to see the puzzle you one msut move beyond the boundaries of their piece in it.

it's why, the general 'technique' is so similar across so many languages, world views and times... because it's a simple roadmap but a long journey.... you need to overcome your ego.... let go of who you are and allow your piece of the puzzle to be "complete" with the puzzle itself.

we all have moments, at varying levels, of "getting it" -- some know what it is, some don't.... a moment of intuition, synchronicity, coincidence... and why so many have "that moment" when something significant happens (sometimes dramatic), or on the flip side, are in a state of peace....

in peace you can see beyond your piece and through the eyes of the puzzle -- after all, the piece was nonetheless created in the image of the greater whole. holy wholly.

the providence of pun... we are all connected, cells of a working body that think they are the body and that their cells are not bodies...


so word up brother - sounds like a great read, and I love your perspective on it so far. solid point of view. :)

fuck yeah. You should seriously consider checking it out. There's some insane correlations between mythology and contemporary science that the author highlights.

An equally impressive aspect of these correlations is the fact that the author was only led to them by his own intuition, and then later reaffirmed by scientific research. This makes me think of this Terrence Mckenna quote: “Half the time you think you're thinking you’re actually listening." The implication here is obvious since you touched on it already, I just really wanted to share that quote lol.

@NYCSPITZ check it out bro, you'd definitely appreciate it. The book is fairly short, but incredibly dense with substance. Like, there was some chapters where every paragraph was like a mindfuck, and I just had to put the book down and think. So in that way, it took about 4 days to read when it shouldve taken one or two.

@King Masa II my world literature teacher has been recommending that book to me for a while. Any good?

@Mordycai how was it? waz it about mane
