“The first glimpse of reality came through our direct experience with the incongruent patterns of existence… This duality served as the gateway for considerations far beyond the world of experience, into the world of understanding.”
– Book I-Dualism
From the Publisher of the Free Weekly Substack "How Things Work!"
"This unique Substack by FRANK ELKINS is not strictly speaking history. It is a strange mix of history, philosophy, theology, spirituality, physics, and astronomy… It reminds you of those times when physics, like Blaise Pascal, did not only define physical laws and run experiments but wrote poetry and philosophy as well. I miss those times. And I miss the lively discussion these guys created, because today scientists like to divide our world into subjects, and these subjects into niches. Yet, the world we live in is just one, and we strive to comprehend it as it is. Try this... for a start."
– Barbora, the Rebel Historian
