Hey guys: this is a call out to all of you to try as much as possible to voice your struggles with the text so that we can help eachother come to a better understanding of the framework of the text. If something in the text stands out to you or you can't figure out what tmessage the author is trying to convey, someone else might.
So here's what I don't get so far: In the last passage on page 12, the discussion has moved past the subject of being and becoming (the pure event) into the discussion of 'spirit and letter'. This is where I get lost.
The passage reads "the key to this paradox (that the new can only emerge out of repetition) is what Deleuze designates as the difference between the REAL and the ACTUAL (and which one can also determine as the difference between Spirit and the Letter)....later it is revealed that "one has to betray the letter to remain faithful to the spirit" (of thought)...
Does this mean that spirit is the virtual and the letter the actual?? that in order to gain access to the 'truth' one must betray the coded language that defines it?
I dunno....could use another point of view here...Thanks!
