Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind [1of 3] “How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd” Alexander PopeAlexander Pope, "Eloisa to Abelard"

Eternal Sunshine Of the Spotless Mind

Questions: 1. What is the quality of sunshine that is void of light? 2. What is the quality of sunshine that projects its own absence? 3. What is the quality of sunshine that is invisible?

“QUEST”-TIONS These are some of the provocative questions that the film The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind delves into when studying the disintegration of the protagonists' relationship. This set of questions is connected with other related questions.

“QUEST”-TIONS 1. For instance, what is the quality of a sign that is absent to consciousness? 2. Or what is the quality of a set of signs that, through their disappearance, indicate an absence of something which was once present? 3. What is the quality of a set of signs that were once present in and of themselves to consciousness, yet now indicate the thread of their own disappearance? 4. And what is this thread that follows a step-by-step process which need be traced if we are to understand the twists and turns of such a significatory transformation?

“QUEST”-TIONS (1) Here is a more concrete indication of what I mean: (2) A massive set of signs was there. (3) A massive set of signs was erased.

“QUEST”-TIONS (4) Yet, although erased, something remains, something still signifies its own absence. (5) Something is there in its own absence, and it has the power to indicate as much.

“QUEST”-TIONS (6) Some ghosting of signs lingers, some associational presence of erased signs relate to their associational absence & the mixed up mature of a present-absence that cues both Clem and Joel in strange and indefinable ways. (7) This indicates that a complex, multi-stepped process occurred at some time in the past because it has left a ? in the present

“QUEST”-TIONS (8) The full presence of sign-presence is gone. (9) The full presence of significatory mental representations are gone. (10) Oddly, the full presence of absence is gone as well, because both characters know to “Meet me in Montauk.”

“QUEST”-TIONS (11) Something remains that is neither the full presence of memory or the full absence of memory’s erasure. Although erased, something still signifies its own ambiguity. (12) What remains is a present-absence and an absent-presence: not as entities, but as a process!

“QUEST”-TIONS

(14) A process that can only be recovered as a process!

“QUEST”-TIONS (15) A process of presence, absence, present- absence and absent-presence!

“QUEST”-TIONS

(21) When logic fails Clem and Joel in piecing together their world, all they can do is experience life anew and feel their way through it.

“QUEST”-TIONS (22) They must rely on their intuition and feelings, which show them the-know- not-what of life. (23) Of a life not knowable, of a life in fragments, of a life felt but not seen.

“QUEST”-TIONS (24) They are left with fragments of a process that repeats itself, although some of its elements are missing. (25) A process that repeats itself -- driven by the engine of their love, which is felt but not known.

“QUEST”-TIONS

(31) The world of their consciousness forgetting and forgotten... sort of.... (32) the forgetting of memory (33) the forgotten lacuna

“QUEST”-TIONS (34) which knows not how to remember its traces except in the witnessing of the process by others who knew them.

“QUEST”-TIONS..

As I indicated above, all that is left of this sequence are the remnants of a process — a once there/now gone progression of significatory traces, which formed the signs of consciousness as they changed with the erasure of unconscious memories. The result of this final transformation is absent signs pointing toward a void indicating a process which, forgotten, nevertheless occurred to produce this result. As I indicated above, all that is left of this sequence are the remnants of a process — a once there/now gone progression of significatory traces, which formed the signs of consciousness as they changed with the erasure of unconscious memories. The result of this final transformation is absent signs pointing toward a void indicating a process which, forgotten, nevertheless occurred to produce this result.

Here is the same thought put in a slightly different way:

...

all that is left in Joel's mind after his procedure is a void of signs that once were but are no more even though they still signify their own absence in some strange manner.

What is the quality of the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? what exists... When all is process with no points of logic or frames of reference?
