Document Summary
Not just out of context quotes, he properly wrote in aphoristic style, an aphorism is a short statement, which stand as a part by themselves. He probably wrote in this style, lots are missing, but they were meant to be read as a short pithy statement, not paragraphs. Different sources, no one knows which order they were supposed to be read in. (all arbitrary) everyone agrees with the first and second ch. 22,1, b2, everyone has a different interpretation, 12 on pg. 42, nature is very illusive everything is water if that"s the case, it"s certainly hidden from us, to get at the nature of things, it"s to get at something, that doesn"t appeal to our senses. Metaphors (after physics) it came to be interrupted in a different way (beyond physics) it"s not the same as the physical world that we see. It"s not obvious and its somehow resistant to our understanding.
