Theos-Talk Archives (April 1995 Message tl00094)

Hello everyone,

Thanx Bill for putting the words down on Grokking.  It felt good
to see that I am not the only one who considers Heinlein's work
as the TRUTH in theological sense.  I do not hurt my position as
a theologist in saying this and the following as I ain't one yet.

Not that I want to start a Heinlein fan club here but I place his
work very near to the preachings of some of the wise people of
all times and even better in the sense that he presented his view
of whole Truth in a very easy to understand manner.  Its like a
holy scripture for me and nothing less.

One thing about the definition of grokking Bill presents, I would
like to see it include "love" as part of definition as I feel the
strongest thing comes out from this word is that language of love
is the only way to perceive nature, (including humans).  (BTW,
would love to know if anyone has tried grokking other human
beings?)

I like to go further and consider "Language of Love" as the
essence of the Universe.  When one truly loves or groks
something, one is able to perceive (best possible, I can come up
with) the fundamental force or energy that IS everything.  Its
like being able to break oneself down to the ultimate force and
then just follow it or be it.  Am developing a thought process
that perhaps this is what they mean by Nirvana?

Anyway I am getting ahead of myself here.  Would like to talk to
you Bill further about the book.  Also could someone please give
reference for this work by Serge King?

Namaste
