During the height of Nazi Terrorism in Germany, one of my HEROES, Richard Wilhelm, delivered the now FAMOUS, "8 Lectures on the I Ching" . He defended this Effort by stating that, although the World was being shredded by HATE and FEAR, it was of universal BENEFIT to direct the Mind toward Academic Profundity in that the I Ching cood be used to Interpret Reality in such a way as to relax the Psyche that it may find VIABLE Resistance to the Onslaught of Barbaric {SAVAGE} Brutality . Here now a "DIFFERENCE" in 'Focus' but one SIMILAR, in Intent . Clearly, there was a NEED for Relief from Reality, but done in such a way as to begin to Repair the Mind via Academic Reference .
I WANT to figure it this way [by using this syllogism] : If Salinger and Wilhelm can find Justification by means of Academic Fortitude, then I shood* >feel< the same way ~~~ does that make sense ? I mean, it shood* .
