>In a book name Hamlets Mill the proposition is made that if one resists inexorable change then one gets ground up for flour in the Mill of Hamlet and recycles. Reality is the true condition that is always in evolution, inexorable, invincible, irresistible. It is the prescient omniscient prescience of non-dual wisdom itself which foreknown already presents as new revelation of knowledge for the sport of self amazement. Theosophy has a distinct choice - remain in a future by adaption, or become the "flour" of Hamlets Mill.
