I just read the Introduction of North’s book. It’s as if I was reading a biography of the very early years of my life. All the familiar phrases, people’s names, book titles, Herman Hesse! (I’d forgotten about him), pop songs and albums, (A phrase that struck a note: “Kennedy’s death on November 22, 1963 was in fact the death rattle of the older rationalism.”), listening to tunes the words of which had no real meaning to me but sounded dreamy, experiences of daily life and all the news fit to print.
Thinking back to those times, I remember wondering where all those ideas were coming from. I was puzzled. I haven’t changed my mind.
The passage of time produced the children of those times, perhaps the grandchildren, bringing back a more sophisticated evil. A wild gene at work.
A thought came to me that maybe I am a closet Calvinist.
"A thought came to me that maybe I am a closet Calvinist."
LOL LOL I know I have a warped sense of humor but THAT is funny! Who knew, right? And I say that as a Calvinist. It's like all these Democrats finding out that they are not really Democrats.
😊Truly. Sometimes I feel rather singular in the way I view things with some of my friends. It's a kind of query. "Can't you see that??" And that's just the secular facets of life. I get very peculiar looks when I start blathering on about how I feel lead. So nice to hear someone else feels the same way.
Found it in PDF form on his website.
Thanks Jeff. I was unaware.
