Welcome back to the Bottom Turtle Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Ray recites his poem The Ultimate Abstraction. The theme of the poem is understanding the relationships between paradoxes, abstractions, faith, and truth.
The episode begins with an introduction to the poem to help guide the listener to a location in the space of states of mind that is best able to receive the poem. That is, the purpose of the introduction is to provide the proper context so that the poem can be clearly received. The poem is about abstractions and is thus abstract itself. To pierce this layer of abstraction, the host discusses the theme of the poem in terms of one's capacity for conceptualization, paradoxes and enlightenment as it relates to Buddhist koans and the vajra prajna paramita sutra, and faith and truth as it relates to reading the Bible. In particular, the host discusses his experience reading the book of John chapter 6 in which Jesus gives his disciples a very challenging proposition.
