Nexistentialism is Philosophy for Fun, an Art of Perception on the Nexus of X-is-tence where Phenomena Inter-are. Our forebearers' sacrifices are not in vain as we learn to embrace the opportunities we have today. Thanks to their tenacious efforts and shared wisdom! Most importantly, thanks to the Love despite it all! Nexistentialism embraces human nature to bear Witness to Art. Nexistentialism captures the performativity of a planetary stage where souls seek to savor life.

Full moon
Is life easier through the veil of idealism, the filter of ignorance? Some truths about the human condition are heavy to bear. Is enlightenment but in the dark shadows of existance? I no longer wish to search everywhere and anywhere. Shall the questions begin from within? She called it conflicts of the psyche that need to be dealt with, the ancient woman with knowing eyes. The soulful physician explained that everything occured in the brain. The conflicts allow for both the experience of joy and the experience of pain. The brain steers both tears of happiness and tears of sorrow, smiles of kindness and smiles of deceit. What a conflict of the psyche, indeed! Such contradictions under the same roof. What to do?

Notes I
ego = own perception of the self / your perception of yourself / love thy neighbour as thyself
rules of perception = norms / habits / desires / needs /cognitive paths -> personal vs. collective / individual vs. social / nature nurture culture
nature = biological / sensory / physical perception
nurture = familiar / intimate / existential / absorbed perception
culture = established / normative / social / institutional / historical / created perception
world/universe - family/kin - society -> 3 perceptional dimensions for ego
society = rules and regulations, norms, engagements, expectations, collective interdependence, institutions, education, commonly accepted created structures, traditions, competing constructions, consensus, negotiations, variation, containment of chaos

Mensch mit Wolfgeist
Síe tanzte mit Spirit an jenem vollkommenen Neumond Nachmittag mit seinem Versprechen der Fruchtbarkeit. As she went out into the dark and sought, she found Spirit, or Spirit found her in letting the steps take any direction and intuition be the guide. On that sunny Zurich afternoon, Spirit held her. Spirit told her. Spirit bread her. Die kosmopoliten Wälder lachten auf mit dem warmen Oktobersonnenschein und die koketten Blätter tanzten sich übermütig zu Boden. Und sie lachten dabei fröhlich Pirouette für Pirouette verzwinrt mit Wind und Westen. Der metropole Schwan schwamm lahm. Das Seebild verspielt zwischen Damals und Heute. Die farbigen Blumenpflanzen umarmten sie warm auf der Mauer. Das sanfte Wasser mal ewig still, mal bewegt von der Silouette eines Menschenbotes. Die Stadtvögel zu Boden wie zu Lüften spontan und doch strukturiert sich versammelnd. Der eine oder andere in alternativer Lebensweise die Jagd nach dem Fisch im Wasser noch wagend. Der Rest thinks the human crumbs are the best. Und sie hatte nur ein schwaches Auge für ferne Schriften, aber Spirit sah nicht nur am Ufer durch sie hindurch. Ein Stadtmärchen das seinen Kurs nahm als der Hügel die Sonne frass und das errötete Himmelbild den Fluss der Stadt bezeugte. Und Spirit bot ihr ein köstliches Abendmahl in einer warmen metropolen Höhle die mit geruchvollen Rosen in den Farben der Dämmerung beschmückt. Wie eine Dame der Wildniss nahm sie Spirit in den Arm. Und teilte mit ihr das Licht des Lebens. Und in der Neumond Nacht, ja da hat sie gelacht. In der friedlichen Stille der Dunkelheit tanzt Spirit zur Musik der Geborgenheit.

Nexistential Smile
Yeah,
I'm personal man,
'cause it's what I got!
I'm raw,
thanks a lot.
See my heart beating
my bare chest seething.
Feelings man,
sweeeeeet emotions.
Too close for comfort?
Indecent exhibition,
such erudition?
Doubtful perdition?
So what?
Sure I get insecure,
unsure of what to do.
My approach is in the nude.
I don't mean to be rude.
I begin from within.
And yes I trip over the debris
and get lost in reverie.
That's me.
But I find a way,
over time.
Do stay,
don't mind.
Or don't
and do.
Who cares,
do you?

