Ask Grandpa

<P><I><FONT FACE="Arial">This is philosophy, a handbook of living on this planet. As it is meant for any reader, it had to be worded somewhat like Science Fiction, thus sugaring the pill. It is a full tool-set for reaching mental freedom and growth (as far as I know the only one in existence, yet). Be warned, though, that all this is serious business, certainly no escapist binge. Culture is too precious to be squandered by hiding within such a primitive society as the human one is yet. I give you the tools to free yourself mentally, even before the general level of culture permits it more broadly (if you can stand that freedom). It is the most difficult challenge you are likely to meet in your entire life. It takes stamina to absorb this. Only fully clear minds will feel liberated by it. Please, have a go! </FONT></I></P> <H4><I><FONT FACE="Arial">You are looking at this page with a browser that doesn’t support frames!
