In the islamic world, the u.s. is seen in two quite different ways. one view recognizes what an extraordinary country the u.s. is.the other view is of the official united states, the united states of armies and interventions. the united states that in 1953 overthrew the nationalist government of mossadegh in iran and brought back the shah. the united states that has been involved first in the gulf war and then in the tremendously damaging sanctions against iraqi civilians. the united states that is the supporter of israel against the palestinians.

Almost any tale of our doings is comic. we are bottomlessly comic to each other. even the most adored and beloved person is comic to his lover. the novel is a comic form. language is a comic form, and makes jokes in its sleep. god, if he existed, would laugh at his creation. yet it is also the case that life is horrible, without metaphysical sense, wrecked by chance, pain and the close prospect of death. out of this is born irony, our dangerous and necessary tool.

The true art of the gods is the comic. the comic is a condescension of the divine to the world of man; it is the sublime vision, which cannot be studied, but must ever be celestially granted. in the comic the gods see their own being reflected as in a mirror, and while the tragic poet is bound by strict laws, they will allow the comic artist a freedom as unlimited as their own.

Setting a field for synchronicity is a matter of putting yourself in a particular state of mind. it is easy to think about synchronicity intellectually, but unless you enter the state of mind where your prayer-field will help, all you will do is glimpse the coincidences every once in a while. in some situations that is enough and you will be led forward for a time, but eventually you will lose your direction. the only way to establish a constant flow of synchronicity is to stay in a state where your prayer field keeps this flow moving toward you--a state of conscious alertness.

The only reason i wanted 'making toast' as the title is that it is a simple gesture of moving on. every morning there's the bread and you make the toast and you start the day.