Wolf im Menschenmantel
"Scheiss auf alles, isch hab die Schnauze voll!" schrie sie auf. "Sei froh, dass du kein Mensch bist!" sagte sie zum Baum durch ein tränenverschmiertes Gesicht im nächtlichen Regen auf der Landesstrasse, wo die Kühe sie bei Tag oft mit ihren Augen anstrahlen "Sind wir froh, kein Mensch zu sein!" Und die Schafe auf der Weide wissen bescheid wenn sie vorbei spaziert, "Sie tut uns nichts." Nein, denkt sie, heute nicht. "In den Nacken beissen werd ich euch bestimmt nicht," lacht sie zurück. Mensch sein, was für ein Witz manchmal! Warum tut sie sich das an, immer wieder schon seit jeher, wer weiss wieviele Leben lang. Homo homini lupus est? Lupus lumini homo est! Der Idealismus stirbt zuletzt, so kam sie aufs Mal nochmal. Mensch sein ist so geil! Aber wie doof und abartig das menschliche Gewand doch auch sein kann. Als Raubtier in der Wildniss sind die Regeln klar, im Rudel weiss jeder seinen Platz. Aber das Chaos der menschlichen Barmherzigkeit und Nächstenliebe, der Gutgläubigkeit, ja Blauäugigkeit kann die Umstände räuberischer Lebenssauger manchmal nur schwer ertragen. Sie will lieber wieder Raubtier sein. Nur gibt es kein zurück mehr. Sie hat sich ja aus bestimmten Grüden zu diesem Weg bekehrt. Weil sie an die Menschheit glaubt, weil sie sie fasziniert. Sie glaubt an das Gute in ihr. Dieses Erdlings existentielle und kreative Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten sind scheinbar grenzenlos. Des Menschenmantels Potential ist von einer ja ausserirdischen Schönheit. Atemberaubend leider nicht nur im positiven Sinne. Zurück zur gewöhnlichen Gegenwart: sie hatte einfach keinen Bock mehr. Ihre Empfindlichkeit, ihr Idealismus gingen ihr auf die Nerven und die Wut kochte in ihr gleichzeitig wieder hoch. Eine kalte Wut, wie die eines erbarmungslosen Winters auf der Eiswüste, ein jener der ihr ihre Welpen zur Speise gemacht hatte. Ein wilder Hunger kroch wieder aus einem verborgenen Loch. Einer Wölfin gnadenlose Jagd bahnte sich an. Das Jaulen des Welpenjungen war bei abnehmendem Mond nicht zu überhören. Ein Dauerregren machte die Wälder fruchtbar, den Boden nass. Der letzte Herbst vor der übersinnlichen Wende würde sie mit einer dunklen Neumondnacht bescheren um erneut zur Musik einer mysteriösen Beute zu tanzen.

Turn of affairs
Civilization breeds desperation. Why? Since the industrial revolution: carbon dioxide. Physicality can measure it. Climate has changed. Frightening things are happening. Can technology save us now? The stony knife that fed has evolved into the rifle that exterminates entire species. Can the snow machine make ice for the Antarctic? We're scared. 'Cause we got reason to be. But this ain't the first time we' scared. Remember back in the Dark Ages? There was this terrible plague that menaced to exterminate us. We were civilized then. Out of fear we turned to religion and to fanaticism and to cruelty. And not for the first time did we succumb to vehemence. Great civilizations like those of the Aztecs and the Incas...why the sanguine sacrifice? And the Romans? Why those games of death? And then, the dreadful downfalls.
Mother Earth is fuming. Mother Nature is sick and tired. Mother Love is aggrieved. Father Sun intervenes intensely. We're like a dysfunctional family as Humankind enters puberty. Capitalism is superfice. Globalization is hybridity. Indifference is sloth and comfort temptation. We seek the easy way out as we race 200 miles per hour straight towards a wall. We are so caught up in our little affairs, that the wisdom of Father and Mother won't reach us.
I still agree with Jane Goodall: there is reason for hope. We are of loving, generous origins, in spite of our carnivorous nature. We are of the river's soft rhythm that finds a path over time. We are of the lucid daylight that sheds clarity on our ills. We are of the herbs that cure ancient ails. And we are of the wind that carves beauty into stone. We are of the breath that kissed us into existence. We are of the union that through love created life. We are of the heart that makes music and of the womb that bears energy. We are of the hand that conceives, and of the eye that sees beyond physicality. We feel. We know. We just need to remember.

Verliebt in einen Toten
Wo war ich als Du von der Gestalt gesprochen,
als Du die Normen des leitenden Denkens gebrochen?
Als Du die Natur geliebt
und mit ihr bei Dunkelheit durch die Nacht gewandert-
die Tiefen des Daseins entdeckend,
die Sinne über den Sechsten hinaus erweckend.
Wo war ich als Du die Wahrheiten des Lebens preisgebend
an der Theke noch ein Bier bestellt? Oder Wein oder Schnaps?
Als Deine Hand dem Tisch einen trunkenen Klaps gebend,
Dich von den Augen Deines Gesellen wendend
mit erneuten Worten – Dein Licht ihn blendend,
Du Chaos in Ordnung gebracht?
Wo war ich als Du die Haare einer Muse riechend,
Deine Kraft aus gesellschaftsfreien Löchern kriechend,
Du neue Wege geschafft?
Und den Narren mit stillem Neid bewundert.
Und Du über Dich selbst gelacht oder geweint?
Als ich Dir sagen wollt unsere Seelen sind vereint.
Wo war ich als Dir der Knopf vom Mantel niederfallend
Du die nächsten Zeilen verfasst?
Als Du Deine Menschlichkeit gelebt
und nach anderen Ebenen gestrebt.
Als Du die Schmerzen des alternden Körpers tragend
Deinen Glanz in Materie übertragen.
Wo war ich als Du im Strom des Bewusstseins versunken?
Als Dich die Leidenschaft des lebendigen Leibes quälend
Du Schönheit mit Fakt vermählt?
Als der Fluss Deine Füße genässt
und Du metamorphosend von der Brücke gesprungen.
Mit welch letztem Gedanken bist Du ertrunken?
Wo war ich Geliebter als Gott Deine Wange geküsst?
Als der Tod sich langsam an Deinem Atem beglückt?
Wartend war ich
in der Zukunft lauernd
Deine Abwesenheit zutiefst bedauernd...
N.M.P.

