Let's Get Something Straight

The whole point of this blog, from its origins to these presents, is what I now (after recent, painful reading: God, how I hate all German philosophy except Goethe, Hölderlin, Schiller, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche!) realize to be what Heidegger called "Eigentlichkeit," of which the English word "Authenticity" is the only feasible, but still just slightly wrong translation.  I mean I am trying to arrive at Universal or Absolute Truth (no less) the only way that anyone ever really can get there--if anyone ever really does get there--by being completely honest about my own experience (experiences), and by being faithful to my deepest intuitions of myself.  That is to say, I am (always) striving to attain, or more or less adequately to realize, My Truth, otherwise known as The Truth Within Me; which, as an American Transcendentalist I call, simply, Conscience.  There's no room for error.  When I speak apodictically, as (with a bow to the Blessèd Corner [of the Russian Kitchen of My Mind] where Mary Baker Eddy sits enshrined in Glory) I like sometimes to do, I mean 'Thus sayeth the Lord!'
