The Book of the Damned

Or
that
all
attempts
to
find
Truth
in
the
special
are
attempts
to
find
the
universal
in
the
local.
And
artists
and
their
striving
for
positiveness,
under
the
name
of
"harmony"--but
their
pigments
that
are
oxydizing,
or
are
responding
to
a
deranging
environment--or
the
strings
of
musical
instruments
that
are
differently
and
disturbingly
adjusting
to
outside
chemic
and
thermal
and
gravitational
forces--again
and
again
this
oneness
of
all
ideals,
and
that
it
is
the
attempt
to
be,
or
to
achieve,
locally,
that
which
is
realizable
only
universally.
In
our
experience
there
is
only
intermediateness
to
harmony
and
discord.
Harmony
is
that
besides
which
there
are
no
outside
forces.
And
nations
that
have
fought
with
only
one
motive:
for
individuality,
or
entity,
or
to
be
real,
final
nations,
not
subordinate
to,
or
parts
of,
other
nations.
And
that
nothing
but
intermediateness
has
ever
been
attained,
and
that
history
is
record
of
failures
of
this
one
attempt,
because
there
always
have
been
outside
forces,
or
other
nations
contending
for
the
same
goal.
As
to
physical
things,
chemic,
mineralogic,
astronomic,
it
is
not
customary
to
say
that
they
act
to
achieve
Truth
or
Entity,
but
it
is
understood
that
all
motions
are
toward
Equilibrium:
that
there
is
no
motion
except
toward
Equilibrium,
of
course
always
away
from
some
other
approximation
to
Equilibrium.
All
biologic
phenomena
act
to
adjust:
there
are
no
biologic
actions
other
than
adjustments.
Adjustment
is
another
name
for
Equilibrium.
Equilibrium
is
the
Universal,
or
that
which
has
nothing
external
to
derange
it.
