The Kolbrin gives a whole other version of creation, even at a glance i noticed proto-scientific terms, like describing "pre-solar grains" traveling since the beginning of time, being swung around the universe and eventually hitting earth and creating "mud eggs".
Its a great read regardless, and supposedly was the reason for the Roman Pope going up against the Holy Roman Emperor around 1000AD, and the introduction of celibacy and the end of decent priests having children to continue the legacy.
>the first time i read it i kept thinking "the ramifications... the ramifications..."
Being and time by Heidegger

Read the letters between the classics. Max Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Oppenheimer. It's amazing how mortal they sound even though their work is transcendental. I just started on Jon Lucas and Douglas Hofstadter, seems promising.

"About Time" by Paul Davies
You just need Rudolf Steiner bro.
“There are beings in the spiritual realms for whom anxiety and fear emanating from human beings offer welcome food. When humans have no anxiety and fear, then these creatures starve. People not yet sufficiently convinced of this statement could understand it to be meant comparatively only. But for those who are familiar with this phenomenon, it is a reality. If fear and anxiety radiates from people and they break out in panic, then these creatures find welcome nutrition and they become more and more powerful. These beings are hostile towards humanity.
Everything that feeds on negative feelings, on anxiety, fear and superstition, despair or doubt, are in reality hostile forces in supersensible worlds, launching cruel attacks on human beings, while they are being fed. Therefore, it is above all necessary to begin with that the person who enters the spiritual world overcomes fear, feelings of helplessness, despair and anxiety. But these are exactly the feelings that belong to contemporary culture and materialism; because it estranges people from the spiritual world, it is especially suited to evoke hopelessness and fear of the unknown in people, thereby calling up the above mentioned hostile forces against them.”