The Egg
"As I stare at the eggs before me, I try to perceive the potential that is contained within each one. It strikes me that an egg is a most remarkable phenomenon, so commonplace, so famliar, and yet sublime. Pleasing to look at and sensual to hold, it is one of those perfect creations of nature that is disarmingly simple from one point of view and staggeringly complex from another. Even the chicken egg, refrigerated and sterile, reminds us of something precious as we cradle it carefuly in our hands.
A living egg, with its warmth, its purity, and its sleeping potential, is a wonder. Who has not had the experience of peering down on the nest of a bird and being shocked by the sight of this uncanny perfection contrasted with the rough fabric of the nest?
An egg is a mechanical device used to transport and protect a living embryo. It is an architectural exercise in the conservation of space and in structural integrity. It is a vehicle for traveling down the fallopian tube and eventually out into the cold hard world, and a vehicle for traversing time - a time machine that can reconcile twenty million years in only twenty-eight days.
There is a wonderful principle in evolutionary biology known as Haeckel's biogenetic law that is stated simply: Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny. That is, every oganism must retrace its evolutionary development from a one-celled organism to its contemporary manifestation as it develops from fertilization to birth. Although an oversimplification, this concept has valid applications. As an embryo develops, it begins with simple mitosis - one cell dividing into two. There is then a predictable progression through stages, each of which represents a rung on the phylogenetic ladder. A fetal pig will pass through successive developmental stages whereby it will share features with and be scarcely discernible from the fish, the amphibian, the reptile, up the evolutionary path to a stage representing its primitive mammalian ancestry. Only then will it begin to find its particular biological identity as a pig. Up to that point it is bound to revisit each ancestral stage of its development.
This principle, of course, holds us biologically accountable, as well. Evolutionary development is a process of building on existing attributes, not of starting from scratch. Every structure in our body from our skeleton to our DNA serves as testimony to this principle. We are a walking paleontological repository. This is why the skeleton of a frog laid next to that of a man, with the exception of size is bone for bone very much the same - a quantitative difference only. We are a frog run amock. We have to biologically retrace our steps through antiquity every time one of us is conceived."

Nevolution
"Why does he call it the descent of man?" she wondered as she found her way back to him after having rejected him first, of course, long ago. It seemed to be in her nature: Zurückweisung, sometimes unüberlegt. Her path was paved with failures and rejections, with descending slopes. These seemed to precede upward swings. She pictured a two-dimensional line viewd from the side going up and down. She supposed it might be relative to the point of view. Then she imagined looking into a spiral from the center in which some points swung from left to right and vice versa; not straight, but rather in a roundabout swing, one that moves forward, not a circling in place like that of a carrousel, but rather a cyclical spiralling montaña rusa, Achterbahn perenne, roller coaster ride, existential russian roulette, cosmic tide, ebb and flow, hin und her around it goes: the nexistential carnival show.
"It's an ascent!" She'd proclaimed. "What would he know, so many a moon ago?!" For hadn't we evolved ever so upwardly, making sacrifices to hold our heads high on a pair of bipedal thighs, something we did with pride? And then, she learned of another one who spake of a great fall which rendered us back at square one in order to evolve all over again. A descent of man to reach new heights in ascending to other planes of awareness after retracing all the evolutionary steps taken thus far. She began to reconsider her previous judgement of the man. Perhaps she owed him an apology, she considered for an instant. No, she decided, for doubt was the way of her path-finding. She'd be true to her own steps.
Suddenly, she understood why she had rejected this one in particular, and many more like him. She'd done so with an innate skepticism. She'd pushed herself as far away as possible. She'd dismissed them on the premise of: "And how do his theories apply to me? What can they teach me about the ordinary struggle of my day to day?" After all, what could a man like that possibly know about being a woman at the turn of the twenty-first century, a man from over a hundred years ago or more?
Wiseacre
The fool walks alone.
Ignorant souls pursue only their own.
While the patient weep rain,
the angry wince in disdain.
Folly chokes on its cheer
and oblivion drowns in its fear.
Love believes its own lie.
Grief is deaf to its cry.
Truth breathes air of dispair.
Beasts go back to the lair.
Idiots don't see the danger
in being a stranger
as they walk in they valley of selfish affairs.
Givers lose gain.
Takers feed on what's hard to obtain.
While the ancient seek life,
the litter evinces its strife.
Reason commits treason
and mind is unkind.
Death is true to the living,
senescence unforgiving.
Freedom is vain,
eternity plain.
And Bliss
refuses to miss
that last kiss
before going insane.
