The Vessel of Impulsivities, a miniature act of genesis.

The vessel of impulsivities has evolved into something more deliberate.

It was conceived in crisis, at the moment of rupture, the death of an ideal. What once surged forward without aim began to harden, to acquire form, as if grief itself demanded a container. Not an urn to hold the remains, but an idealized vessel brought forth ex nihilo.

Idealization is not an escape from reality but a method of approaching it differently. By stripping away variables and noise, the trembling multiplicities ,it reveals structure. It reduces the chaos of the world into an outline that can be studied, inhabited, even pursued. In this way, idealization clarifies through subtraction.

Yet such clarity is never innocent. A false shape can masquerade as essence. What is simplified becomes potently more seductive, what is abstracted can begin to dictate. Soon the container is mistaken conceptually for its function:capacity to hold. and the maps we draw to navigate becomes the prison preventing us to ever enter the new territory.

Idealization is therefore both compass and mirage. It can orient us toward the values our better selves might pursue, or it can ensnare us in illusions that calcify into dogma. The deliberate vessel is never neutral. It is discipline and danger, salvation and snare.
