Violently; With the Most Delicate Touch

you see, ugh... that's a long fuggin title man.

to be sure of anything you must find what is not quite the case;

to affirm anything is to deny something

extracting the heart of any matter these days

through thick fleshy modernity; you must cut deeply

cleanly; in an almost fatal motion

one can not dwell

as blood left on the surface turns profane; then scabs over

little red surface warriors left dying in vain; clotting a deeper

exposure; rage against the thought

of a deeper pain

some become paralyzed by the notion of pain

by the millions, aborted surgical schedules

wasting and clotting into a cut glove

protecting the surface

sacrificing for the smooth surface living;

very clean, very adverse to pain

very adverse to many things

i don't believe in those things

i believe

survival instincts cannot tolerate the deeper intuitions

the brain itself does not feel pain

sometimes proof of life is to see yourself bleed, to bleed pain

to bleed the source

in fact any extraction of substance these days

through the eons of symbolic tom foolery; you must cut very deeply

to caress the source

intuition; below the flesh, far beyond the profane

closer to the source 

requiring the most delicate exposure

without knowing anything beyond that

and to affirm anything you must deny something

to be sure of anything you must embrace ignorance

violently; with the most delicate touch

to believe in anything is to disbelieve in something

how deep can you cut before the pain is too great?

It's a good title.
I don't understand all of it because it's from your own head not mine but I think sometimes you need that gentle cut, gentle shove or a well meaning kick in the a*s to grow and move forward, become better and also, maybe could be interpreted as a something more intimate than that which requires a hell of a lot of trust. (You know what I mean...) Just my thoughts. It's a good title though. Catchy.

It's also a little bit about surgical techniques; how the development of amazing surgical procedures required a suspension of survival instinct and a willingness to flirt with extreme injury and often times death.

But mostly about what you said...

Which part?

[Reclaimed]

Which part? The whole thing... the metaphysical conceit is - survival instinct (avoid pain, limit wounds) and intuition of progress and insight... compared to cutting flesh, deeply, sometimes violently but always delicate (surgery). Well, that's what I intended the main theme to be anyway. It's not a real well written piece; I haven't been trying hard lately.

There some bullshit about religion being a surface orientated misguided and neurotic survival instinct (lazy attempt to understand what we currently don't understand)

add the words " is also" after the first word of that last reply.
