Still Staring Into a Prolonged Eclipse

Honestly, I am not immensely interested in what Plato and the Platonists have been banging on about for the past two thousand five hundred years. What interests me is what Jesus said two thousand years ago.

In my book, Jesus’ two-thousand-year-old words created a cosmic shift that should have tempered the incessant five-hundred-year-old Platonic drumbeat and cast it in an entirely new light. 

Unfortunately, the opposite occurred. Men utilized Plato — and many other systems, models, and ideas — to "correct" and amend the cosmic shift, thereby muting and obscuring its simplicity and significance in man’s thinking. 

The magnitude or reality of the cosmic shift is still there, but it has been obscured in much the same way the moon obscures the sun during a solar eclipse. 

Men have been staring wide-eyed into that eclipse for over two millennia, believing the dark circle and its dazzling corona to be the source of all light. Nearly all have been unwilling to comprehend that the true light emanates from behind the dark orb. 
​
Men have been partially blinded. A prolonged eclipse has a way of doing that.
