Ireland, James Lawless “It has become a cold place for free thinkers and talented researchers. We all know how that will grind advanced research to a halt. And that is nothing in the face of the human suffering", “bring to mind book burnings of old” - James Joyce Experience

Marshall McLuhan, Joycean

Everybody has become porous. The light and the message go right through us.

By the way... at this moment, we are on the air. We do not have any physical body. When you’re on the telephone or on radio or on TV, you don’t have a physical body — you’re just an image on the air.

When you don’t have a physical body, you’re a discarnate being. You have a very different relation to the world around you. And this I think has been one of the big effects of the electric age. It has deprived people really of their private identity.

Everybody tends to merge his identity with other people at the speed of light. It’s called being mass man.

(in conversation with Mike McManus, 1977)

James Joyce Experience, Dublin Day, Dublin Night.

The metaphors exposed, the connections made, the merging, the joining, the medium waves, the nightmare of history of our Pale Blue Dot, from which we all try to awaken - and we all try to World Wide Wake.

Finnegans Fall, Think About how many times I have Fallen. Spirits are using me, a Larger Voice is Calling - Earworms are calling John 1:1 rewrites - James Joyce Experience - looking for that ALP who knows Love can Endure

"I loathe Ireland and the Irish. They themselves stare at me in the street though I was born among them. Perhaps they read my hatred of them in my eyes." - James Joyce Experience of eye contact, body language

What is it like to approach the Dublin metaphors and writings, the James Joyce Experience? (Aran Islands, Ireland - Atlantic Ocean waves of meanings)

James Joyce Experience, "Finnegans Wake is the greatest guidebook to media study ever fashioned by man." - Marshall McLuhan (University of Toronto), Newsweek Magazine, page 56. February 28, 1966 - WHY April 2025...

Victorian era slangs - Ok, what exactly is James Joyce's writings about, what is the «JJ Experience» ? Well, it's more about the streaming changes of time and geography and echo-chambers of Babel Tower components. Does that answer your question?

“English, strictly speaking, is not my first language by the way. I haven’t yet discovered what my first language is so for the time being I use English words in order to say things. I expect I will always have to do it that way; regrettably I don’t think my first language can be written down at all. I’m not sure it can be made external you see. I think it has to stay where it is; simmering in the elastic gloom betwixt my flickering organs.” ― Claire-Louise Bennett

Joseph Campbell

( The Hero with a Thousand Faces (first published in 1949) is a work of comparative mythology ):

There must always remain, however, from the standpoint of normal waking consciousness, a certain baffling inconsistency between the wisdom brought forth from the deep, and the prudence usually found to be effective in the light world. Hence the common divorce of opportunism from virtue and the resultant degeneration of human existence. Martyrdom is for saints, but the common people have their institutions, and these cannot be left to grow like lilies of the field; Peter keeps drawing his sword, as in the garden, to defend the creator and sustainer of the world. The boon brought from the transcendent deep becomes quickly rationalized into nonentity, and the need becomes great for another hero to refresh the word.

How teach again, however, what has been taught correctly and incorrectly learned a thousand thousand times, throughout the millenniums of mankind’s prudent folly? That is the hero’s ultimate difficult task. How render back into light-world language the speech-defying pronouncements of the dark? How represent on a two-dimensional surface a three-dimensional form, or in a three-dimensional image a multi-dimensional meaning? How translate into terms of “yes” and “no” revelations that shatter into meaninglessness every attempt to define the pairs of oppo-sites? How communicate to people who insist on the exclusive evidence of their senses the message of the all-generating void?

Many failures attest to the difficulties of this life-affirmative threshold. The first problem of the returning hero is to accept as real, after an experience of the soul-satisfying vision of fulfillment, the passing joys and sorrows, banalities and noisy obscenities of life. Why re-enter such a world? Why attempt to make plausible, or even interesting, to men and women consumed with passion, the experience of transcendental bliss? As dreams that were momentous by night may seem simply silly in the light of day, so the poet and the prophet can discover themselves playing the idiot before a jury of sober eyes. The easy thing is to commit the whole community to the devil and retire again into the heavenly rock-dwelling, close the door, and make it fast. But if some spiritual obstetrician has meanwhile drawn the shimenawa across the retreat, then the work of representing eternity in time, and perceiving in time eternity, cannot be avoided.

'White wine is like electricity. Red wine looks and tastes like liquefied beefsteak,’ James Joyce once declared. A sketch by the English painter Frank Budgen of the two men drinking wine in Zurich, where both spent the First World War, shows precisely the kind of convivial setting in which such a pronouncement might be made. The wine in the carafe on the table between them may have been a Fendant de Sion, Joyce’s favourite Swiss wine – and the writer’s fanaticism on this subject cannot be underestimated. Fendant, made of the indigenous Chasselas grape, is very dry, with traces of mineral, smoke and gunflint on the nose and a long, bitter finish. Joyce nicknamed the wine ‘the urine of the Archduchess’ after its pale amber colour.

"Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8: A Young Man's Voice" book, James Joyce created a simulacra of Dublin, a type of "facilitated communication" literacy for Protestant vs. Catholics / Ireland who don't grasp Romans 11:32 Bible verse, Dreams

I am posting this in Sunday, Bible day

book reference: "Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8: A Young Man's Voice"

The book alleges that its author, Higashida, learned to communicate using a version of the scientifically discredited technique of facilitated communication, which raises suspicions about the book's authorship. Psychologist Jens Hellmann said that the accounts "resemble what I would deem very close to an autistic child's parents' dream." -- did someone say "dream"? Does James Joyce author Dreams of Dublin?

James Joyce is puppeting fiction characters of Dublin with all his works, to try and get the people of the world to see the nightmare of history of people who are attracted and adore everything but what they avoid: Bible verse Romans 11:32 www.Romans1132.org and Bible verse "1 John 4:20" how God and Jesus can not be seen ( "1 John 4:20" verse, seen God in Dublin? ) - because they are fiction Characters like the !FictionNonFiction@lemm.ee of James Joyce's Dublin... dreams and simulacra
