The Sublime & Beautiful vs. Reality

This blog is a record of one man's struggle to search for scientific, philosophical, and religious truth in the face of the limitations imposed on him by economics, psychology, and social conditioning; it is the philosophical outworking of everyday life in contrast to ideals and how it could have been.


-
The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God
and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics.

Good Friday Translation

Grant us rest, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon us.
Hymns shall become thee, O God in Zion, and to thee shall new vows be paid in Jerusalem.
Hear thou my prayer, 0 Lord God; unto thee shall all flesh come.
Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us.

Lamb of God, you who takes away the sins of the world, grant to us, O Lord eternal rest.
Let light eternal shine upon us, O Lord God, forever with your blessed servants, for you are gracious, Lord;
Grant to us, Lord, eternal rest; let light perpetual shine upon us.

Hail true body born of the Virgin Mary:
Truly suffered, sacrificed on the cross for man,
Whose pierced side flowed with true blood.
Be to us food (now and) in the trial of death.

In paradise be thou received of angel hosts,
Thy coming attended by all the blessed martyr throng,
Thy pathway guided into the holy city, Jerusalem,
May the chorus of angels there receive thee; and with Lazarus, once a beggar, now comforted, be thine eternal rest.

Christ, we do all adore thee, and we do praise thee forever, for on the holy cross hast thou the world from sin redeemed. Christ, we do all adore thee!
