One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
The Poem: “Jabberwocky,” Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872

To all sorts and conditions of men, Fox continually makes appeal to "that of God" within them... Frequently it is the "Christ within." In every instance he means that the Divine Being operates directly upon the human life, and the new birth, the real spiritual life, begins when the individual becomes aware of [God]...
-Rufus Jones, Introduction to George Fox's Journal

Scientism pervades, but Life does not conform.
How we express our experience of the Divinecan change our experience of the Divine.
Expressing things as we actually perceive them often bumps up against systematized standards.
Some Assertions

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."
"The question is, " said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty. "which is to be master—that's all."
“[TAG is full of]...Olympic-level postmodern Humpty Dumpty language.”

What is our goal?
Where are our chortles?
Power comes with control.
