ramblings at the edge of knowledge

20 September 2014 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I chose to buy and spend time to read this book because of the content and people brought together by the author on the edge.org. I was left numb and wordless after I finished this book. There are parts where things are beautifully left unsaid and unwritten; but all in all, the book came across as something written in haste and a way to clear a confused mind. I congratulate the author for having the courage to put this ramblings for all of us--to take a peek into a mind coming in terms with its deeper ignorance.

i'm sure I read the same book; it must have been at the right time for me, personally

17 October 2014 - Published on Amazon.com

When I first read this back in college, it changed my perspective quite a bit. Around then I was reading McLuhan, Carl Jung, Ram Dass "Be Here Now", Richard Wilhelm's translation of i Ching (with the forward by Jung coincidentally) and a handful of other works culled from the Whole Earth catalog I picked up at a flea market (I should thank Stewart Brand).

This book burned off much of the fog and malaise - either self-induced or from the EDU-machine which had me midway through its digestive system - and it has held its sustain after many years.

I would recommend this for the people studying communications theory, the fledgling Buddhist to whom oneness eludes, jihadists, my analyst, generations X and Y, to the x-girlfriend who opened it and closed it almost immediately (why?)

Open the book. Focus. Think deeply, for an extended period. Understand the loop. Understand the first line does not refer to the zombie-apocalypse (I know that might lose a few readers). Look forward.

We have created environment and invention. By doing so we have affected the trajectory of evolution. Face forward. Read the book.
