  • Summary

  • In this first episode, t.k. graces us with a talk on the meaning and references included in the sublime poem “31” from his book of poetry entitled Xuan Xue: The Dark Unlearning.

    31.

    There is a body of sudden openness. It has
    no feet, no hand, no face, no form.

    And it has no alienation of labor and the
    product of labor. Awareness’ work is
    appearance. Management, that old fraud,
    the word “I,” has been sacked.

    In its mysterious absence it is wholeness, and,
    when we come to rest therein—to find our own
    unutterable non-being—then everything we
    speak becomes love.

    Tomorrow it is labor negotiations. Good faith
    bargaining between the obscurity of no-thing-ness
    and some-thing-ness. But tonight the subject is Love.

    Tomorrow will be all headaches and hangovers. But
    tonight it’s all drunken staggering.

    The divine neither is nor is not, just like you
    —its AppearingEmptiness is far more subtle,
    more full of jest and humor, than that
