Every book you open is less about the story within and more about the architecture of your own mind building itself in silence. The giant that reads while hidden inside the house is not some myth—it is you, the part of you that grows in proportion to the weight of the words you consume. The paradox is that knowledge makes you appear smaller in your own eyes, yet larger in the eyes of the world. What you mistake for being overwhelmed is actually the foundation being laid for thoughts you haven’t even earned the questions for yet.
The greater the unknown, the smaller the self imagines itself to be—yet only by being small can it hold infinity. A vessel too rigid shatters in the currents of the vast, but emptiness bends and contains the boundless. The paradox: you become infinite not by expansion, but by yielding to your own insignificance where the less you are, the more you can hold.

"This is where the story usually ends in the modern telling. The “red pill” moment is treated as the finish line. You get your medal for perception, you join the club of the disillusioned, and you spend the rest of your days polishing your new identity as someone who “knows.” You trade one set of memes for another. You swap the blue-pill lies for red-pill truths, and you think the job is done. You’ve exchanged one form of sleep for a more stimulating dream, one where you’re the hero who has figured it all out."

"…Nature praises me. Of her I am born; her I follow. She knows me, and I know her. The light which is in her I have beheld in her; outside, too, I have proved the same in the figure of the microcosm, and found it in that universe."
