There is something more in the  previous than mildly incoherent carvings from the matter of the moment, so I wish to parse it:

“sol to gel” is not only the moniker for a piece of avantgarde industrial exploitation (google it and you’ll see what I mean)

but a salient property of the extra-cellular matrix-

that quasi-liquid crystalline matter in which we, considered qua matter, for the most part, swim

as the brain is afloat in cerebro spinal fluid, as I say.

Whilhelm Reich was the first in modern language to discern that what, in modern language, is configured as a Psyche (previously a soul) constrains itself responsively through constrictions and contractions of belts of muscular armor; and after Reich, Ida Rolfe, modernly discerned that not only the musculature was involved in such contracture, but the sheet or sheath of collaginous tissue known as the fascia, contracted and decontracted too

but more recent discerners of somatic resilience find that the responsiveness of the extra-cellular matrix as it passes continuously from sol to gel from gel to sol registers instantaneous modifications of what post-modernly is no longer configured as the psyche but furtively remembered as the soul.

Now were it that the cell has no membrane, its gelatinous business were continuous with this matrix, this liquid crystalline matter in which we

swimmingly dwell, so that the cell, as self, were likely similarly responsive.

And another thing.

Rudolf Steiner says somewhere that there is a force in history, if not in physics, dual to gravity, he wants to call levity. Gravitas/levitas.

Moreover, it is a configured fact that when shape-shifters return to their primordially shapeless mass, they pass from solid form to a mercury-like quasi-liquid, and when they rise from their common pool, before assuming human shape, for a moment, they look like nothing else than the human phallus, rising. And I saw, for a moment, what Steiner meant: that “the soul in its progressive rise” (Olson says that somewhere) assumes its vertical form, as if in response to an attractor in the sky, is in fact a matter of a kind of collective tumescence, slow on the historical plane. And that the sol-to-gel condition of the liquid that swims in us, responsive, tumescent…were.

In the post-modern state we no longer have a “nature”-rather we discover and affect configurations of ourselves as we may and can. In one register we configure ourselves as energy, modulations of the light, timelessly effulgent, as light surely is. In another, we recover what Thales meant, and comprehend all being as phases of the aqueous.
