fine post stephen,and with that in mind i recommend the movie "At Play in the Fields of The Lord" that brings from the protaganist view(who is killed at the end of the movie) how the transcendant and ultimate mystery is addressed in all the prime ancient mythologies--in this movie's instance he addresses the American Indian Great Spirit contemplations.
i am delighted to see you refer to Robinson Jeffers as it was his poetry that lit a fire in my mind when i read significant amounts of his poetry as a teenager many many moons ago:) I even had a cat i named R.J.Paxmax p.s. in fact i see you are quite well read--the names you offer are all ones i greatly admire.

Sounds a bit like book burning to me. Actually the written word serves a valuable purpose. Yes it is the final arbiter, and yes it is unchanging, but that it as it should be. With the written word, when one hears teaching that he doesn't believe is consistent with his teaching, he can always get out the book and read it himself. Without a written word, the principles of a religion could much more easily be twisted to suit any sick purpose.
