Recall Plato, where δικαιοσύνη (Justice) is instituted by "divine power," and it is where man is "master of his own law." It is a matter of adjustment: directionality towards iūstitia. When the fire has died and the night black, what do you see as your eyes adjust to the World?.

An "Insight into that which is": an Insight of the truth of Being into Man; a "renunciation fo self-will" in which the Truth of Being flashes and then cools into Man - Man as Warm Obsidian. -.Now, how does this all relate to Justice, justitia, δῐκαιοσῠ́νη?

Heidegger calls this Artifact "the distant advent" of the coming to presence of this Molten Truth. This Artifact secures and safekeeps the promise of this Advent. But how does one Correspond to the coming to presence of this Molten Truth? How do you know the Obsidian is Warm?

Perhaps, it is recognition that in each moment where think and see the World, there lies the danger of misinterpretation. Crucially: a sense of this danger is the felt experience of the Obsidian of Being as Obsidian, as the Record and Artifact of Molten Truth coming to pass.

This Obsidian is the Ordering of Being- its Lifelessness: your World might just be of the "Ruler's Standard": your World your relation to Habits of Thinking whose Harmony with Your Law you haven't thought through. So, what is the form of this "Mining-Away," this pursuit of Truth?.

Think of Heidegger's Being as an infinitely Red-Hot, Molten, Hidden Something whose Presence is ever being concealed by its cooling Obsidian. Your World and Heaven is its Obsidian, and your search for its Truth a Mining-Away at the Cooling Stone - a pursuit of the Molten Heat.

And yet, Heidegger finds in Nietzsche a third interpretation for which the common understanding of the "Ruler's Standard" does not suffice. What does he mean when he calls justice the "making secure that characterizes that which primarily and genuinely is, in its Being?"

And how does Justice enter modern thought? Heidegger on the one hand nods to earlier Biblical interpretations of Justice, naming it "the question of the certainty of salvation." On the other, he invokes Nietzsche; it is the Ruler's Standard - what "eternalizes a power relation."

In reality, δικαιοσύνη (Justice) is inward: it instituted by "divine power," and it is where man is "master of his own law." A "just action" is that which preserves man's harmonious relation to his nature. A "just society" is derived from this self-relation of its members.

Plato's investigation of δικαιοσύνη (transl. Justice) in The Republic is expansive. For one, it is one of the four virtues (with Wisdom, Courage, and Temperance) of the ideal state. One might call Justice here as "Acting according to one's role," but the truth is more nuanced.

Using iustitia, St. Augustine writes "we behold in God the unchangeable form of righteousness, according to which we judge that man ought to live." Righteousnes / iustitia is an orienting force: it is what, where faith searches for truth, orders life in its activity.

Consider Matthew 5:6. The original Greek δῐκαιοσῠ́νη is translated to Latin using iūstitia and English as "Righteousness": "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Righteousness, iustitia, δῐκαιοσῠ́νη: what is meant by these terms?

what does it mean to adjust [from Latin ad (to, up to, towards) + iustus (correct, proper, exact)]? Directionality towards iūstus / iūstitia: commonly translated as "justice" or "righteousness," this term is used by prophets and philosophers to explore Harmony with Being.

focus is the fire i sit by; it is a period of stability, absorption. the fire stays lit: it creates a here-ness, a focal point my mind cant wander from. the fire weakens: something outside sees me collected there like a fenced in child. it dies out, and I adjust to the night.

fan of this scene from gravity's rainbow. a man has a habit of wrapping himself in chains and rowing out into a lake during storms; here its explained why. his language pairs the emotion described with pure abstraction & ups the intensity of the sought-for experience of infinity.
