Lou Reed;Coney Island Baby

William James defines the cycle of of the "sick soul" (this not a negative term) as having an affinity with a need to raze the earth and follows with redemption in pure light, love.

Want to play football for the coach...the first step to enlightenment (faith)

Remember the princess who lived on the hill/who loved you even though she knew you was wrong...Hope

And you think about/All of those things that you done...here is the pathos of the sick soul. here is the pyre by which he purifies himself

And the Glory of Love...(Charity) a psalm to the glory of love

ord begeting word. Word begeting Wisedom. Light alluring us through the darkness, through the the transendental

Bob Dylan; Gotta Serve Somebody

This song can be summed up in two existental word "Either\Or". You can choose the aestetic life or the moral life. It break through the threshold of relativism. It passes by Marucs Aurelius and Epictetus, the king and the slave morality as a reaction towards scepticism. Instead of material ceiling, a trascendental choice. "You are gonna have to to serve somebody/It may be the devil or it may be the Lord/But you're gonna have to serve somebody". While i can see Cato humming this to wayfarers as they come to the shores of purgatory. It clearly belongs in the the heaven due to its light and wisedom. Its is more about the advent of the word, and active wisedom which the indolent should heed.
