"The Science of Mind" by Ernest Holmes

Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.
- A quote from the book. The overall message that I took away from it was oddly similar to what I understand about Chim and all that. Realizing that you're everyone while retaining you're individual self. Holmes' understanding of how Jesus was able to perform miracles by "being in the mindset of the creator" sounded alot like somebody who had achieved Chim. Either way I think it deserves to be looked into for further understandings on apotheosis and whatnot.

For extra fun, look at Lacan's mirror-stage developmental theory, in light of the Enantiomorphs.

Just about any philosophy, religion, or metaphysics will contain either parts of TES or commentary on it. There aren't any new thoughts.

Yeah. I realized in my English class that the book we just finished, Ethan Frome, was representative of the clash between Anu and Padomay. We could start a whole philosophical school; Scrollism

Well I found out what Chim was, at least some of this is clear to me now :|

I'm not going to elaborate, because that'd be veering off the topic of TES, but I disagree with you and postmodernity here. It's too reductionist and too dismissive of human intellect to say "we've mined out the human experience. There isn't anything new."

It makes sense that some modern occultism stuff or whatever is similar to CHIM. MK himself mentions that "Reach Heaven By Violence" was taken from Aleister Crowley.
