The Man who Made Logical Sexy.

Leonard Nimoy was sent by God. It’s a rare talent that can combine the exceptional with the unexceptional, the simple with the complex, the essential with the throw away. It takes such a talent to make logical sexy. To say he was sent by God merely reminds me we all were. Somehow you can’t be a fan of NimSpock because you know he would be indifferent to it, neither enjoy or condemn it, and somehow when a person is indifferent to one’s requests to play the game of indulgence, self or other, all one has left is to love. I find there is a processing between the senses and the soul we call the self. We use it both on incoming perception and on outgoing reaction. What colours our perception also and likewise colours our reaction to it. It becomes confusing. In this way we retaliate angrily to what appears to give cause to anger not realising the whole issue of anger is the insertion of our processing self. Actually occurrences are always neutral. That’s what NimSpock offered us and strangely enough we loved it. We felt free of human entanglement. Then of course came the buts, ‘but he butted me first’, yet if we harangued NimSpock he would just smile slightly and say, “Interesting reaction.” He would conclude if the initial aggression was not useful then escalating it would be illogical. Like Jesus he would turn the other cheek for a better view and in some chemical way his curiosity would neutralise the ‘processing self’. He would appear stronger, more resilient and sexier than those in the thrall of mere circumstance. When so many lives are thwarted by the machinations of their ruling self it’s worth remembering it can be brought down to size by simply observing, “Interesting reaction.” So thank you Leonard for giving us NimSpock may you rest in peace. I know you will, it’s logical.
