Relax, sip a low calorie drink, and enjoy the ride&#8230; As prior, we do value your time, and fully intend to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153deliver the goods\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Note that while there is some \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcfancy footwork\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 along the way, the core theme, which you are aware of, remains intact \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and flows through the core of the work throughout. So, follow the flow of the book. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get stuck on any one sentence or paragraph or page.<\/p>\n<p>If ~stuck on a sentence, re-read it once, perhaps, then roll forward regardless. No one sentence or paragraph makes-or-breaks Book #2. The concepts are all attaching to the core \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcspinal column\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 of POTENTIAL&#8230;&#8230;.Extraordinariation. Your subconscious will connect-the-various dots. Matters will crystallize further.<\/p>\n<p>Then, as appropriate, consider looping-around for a second run at the entire book. It should have a different texture in subsequent run-throughs. We are endeavoring to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153get-our-arms around\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the Cosmic Code, and, indeed, around the INFINITE. If this were so simple, it would have been done previously.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, I am going to rapidly introduce the first series of hypothesized \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Cosmic Tools\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Each is actually inter-related with the others. Note that the explanations for each are perhaps less intimidating than the individual \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctool names\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Birnbaum<br \/>\n<img src=\"https:\/\/summametaphysica.com\/gg\/50vert.gif\" \/><br \/>\n<!--COPY THIS ENTIRE CODE TO START TABLE--><\/p>\n<hr width=\"80%\" size=\"1\" align=\"left\" \/>\n<table width=\"314\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 125px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/summametaphysica.com\/gg\/part-i-the-cosmic-womb-of-potential\/\">< BACK<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50px\"><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/summametaphysica.com\/gg\/beta-test\/\">NEXT PAGE><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><!--END OF TABLE--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Chacham, Ma hoo\u00e2\u20ac\u201co\u00e2\u20ac\u201cmer?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The Wise Son, (of Haggadah fame) What does he ask?
