RAW often presented multiple levels of meaning in his writings so it makes sense that there might be multiple valid interpretations to his last public words.<br /><br />I saw that at another time RAW advised to "keep the ravioli flying" which suggests more to the flying Italian food image than a physical resemblance to the brain.<br /><br />Burroughs first noticed 23 in connection with a couple of disasters resulting in loss of life. In 777 the number 23 also corresponds with "Parted, removed, separated" and RAW mentions in Cosmic Trigger that the 23rd Hexagram in the I Ching translates as "Breaking Apart." 23 seems to indicate Death as well as nascent Life.Oz Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061222169144560970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361223727037711552.post-89378051599005760642011-08-17T14:19:00.178-07:002011-08-17T14:19:00.178-07:00In 777 Uncle Al gives 23 as "the glyph of lif...In 777 Uncle Al gives 23 as "the glyph of life - nascent life." One way this connects to RAW: Wilson read Hooper and Teresi's popular book on neuroscience in the late 1980s. They described the physical human brain as looking like lasagna. It seems also the ultimate instrument by which we make observations and evaluations about our world. And RAW liked what Pound had to say after his friend Wyndham Lewis died. They had had some major esthetic disagreements, but Pound said something like Lewis was a "live mind," and he'd take live minds over dead minds anytime. So: keeping the lasagna flying is keeping your brain - live mind - going, always learning, doubting, sharing signals, doubting: lasagna flying! <br /><br />I stand firmly behind this interpretation, but if you don't like it, I have others?michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526042582094867513noreply@blogger.com
