“Man can restructure reality in freely synthesized ways…to live a strong, hard life, in which reality opens its endless possibility, is the mark of a warrior, a man of knowledge, and the only conceivable way to live.” p. 163

from The Crack in the Cosmic Egg: Challenging Constructs of Mind and Reality, by Joseph Chilton Pearce ( Pocket Books, New York 1971 )

I enjoyed digesting this book. I found it at a yard sale. There are some online resources that deal with Mr. Pearce’s work. Although this book was published in 1971, and it was a breakthrough for its time, I think it is still relevant today. When I read, last year, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, by Robert Pirsig, I had some similar comforting thoughts that several of the cultural, philosophical/ religious issues of that time have made great progress towards resolution since then. The leading edges of prophecy and heavenly values, in my view, have accomplished foundations that most of us do not see or just take for granted. Thank You very much Mr. Pirsig & Mr. Pearce for your labors.
