It was by reading Buckminster Fuller that I came to see that reality is abstract; it is that set of "generalized principles" which constitute a time/space universe. How is it that this genetic code is imposed upon the body of desire? It would seem that the principles or laws are just there, like an immovable object is "there," at that point where it meets the irresistable flow of desire. To experience reality the body must divide itself into "here" and "there," or, "me" and "it." The abstraction is the object, that which is "spat out." The subject arises from the eating.

There is eating and there is being eaten; one eats until the end of time, at which point one is eaten. Even as the subject creates itself in the incorporation of the object, so the subject is being incorporated by the object; "you are what you eat." The object is not outside the body, rather it is the outside of the body. It is the outside of an incorporated body within which the subject is the inside. The objective world is to subjective consciousness as the mother is to the child; mother is matter and the child is always inside a mothering world. "To explore is to penetrate; the world is the insides of mother." Love's Body. 36.

The man is the child and the woman is the mother. Ego consciousness is conceived in the genital relationship between mother and child; matter is to energy as mother is to child. From womb to tomb, round and round we go and if we stop, nobody knows.
