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.

"I am a jealous, lonely, dissatisfied, proud man" - James Joyce

"Was Joyce just a really proud man"? - Reddit post title April 2025

I think if you read James Joyce, you will get that he talks about "The Dead" in Dublin, "Waking the Dead Finnegans" population of Dublin. Pointing out the walking dead of Dublin. Dead souls killed by clergy who teaches ass-backwards religion interpretations, a literary crisis of book-reading The Bible storybook that avoids metaphor to metaphor translation. That Bible Verse John 1:1 language and only language, poetry and only poetry, was ruling minds in a negative way. And James Joyce's writings are mathematical proofs of the John 1:1 equations.... pointing to "1 John 4:20" reality of clergy avoiding Romans 11:32 verse and avoiding "1 John 4:20" reality in favor of power to use Bible poetry to making The Walking Dead of Dublin.

Pride, Ireland, Pride

Just like Atlanta's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Germany's Martin Luther.... Dublin's James Joyce is trying to wake up people, zombies to anti-comprehension of Bible verse John 1:1, Romans 11:32, "1 John 4:20"....

::: _______________
"The big moment in the medieval myth is the awakening of the heart to compassion, the transformation of passion into compassion. That is the whole problem of the Grail stories, compassion for the wounded king. And out of that you also get the notion that Abelard offered as an explanation of the crucifixion: that the Son of God came down into this world to be crucified to awaken our hearts to compassion, and thus to turn our minds from the gross concerns of raw life in the world to the specifically human values of self-giving in shared suffering. In that sense the wounded king, the maimed king of the Grail legend, is a counterpart of the Christ. He is there to evoke compassion and thus bring a dead wasteland to life. There is a mystical notion there of the spiritual function of suffering in this world. The one who suffers is, as it were, the Christ, come before us to evoke the one thing that turns the human beast of prey into a valid human being. That one thing is compassion. This is the theme that James Joyce takes over and develops" - Joycean Joseph Campbell at age 83, summer of 1987, George Lucas filming education for his Star Wars audience.
