The Remaking

 

the sad sad joke of a true adventure tale
recounting

how mj lorenzo found the Remaking cure

that saved us from killing ourselves
humanity entire

including you  (brave ally)

and me



after the Crack-Up Jack (not Mortimer) began arranging
        his and Mortimer's scratchings recent and old in puzzling piles
        and mailing them one bizarre pile a month home to his folks


Part I:  Crack-Up

 

 

the Hay River telegram   (1st encounter of M & J)

 

1.  Philadelphia’s Powelton Village:  how mj lorenzo’s two halves M & J got into an argument and ‘freaked out’ a (‘freaking’) (‘freaked out already’) neighborhood

2.  Pittsburgh:  how mj lorenzo bridged three rivers in a millisecond

3.  Logan Pass:  how mj split time-space (on purpose) and cracked up splitting himself into the two dis-combined halves of ‘Jack’ & ‘Mortimer’

4.  Great Slave Lake and the stupefying Mackenzie River:  how mj’s Jack-half hitched a ride on nature’s (heavenly) waters

5.  the Arctic:  and how ‘Jack’ then went (stark) raving (the) native

6.  Tuktoyaktuk:  and lost (his) marbles for books

7.  Mackenzie’s journals:  (but then) how Jack interpreted instinctively rightly what he read in those books he had selected (instinctively right-ly) and thereby saved human life on the planet (starting with his own)

 

 

the Inuvik envelope

 

8.  while naked and lost at the Arctic should Jack have written his parents, Rev and Jo Lorenzo?

9.  how Dr. Lorenzo viewed the apparent fact years later that he, yes he, once really went nalata, i.e., Naked-And-Lost-At-The-Arctic

10.  what Jack took on his trip for summer reading:  Mortimer’s diaries

11.  how Jack reacted to his nalata summer reading

12.  additional recommended study when naked and lost at the Arctic:  Emile Petitot’s Traditions Indiennes du Canada Nord-Ouest, collected tales (in French) of northwestern Canada’s Indian tribes

13.  another must-read when naked and lost at one of earth’s poles:  The World Book Encyclopedia paragraphs on magnets & magnetism & polarity

 

 

the Fort Good Hope envelope

 

14.  five big mental hurtles bound to trip up and trap many Western-world readers stumbling into the Fort Good Hope envelope

15.  two more encumbering hassles that boggled even the ‘early Remaking pundits’ until they overcame them by dividing the Fort Good Hope material into the following seven sub-subsections (16-22):

16.  how Jack relying on his own innate animal instinct and intuition first scented out and unearthed his eventually famous burst-out paradigm

17.  how he used his burst-out paradigm to comprehend intuitively the nature of his relationship with his nemesis Mortimer

18.  how Jack also used his intuited burst-out paradigm to comprehend intuitively not just his own psychological world but the world around him starting with the Utilidor at Inuvik:  suddenly a paradigm which seemed to address only his own inner conflict shed light on international tensions too

19.  how he then reacted to Mackenzie’s journals of northwest-Canada exploration written two centuries before (and to ghost-writer Combe’s help with that writing):  he read important things into these journals and (in other words) drew conclusions from them – not rationally but intuitively – that would prove to be (according to later punditry) cataclysmic to the world’s politics and future

20.  how Jack (trying to comprehend and assuage the venomous Mortimer-Jack enmity) incorporated several of C. G. Jung’s fundamental psychotherapeutic precepts into his rapidly developing Remaking Cure

21.  how he felt bad for having resorted to a canoe that was motorized and apologized so many times that Sammy Martinez and the pundits, concerned that readers might not grasp the importance of so much repetition, later added to interpretive versions of The Remaking a lengthy reader’s aid that permitted thorough understanding right down to the very canoe-bottom (as they said) of Jack’s ‘wackily’ repeated apologies

22.  finally Jack snooped around one more time for a Remaking Cure:  he tried to penetrate with his instinctual animal intuition into the very heart of nature; but he did this indefensibly from the point of view of any scientific theory known to him (or Mortimer) inasmuch as he remained enamored of magnetism and magnetic energy; he returned to it suggesting ‘irrationally’ or even ‘crazily’ (as his parents insisted when they read through this envelope sent from Fort Good Hope) that if an iron bar can be turned into a magnet when STRUCK in a certain way then a magnetic field must possess healing power; he even illustrated on the page the great curative healing and uniting value of magnetic force by using a discussion of the subject of magnetism to STRIKE and tie together (after the fact) the entire lengthy and disjointed Fort Good Hope envelope; and Jack Lorenzo STRUCK EVERYBODY thereby, bewildering his mother, gumswazzing his father (‘Well I’ll be gum-swazzed!’) and astonishing – eventually – academics all over the world

 

 

the Wrigley envelope

 

I.  Peace:  universal respectful sharing of Nature is universally healing

 

23.  how some people eventually took to the first part of Jack’s Wrigley envelope where he glorified nature; but most people felt put off by the second part where he attacked his college

