Hegel’s lessons.
The crucial question in the way we think today is not whether we think this or that, but first:
Whether we think THIS and THAT with more of THIS than of THAT while we really keep thinking just of THIS.
Second:
Whether we think THIS and THAT with more of THAT than of THIS while we really keep thinking just THIS and just THIS and just THIS, but on the surface, THAT and THAT and THAT and THIS, but underneath, just THIS.
For instance, what we Westerners call democracy, even after a century of leaving behind all "isms" is the wobbling of the political string between fascist and communist tendencies while a solid invisible neoliberal line keeps coming back to straighten such string.
But what is the THIS?
Well, imagine a girl telling her girlfriend about her new boyfriend:
"We really made a connection, and it is not just PHYSICAL, although the PHYSICAL part is just amazing!"
Imagine now a researcher telling his fellow researcher:
"We really made a breakthrough, and it is not just THAT we got with it noble prize material, although THAT would be amazing."
Imagine now a business man telling to his business partner:
"We got the most innovative minds in the business, and it is not just the amount of PROFIT they give us, although the PROFIT part is amazing!"
Imagine now Karina Akopyan, the Russian fetishist artist saying:

"I want to stop OBJECTIFICATION. And I want to stop it by way of OBJECTIFICATION. That is the amazing and the challenging part of it."
The "amazing" part is the THIS. THIS is the prime element of our unconscious. It says better, but surreptitiously what we are about.
THIS is not THAT, but we constantly need to pass THIS for THAT, either as a self-deceit or as a lie, some other time as the real tension in the search for truth.
What we haven’t yet fully learned from a century of bygone "isms" is that both, THIS and THAT are prime elements of our unconscious.
Shakespeare Hamlet’s "to be or not to be" is no longer as accurate as "to be THIS and THAT". Or should I say, the tension and its ratio have shifted.
Why are we still attached to 'isms' under the umbrella of trends, and specially commercial trends?
We aren't, we just appear to be.
We are on an accelerate race to escape the now in the NOW, vertically, statically.
The vertical doesn’t point up or down, it points "in-out", but it moves in all directions, "in-out" on a surface.
We are in a constant "fugue." That's what underpins any specific trend, commercial or otherwise.
Humanity needs a rest, a rest from accelerate "fugues." A rest to think, to act more humane.
To rest is not to lay down, to surrender or to give up. To rest is to actively quieten for a moment as often as you possibly could.
To QUIETEN so that questions or answers or nothing at all come into place serendipitously.
To come in to place means to come into existence with no ulterior motive than let the mind and emotions flow freely.
To rest is to be free from time sometimes as often as possible.
To rest is to suspend time on time without the pressure of time, in the absence of time, right when time might be about to go on.
A poet is called upon to provoke a spiritual jolt and not to cultivate idolaters.
Andrei Tarkovsky.

Genuine tragedies in the world are not conflicts between right and wrong. They are conflicts between two rights.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.
