COINCIDANCE 243<br />
If nonlocal appears as seven colors to human perception in space-time,<br />
then the seven/eight are a lovely isomorph of Timothy Leary's neurological<br />
model of consciousness in which there are seven circuits in the nervous<br />
system, akin to the Hindu chakras, and one nonlocal circuit, akin to Joyce's<br />
The curious reader may pursue this isomorphism further in my book<br />
Prometheus Rising, (Falcon Press, 1987) or simply by meditating on the fable of<br />
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. For now, it is sufficient to note that<br />
Leary's circuits are also isomorphic, like Joyce's Seven, with the days of the<br />
week:<br />
Monday = the day of the moon goddess = bonding to the Mother =<br />
Leary's oral bio-survival circuit. Joyce's Rubyretta refers to the infantile<br />
bonding of this circuit by a reference back to the first page of the Portrait of the<br />
Artist: "When you wet the bed first it is warm then it gets cold."<br />
Tuesday = the day of the war god, Tuew = anal territorial dispute = Leary's<br />
anal-emotional circuit. Joyce's Arancia refers to this circuit by combining<br />
William of Orange, as symbol of all Ireland's invaders, with Ares, the Greek<br />
god of war.<br />
Wednesday = the day of the god of communication, Wotan=speech=Leary's<br />
semantic circuit. Joyce's Yilla refers to the gold of Mercury, god of<br />
communication.<br />
Thursday = the day of the father god, Thor = parenthood = Leary's<br />
social-sexual circuit. Joyce's greeneriN refers to the "four green fields of<br />
Erin," an Irish symbol of social harmony.<br />
Friday = the day of the sex goddess, Freya = Tantric rapture = Leary's<br />
neurosomatic circuit. Joyce's Boyblue refers to the psychological androgyny<br />
of this circuit.<br />
Saturday = the day of the god of the past, Saturn=genetic memory=Leary's<br />
neurogenetic circuit (Joyce's ) Joyce's Odalesque refers to this circuit in its<br />
familiar mythic form as a nude female symbolizing Earth.<br />
Sunday = the day of the sun god = illumination = Leary's metaprogramming<br />
circuit. Joyce's Waters refers to this circuit in its oceanic and floating aspect.<br />
The same correlates appear in all the Northern nations of Europe. In the<br />
southern Latin nations, one finds the same isomorphism after replacing<br />
Tuew with Mars, another war god, Thor with Jove, another father god, and<br />
Freye with Venus, another sex goddess.<br />
Of course, these seven rainbow colors (or RAYNBOW girls when they<br />
appear as Rubyretta, Arancia, Yilla, greeneriN, Boyblue, Odalesque and<br />
Waters) are linked by Joycean puns to Isa Bowman, who first played Alice in<br />
Wonderland on the stage and aroused in Carroll/Dodgson the same<br />
ambiguous affection as the original Alice Pleasance Liddell. From a<br />
RAYNBOW to a Bowman (whose first name, Isa, suggests the two Isoldes)<br />
easily leads to Strongbow. Who was he? The leader of the "Anglo-Norman"
