Puzzle/Complex Books

The Bible. I am a Christian, but this isn't a pro-Christian shitpost. The scriptures are filled with intricate and intertwining prophecies, mysteries, and revelations. For example, almost every word attributed to Jesus in the Gospels can be connected to Old Testament scriptures.

whoa.. really made me think

>>9926165
I heard about this. Something about about Hebrew conveying image and meaning besides the literal, and the "in the beginning" or YHWH was interpreted as "nailed to the tree."

Something like that.

Check out Charles Olson's Maximus Poems. Might also want to check out some Beckett, he's not a difficult writer really just purposefully makes himself incomprehensible

He's right in a way. It's best found by reading the Bible. There are two resources I use most.

First, https://quod.lib.umich.edu/k/kjv/simple.html, a site where you can look up every use of a word or phrase in the KJV. This is because I prefer the King James. When I find an interesting word or phrase, I search it and compare all the scriptures in which it's found. There are probably sites for other versions, but I would avoid anything that's not either the King James, Douay-Rheims, or Orthodox Study Bible (which is essentially a corrected New King James translation). Which brings me to


Second, The Orthodox Study Bible. The footnotes are invaluable, and often do a lot of the work for you, referencing connected scriptures.

While this may be true and fruitful in some cases, analyzing the text according to literal interpretations of its words is enough to last a lifetime.

Oh, sorry.

Markovian Parallax Denigrate

Grinning Parasite and the host,
clasp the Glass, command a toast.
While the multiverse dangles Our string...
joyous mutilations continue the Spring.

Bounded; so we head for the Coast,
In full pursuit of John Titor's ghost.
Mere fiber-optic ruminations and worse,
Salient failures, but still hunters for the Source.

And so the Fighting endures for the crumbs,
Ballparks, oligarchs, brownstones and slums.
Open spaces blanketed by spectacle & infanticide crafted by the Hand, quantitated & calcified.

When the time is nigh to ride & cannot wait,
Barbarians dryhump, genuflect outside the gates.
Remain in full throttle,
Behold! the Everett-Wheeler Model.

You haven't either
