by the mass of eternal oneness. If there was a God, i would like to think this is how it eats.

5 – Awesome. Spot on.

6 – It seems it is widely accepted that people are reflections of one another to some degree. The people most hated, feared and otherwise looked down upon are part of ourselves we wish not to have in ourselves. Unfortunately, in the grand act of pulling ourselves out of our own assholes, we must understand that they are only physical manifestations of what is already inside us and accept them. This will stop the emotional dissonance that perpetuates the fear and hate and allow them to reflect you and your blatant acceptance. The qualities of trust faith and hope are wired into this idea and gives them validation. It is not just people. Everything reflect itself so that it my know itself on every level, micro-macro and otherwise. Each person, rock, ecosystem, cell, galaxy, atom and universe are a single infinitely divided amalgamation making itself known to itself by a process of reflection. Only a martyr would keep placing “Human” in front of condition.

7 – “Life is nothing until it is lived; but it is yours to make sense of” “Nothing can save man from himself” – except himself i would tack on. The case of the student leaving his mother could be looked at as such; Student has two choices, go or stay. To go is to fulfill his own wish, to stay to fulfill his mother’s wish. The mother’s task is to allow her son to achieve the knowing of his self and the freedom that come with each mote of understanding. To stay would be, in effect, his mother imposing her will on him, asking to accept guilt for peace of mind. The son of course has the freedom to do as he will. To be true to himself we would see by his choice if he values the neediness of the mother or the vengeance of his brother. The son needs to find himself through vengeance before he can take on his mother neediness. However, by making the world black and white Sartre had taken away this man’s true freedom.

His advice should have been to move out of france altogether and start learning the violin or how to whittle. Or something to that effect.

Is there progress in the infinite? With no beginning and no end, it is hard to stay. Tom Robbins had a wonderful answer to all this. What is something that doesn’t progress yet contains a source of identity that serves your every being? “Style”

Live with style people. Everyone will be better for it.
