K, lol.

Sorry friend, I have too many guilt issues with spending a lot of time responding to deep armchair philosophical points when I barely have enough money to eat (ironically enough, now that I type it.) Just trying to focus on job search lately so not trying to ignore on purpose.

Should have at least included an explanation. That book IS what I have to say about your post.

I'm not going to participate in trying to define God, until we at least address that it's a very popular question and well-studied beyond your 5x7 Nubblies post.


Huxley wrote a lot of amazing fiction but also some interesting nonfiction, the most famous being The Doors of Perception That book I posted about the "Perennial" philosophy, which is the "Always been since human history" philosophy, the one that, despite all the intellectual arguments and advances and rationalism etc. --- this is his compiled comparative religious experiences (as a reporter, as a scientist, like William James), all having to do with "Spirit", "The One", "The Universe", "Atman", or, my least favorite term, God.

This is why I thought you may find it interesting. By reading it, you will come to a greater understanding of all the different definitions of "Spirit" by a bona-fide literary genius, and thus develop a stronger foundation of ideas (the paths of which have been laid down for you) for you to build your own ideas on. I'm not finished with it yet, either.


Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.
