~ Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
~ Henry Miller ~
And isn't it in the 5th gospel of Thomas, which unlike the other four
ascribes to jesus having said the "Kingdom of heaven is here at hand , for those whom have the eyes to see, and the ears to hear"?
We could be chasing a phantom martyr here, part~Illiad, part~ prometheus, part homeric~legend by the Sea of Galilea....an apostletic tale merged by the need for a messiah, and the longing for a King of King's.... by an oppressed tribe who made it so essential to their existence
that it be so.
If the messiah comes , do we recognize him ( or her)?
I'll try to contribute something more scientific, at some point
and time....
*back to the world of investing...of the endless play of fear and greed, of which there still seems to be an infinite supply....
