Theos-Talk Archives (December 2002 Message tt00603)

Mauri,

You need to take a year or so off from all of you wondering, speculating, 
parenthesizing and just concentrate and focus on the intent and meaning of 
those three objects. If you do that, there is a chance that you will come to 
see the uselessness of unstudied verbosity. The answers to all your 
speculative commentary, lie in the full understanding of those three objects 
just as they are. Quiet contemplation is the method, unfolding intuition is 
the payload.

Best regards,

Louis
