Esoterics and Baseball

cth > You’re more than welcome to scroll right on past anything that doesn’t interest you and to refrain from making snarky back-handed compliments.

I don’t know if this Jane Dough intended snark or not, but let’s face it, the scriptural-historical-astronomical studies get pretty arcane, like any esoteric knowledge, unless one has been deeply into it and following it all. I want to follow your work, but scroll past more often than I’d like, so much of it remains “arcane,” for me, anyway, for now.

Count yourself lucky. If I read them more deeply, I’d probably be pummeling you with questions or, much worse, my own tsunami of probably only marginally related thoughts!!

And Dough’s certainly right about your Babe Ruth-like record. The “other things” – about common political matters – being more accessible, are easier to repeat, or otherwise pass along.

“Esoteric” is, at least in my meaning, not a valuation per se, but a reference to being inside a complicated system of understanding I haven’t grasped, and I wish I could find a better way to put that. I’ve been deep into a few esoteric thought-systems myself, from religion to computers.

There’s valuable and there’s worthless, too, and sometimes you have to get pretty deep into something to find out which is which, sometimes beyond reason and perception, with only the Spirit of Truth as your guide.

Often, there’s that gem of divine value hidden deep in the biggest pile of… error. Of course, that’s not a great reward system. Makes one keep digging through piles of… error… for such rare gems, when over at the diamond mine everyone else is picking them up off the ground.

(Heh. Like that?)
