vs. Force in December 2001:
All human endeavor has the common goal of understanding or influencing
human experience. To this end, man has developed numerous descriptive
and analytical disciplines: Morality, Philosophy, Psychology, and
so on... Regardless what branch of inquiry one starts from - philosophy,
political theory, theology-all avenues of investigation eventually
converge at a common meeting point: the quest for an organized understanding
of the nature of pure consciousness... To explain that which is simple
can be difficult indeed. Much of this book is devoted to the process
of making the simple obvious. If we can understand even one simple
thing in depth, we will have greatly expanded our capacity for comprehending
the nature of the universe and life itself.
