8. Resources



8. Resources:

    8.1. [These paragraphs are inserted as a courtesy to those who are consulting the below list of Resources without having read the preceding text.] You may wish to bear in mind that very few, if any, of the items listed below, or not listed below, were created with anything in mind at all like the thesis expressed in this text. You may nevertheless approach them with any perspective You choose, for it is Yours, and Yours only, to decide the meaning of anything you read, or see, or experience. Thus reading a book, for instance, may be no less creative an act than writing one; for an argument with which You totally disagree may nevertheless be the catalyst for a chain of thought which unexpectedly leads You in a surprisingly fruitful direction. Fear not, therefore, to examine ideas that challenge Your beliefs -- particularly if it is knowledge You seek, or liberation of Your Self.

    8.2. As has been discussed at length above, although knowledge does not derive from books (see 2. Knowledge), their value is in no way diminished as a medium for the exchange of ideas among literate people. You will never gain knowledge from a book or any other information medium or source; but such information can nevertheless be a rich stimulus for thought, catalyst for inspiration, and/or prompt for action. That is the high hope harbored for this text: that it has been, and will continue to be, a catalyst to facilitate new, unusual and fruitful chain reactions of thought within You, and that You will thereby be stimulated to explorations You would not otherwise have undertaken.

    8.3. This text is highly eclectic, and it is impossible to list all the sources that have contributed to its development. However, it is possible to list several in different categories that may prove useful to You in the ongoing pursuit of Your own explorations. The categories of materials listed below, more or less following the order of consideration in the above text, are as follows:
