Cosi philosophy

[Sean]

Here's a few lines from some in-progress thoughts on the disturbing Cosi statement, which I don't claim to fully understand. No specific points here, only a request for any further ideas.

Cosi's focus on the nature of love and sex asks for some careful reconciliation- how can you give yourself unconditionally to someone but then change your allegiance?

A similar question I think is how can you engage emotionally and carnally with someone you know you don't really have much affinity with? Surely you either give yourself or your don't?

Yet love seems to be infinite and singular while also transferable and not locus-specific; the experience of love has a commonality each time yet with a different person...

Indeed in some non-Western countries there's an understanding that you can have many partners but also be entirely committed to just one when you see them...

This parallels henotheism or the exclusive attention to one deity at that time when they're before you to engage with, while still acknowledging the existence of others.

Cosi looks to transcend Western society's fixed and inadequate ideas and norms about love- love is infinite but only located in the moment, so the giving of oneself at one time isn't important...

Cosi is filled with deceit, as is all seduction on the intellectual level- the need is to see through the ruses she may present, for him to find the necessary intuitive insight...

The situation is similar to Julia and Winston in 1984 - love can be 100% yet also short term...

And there's another link with the disjunction that hasn't been resolved by physics between the micro quantum absolute world and the macro large scale relative world.

God is everywhere underlying everything but there's no intellectual route to unity with God ...
