Very informative and quite enlightening Robert you never cease to amaze me with the multitude, breadth, and depth in your pool of knowledge and the excellence of what must be exhaustive research. The measure of any Cult is how well it can controll its people and how much information that it allows them to have access to. I think that that the wheat (halucinagenic) link is right on the money.
If you think you can grow wings and fly when your on a head trip(under the influence of narcotics), its a pretty good guess that when you hit the ground you will have thought that you had flown into a building instead. The mind properly trained is a truely wonderous thing, un-trained it is at best exstreamly dangerious, if not self- destuctive. So many great men have crashed and burned for want of self disapline.
Durring the time you speak of the church was very well organized and and kept its folllowers in the dark (so to speak). If ignorance was bliss then this was indead a true time of euphoria for the potentate and his multitude of enforcers.
P.S. this is off topic but I have to tell you that even though I'm not done with it, so far I absolutly love your last book. Well written and researched as per your norm, with so many nooks and crannies, I find myself totally hooked.

how exactly does your book advertisement constitute a 'philosophical perspective'?

It illustrates that average people see the integration of knowledge which is necessary 'in the nooks and crannies' of life.

so RavenWynter is an "average person"? Is an "average person" synonymous with a "mediocre person"? Are you an "average person", Robert? If not, then what?

An average person who researches is not very average but when one goes beyond mere criticism and ridicule to check into facts then it is possible to begin learning some degree above average truth. In the case of the person to whom I was addressing that response (who thinks he is entitled to comment on things he has no knowledge of) I am suggesting that he might be (in his mind) above average.
I of course, am a writer and researcher which in matters of truth takes me beyond 'average' and I place actual work out there for the ridiculers to attack what they think (!!!!) they know.

I was thinking that the choice to present this endorsement of your wacky book in the 'philosophical perspective' forum illustrates an above average self-absorption

Could be - you see I am obsessed with trying to help humanity wake up and smell the nature of the paradigm. But I think I would know what I gave up to do this better than you.
You on the other hand don't seem capable of an original thought and parrot the paradigm at any chance to show others what kind of person you are as you beat your chest or any person who dares to think for themself.
