I once did a read-along with this well known figure on Bookgram by the sobriquette everyone who reads must converse. The book we were reading was "Against The Day"; not to spoil the anecdote too soon, but... I read about halfway in only a couple days and thought of contributing in some unconventional harangue; I guess it was a blimp that goes out from the Center of the Earth .. like the Jules Verne story .. hm, now I would to converse about O'Connor yet again, since I read the stories previously and then was already familiar with em, but I just needed rather in a attractive magnetism to point Cardinal north. Here I could stand my ground, and became the first book in a while that guided me, and exposed Johnson's BULLSHIT with the 140 IQ, and science though just is missing the integrity of identifying the mythical. Folks who believe in science somehow misconstrue the cosmic forces of nature which really fabricate the Supernatural. No, Science is just another one of Mankind's Plots and Trickery to avert the ape 🦧 that desperately clings to be immortal. The extraterrestrials we think have materialized in our Saga has always been the Gods, and the Angels... And that I think exposes the futility of scientific explanation, but not by effacing evolutionary 'conundrums,' that is true. Fact is, we forget and we unlearn history that Everytime we are reborn to this world, books can only explain so far as interpretation shall reveal.
"Although the Bodhisattva leads an infinite number of creatures into Nirvana, in reality there are neither any Bodhisattvas to do the leading nor any creatures to be led."
Know that euphemism the devil can hide behind the Bible... What if the unseen hides behind the veil, that in disenchantment and ignorance they have failed to see? After all, humans are just wired to forget; drugs, and Vidya, and all of the interesting phenomena that diminishes our clairvoyance to see into the far distance, beyond the horizon of life and connoitering upon the dirt, sleeps a giant of the most finite immensity, still the absolute most eternal thing observable; that, the universe, the collapsing gas giants those immeasurable pretending to be inert, biding time
