This is wild! The overexcitement and enthusiasm in response to every new revelation is very well captured.

What speaks to me most in this chapter is the unexpected sense of being a child again, with the added bonus of not being bossed around by pesky adults. That's really great! It also reflects the philosophy of Jean Gebser, who wrote about structures of consciousness, suggesting that humans don't 'grow out of different stages' (towards enlightenment or whatever) but that growth of consciousness is a process of integration of earlier experience ~ as beautifully demonstrated by Paul Endrum in this chapter.

We seem to be moving from the spiritual Lilliputians to the Brobdingnagians.