24.  how the Lorenzos, for their part, when they received and read the Wrigley envelope, were so under the influence of extremist religion they lacked critical life-saving perspective on where they fit into the world’s politics and history and on how much they shared in common with the sum total of humanity

25.  exactly why the Lorenzos loved Jack’s passages glorifying nature

26.  how Jack’s nature-prose helped the early Remaking pundits get to sleep at night

27.  why nature was so important to Jack and intellect was not

28.  why Jack’s nature-based Remaking cure looked so absurd to so many

29.  how earthshaking healing meaning lurked in even the most innocent-sounding of Jack’s lines about nature

30.  how Jack Lorenzo dragged heavy meaning out of so many simple and innocent things that half the world thought it proved him crazy

31.  for example his principle of weightfully-STRIKING multiplied significances

32.  and the way he stupefied creation by reading the future in maps

33.  while Rev and Jo Lorenzo loved his nature writing only because it was about the nature they loved; and had favorite passages they adored

 

II.  War:  fighting with your brother-self is suicide

 

34.  Jack alludes to suicide for the first time

35.  Jack feels compelled to comprehend his four years at Wrigley College

36.  was Jack Lorenzo a prophet, a war protestor, a pervert (and / ) or a plain crazy fool?

 

III.  Peace again

 

37.  reconciling hyperpolarized polar opposites WILL bring peace

 

 

the Fort Simpson package

 

38.  the message for anyone contributing to mj lorenzo’s problem, especially Mortimer:  change now or BE changed

 

I.  The “South Jersey God-and-Country Free Press” article

 

39.  how all parties but Jo Lorenzo believed the article to be written by Jack

40.  and why the Lorenzos in all their excitement over getting the package kept forgetting there was a gasoline bomb in it

41.  how in this package of writing Jack psychomagneto-analyzed and sociomagnetologized himself

42.  and how he exploded in rage over the article about him which he himself almost certainly had to have written HIS VERY SELF

43.  and how the Lorenzos got the 'great idea' they might be reading fiction

44.  and how Jack sympathized with Mortimer and cared about him in the midst of all their conflict

 

II.  Robbed of Revival Jack’s analysis of a failed revival at Wrigley College

 

45.  general description of an extremist-Protestant event known as ‘revival’

46.  Jack’s canny analysis of an example of this rare kind of self-reforming change as (almost) experienced by him (once)

 

III.  The deplorably 'naked sermon to clothed Indians'

47.  Rev’s reaction and that of the pundits to the inimitable ‘naked sermon’

48.  the naked sermon itself

49.  a list of the several Remaking Healing Cure principles borrowed (meaning stolen) (at least partly) from Jesus Christ

50.  the naked sermon’s punch line:  have faith, i.e., hope and conviction that one can reform oneself and change

 

IV.  The Remaking’s ‘HEALING FIREWORKS’ as summed up by pundits in eight famous examples (51-58) they claimed to have found in mj lorenzo’s famous Remaking trip itself

 

51.  an utterly drastic and immediate unplanned change of life style

52.  electrocution by lightning, i.e., ’nature’s shock therapy’

53.  total temporary erasure of grey matter intellect

54.  irritating exhortative sermons or sermon-like rants

55.  threats of death and/or physical violence combined with messages of love

56.  extreme sexual imagery so drastic as to cause visual and emotional shock

57.  actual physical roughness or even violence

58.  drastic-attitude-change date-fixings

 

V.  Further thoughts on FIREWORKS therapy

 

59.  fireworks punditrizing in general and its historical roots

60.  Fort Simpson was THE fireworks chapter as pundits agreed:  all fireworks having been aimed at igniting self-reforming change

61.  people who forgot so easily the nearness of bombs may have been the very ones who needed bombs and fireworks therapy more than anyone

 

 

the very sad Fort Resolution envelope

 

62.  you never could take this sad bundle to the ABPA the Awe-ful Bird-Puppies Asylum

63.  the sad and legendary Fort Resolution study group and what they found

64.  and how their handling of the sad Fort Resolution envelope became the official litmus test for determining who could be a legitimate Remaking pundit

65.  the true but sad meaning of Fort Resolution

66.  yet the true meaning could not be found on the page (!)

67.  there were merely hints of the vast pallor to come

68.  Fort Resolution infuriated and depressed Rev Lorenzo too

69.  exactly why analyzing Fort Resolution always got everybody so upset

70.  how was one to interpret Jack’s wanting to reunify with Mortimer?!

71.  the one and only sad thing to keep in mind while reading Fort Resolution

72.  the get-well scrapbook and the unfunny remainder of Fort Resolution

73.  how Dr. Lorenzo came to defend and condemn his Fort Resolution envelope

74.  how some pundits came to want a world of Mortimer-less mjs

75.  and certain other pundits preferred ‘the addiction interpretation’

76.  but after decades of living with very sad Fort Resolution it was probably the mainstream pundit interpretation that mattered most

 

 

Fort Smith   (2nd encounter of M and J)

 

I.  A magical spa

77.  Fort Smith: dingy nordic outpost or magical healing spa?

78.  grand, exceedingly important and very different
