'There is only This' is one of the last and greatest delusions of them all. Just enough to keep one hanging on to some thing. Those that promote it can't give it up as it is a dependency always denied. For then what would they have to point to? What need for their services? Guidance? Elaborations of the psychology of realization, the art of reading between lines and in between words is a highway to hysteria. Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
