The Private Particle Toils Not Without Hope

From Robert Godwin's More-Than-Vedanta blog, same as the name of his delightfully head-spinning book, One Cosmos. You want an on-the-edge, non-New-Age reading list? (From Frodo to the Desert Fathers...)

Buy the book for the bibliography and notes. Then read the text for free.

Head-spinning morsels from the weekend post:

"But it's so beautiful!" is not the end of the argument. Who says the Adversary isn't also an aesthete?

Beauty... is a perfectly acceptable response as far as the Prince of this World is concerned, so long as the beauty does not stir [man] from his metaphysical slumber.

Without disregarding the idea of the Transcendent Source that religions invoke, his perspective points to an actual inner movement, aligning one's mind and emotions with oneself as the finished product of Grace. A "formal appeal" to a very intimate teleological ally.

When you meditate or pray, you are [inter alia] actually making a formal appeal to your "future self" to manifest: thy kingdom come, thy will be done.

Time, utilized, as another ally.

Your true Self is nothing less than the Whologram of your private particle that has already realized its destiny and patiently waits for the rest of you to catch up.

Go to it "Gagdad Bob"! Go to it,"Intrinsic Opacity of Language"!

A remarkably equal tussle.

Private particle is to Whologram as Image is to Likeness. Achieving timelessness takes time. That's why we have evolution.
