Fourth Note to “Northern Virginia Hangout Spots (May 26, 2025)”

The initiate and seeker – Or Shakespeare’s ‘Fair Youth’ in allegorical and figurative and metaphorical and symbolic terms – abandons all human and worldly associations in order to find the absolute and ultimate truth and reality, accompanied and abetted at first by a guide and mentor. And then it all eventually sets in. Once it sets in, the result or outcome is either gnostic solitude, or the making of a public guide or leader or even dictator or tyrant.
