      Notes, 1-75

      Introduction

      1. Naked Truth is most beautiful - and the simpler its expression, the deeper the impression it makes. 1

      2. Simplicity is a feature of Truth. Style comes via the thoughts expressed.

      3. I chisel out Beauty - the invulnerable part, the Truth. 2

      4. I clothe much thought in a few words.

      Part 1

      12. To facilitate consciousness we learned to artificially distinguish, to falsify!

      13. Thinking is deceptive. We’re covered with veils of illusion.

      14. Our illusions cover our dissonance.

      15. Our discord comes
