Occult American

 I want to consider the background of American lit's most highly acclaimed content in Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, Whitman, Dickinson, and its occult or mystical, often biblical or interpretations of biblical substance as separate from the narrative accounts, allowing for the difference from that time to this when a longer form of sentence and description was an equal attraction with the content, there being no TV digital entertainment at all. As I say, that narrative prowess aside, which in all the leading writers of the canon is to excellently tell a tale, given, but what is the tale about. It is as above, an investigation in fiction or poetry of the apprehension of the unknown. It is as if these were handbooks of magic, or distillations of them, driven by madness, or drugs, or secret kabbala  rituals, versions of the Babylonian Talmud translated for the goyim gentile, what Yeats is doing in his investigations with his wife, but which it is not unfair to say is best described in Enoch I, from the Dead Sea Scrolls, so back to the Bible again. So much of it is bible based, or inverted, mirrored. This suggests both that there is truth in the literal source that it would be so twisted, and that there is an unknown reality counter to it, separate and apart, to which these writers also constantly refer, back and forth they go. That Emerson and Thoreau add the transcendental with Whitman, the expanding selfhood,  is another variety on the theme. We may take religion withal, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian --Muslim less so --as a branch of literature, or literature as a branch of religion, as the Romantic poets seem to take it, with or without God. That such ideas amplify in later writers from Crane to Faulkner confecting history within, like retelling the American west in Cormac McCarthy, always getting more violent and adding in the popular occult in the multi voiced authors of children's stories from the furries to otherkin, preparing, it supposes, always preparing for the appearance of the other self, the other world landings now gone to fear every stray satellite, orb, underground apocalypse seems to promote the Revelation of John, again the biblical, to the forefront of modern takes of the occult.This graduates into the question I took up in linguistics in 1970 when analysis by synthesis was the theory of how to make text interpreted by machine, which could not be done, but in 20 yrs or less the ARPA net linked those half dozen universities in precursor to internet connection, the very point, linking many machines to share data bases and analysis that Amos de Shalit urged on Ben-Gurion in those sabbath night discussions so long ago sponsored in the prime minister's home where he hosted as many advanced physicists etc as he could to discuss this,  so by 1993 it was established easily transferring text to digital print as on Ygdrasil Journal, etc. The question is considering the extreme complexity of our biology and its balances of enzymes and peptides and on, that fuel our intellects, how is it that this could be abstracted into a machine so I can argue with open Xai.
