ANOTHER EDITION OF "MY AMATEUR HEIDEGGERIAN ADVENTURE."

 Heidegger's second masterpiece deals with the great potentials of another beginning in philosophy. The 'another beginning' is an area I've looked at in some interrupted ventures in continuing "My Amateur Heiedeggerian Adventure."   This challenge, and my appreciation for Heidegger's Elucidations on Holderlin's Poetry, keeps me going in these times that show the ascension of anger and stupidity as  dominating human society.  At first I speculated that Another Beginning had happened in America because of the high unliklihood of 2016 political events . But that was shown to be a chimera that exacerbated the Liberal resurgence.  So the 'Event' is still on the horizon and it is not numerically political anyway.  A new sense of Being must come to the fore. 

 

 My amateur response here to the "The Philosophy of Another Beginning" as expounded by Martin Heidegger in "Contributions to Philosophy: The Event (von Ereignis).

A full understanding of the original beginning in the pre-Socratics and the evolution from Plato through Nietzsche is necessary to propose a new trajectory heretofore unthought of within the accepted philosophy discipline;  The premise is that something was overlooked in the original beginning and the  curriculum that followed.

Among the chapters of Heidegger's questioning of the new beginning for philosophy proposed in "Contributions to Philosophy : The Event (von Ereignis)" are :

3.LEAP: the posing of the question of be-ing is the leap. The leap does not know what it is leaping into or towards, but in leaping opens up the space for more originary thinking. Since da-sein is projecting-opening, the leap opens a site in which the essential swaying of be-ing may be grounded in thinking-saying. The leap may simply be an originary phenomenological reduction: the leap into a genuine shift in thinking, and a new beginning in the history of philosophy.
4.Grounding
5. The Ones to Come
6.The Last God

Fascinating potential for one to follow the open questioning which defines the very nature of philosophy.  What is the Leap?  How is it grounded.  (and we know that grounding of theoretical thought is necessary)  Who are The Ones to come?  And what is the Last God?  The Last God, like all of Dasein, has withdrawn from our world. Future interaction is dependent upon our vigilant waiting for the manifestation.    

 I propose to mention that the original beginning of the curriculum of philosophy was never allowed to continue with the interest of the Northern people because of the interruption of Christianity into the thought of Germanic peoples.  Granted the seasonal celebrations and Mannerbund culture were continued and influenced Christianity.  But the Mythic structure of Northern Thought was short-circuited and never allowed recognition in theoretical development.  All ideas found in Dr. Flowers book.  

MYTHIC THOUGHT AND THEORETICAL THOUGHT

Theoretical doctrine is put forward by those who deconstruct and analyse meaning in a way that leaves open questions for the practioners to build upon and assemble in a way that allows further professionalism.  Mythic Thought is left as an instruction for those who can perceive the mystery.  It is never organized because it is already complete.   

"*Wodhanaz : Our Ancestral God of Sovereign Wisdom" by Stephen Edred Flowers. 2018. Two pertinent chapters are :

 

Chapter 5. "Odhinn and the Abortive Attempt at a Northern Philosophy

 

Chapter 9. "Possibilities for an Odian Philosophy and Praxis"

 

It's not fair of me to refer to a limited edition not now available (*Wodhanaz was a limited edition Rune-Gild/Woodharrow White Paper) without mentioning an available work like "Would You Known Yet More?" which is listed on the SEEK THE MYSTERY website and found described here.

"Philosophy is the will to return to the beginning of history and thus is the will to surpass itself." Heidegger.

 

The initial publication of "My Amateur Heideggerian Adventure" was in 2012. I use the term 'amateur' to indicate I in no way approach the brilliant expertise of Michael Millerman on the subject. I recently asked Chat GPT AI about the prospect of using Heidegger's work for a practical daily help book and it used my own content to write a text. But my experience with AI is for another time and place. I will say that Cosmic Intelligence will always be superior to Artificial Intelligence. I have spoken.

My premise is that exploring the theoretical praxis of the short-circuited existence of a Northern philosophy, we can elucidate Heidegger's philosophy of another beginning.  A heretical notion of mine that challenges the overlooked potential in the First  Beginning.  

The great gap in philosophical curricular trajectory may very well be the omission or intentional ignoring of the Northern Tradition as a theoretical philosophy that could have developed from the mythic thought.
