Thoughts, Prayers, and Other Useless Things: What Good is the Moral High Ground, Anyway?

“Out beyond ideas of right and wrong, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” While there’s nothing of Rumi in this essay, this poem may be an apt introduction.

Memory is the real name of the relation to the self, or of the affect of oneself by oneself. According to Kant, time was the form in which the spirit affected itself, as the space was the form in which the spirit was affected by something else ; time was therefore "self-affection", constituting the essential structure of the subjectivity. But time as subject, or rather subjectification, is called Memory. Not that short memory that comes after, and opposed to oblivion, but "the absolute memory" which doubles the present, which redoubles the outside, and which is one with oblivion, as it is itself and continuously forgotten to be redone ; its fold merges with the unfold, because this one remains present in this other one, as what is folded. Only oblivion (unfolding) finds again what is folded into the memory (in the fold itself). (...) What is opposed to the memory is not the oblivion, but the oblivion of oblivion, which dissolves us outside, and which constitutes the death. (Gilles Deleuze - Foucault, Les Editions de Minuit, 1986 )
