Heard on the message board:
“The deeper understanding I am relating does not make a decision about the existence of ‘God.’ There is always an ultimate indescribably whole. It is indescribable because it is our own origin and no system can comprehend its own origin. It is like taking a video of the television screen of the same video – the origin retreats to infinity. ‘God’ is our word for ultimate source and all traditions agree, even science, that it is indescribable. The Vedic word is “Brahman” which is beyond knowability. If you personalize that, you get one mode of understanding. If you impersonalize it you get another. They are both correct in that they capture aspects of the indescribable mystery, which is us and our own origin. In any case. Cheer up.

For a split second I thought about Bradbury and realized my Sci-Fi course really is relevant.
Then I bought $40 worth of shit I don’t need.
