This is both "what I already knew" and a totally fresh take on his life. Thank you. I knew he'd gone into a variety of religious ideas, but did not know the motivations you describe. Indeed now he sounds most like someone I should admire more. However, I am very wary of opening doors I don't know much about, so I doubt I would ever follow his example, at least to the degree that it appears he did.

Thanks for the detailed response and insight.

EDIT: I liked also that you stated he chose the third way, Chaos. There is as you say not just Black or White: Brahma and Vishnu are not complete without Shiva. And since I already quoted Jeremiah in a post on this thread, I am reminded of another quote from the same "Call of Jeremiah".

"See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”

Destroy to build.
