12. The generic “tree,” which stands before you is, as well,
the Perfect Embodiment of the Ideal of which you have not learned the name. Not

14. Innocence is the greatest power.
15. We are creatures of choice and choose our own lives. We
create our own embodiment. It is unlikely that such creatures would ever choose
lives which they are incapable of living.
16. “Knowing better” is seldom a preventative, never a cure.
17. Changing your mind is not a flaw. In all likelihood, the
“mistake” you made yesterday is the foundation of your enlightenment today.
18. If what has gone before is true and 1) all things occupy
the same space at the same time (8); 2) it is possible to be in two places at
the same time (48); 3) we are simultaneously at all times (113); 4) at rest all
things are infinite (262), then . . . ?
19. Is red better than blue? Is yellow less moral than
green? Is one love ever inferior or superior to another?

blue, the roses blue, etc. (“Who painted my roses red?” demanded the Queen.)
