hey man, PM me if you can I want to talk about your lineage question as I may have some useful info for you as this sort of thing isn't as uncommon as some might think.
Yes have finished reading it and it had a very profound effect on me. I used to be ardently atheistic and completely Newtonian science based in my thinking. Now I realise that what I thought was atheism to me has been recontextualised. The unifing force (power) in the universe that is ever present (the thing that makes all the particles vibrate at a particular frequency - e.g. making this keyboard stay a keyboard) is the same thing as the bearded man in the sky that religionists are so afraid of. To me it kind of made everthing come together and made me see things that I thought were in opposition as the perfect manifestations of potential that they are.
hello, recently read power vs force... still not decided on "good" or "bad". it IS thought provoking though. have you finished? thanks
