5.0 out of 5 stars
yes!,
By TOM CORBETT "flakey" (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Endymion Omnibus (Paperback)
in some respects even better than 'hyperion'. though not as challenging a read. something akin to the wizard of oz. (a journey). if youve enjoyed hyperion, you must read this!
as an aside, what is truth? truth is 'understanding' and is a form of purity. light is 'purity', have you ever noticed that? clear natural untrammeled light is purity. at the same time light penetrates darkness and reveals things hidden. mystery itself is hiddeness, but light reveals that which was hidden (a child is born). therefore there is a correspondence between truth and light. there was a great deal of purity in this book, call it virtue. light knows itself (it sees itself mirrored), but darkness does not know itself, for in knowing oneself one sees weeknesses, strengths and failings, but without seeing these things, how would any form of virtue/purity be possible (for we would not know what to work on in ourselves). and without virtue, how would any form of coherent understanding/truth, be possible... it simply wouldnt. 'simplicity' can be a form of darkness, it is so clear, that it is obscure. simple things need to be broken down in order to be understood. God forbid, i do not say that darkness is bad, it has its place which is very important, but only that light is superior. love, snow-flake. xxx its all about love! |
