Now he learned what law and order and truth are, what consent and harmony mean; how the individual may find his own end in a higher end, where law and freedom mean the same thing, and the purest certainty exists without the slightest constraint. Thus he stood on the earth, and looked to the heavens." This whole thing is really excellent. Thank you, Jess.

It seemed all the time to be telling me in one breath something I knew and something I didn't and couldn't know.

This is awesome! Shari told me you did a reading of this. I did one over a year ago but this is WAY better lol. We need more of these short stories. Do you have the collection?
@@JessPurviance I doubt I have them all either. He has soooo many works I still haven't read. I have a google drive file of some audio versions of his works though. I kind of prefer reading them, but sometimes thats hard because that takes more time. I think i shared the folder before but i can share it again. Maybe in voxer or something.
