I am afraid you are getting a little too telegraphic.....

I knew a fellow (Irish, of course) who thought that the key to "It All" was in Finnegan's Wake. He had a tendency to lecture drunk, so there was some incoherence in the one attempt I made to fathom what he thought he had discerned. My impression was that he was simply overwhelmed by the polyglot obscurity of it all. I mean, something that threw in the kitchen sink referentially, as it were, had to be profound. And since FW did this in spades, it had to be the profoundest of all.

The idea of the unity of all cultures, grounded in the collective unconscious and the archetypal imagery generated therefrom, holds an understandable excitement, especially if there is a suggestion that it points to some mystical truth that comprehends most religions and philosophical speculations. The question is, are all particular truth claims soluble within this universalizing vision?
