Sex Remembrance Pills

More From Malcolm Muggeridge

When the devil makes his offer (always open incidentally) of the kingdoms of the earth, it is the bordellos which glow so alluringly to most of us, not the banks and the counting-houses and the snow-swept corridors of power . . . sex is the mysticism of a materialistic society - in the beginning was the flesh, and the flesh became word; with its own mysteries - this is my birth pill; swallow it in remembrance of me! - and its own sacred texts and scriptures - the erotica which fall like black atomic rain on the just and unjust alike, drenching us, stupefying us. to be carnally minded is life!

The vitamin has been reified. a chemical intangible originally defined as a unit of nutritive value, it was long ago reified into a pill. now it is a pill; no one except a few precise scientists define it as anything else. once the vitamin became a pill, it became real according to the precepts of american cartesianism: i swallow it, therefore it is.

Of course, mysticism is very hard to isolate because, given the kind of consciousness that i was sort of instructed in as religious consciousness; that borders on mysticism so closely that it's hard to know whether you qualify or not, or whether mysticism is artificially isolated when it is treated as a separate thing from experience. obviously, mysticism can be a form of madness, but then consciousness can be a form of madness.

I had to persuade a dog to swallow a pill. i twittered for advice and i got suggestion after suggestion. most of them didn't work. 'put the pill in the sausage.' no - that doesn't work. 'cheese.' no. then someone said: 'you wrap it in butter and it will slide down.' i tried it and it worked! and i'd learnt how to give a pill to a dog through the magic of twitter.

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

The twinkling of an eye. that is the most wonderful expression. i've thought from time to time it was the best thing in life, that little incandescence you see in people when the charm of a thing strikes them, or the humor of it. 'the light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart.' that's a fact.
