it is this 'understanding the core' that is key; this core is the *revelatory
aspect of ZAMM*.
ZAMM reveals the truth; this is how truth is always disclosed; it is always a
piercing of the veil.
truth is ineffable, it eludes the grasp of linear language, waking language;
it's logic is the logic of the dream, mythopoetry.
of those that have seen beneath the veil, many have tried to transmit the
experience, and each transmission, each creative expression bears something in
common with its brethren, some internal logical consistency, some harmonic
resonance, because they all seek to relate the same essentialities. and this is
why knowledge of the truth persists through time, because when you get it, you
get it and you recognise it behind the different conceptual masks it wears.
... let us now list some of the brothers:
the perennial philosophy, know thyself,
tat tvam asi....
who knows some other siblings?
