...this seems like an interesting read, especially due to the author's
perception of oneness, the sensation that we are alone, and that our
minds can only grasp so much, as Pascal put it, ""The last proceeding of
reason is to recognize that there is an infinity of things beyond it."
The mystics always seem to baffle us, until we get what they're are
talking about in due time, as when Heraclitus put it, "When one steps in
a river twice the waters are never the same."

Of course, this means that nothing is static, forever in layman's terms,
nothing is absolutely unchanging, as seen in the river, one day, the
river might be clean and clear, the next the river could be trashed with
pollutants and waste.

When one has a mystical experience, they want to re-experience it, which
drugs and sex can help. That's why people get high, smoke Weed or inject
LSD, it gives them a mystical experience. Remembering an event is
something of re-experiencing the event that occurred, it allows one to
travel back in time without actually doing so, for example, when I was
eleven, I was in the backseat of a car, and the guy across from me
pulled his pants down and shoved his ass out the window, pretty funny.
Why do I recall that, one may ask. Well, if something happens that
reminds you, it may give you a flashback, such as in PTSD, where when a
soldier hears gunshots, all those terrible memories of the war, its
utter barbarism, the violence, the evisceration of limbs, the
amputations, the bullets roaring above your head, the torture conducted
by the enemy.

Anyways, here's the link:

Did you even read the review? The reviewer was so bored by the book, he skipped to the last chapter. He also caught out the author in a glaring inconsistency; (Stating Jesus was "utterly" non-violent, then bringing up the driving of the money lenders from the Temple which was anything BUT non-violent.)
