It is a literary approaching to analyzing the relationship between hubris, assent, culture and childish intuitions of the absurdity of a society that treats the knowledge of how to make nuclear weapons as an absolute trans-cultural absolute definition of what it means to be a wise person ("a physicist", that one is a real "Einstein").
If you go the main centers of spiritual learning that supposedly come from the wise and learned, you know what they do there, right? At places like MIT and Stanford. They make weapons. And they say we should worship their science and call it a trans-cultural absolute definition of wisdom.
I think it is so foolish that it is worth writing like a child.
The fact that you cannot understand what I write does not make me a fool. I am not an obscurantist, everything I do, I do for a purpose. There is a lot of other stuff in there, a lot of symbolism, trying to rethink theology outside of the usual categories of holiness and sin and instead appreciating God's nature in itself, which is, independent of the context of scripture, not at all a polemic against evil but a self assured projection of a non-contingent being who eternally projects as his unwavering telos the good and pleasure of all things, according to their various natures and the sum of their natures.
I think to appreciate God, who cannot be perceived is like looking a child who experiences his parents independently of any linguistic categories or philosophical prejudice of their nature, but absorbs their character as pure pleasure, and instead of defining their parents on the basis of some sort of a priori rationalism defines his entire philosophical outlook on the more real properly basic beliefs of his parents. Perhaps through this, children learn what love is.
I am a mystic, I despise the foolishness of men that worship their petty materialistic schemes, who make a God out of their weapons and greed, and lack imagination, so it is always my pleasure to point out their arrogance and pride and ethnocentrism and lack of imagination and lack of fun, which I do with great eagerness and joy to please God, whose nature is not understood through weapons science but through love, as a child understands his father.
