The Epiphanic Episode I did a year of, about nineteen seventy and a repeat year thirty years later. I began another episode oh say circa 2010 but decided I didn't want to go thru with it. It would have concerned karma. I shook it off as been there done that.

I found out what I had learned in thirty years. The concept of belief, as everybody knows what one says and does is an enormous pressure. They don't know what I think, but they know what I say and know what I do. Am I right ? Can I withstand the stress and strain.

The Epiphanic Episode is the power to believe, in which one cannot not believe. This power at least for me, I used as a learning tool to study philosophy empirically, on the ground as if I was really there, enmeshed in a philosophical dilemma, believing I am the last honest man and they are looking for me as stand in the doorway of this busy street, passers-by peering but not recognizing the last honest wise guy with a price on his head. One can think it superficially, or one can live it, if one has the power of the Epiphanic Episode, not easily come-by and one of the most difficult things one can do.
