About this site

  1. I think that our writings serve not much more than the purpose of connecting the modern science to pre-modern science. The result of this is such: a bridge of humanity. Perhaps not strong, perhaps not more than planks of wood, but nonetheless a passage. May many cross it, who find the long journey exhaustive, and dampening to the spirits, as we have.
    1. It is with great compassion, we seek to create this. Hell seems so much less trial than the journey we have gone on. Something Tolkien would consider to be complex, too much so to write on. 
    2. The answer is simple - cross the bridge. The doing so, however, requires such great commandment of faculty, it may be smarter to enjoy the splendors on one shore and simply dream of the other. 
    3. Yet for the unfortunate soul whose loins yearn for the leap - we give you Sooul Naked - the literally bible on how to cross the bridge less burdened and almost flying. 
    4. We have each sought to express this method prior, yet exhaustively failed. Thus we have joined together 2 souls, one with more compassion and humor, the other more force of will, to braid a pleasing possibility. The merging of mind and body - a union so one may cross the bridge untainted - except as they wish to lavish the journey.
    5. The journey may be short, or it may be swift - for the suffering we encourage the latter. For the humored, do not fret to look around. Remember: one did not seek to cross the bridge to get to the other side. For the side we are now on is the other side - but simply from a new perspective. Thusly, once more - for the suffering move quickly through the material; and for the non-suffering, do you see that bird over there?
    6. For those who seem not able to take a joke and are partially not suffering - may we suggest, in detail, digesting the subject on glands. 
    7. “Where does the path lead which has no one to follow? It never existed at all.”
    8. The first aspect is understanding:
    9. The second aspect is nature. It asks everything of you yet never forces you to tell. And it is irrevocably you. The wisest refute and the foolish bow. This is the paradox. Can you be a wise fool that bows only to themselves? 
    10. We seek to show that nature - And not only the trees and bees but the cosmos themselves - is your nature. Any part left out is too big a burden to carry and requires a second trip. The difficulty of this of course is there is no second trip. Be complete in your wholeness, then. Save yourself a second trip. 
    11. Perhaps then you will see a simple bridge is bridge enough, if one does not carry heavy burdens
