Could someone with a better education translate this into English for me please?

See p. 13 - article entitled "Opening the Gate"

"The other is a fervent admirer who would reveal to it (and anyone interested) its inner secrets, wider significance and occasionally, mnemonic imperatives towards self-fragilising interactions within the matrixial border space"

Brendan , this is surely a must for Private Eye's pseuds corner !

I looked up "fragilising" and "matrixial" in my dictionary app and got the same response "no definitions available" so I am sorry I can be of no help.

 

[Brendan Burgess]

I looked up "fragilising"

But did you look up "self-fragilising"? I had heard the word before. I think it was something that members of Opus Dei do.

Haven't a clue about stuff like "mnemonic imperatives", "self-fragilising" or "within the ... border space" though....

That would be "self-flagellation" there Brendan!

Well Ceist you can never be sure with those Opus Dei folk. They would not I am sure be opposed to a bit of self-fragilising as well. It is but a short step from flagellation to fragilising.

If you self flagellate too much you end up self fragillating yourself.

The author is intoxicated by the exuberance of their own verbosity.

I may be onto something. Ever see the Sound of Music. It had an expression "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"

Seems to me that Peter is completely missing the supercali collateral effects of a matrixial interaction without reference to the expialidotious inner causality of the human cyclical condition.

 

[Ceist Beag]

I like it Duke - but that would be from Mary Poppins you'll find!

I was just about to say the same thing!

Julie Andrews films all seemed the same to me.

The other is an over-sharing nerd.
