Bataille

Inner experience
disillusioned we realise what we are.
we wont die and we can be everything
false - dis intoxicated when we realise what we are
higher existence - organisms like economic systems, building up energy, but then then when they squander their existence.

death of god - mysticism without god
DISCOURSE must be destroyed in order to have contact with the unsayable. his book is a paradox
capitialism and illusion of discourse drives us to self sufficiency - desire to become everything to escape the fact that we are finite beings.

fever, witnessing a death, frenzied spiritual contemplation -  these raw experiences only way we can free ourselves from work exposed by capital. but  problem lies in communication - through words it then becomes subject to the capital -  disillusionment . we can never talk about them without emptying truth. paranoid sensation that the only thing worth speaking of cannot be spoken.

but the difference of self and other is not totally destroyed, there is still an awareness of the concious of the other.

we cannot solve the problem by dying


THE EYE
story of an object - passed chain through metaphors

duality of metaphors
and circular metaphor bringing things back to the reality
two chains of metaphors entwining, then the normal words to fit with each one can flip, blurring thr distiinction between them all further.
synsthesia in the language.
