You probably have a to-be-read-someday book stack like mine, but can Ii recommend the works of Craig Shelton, Yale neurochemist, award winning chef, and philosopher-king? Also, he's a hell of a nice guy and wicked smart.

"Craig C. Shelton is a philosopher, institutional architect, and author of Integral Liberty Vol. I-V, The Enlightened Restaurant, The Companion Workbook, Up from Neoliberalism, Light Made Flesh, & The Parables of Jesus. He is also a chef and farmer."

I'm not familiar with him, but a quick glance at his site looks really interesting. I'll take a closer look. It's difficult to find germane things on Substack and reality-facing people need to be aware of each other. Thanks.

You're welcome. I find his stuff a treasure house of goodness.

"Lead me

"From the unreal to the real..."

- Bhagavad Gita (via John McLaughlin)

The understanding that we humans don't know what is real, the importance of knowing it, and the desire to know, are all very, very old.
