Diamantine Body
If the illusion of consciousness were to collapse owing to acknowl- edgement of the unconscious, we would reveal in our nature a dual being, set inside an “I do not live, it lives me”, with an essential substitution and definitive detachment of this historical superior- ity taking place beneath this commotion. Only in this instant will its secure position as a pedestal of the spirit be demolished for good.
It is in subordination to that destiny, which is in itself, that we build a respiration that is the breath of a rot-proof body, whose eternity and meaning is still unknown to us.
Diamantine Body is a supra-personal configuration beyond whose participation we cannot define a future accommodation, or discern a meaning and an expectation. Its being is born in the space of a square inch, and it is this nothing that gives rise to something which conceals itself and conducts the affairs of life.
